Falun Gong Practitioners in Sanhe City, Hebei Province Are Severely Persecuted October 2, 2002 (Clearwisdom.net) Lu Chunyang, 40 years old, was the office director of the Trade Bureau of
Sanhe City, Hebei Province. His wife, Li Yonglian, was a teacher in the Fourth
Elementary School in Sanhe City. The couple was fired from their workplaces in
2000 because they practiced Falun Gong. They immediately lost their income, and
were forced to abandon their home to avoid further persecution. Their teenage
daughter had to stay with her grandmother. On the morning of September 25, 2002, Lu Shunyang went to his hometown in a
rural area and was kidnapped by the police of Beicheng Police Station, who were
waiting for him for days. Seven to eight policemen beat him up terribly. He was
so severely wounded that the policemen had to send him to the hospital for
emergency treatment. Both barefoot and bare from his waist up, the policemen
threw him in a police car after a rough and quick medical treatment, which cost
more than 600 Yuan [Average monthly income is about 500 Chinese Yuan per
person in urban areas and less than 190 Yuan in rural areas.]. He was driven
to an anti-Falun Gong brainwashing class in Langfang. Sources said that Lu
Chunyang went on a hunger strike. No further information on him is available. He Yafen, around 50 years old, was an accountant in the Sanhe Power Plant in
Hebei Province. She was fired because she practiced Falun Gong and had to stay
away from her home for more than one year to avoid further persecution. Recently
she returned home. In the early evening on September 28, 2002, while taking a
walk with her family, she was kidnapped by the police. Her whereabouts are
unknown. Liu Yong, female, is over 40 years old. She had been detained and persecuted
by the police many times. On one of those occasions, she was taken right off the
street by policemen. They took her, along with another two practitioners Zhang
Zhenqin and Zhang Hongxia, to a forced labor camp in Tangshan City, Hebei
Province. On September 29, she was kidnapped again. Her current whereabouts are
unknown. To the kindhearted people and international organizations, we call for your
help to stop Jiang regime's national terrorism against innocent citizens. All
practitioners, please send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate evil and free
the imprisoned practitioners. Posting date: 10/12/2002 |
