Illegal Detention of Kidnapped Dafa Practitioners

Huadian City, Jilin Province
On January 8, 2001, officers from the city police department kidnapped Dafa practitioner Mao Chun. Their excuse was to "check on some information." On January 22, 2001, he was illegally arrested and detained in Huadian Detention Centre and has been held there until now. Because the police did not have enough evidence, there was no final decision on his case. From November till December 6, 2001, Mao Chun had gone on hunger strike for 16 or 17 days to appeal for unconditional release. Due to the hunger strike, Mao Chun's throat was so swollen that it was blocked. His mouth and tongue were festering. He became emaciated and was at his last gasp of breath. His relatives couldn't even recognize him. They appealed to Zhou Jian, the official of the Political and Judiciary Committee and the head of "610 Office." (The "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems). Zhou Jian asked them to go to appeal to the Supreme Court of the province. There wasn't any reply the following day. The relatives asked the detention centre to send Mao Chun to a hospital but they were refused. Although Mao Chun is in such serious condition, Zhou Jian told his relatives, "Someone will take care of it if anything goes wrong."
Guo Baochen, Guo Chengxiang and Duan Liangjun are also detained for extended periods of time.
