Police Torture Non-Practitioner Relative of Dafa Practitioner in Jianping County

On October 15, 2002, a practitioner's family member Mr. Chen, who is over fifty years old, and a non-practitioner, was kidnapped to the county detention centre. The police tortured him by hanging him up by handcuffs and then beating him. Chen is currently detained in the First Criminal Detention Centre. A source in Public Security said that some people planned to sentence Chen to thirteen years in prison. His case was delivered to the Chaoyang Intermediate People's Court and is waiting for the court's decision.

On October 16, 2002, police kidnapped practitioners Mr Li Hailin ( 46 to 47 years old, a former assistant at the local Falun Gong assistance centre) and his wife Xu Shuhua (45) while they were on the way to pass out Dafa materials. The couple was very firm in their belief of Dafa and protested the persecution. Li Linhai was hung up and beaten. He was cuffed to the heater, not allowed to sleep and closely monitored around the clock.

To avoid being arrested by the police, the couple have not been at their home since March 2002. It is said that the police confiscated many copies of Zhuan Falun [the main book of Falun Gong]. The police also took away their two computers. While in the detention centre, both of them kept Teacher's words in their hearts and continued to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to the police. The detention centre delivered their cases to the Chaoyang City Intermediate People's Court and recommended to sentence Li Linhai to the outrageous terms of thirteen years in prison and Xu Shuhua to six years.
