National Security Team in Baoding City Steals Money and Property From Practitioner Liu Zhihui

Mr. Liu Zhihui, a practitioner from Hebei Province, was arrested by police from the National Security Team at the Baoding Public Security Bureau, including Feng Yong, Liu Zhenchang, Wang Hong'en and Xue Xian. Mr. Liu was detained for one day and night. Later, he was sent to the Qingyuan County brainwashing centre and not given any food or water for five days. The police injected Mr. Liu Zhihui with unknown drugs over the course of two days.

On September 4th, 2007, the Baoding City Public Security Bureau forced Mr. Liu Zhihui's family to pay fifteen thousand yuan¹. The police said that they would release him if the family paid the money and that they had to have the money before 12 o'clock. Liu Zhihui's family collected fifteen thousand yuan and before 12 o'clock they handed it to the Baoding City Public Security Bureau. After securing the fifteen thousand yuan, they said, "He was sentenced to a forced labour camp. If we cannot release him, we will give you back the money."

On the next day, the National Security Team in Baoding City Public Security Bureau sent Liu Zhihui to the forced labour camp. Liu Zhihui's family was refunded only ten thousand yuan. The other five thousand supposedly paid for the meals at the labour camp.

Since Liu Zhihui had a rapid heart-beat and was vomiting blood, the forced labour camp refused to take him. The Baoding City Public Security Bureau National Team did not agree, and said that they would give the five thousand yuan to the forced labour camp if they would take Liu Zhihui. The forced labour camp, however, was afraid to shoulder the responsibility, and stated, "Even if you give us five thousand yuan, we are not going to take him." With no other choice, the police from the National Security Team said, "Send him home." They dragged Liu Zhihui, who was covered in mud and grime, into the vehicle, dropped him off at his cousin's home and drove away.

Mr. Liu Zhihui, 36, is from Daliu Village, Xiaochen Town, Li County, Hebei Province. Before he started practising Falun Dafa, he always loafed around and gambled. Later he became very sick and could hardly walk and take care of himself. After practising Falun Gong for three months, Liu Zhihui's illnesses disappeared. The villagers were amazed that Mr. Liu had changed so much and was now very helpful to others. He now lived harmoniously with his village neighbours. Everyone new that it was Falun Gong that made the difference in his life.

On August 28th, 2007, the Baoding City Public Security Bureau National Team used six vehicles to follow Liu Zhihui to the Beidaran Restaurant in Qingyuan. Liu Zhihui's cousin invited the four followers, including Feng Yong, Liu Zhenchang, Wang Hong'en, and Xue Xian, for dinner. During dinner, Liu Zhihui clarified the truth of Falun Gong to the four of them. The four did not say anything. After dinner, Feng Yong, Liu Zhenchang, Wang Hong'en and Xue Xian attempted to extort money and property from Liu Zhihui, but were rejected.

Feng Yong, Liu Zhenchang, Wang Hong'en and Xue Xian were so mad that they forcibly arrested Liu Zhihui and took him to the Baoding City Public Security Bureau. He had eight thousand, nine hundred and sixty yuan in cash with him (he was preparing to pay his client), which was confiscated by the police. His vehicle was confiscated another van of his was also taken away by the police. Four hundred and forty yuan in cash was also stolen from Liu Zhihui's store, "Qinghua Culture and Sports Store," as well as over ten thousand in cash that Cui Hu was carrying. Cui Hu was also arrested. Property confiscated included three computers, fifteen printers that were to be repaired, a printer that was unopened to be sold on someone else's behalf, a large lamp needing repair, a mobile phone battery-recharger, a satellite receiver, an electric welder, two welding tables, a computer, five buckets of ball-point pens, a telephone book, a business card book, Liu Zhihui's mobile phone and a motor vehicle.

On August 30th of the same year, Wang Junchan, a police officer from the Li County National Security Team, along with Zhang Zhan'gen from the Xiaochen Village Police Substation, joined police from the National Security Team of the Baoding City Public Security Bureau, to again ransack Liu Zhihui's home.
