Mr. Li Jingyi from Dalian City was sentenced to forced labour in 2000 after he went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practise Falun Gong. Mr. Li was taken to a Dalian forced labour camp. On August 14th, 2003, he was arrested by Zhongshan Division of Dalian Public Security Bureau officials and persecuted in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. At the time of his release, he was emaciated and on the verge of death. He was arrested again on September 12th, 2007. The Shanghai Community of Qingni Neighbourhood in the Zhongshan Region helped the Zhongshan Division to arrest him, but their attempt to return him to Masanjia Forced Labour Camp failed.
Over 60 practitioners, including Mr. Li, were transferred to Masanjia Labour Camp in Shenyang City in October, 2004. Li Jingyi's health deteriorated drastically due to persecution. He was unable to eat or drink and was taken to the No.1 Shenyang People's Hospital for an examination. The doctor indicated that he was in critical condition.
Mr. Li could hardly breathe and was close to death in July 2005, when Masanjia Forced Labour Camp guards placed him in a plastic garlic bag and took him to the labour camp gate. A labour camp team leader, a policeman on duty, and a driver took him back to Dalian City. However, none of the three police stations in Dalian City (Qingniwanqiao Police Station, Tianjingjie Police Station, and Guilin Police Station) would take him. Eventually, the three labour camp guards dropped off Mr. Li in Dalian City and immediately left for Shenyang.
At the end of December 2005, he was reported to police officials in Baoye by people who did not understand Falun Gong. Mr. Li had been distributing leaflets exposing the persecution and telling people the facts about Falun Gong in front of the Dalian Daily newspaper building. Tianjinjie Police Station sent officers Wang Shixiang and Wang, who took him to a subdivision of Dalian City Public Security Bureau. The subdivision officials created an interrogation "record" from their questions. The police officers took Mr. Li to the Yaojia Detention Centre without a signature on the record.
After the detention centre director read the results of Mr. Li's physical exam, he informed the police officers, "We cannot accept him. Take him and leave." However, the two officers insisted on leaving Li Jingyi in the detention centre. The director got angry, saying, "Are you guys going to be responsible for this man if anything happens to him?" He escorted the officers to the detention centre gate. When they arrived at the gate, the two officers were still not willing to leave. They called their supervisor and requested permission to take Mr. Li back to the labour camp the next day. The director told them clearly, "Don't even think about it. We will not take him tomorrow, either, even if you send him back again!" The two officers were very disappointed and had to drive Mr. Li back to the local police station. They did not release him until they verified his poor health condition.
On September 12th, 2007, Mr. Li went to the neighbourhood community service office on personal business. However, he was arrested by police officers again and detained in the Tianjinjie Police Station. On the third day, he was taken to Masanjia Forced Labour Camp in Shenyang City. A physical examination at the labour camp revealed that he was in very poor health, so officials drove him back home.
On the way back, he repeatedly asked the local police station director, who frowned and looked fierce the entire time, "How many Falun Gong practitioners have you sent to the labour camp?" The director, who had been working in the police station for about a year, answered, "Just you!" Sincerely and kindly Mr. Li said to the director, "That is really good. I am the first one you have arrested and I'm also the last one! This kind of thing absolutely cannot happen a second time, as it is not good for you and your family." He also told the other policeman in the car, "It is very fortunate that you were not able to get me into the labour camp today. Falun Gong teaches people to be good and elevates their moral standards. It has numerous benefits yet does nothing harmful. Please remember these words in your heart: 'Falun Gong is good' and 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' They will help you when you are in difficulties and danger. Persecuting Falun Gong and practitioners will incur retribution. I do not want to see anything bad happen to you."
