Practitioners from Linhai City, Liaoning Province Illegally Sent to Labor Camps or Sentenced to Jail July 1, 2002
(Clearwisdom.net) Wang Shuzhong, the mayor of Linhai City, was criticized by the State Public
Security Bureau and the Liaoning Provincial Government regarding the numerous
practitioners from his city who had traveled to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa
during the Chinese New Year 2000. Wang almost lost his post as mayor. To protect
himself, Wang instructed various city agencies to torment practitioners in
whatever way they chose. He openly told the local police, "You may beat the
Falun Gong practitioners that you have arrested as much as possible, as long as
they keep breathing." Following the mayor's instructions, the police ruthlessly
tortured practitioners who had appealed in Beijing. Some of the practitioners
were severely beaten to the point of unconsciousness. The police then poured
cold water on the unconscious practitioners to wake them and subsequently
brutalized them again. Additionally, police extorted huge sums of money from practitioners, causing
them serious financial hardships. Wang Shuzhong directed many companies to
dismiss the practitioners who had appealed in Beijing. Next, he illegally sent
them to forced-labor camps. Some practitioners were sentenced to jail. In March
through mid-May, when practitioners had allegedly broadcasted
truth-clarification footage by overriding Changchun cable television signals, 47
Falun Dafa practitioners were illegally arrested in Linhai. Since July 1999, approximately 60 practitioners have been sent to labor
camps. Comparatively, this is a high number for a small town such as Linhai. The following are lists of many of the practitioners who have been illegally
detained in labor camps or sentenced to jail: Sent to Labor Camps: Name Term (years) Gender Age Occupation 3 female 51 1 male 53 2 female 49 2 male 50 3 male 51 3 female 47 3 female 49 2 female 48 2 female 56 2 female 53 1 female 42 1 female 42 1 female 48 1 female 52 1 female 30 1.5 female 22 1.5 female 18 1 female 55 1 female 33 1 male 71 2 male 36 1 male 48 2 male 30 2 male 28 2 male 30 2 male 53 1 male 58 Sentenced to Jail: Name Term (years) Gender Age Other information unknown female 51 unknown female 50 trial delayed due to illness male ?
