Two Practitioners in Jinan, Shandong Province Arrested

Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Li Jianmei and Huang Min from Jinan City went to Cao County to work. One day when they were speaking to people about the facts of Falun Dafa in a restaurant, police officers from the 610 Office¹ found them and arrested Huang Min. Ms. Li condemned their actions, so she was arrested as well. Then police went to their homes in Jinan to perform searches.

Ms. Li Jianmei and Huang Min's boss heard the news. Since Ms. Li was an accountant, the boss requested a consultation with her for business purposes, but the police refused. It is said that the police demanded 5,000 yuan² to allow Ms. Li's boss to talk to her.

Huang Min had been tortured in a mental hospital in October 2003.

Ms. Li Jianmei had been sent to a forced labour camp twice; once on October 25th, 2000, and once in July 2003. Since she refused to write a "guarantee statement³", refused to do labour, refused to wear a defaming sign, and always called out "Falun Dafa is good," "Falun Dafa is a righteous practice," she was tortured to the point of fainting a few times. She was hung up, shocked with electric batons, and bound on a death bed for 52 days. Towels immersed in urine were stuffed into her mouth and secured with tape. She was not allowed to have any water to drink, nor was she allowed to go to the washroom. She was tortured to the point of spitting blood for nine days. However, all of this horrible treatment did not make her yield. Her cries encouraged all practitioners in the workshop; they resisted the persecution and went on strike together. She used the opportunity of being held in the broadcasting room to her advantage. She picked up the microphone and said loudly, "What was broadcast just now was all rumours and slanderous lies. Falun Dafa is righteous! Falun Dafa is good! Do not believe in the lies.
