Recently, Jiang Zemin, the former Chinese dictator who started the persecution of Falun Gong, visited Longkou City, Shandong Province. During his visit, 610 Office1 officials in Longkou City arrested over thirty Falun Dafa practitioners and sent them to a brainwashing centre. They have been detained there since April 30th.
Practitioners in Dingjia Town Arrested
At around 7:00 p.m. on May 8th, Meng Ziyi of the Xiadingjia Juridical System ordered several policemen to break into Xing Qifu's home. When Xing Qifu heard the police outside his home, he urgently jumped out of his window. He landed on the top of his neighbour's single-story home, at which point his neighbour's dog started barking.
Meng Ziyi ordered the police to break into Xing Qifu's neighbour's home and search the house. The police followed Xing Qifu, who was trying to escape, into Xing Zhijin's house. Meng Ziyi stepped on Xing Qifu's throat, nearly suffocating him.
The police carried Xing Qifu, who was already near-death at that point, and left him lying on the cold cement ground before taking him to the brainwashing centre. Other practitioners at the brainwashing centre protested the torture of Xing Qifu and requested a doctor for him. When the doctor saw Xing Qifu however, he said nothing and left. Later, the police were forced to send Xing Qifu to the People's Hospital in Longkou City. When Jiang left (at around 2:00 p.m. the next day), Meng Ziyi sent Xing Qifu home without any shoes. Xing Qifu was not able to walk and had to ask others to help him.
Xing Qifu's wife asked Sun Xuchao, an official from the town government, "What can I do to stop the persecution of Xing Qifu?" Sun Xuchao said, "You can try whatever you want, You can file a lawsuit wherever you want. You can go to Beijing to appeal if you want."
On the morning of the May 11th, Xing Qifu's wife was not at home. Meng Ziyi led a few thugs to break into Xing Qifu's neighbour's single-story house, where they found Xing Qifu lying on the bed. Harassing him, someone said, "Aren't you ill? Open the door. I will take you to see the doctor." Upon seeing that Xing Qifu did not move, they left.
While all of this persecution was happening to Xing Qifu, Xing Qifu's mother, who was 85 years old at the time, was too scared to eat or sleep. Three other practitioners, Sun Cuifang, Ding Xueshan and Mr. Wang were also arrested."
Practitioners in Fengyi Town Illegally Arrested and Sent to a Brainwashing Centre
On April 13th, a practitioner named Qu Jianqin was arrested by two female thugs. Qu Jianqin explained the true situation of Falun Dafa surrounding her. Later, she discovered multiple bruises on her body.
Ms. Zhang was also arrested while working in the field. She was first abducted and taken to the Office of the Village Party Committee, and then she was sent to the brainwashing centre.
Qu Jianqin and Ms. Zhang were taken to a brainwashing centre. They were severely tortured by Yu Yonglu because they shouted "Falun Dafa is good."
Practitioners of Beima Town Arrested and their Homes Searched
Practitioner Li Zhishuang was sent to a brainwashing centre. His home was searched as well. The police confiscated his TV, VCD, Dafa books and other personal belongings. Li Zhishuang was released only after Jiang left. Li Zhishuang was extremely traumatised by this.
Important note: Li Zhishuang is related to Yu Guiying, who died in a car accident on July 3rd, 2004. As his only living relative, the government promised to compensate Li 68,000 yuan2. However, the police in Beima delayed a long time before distributing the funds. Finally, Luan Hongbo, who is head officer in Beima Police Station, informed Li Zhishuang to take the money. But he only gave Li Zhishuang 48,000 yuan, and told him, "That's it. You can appeal wherever you want."
Yu Guiying's relatives had to suffer in silence (because there is nowhere to appeal).
A homeless practitioner's relative in Dongliu Town, Beima County was searched. The police officer confiscated the practitioner's TV, VCD and Dafa books. Their home was left in a big mess.
From April 30th to the day Jiang left, over thirty practitioners were abducted and sent to a brainwashing centre in Longkou.
