Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Liaoyang County, Liaoning Province

Liaoyang County of Liaoning Province is located in the middle the Liaodong Peninsula. From the 3rd century B.C. to the 17th century it had always been the centre of politics, economy and culture in the northeast area. Since July 20th, 1999, under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) personnel's direction and agitation, many entities were involved in the persecution of Falun Dafa. Agents from the Liaoyang County Police Department, from the 610 Office¹ and from the National Security division, as well as by representatives from the surrounding townships who were actively involved in the persecution led these despicable efforts.

Over the last seven years they have committed numerous crimes: mercilessly beating Dafa practitioners, searching and robbing practitioners of their property, extorting money from 1,000 yuan² to 40,000 yuan. In violation of the Chinese constitution, they put Dafa practitioners into brainwashing classes, issued sentences and placed practitioners in forced labour camps. Agents from the local Liuerbao Township police station took part in the persecution and acted as evil vanguards. The CCP named this station on August 23rd, 2005 the "outstanding national public security unit."

Dafa practitioner Ms. Guo Shuyan, 38 years old, from Jitongyu township, went to Beijing to appeal on December 17th, 2001. She was arrested that day and later transferred to the Liaoyang Detention Centre and was subsequently put into a forced labour camp for three years. At the time of her transport to the notorious Masanjia Forced Labour Camp, she was physically feeble and in critical condition. She was sent home at 2 o'clock afternoon on December 30th and passed away the morning of December 31st, 2001.
Dafa practitioner Mr. Li Mingyuan lived in the Sanxin subdivision in Shoushan Township. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon on March 15th, 2001, Liaoyang County police surrounded his home, broke into his home from the 2nd floor balcony, arrested him, and searched his home. They also took away Dafa books; confiscated cash of 11,000 yuan, and a 30,000-yuan deposit book in his child’s name. In 2002, the police withdrew this money from the bank. In November 2001, Li Mingyuan was sentenced to 11 years in jail. He is now incarcerated in Masanjia Second Prison in Shenyang.

Dafa practitioner Mr. Tian Weijun lived in Anzhuangzi Village, Shoushan County. He was arrested on December 27th, 2003 and was later sentenced to nine years in prison. He is presently incarcerated in the 2nd division of the 9th Prison at the Panjing Prison Campus. Tian Weijun’s wife, Wang Yinping, was sentenced to nine years in 2001. She is presently deprived of freedom in the 2nd Division at the campus of the Liaoning Prison Women's Division.

Dafa practitioner Mr. Qu Yongjiu lived at the Sanxin subdivision in Shoushan Township. Liaoyang County police arrested him on July 4th, 2002 at 6:00 a.m. He was sentenced to seven years and is presently an inmate at the Huazi Prison in Liaoyang. His wife, Yao Mei, was arrested on December 27th, 2003 and was tortured by Liaoyang police department agents: subjected to the tiger bench³; burned between the fingers with cigarettes, beatings, and verbal abuse. On January 10th, 2005, she received an ten-year prison sentence and is presently being held at the Dabei Prison in Shenyang City.

On September 10th, 2006, practitioner Mr. Xie Mingyi was arrested at his home. Participating in the arrest were Mujia Town Police Station head Zhang Fuhao, policeman Sun Tiexu, Ma Tingli and Liaoyang County National Security police officer Luo Qingshen. He was forced to make a confession by torture, and his present whereabouts are unknown. That was Xie Mingyi’s 3rd imprisonment. On January 11th, 2007, a middle school teacher practitioner in Liuerbao Town was arrested. Local police station agents and administration security personnel took him to Shoushan.

The CCP’s "caring education school" is actually a forced brainwashing class. It physically and mentally devastates Falun Gong practitioners. The brainwashing class supervisors in charge of brainwashing were: Wu Daguang, Bai Jie, Ling Xiuhua, Zhang Haiyan, and Ma Yongchang.
