On September 8th, 2006, policemen Liu Zhongping and Liu Feng from the Kangping Police Station, Lishu County, Jilin Province, arrested Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Meng Xiangqi and looted his cash, bank card and ID card. Later Mr. Meng was sentenced to six years in prison.
On October 30th, Mr. Meng's 85-year-old grandmother, Ms. Zhang Shulan, twice went to Liu Zhongping asking for her grandson's release and return of the confiscated cash. However, she was verbally abused and slapped in the face. Liu dragged her to the street.
Afterwards, she went to various departments to appeal for her grandson. She talked to the county sheriff, Li Youchang, two or three times but each time Li simply paid lip service, promising an investigation, but never took any action.
Hopeless, Ms. Zhang Shulan went to the streets to appeal to the general public. After learning of her situation, people were very indignant. Some called reporters to tell her story while others contacted the TV station or the Siping City mayor. However, none of those contacted ever did anything about it.
At 8:00 on the morning of November 16th, Lishu County Police Department Chief Wang Xiaochun led a group of police to the street where Zhang Shulan and her daughter, Ms. Wang Guizhen, were making a public appeal and arrested them. While dragging them to the police van, the police severely injured Ms. Zhang's arms. As a result, she cannot take care of herself.
According to witnesses, Ms. Wang Guizhen was brutally beaten during the process. After learning the news, their relatives went to ask for their release, however, the police threatened to arrest them as well. Ms. Wang wasn't released until 10 days later.
