Ms. Liu Dan, 30, is a Dafa practitioner from Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province, and a graduate of Jiamusi University. After she was arrested on October 24th, 2005, she suffered all sorts of torture, became critically ill twice and had to be sent to the hospital for emergency rescue. All levels of the departments involved in persecuting Ms. Liu feared being held responsible for her situation. Instead, they sent her back to her family, where she was monitored in shifts by more than ten police officers 24-hours a day. On January 12th, the police suddenly took Liu Dan to court for an illegal trial, and alleged on the following day that Liu Dan had been sentenced to four years of imprisonment, and would be sent to Heilongjiang Province Women's Prison for further persecution on January 16th.
Because Liu Dan is very ill and emaciated, she is at still home, but is monitored by the police with a camera and an alarm device around the clock.
1. Five Days and Four Nights of Torture
On October 24th, 2005, police officers arrested Ms. Liu Shulan, a Falun Gong practitioner who worked at the Technical Institute of the Jixi Coal Industry Factory. They also ransacked her home. Dafa practitioner Ms. Chen Lichun and Ms. Liu Dan, who had gone home to visit family, happened to be at practitioner Liu Shulan's home. The three practitioners were sent to the Jiguan District Police Department for questioning. Liu Dan was interrogated by several police officers, and tortured continually for five days and four nights.
After she was arrested, Ms. Liu refused to answer questions at the police interrogation, so policeman Wang Weijun handcuffed her and kept her facing the wall for a long time, while snapping at her and insulting her with dirty words. At night, Wang hung Ms. Liu Dan's hands from a metal door and tied her feet. She had to remain in this painful position, bending her body and lowering her head.
Wang Weijun later demanded Ms. Liu's fingerprints, but she refused. Wang then ordered Ms. Liu to crawl under a chair, but she refused once again. This time, Wang Weijun kicked her down, and her head hit the ground. Wang Weijun folded Ms. Liu's head onto her legs, and put a chair on her back. Wang then sat on the chair from morning until noon.
When Zhang Wei, a policeman from the Jiguan District Police Department, saw Ms. Liu, he punched her on her temple and kicked her face and body with his leather shoes. On the afternoon of October 25th, Zhang Wei tied a photo of Dafa's teacher under Ms. Liu's feet with a rubber band. Liu Dan, who has benefited so much from Dafa, could not bear to see the persecutors treating her teacher this way, when Zhang wasn't looking, Ms. Liu slipped the picture under her clothes and hid it against her back. Zhang asked a policewoman to body search Ms. Liu for the picture, but she failed to find it, so Zhang then attempted to search her. When Liu Dan refused, he ripped off two buttons from her coat. Zhang claimed that he would cover the ground with Dafa books except for a two-foot area (this is considered extremely disrespectful).
That night, when policewoman Jiao Yang found out that Ms. Liu had the picture, she insulted Liu Dan. In front of many male police officers, Jiao Yang lifted Ms. Liu's shirt, grabbed the skin on her stomach and demanded the picture. Then, Wang Weijun kicked her down to the ground, separated her legs, held her face to the ground and beat her. They didn't stop until Jiao Yang found the picture against Ms. Liu's back.
On the afternoon of October 26th, Liu Jiaxue, a policeman who knew martial arts, grabbed Ms. Liu's arm and pressed her acupuncture point at the elbow joint, speeding up her heartbeat and almost making her lose consciousness. The pain of having this pressure point pressed for even one second was excruciating, but Liu Jiaxue repeated it many times. Ms. Liu only shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" When Liu Jiaxue was tired and took a break, he shamelessly said, "I just love to hear you shout 'Falun Dafa is good.'"
A friend of Liu Jiaxue, in his twenties, beat Ms. Liu Dan's hands with a leather belt. Then he beat her down to the ground, grabbed her hair to pull her up, and slammed her head against the wall. Ms. Liu was so weak by this time that she fell down many times. But the policeman continued pulling her up and beating her with a leather belt.
Because of the continuous beating, Ms. Liu's whole body became dark blue and swollen, her face had four injuries, her lips were injured and swollen, her hands had severe wounds, and much of her hair had been ripped out. When Liu Jiaxue and his friends cruelly tortured Liu Dan, another police officer, who could not bear to watch them treat a young girl so violently, walked away.
On the night of October 26th, Liu Dan was already very weak after suffering two days of continual torture. However Wang Weijun still deprived her of sleep, and handcuffed both of her wrists behind her back to a heater pipe until 4:00 a.m. the next day.
2. Critically Ill Twice, Sentenced to Four Years of Imprisonment
On October 28th, Ms. Liu Dan was sent to the Jixi City No. 2 Detention Centre. She had a headache and stomachache, felt severely ill, and was showing symptoms of being close to death. The Jiguan District Sub-bureau sent staff to take Liu Dan to the city hospital for emergency rescue, where they did a CT on her head and ultrasound inspection on her abdomen. In the hospital, Ms. Liu had a feeding tube inserted. Several days later, she was sent back to the detention centre.
On November 11th, Liu Dan could not eat, and was again at death's door. She was sent to the city hospital for emergency rescue, where the doctor used a heart-monitoring instrument, and again put her on a feeding tube. On November 22nd, the Jixi City Police Bureau sentenced Liu Dan, who was still hospitalised, to three years of forced labour, and sent her with Chen Lichun to the Heilongjiang Province Drug Rehabilitation Centre. Because Liu Dan had a gastric haemorrhage, she did not pass the health check, and was rejected by the Drug Rehabilitation Centre. The Jiguan District Sub-bureau then placed her in the hospital of the Drug Rehabilitation Centre.
The Drug Rehabilitation Centre forcibly injected and force-fed Liu Dan. Upon seeing that she was near death, the Drug Rehabilitation Centre requested the Jiguan District Sub-bureau to take Liu Dan back, but the Sub-bureau refused to pick her up, and pushed the responsibility onto the Hengshan District Sub-bureau, which is near her registered residence. Sun Mengshan, the deputy director general of the Hengshan District Sub-bureau (who actively persecutes Falun Gong practitioners, and has been exposed many times on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website) feared being held responsible, so he also refused to pick her up, and finally asked Liu Dan's family to pick her up.
On December 7th, Liu Dan was taken home by her father, but she was home only for one night. On the following day, the Hengshan District Sub-bureau sent police to her home to monitor her around the clock. They ordered her parents to sign a guarantee1. Liu Dan's mother runs a clinic at home, and the appearance of so many police severely affected her business. Liu Dan's father had no choice but to ask a relative to rent a room at Jiukeng in Hengshan District, and sent Liu Dan there. More than ten police then monitored Ms. Liu there 24 hours a day, restricting her personal freedom. Even Liu Dan's relatives were strictly questioned while visiting her.
On January 2nd, 2006, under the control of the Jixi City 610 Office2, the Jiguan Sub-bureau again butted in, and arranged for police officers to monitor Ms. Liu 24 hours a day. In order to persecute Liu Dan during the time she could not be sent to the Drug Rehabilitation Centre, the 610 Office collected many fabricated accusations. They prosecuted Liu Dan by using the Jiguan District Procuratorate on January 6, and prepared to illegally try Liu Dan and Liu Shulan on January 16.
On January 12, the police suddenly brought Liu Dan to court, and illegally tried her and Liu Shulan. In court, Liu Dan and Liu Shulan resisted the persecution with righteous thoughts, and denied all the fabricated charges. On January 13 (the following day), the sentences were delivered to them. Liu Dan was sentenced to four years' imprisonment, and Liu Shulan received eight years' imprisonment. It was decided to send them to the Heilongjiang Province Women's Prison on January 16. From such quick prosecution to sentencing, it can be seen that it was a prearranged plot, and moreover the right to appeal was denied.
The perpetrators stopped at nothing to incriminate and sentence Liu Dan. Ms. Liu is a sensitive and sensible young woman, and she has never broken any law. But because she follows her belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," she has been detained and tortured. When the authorities failed to send her to a forced labour camp, they collected fabricated charges and sentenced her to several years in prison. Where is justice? Where is human nature?
