(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Ma Guilin, 65 years old, was the former director
of the Socialism Institute of Shandong Province. He used to suffer from lymph
cancer. After taking up the practice of Falun Gong, he soon recovered and became
very healthy. Since July 20, 1999, the local police station, street office, and
other agencies had been harassing him, not allowing him to practice Falun Gong
or tell the truth about the persecution publicly. At one time they sent Ma to
illegal detention, forced him to go through brainwashing, and suspended his
pension and employee benefits.
On September 30, 2002, Zhou Defa, head of "610 Office," led dozens
of police and arrived at Ma's home in 5 police cars. They attempted to take him
away for brainwashing. Their attempts lasted from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Because of
the force police used, Ma's arms were paralyzed at the scene, and he could not
move them at all. The violence of the police aroused indignation among the
onlookers. Afterwards, Ma became mentally disabled and had to be bedridden. He
passed away in March 2003.
