Ten Falun Gong practitioners from Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province were arrested by Wang Xiaofeng, the director of the Pingfangzi Police Substation of Kazuo County, in July 2008. During the past eight months, several of the practitioners were sentenced to long prison terms. Wang Zhangang and Yun Guolin are detained in Benxi Prison; Fan Zhenguo is detained in Panjin Prison (where he is often tortured by being shocked with electric batons); Zhang You and Yan Zhifu are detained in Dalian Prison; Ren Guilan is detained in Shenyang City Women's Prison; and Liu Shulan was rejected by Masanjia Forced Labour Camp because of her health condition. She is currently detained in the Kazuo County Detention Centre. Two other Falun Gong practitioners - Liu Shufeng and Gao Fengshan - are missing, and Falun Gong practitioner Pang Qingbai escaped.
The above ten Falun Gong practitioners from Sanjiazi Township were distributing leaflets exposing the persecution of Falun Gong in the Pingfangzi and Taohuachi areas of Kazuo County on the night of July 19th, 2008. When they were about to drive back, around 1:30 a.m.., they were stopped by a police car from the Pingfangzi Police Substation.
The director of the police substation, Wang Xiaofeng, held a gun, while another policeman held an electric baton and forcibly opened the practitioners' car door. After they found literature exposing the persecution, they forced everyone to get out of the car and get into the police cars. Falun Gong practitioner Fan Zhenguo constantly tried to explain the facts about Falun Gong to the policemen, until the officers pressed his head down and he was not allowed to talk. Afterwards, two police cars took the ten practitioners to the Pingfangzi Police Substation.
After practitioner Yun Guolin got out of the police car, he ran toward the gate. Wang Xiaofeng chased him with a gun and shot him. Yun Guolin fell, and one of his arms was injured. After he was taken back, the police hung him on a house beam with ropes and beat him.
While Wang Xiaofeng was chasing Yun Guolin, Fan Zhenguo climbed over the wall and got away. The police searched three times for him, but didn't find him. Pang Qingbai jumped out of the window to escape at around 9:00 a.m. In order to successfully escape the ensuing police search, he ran for approximately 50 miles into the mountains. His feet were full of blisters.
The next day (July 20th), Chen Zhi, team leader of the National Security Team of Lingyuan City, worked with the Pingfangzi Police Substation to ransack the homes of the nine Falun Gong practitioners. They arrested Liu Shufeng's wife Pang Yulian, and took away a big pot from Pang Qingbai's home. The family of Fan Zhenguo resisted the officers' ransacking, which made Chen Zhi very angry and he vowed to seek revenge.
On July 29th, under the command of Wang Xishan, the Communist Party Committee Secretary of Sanjiazi Township of Lingyuan City, Li Bin and Li Qin teamed up with police from the Pingfangzi Police Substation to arrest Fan Zhenguo. The police held Fan Zhenguo to the ground in the rain and stepped on his head. When their family tried to stop the police, Li Bin from the Sanjiazi Police Substation threatened, "We'll take you too if you try to stop us." The onlookers were angry but dared not say anything.
In Sanjiazi Police Substation, Fan Zhenguo still loudly yelled while being beaten, "Falun Gong is great! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great!" Pang Yulian was detained in a forced labour camp and is currently suffering in Masanjia Labour Camp. It is still not safe for Pang Qingbai to go home.
