Retired CCP Huainan City Committee Secretary Mr. Liu Degao Died under Persecution

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Liu Degao, 84, worked in the Anhui Province Police Department in the 1950s, and was the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Huainan City Committee Secretary in Anhui Province until he retired. He started cultivating Falun Dafa in 1997. After July 20th, 1999, he wrote to Jiang Zemin many times, but that only brought disaster upon him.

In the spring of 2000, Mr. Liu Degao was deceived into going to a brainwashing centre, where he was cursed during the day and forced to sleep on the icy-cold cement floor for one week at night. He was released after they had extorted 6,000 yuan¹ from him. The town officials kept threatening him at his home upon his return.

Under long-term threats and suppression, his wife, a non-practitioner, burnt all his Falun Dafa books, causing him to become painfully sick. He died on August 16th, 2004.

On January 19th, 2004, the Taoxu Town officers conducted large scale arrests of Falun Dafa practitioners by using all personnel from every Department. They "registered" all the practitioners and arrested everyone on the list.
