Li Chuanyu from Juancheng County, Shandong Province Arrested Two Years Ago, Whereabouts Unknown

Mr. Li Chuanyu, a Falun Gong practitioner from Xugai Village, Juancheng County, Heze City of Shandong Province, was arrested by police from the Public Security Bureau of Juancheng County in the summer of 2006. His whereabouts are currently unknown.

Mr. Li Chuanyu, 40 years old, lived in a poverty-stricken county. He is disabled, his wife suffers from mental illness, and his daughter is ill. Nevertheless, the county police repeatedly broke into his home and extorted thousands of yuan¹ from his family every time he was released from police custody.

Because he was repeatedly arrested, Li Chuanyu often could not take care of his wife and children. He took out his family's remaining 500 yuan for his brother, whom he asked to take care of his family. When the police returned, Li Chuanyu hid the money, but the police raided his home and seized the money

A number of Falun Gong practitioners in Xugai Village, Fenghuang Township of Shandong Province have been subjected to brutal persecution since they were sent back there after they appealed in Beijing on July 20th, 1999 to end the persecution of Falun Gong.

For eight years, police from the County Public Security Bureau have repeatedly come to this small village, arresting Falun Gong practitioners and extorting money from them. The families of the Falun Gong practitioners in this village live under a constant state of terror. A female practitioner was seized by the police, who forced the family to give them 10,000 yuan before she was returned. With no other option, the family had to borrow the huge sum of money to secure her release.

Every year when the New Year approaches, many officers from the County Public Security Bureau descend upon the village to arrest Falun Gong practitioners and hold them for exorbitant ransoms.

Xugai village is only 10 kilometres away from the county seat, but the flow of news to and from the village is sporadic. We hope that the practitioners in Juancheng County will establish better contact with the village to better expose the persecution and create a better cultivation environment.

Below are the relevant telephone numbers:

We hope that practitioners in and out of China will help to find and rescue our fellow practitioners.
