Facts about the Persecution of Mr. Wu Yueqing from Shuanyashan City, Heilongjiang Province

Mr. Wu Yueqing, a Falun Gong practitioner from Shuanyashan City, Heilongjiang Province, has been holding himself to the standards of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" but has been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) many times. He has been arrested, sentenced, cruelly tortured many times, and seriously injured.

Mr. Wu Yueqing has been persecuted by police and seriously injured.

Currently, Mr. Wu's muscles have atrophied, he has multiple diseases, he can't take care of himself, and he is dying. The only person who can take care of him is his sister, Ms. Wu Yuexia. She was taken away by CCP officials and is now detained in the Jianusi City Xigemu Forced Labour Camp. His wife had passed away, and his 13-year-old son has nobody to take care of him. His son has been placed in the custody of the Jiamusi Orphans Court.

The Details of Mr. Wu Yueqing's Persecution by the CCP

In June and July of 2000, Mr. Wu went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and he was taken to the Changchun City Tiebei Detention Centre. Mr. Wu went on a hunger strike to resist his detention, so he was force-fed by a prison doctor and guards from the detention centre. They stuffed a water bottle down into his throat, causing serious injury. After they finished force-feeding him, Mr. Wu's lungs appeared to have serious problems, so he was taken to the hospital. While he was hospitalized, guards instigated the inmates to cruelly beat him and pour cold water over him. He wasn't released until over nine months later. In the same year, police officers from the Sitaifang Police Sub-Bureau extorted 3,000 yuan¹ from Mr. Wu.

In December 2001, Mr. Wu was arrested by CCP officers at a site producing leaflets exposing the persecution. Those involved in Mr. Wu's persecution included the people in charge of the 610 Office², Ling Qingfan, Ling Dawei, Li Hongbo, Du Zhanyi, Liu Weitong, and other police officers. On June 5th, 2003, CCP officials sentenced Mr. Wu to twelve years and transferred him to Mudanjiang Prison.

In Mudanjiang Prison, Mr. Wu appeared to have symptoms of a serious illness. He was by then emaciated, but the guards there didn't pay attention to his condition and only later, when Mr. Wu appeared to be dying, did they allow him to be admitted to a hospital. However, Mr. Wu's condition deteriorated due to lack of care from the hospital and obstruction from the police. These incidents occurred between the end of 2006 and the first half of 2007. They did not release him until he was on the verge of death.

Since Mr. Wu got home, he has been in critical condition. Only his sister, Ms. Wu Yuexia, who teaches at the Baoshan Middle School, was able to take care of him. On September 28th, 2007, police officers Zhao Kui, Fang Xiaoming, Li Fu, and Zhou Jianmin from the Baoshan District in Shuanyashan City broke into Ms. Wu Yuexia's home, although they did not have authorization to search her house. They lied to her, saying that they needed her to validate some information, but then they took her away. They tried to extort 20,000 yuan from her family, and when her family refused to comply, the officers took Ms. Wu to a forced labor camp. Before that, 610 Office leader Chen Zhen from the Baoshan Police Sub-Bureau had tried to extort money from Ms. Wu many times but never succeeded, so he had a vendetta against her.

We hope that the international community will pay more attention to Falun Gong practitioners who are being persecuted in China, and come to China to investigate their situation as soon as possible. This most evil persecution must end immediately.
