Current Conditions of Practitioners Persecuted in Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province

Li Degao, director of the Public Security Bureau in Liupanshui City, has actively participated in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners since the persecution began on July 20th, 1999. He plotted the arrests of many practitioners while he was the head of the 610 Office¹ in the Zhongshan District, Liupanshui City. He was promoted to director of the Public Security Bureau in Liupanshui City and continued rampantly arresting practitioners. In October, three practitioners from Wangjiazai Mine (part of Liupanshui Water Mine Corporation) were arrested.

Liupanshui Water Mine Corporation party secretary Su Guoze, 610 Office Head Kong Lingwen, and Bu Guojin forced practitioners to write the three statements, a guarantee to no longer practise Falun Gong. The gangsters said that if they refused to write the guarantees, they would lay off their relatives and cut off their salaries. Because of what they did, the Water Mine Corporation was promoted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as an "advanced group," and Su Guoze was positively evaluated as a "Vanguard." Retribution for Su Guoze came in the form of his being diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and he is now in Shanghai waiting for a liver transplant.

Practitioners arrested in Liupanshui City were held in prisons all over Guizhou Province, where they suffered inhuman treatment, which devastated their bodies and minds. There are over 60 practitioners held in Duyun Prison. Practitioners still have no freedom even if they are released from jail.
