Dentist Li Yongquan from Inner Mongolia Framed and Sentenced in Beijing

Former dentist, Li Yongquan, from Hulunbei'er Meng of Inner Mongolia, was constantly persecuted by local police simply because he believed in Falun Dafa. He was forced to go to Beijing to make a living. In August 2004, he was framed; the police detained him and beat him up. Now he is detained in Baoanzhao Jail in Zalaite Flag, Hulunbei'er Meng, Inner Mongolia.

Doctor Li Yongquan lived in Inner Mongolia Hulunbeier League, Yakeshi City. In December of 1999, he went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. Just because of this, he was detained for nearly a year and a half in Yakeshi City detention centre, and was sentenced to three years' imprisonment, with a suspension period of three years. After being released from jail, he worked as a dentist in the community. However, the authorities from the Yakeshi City government, the 610 Office¹, public security bureau, and police department, constantly came to harass him. Later on, they confiscated all the equipment at the clinic. Consequently, Mr. Li could no longer live a normal life. The authorities' illegal actions gave him no choice but to move into his brother's place in Anqing City, Anhui Province. Even so, the authorities from Yakeshi City 610 Office, public security, the police department and so forth, drove him out and sent him to a detention centre. At the detention centre, deputy chief Li Yilong beat him severely until he was spitting out blood. Li was detained for a year. His brother and relatives went to various 610 Offices and the public security bureau to appeal for his release. Eventually, Li's brother took him back to Beijing to make a living.

On the night of August 31st, 2004, while Mr. Li was passing by Changping Residential Area to ask for directions from an elderly lady, he saw a man drop something from his bicycle. He quickly picked up the bag and called out to the owner. However, the owner didn't hear. Li ran after him. Right at that moment, a woman named Zhang Yao came along and falsely reported to the authorities that Li was stealing. Consequently, Li was beaten to the point of unconsciousness at Huilongguan Police Station in Changping District. He was then sent to the Changping Detention Centre, where he was detained for 8 months.

On January 28th, 2005, team leader Gao from the National Protection Team of the Yakeshi City Public Security Bureau and two other policemen were asked by Changping Public Department to take Li Yongquan back from the Changping Detention Centre. However, when the police from Yakeshi City asked for evidence of the beating by policeman Chen Yunong from the Huilongguan Police Station, Chen was afraid of leaving any trace of what they did. Therefore, he did not let Yakeshi City police take him away.

Mr. Li was severely beaten during an interrogation by policeman Chen Yunong and others. His physical condition is as follows:

1. Right side of the rib cage fractured in many places (September 14th, 2004, diagnosed at Changping Hospital)
2. Right eye, cornea injured (December 21st, 2005, diagnosed at Changping Hospital)
3. Left knee joint injured (x-ray performed; now waiting for CT scan)
4. Infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis at the right lung (Diagnosed at the Changping Tuberculosis Protection and Cure Centre on January 2nd, 2005)

Due to the serious nature of the injuries, Li could only stay at Beijing Changping detention centre for a year, without receiving any treatment.

Eight months after Li was detained, Beijing policeman Chen Yunong and other police put a flyer on a door and took a picture to frame Li, and then asked Zhan Yao to lie, thus Mr. Li was sentenced for three and half years. After he was detained for 16 months at Changping Detention Centre in Beijing, he was sent to the Eighth Division of Baoanzhao Jail in Zalaite Flag, Hulunbei'er Meng, Inner Mongolia.

False witness Zhang Yao's home address: Unit 3, Building 13, Longxiang Residential Area, Xisanqi, Changping District, Beijing.
