Several Practitioners Persecuted in Linjiang City

This article is an account of the persecution of several Falun Dafa practitioners who lived in Linjiang City, Jilin Province.

Mr. Liu Baohua is a practitioner from Linjiang City, Jilin Province. He was abducted in 2001 and was sent to the Chaoyanggou Forced Labour Camp where he was savagely tortured and then released. On June 6th, 2005, something outrageous happened. The perpetrators of this despicable act were from the Linjiang City 610 Office¹ and others. They went to Liu Baohua's place of employment and tied him with ropes and carried him into a car. Then they sent him to brainwashing in Baishan.

Mr. Wang Yulian is a practitioner from Linjiang City, Jilin Province. She had severe heart disease before she started practising Falun Gong but recovered full health after she studied Dafa and did the Falun Dafa exercises. One day in 2002, Wang Yulian was abducted by a group of perpetrators from the Xinshi City Police Department and was sent to the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City where she was held for two years. In July 2004, Wang Yulian was again abducted by perpetrators from the same police department and was held in a labour camp for three years. Wang Yulian's husband is a rickshaw driver. Di Lidong, head of the Political and Security Section, is the main person responsible for the persecution.

Practitioners Xu Dongcheng and his wife Wang Sue were cruelly persecuted because they persisted in Dafa practice. In the evening of July 20th, 2001, the police smashed the windows on the balcony, broke in and abducted Wang Sue from her home. They held her in a labour camp for two years. Xu Dongcheng then left home to avoid further abduction. In 2002, the police found Xu Dongcheng's residence. They ransacked his home, took his computer, TV and VCDs. The perpetrators hung him on a heating pipe and savagely beat him. Then they sent him to the Chaoyanggou Forced Labour Camp where he has been held until now.

Ms. Wang Yanyu, 48 years old, is a practitioner from Linjiang City, Jilin Province and worked at the Linjiang Forestry Bureau. Because she persisted in Dafa practice the local police, led by Yu Peiyou, abducted and persecuted Wang Yanyu many times since 2002. In 2004, Wang Yanyu was sentenced to three years of forced labour and was sent to the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp.

Ms. Xu Liji is a practitioner from Linjiang City, Jilin Province. She started practising Dafa in 1997. The police constantly harassed her after 1999. In 2001 she was abducted and detained for nearly six months. She opted to live in exile to avoid being abducted. In May 2005, with orders from the 610 Office and the police department, local police officer Li Zhaoxin and other perpetrators from the local community abducted Xu Liji from work and sent her to the Baishan Brainwashing Class.

Ms. Feng Shumei is a practitioner from Linjiang City, Jilin Province. She had dizzy spells, neurasthenia gravis, chronic pharyngitis, and sciatica, among other illnesses. After she started practising Dafa in 1999 she was cured of all illnesses and became very energetic. She took care of her mother-in-law. One day in 2001, Feng Shumei was telling the facts of Falun Dafa to people who had been misled by the government propaganda when perpetrators from Linjiang Forestry Bureau Police Station abducted her. She was sentenced to two years of forced labour. Feng Shumei was shocked with electric batons, brutally beaten and subjected to brainwashing at the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp. The guards deprived her of sleep and forced her to do slave labour. She was detained 20 days past her term. During her detention, the officials deprived her son of a job opportunity because of his mother's Falun Gong practice. In May 2005 the perpetrators again harassed Feng Shumei at her home, but her family protected her. Shao Gang and Liu Guangxiu from the Jianguo Street Party Committee and a group of perpetrators from the Jianguo Police Department enquired about her whereabouts. They constantly harassed her family members at the homes of her mother and of her daughter. Her 80-year-old mother-in-law is left home uncared for.
