Shanxi Province Falun Dafa Practitioners Mr. Li Mingyue and His Son Li Junwen Died as a Result of Persecution in 2002 and 2004

Falun Dafa practitioners Mr. Li Mingyue and his son Li Junwen from Zhuyangzhuang Village, Huozhou City, Shanxi Province died as a result of the persecution. Mr. Li Mingyue died three to four days after four or five police officers came to his house to harass him in October 2002. Mr. Li Junwen was tortured to death in May 2004.

Mr. Li Mingyue was 69 years old. In February 2002, he went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa along with three other family members. They were all arrested and sent back to Huozhou City, detained more than one month in the Huozhou City Detention Centre, and extorted out of more than three thousand yuan. (1)

At midnight on February 5, 2002 (Chinese New Year's Eve), more than ten police officers came and ransacked his home. They also abducted four family members. One day during detention, Mr. Li Mingyue was humiliated by being paraded on the street. He was sentenced to forced labour for one year.

In October 2002, four to five police officers came to his house again to harass him. Mr. Li could not bear such severe mental pressure. He became very weak and died three to four days later.

Mr. Li Mingyue's second son Li Junwen died in May 2004, after being tortured multiple times by police. He is survived by two children who are less than 10 years old.
