How the 610 Office Persecuted a 68-Year-Old Man to Death

Mr. Li Peiyi from Linquan County, Anhui Province was 68 years old. The 610 Office¹ persecuted him and detained him in a brainwashing centre four times, tortured him in a mental hospital once, and detained him in a detention centre twice. Mr. Li died in March 2005.

Mr. Li Peiyi lived in Yangqiao Town, Linquan County. Before he practised Falun Gong, he suffered from septicaemia and trifacial neuralgia. For a long time, he was not able to cure his diseases. After he started practising Falun Gong in 1998, all of his diseases were gone without treatment. He couldn't describe his joy.

After the Chinese Communist Party and Jiang Zemin's regime started persecuting Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999, Mr. Li sold his wheat to pay for travel expenses and went to Beijing to appeal to the government to stop persecuting Falun Dafa. He was arrested, taken back to Lianquan, and sent to a labour camp in Hefei city, Anhui Province. The labour camp refused to accept him because of his old age. The police extorted more than 5,000 yuan² from him before releasing him.

After he returned home, the Linquan 610 Office arrested him and persecuted him in a brainwashing centre four times, tortured him in a mental hospital once, and detained him in a detention centre twice. The Linquan 610 Office even lied about his age, saying he was 58 years old instead of 66 years old in order to sentence him.

Mr. Li Peiyi was nearly 70 years old. After so much harassment, detention and torture, he was sent home in an ambulance. When he just began to recover, the police from the Yangqiao Police Station went back to harass him twice. Mr. Li Peiyi died in March 2005.
