Missing Female Falun Gong Practitioner from Shandong Province May Have Been Murdered by the Police

Ms. Gao Deyan, 41, a Falun Gong practitioner who lived in Longkou City in Shandong Province has been missing as a result of the persecution. Under the brutal persecution by Jiang Zemin's regime, Gao Deyan and her husband, Chen Zhaowu, were forced to become homeless at the end of 2000. In the spring of 2001 they were turned into the police. A group of police broke into their living quarters and arrested Chen. At that time, Gao Deyan wasn't home. Later, Chen Zhaowu was sentenced to Liubowang Village Labour Camp. Since then, Gao Deyan has been missing.

They had been living in a place they'd rented in Longkouheping Village and were making a living through doing hard manual labour. Their child was being taking care of by Gao Deyan's sister, Gao Demei, who is also a Falun Gong practitioner. Since Gao Demei was also being persecuted and was detained frequently at that time, she didn't have the ability to investigate Gao Deyan's whereabouts.

At the end of 2001, Longkou City police broke into Gao Demei's home again. Policeman Yu Jiejun identified Gao Deyan's child, and inadvertently said, "Isn't this Gao Deyan's kid? Isn't Gao Deyan dead?"

In October 2004, Gao Demei and Chen Zhaowu went to the house that Gao Deyan and her husband had rented in 2001. They met the person who accidentally found the body of Gao Deyan. The person said, "There was a lot of rain in the summer of 2001, I saw a woman wearing colourful clothing, walking with a bike in her hand. The woman saw three plainclothes police. She dropped the bike and started to run. Three days later, I found her body floating in the water. I reported this to the police. At that time, it was handled by the police captain, Ga Biqiu of the Longkou City Kaifa area police station. The court doctor was also present. He/she collected a sample of Gao Deyan's hair. There were a lot of people watching at that time. Her body was buried a few days later."

After they heard the eyewitness's words, Gao Demei and her family went to see police captain Ge. He wasn't there. The staff on-duty called the Longkou City police station, with no results. The following Monday, Chen Zhaowu, Gao Demei and her husband Xu Xiuhuai went to Longkou City police station to investigate. The police checked the computer and said, "It's not in the records." It seems the case was deleted.
