Practitioner Mr. Du Maomin's Whereabouts Unknown; Was Arrested and Later Held in Weibei Prison

Mr. Du Maomin is a Falun Dafa practitioner from Yan County, Linying City, Shandong Province. He was arrested at the end of 2001 and was later sentenced to five years in Weibei Prison. Recently, the police from the Yan County police station went to Mr. Du's home and told his family that he had been released. The police asked whether his family members had seen him but they said that they had not. The police then said Mr. Du might have gone to work somewhere else.

Mr. Du Maomin's wife was very worried and asked for his whereabouts. She went to the county police station and the police said they had already released him. Mr. Du's wife then travelled a thousand miles to Weibei Prison and asked where he was. The prison officers claimed that they had released Mr. Du three years ago.

Mr. Du was 36 years old. After the persecution of Falun Dafa began in 1999, Mr. Du would not give up his belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." In 2001, the local police station persecuted him, forcing him to leave home. In November 2001, in a rented apartment, Mr. Du, Zhu Tongchao, and one other practitioner were arrested by Xing Anhua, the section leader of the Political and Security Section of Yan County Police Station. The Court House of Yan County secretly sentenced Mr. Du and Zhu Tongchao. Mr. Du was sentenced to prison for five years; Zhu Tongchao was sentenced to four years. They were secretly sent to Weibei Prison for persecution. In the prison, they suffered countless forms of brutal torture. When Mr. Du was detained in the prison, his family, which was not rich, experienced extreme hardship. They had no income and Mr. Du's wife had to take care of their two little children.

During the end of summer 2005, a practitioner from Jining City, Shandong Province, who was kept in the same prison as Mr. Du Maomin, saw him. Mr. Du was being subjected to electric shocks and was detained in the No. 2 area of Huaibai Prison with a group of six or seven others.

Since the exposure of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) harvesting of living Falun Dafa practitioners' organs, it is unknown whether Mr. Du Maomin is still being held in Weibei Prison, or whether he has been transferred to a concentration camp for inhumane persecution. Mr. Du's family cannot see him and they are extremely saddened.
