When Dalian City practitioner Mr. Yu Changshun's daughter went to visit him at the Fushun Brainwashing Centre on October 31st, she found him paralysed in bed and both his legs were swollen to different degrees. Mr. Yu's black hair had turned grey and he had lost more than 30 jin (15 kilograms) in weight. Despite his fragile physical condition, brainwashing centre officials refused to release him.

Forty-seven-year-old Mr. Yu is from Daliba Village of Songyuan City in Jilin Province and worked as a manager in Dalian for a Beijing insulation materials company. Agents from the Zhongchang Police Station in the Jinzhou District of Dalian City, as well as domestic security division officials, arrested him on June 29th, 2011. After being mistreated at the Sanli Detention Centre in the Jinzhou District for about 100 days, he was sent to the Luotaishan Village Brainwashing Centre in Fushun on October 12th.

After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Gong over 10 years ago, Mr. Yu was arrested and sent to forced labour camps several times. He was arrested in Shenyang City on July 7th, 2001. Agents tortured him and sent him to the Dalian Labour Camp for a term of three years. As a result of mistreatment at the labour camp he was disabled, paralysed, and unable to take care of himself.

Mr. Yu was arrested once again by agents from the Wanli Police Station in Jinzhou District in August 2006. Because of mistreatment at the detention centre, he was paralysed from the waist down, and he was unable to walk. In spite of his disability, Xu Yungang in the Political Security Division of Jinzhou Police Department sentenced him to two years of forced labour without following any legal procedures. Mr. Yu was carried to the Dalian Labour Camp on a stretcher. Dalian Labour Camp officials knew he did not meet the physical requirements of the labour camp and should be released, but nonetheless admitted him and kept him in solitary confinement.

Mr. Yu's 18-year-old daughter had enrolled in a university in Beijing earlier this year. After Mr. Yu was arrested, she could not afford the tuition, and had to drop out of college. She travelled from Jilin Province to ask for her father's release.

At this time, officials from the Jinzhou District Domestic Security Division, Political and Judicial Bureau, and Fushun Brainwashing Centre have refused to release Mr. Yu.
