Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Kangping County, Liaoning Province

By Zhengxin

(Clearwisdom.net) In August 2003, under the instruction of Yang Xiantao, the chief of the Zhenbei local police station in Kangping County, some policemen posted vicious slogans slandering Falun Gong and Master Li on the walls of a gas station and on walls and telephone poles across from the Chinese Medicine Hospital. The policemen waited nearby to capture Falun Gong practitioners.

For a few days after the police posted the slanderous slogans, practitioners came and removed them and then wrote "Falun Dafa is good." Dafa practitioners Qi Li'ke and Yang Ping were arrested while they were cleaning the slogans. Yang Ping was captured at 4:00 p.m. Five to six policemen kicked and beat Yang Ping in full view of the public. The surrounding witnesses angrily exclaimed, "You are hoodlums, you only go after good people!"

Qi Li'ke and Yang Ping were sentenced to 2 years reeducation through forced labor. They are currently being detained in the Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City. The arrest was conducted in order to fill a quota set by higher authorities pertaining the to arrest of Falun Dafa practitioners.

An incomplete list of the Falun Gong practitioners of Kangping County who are still being illegally detained for not giving up the practice include: Sun Fengxin, Li Manxin, Meng Yuhua, Shao Dawei, Qi Xiangru, Wang Haizhou, Wang Junzhou, Qi Li'ke, Yang Ping, Yang Guohong, Zhou Hongwei, Yang Huiying, Liu Shuying, and Jiang Xiufang.

Most of them have been brutally tortured many times and detained longer than their specified terms. They also have families, children, and jobs. They are being persecuted only because they live their lives according the the principle of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," and strive to be good people.

The personnel of the "610 Office"* in Kangping County who persecute Falun Gong practitioners include: Li Jun, Li Xingwen, Wang Yanhui, Li Xiaoguang, Li Mi, Zhang Xiangning. The direct perpetrators are Li Mi and Zhang Xiangning, who formerly worked in the Political Security Section of the County Public and Security Bureau.

On the second day of the 2001 Chinese New Year, the former political instructor of Kangping County's Zhenbei local police station, Yan Xueyi (he has since been transferred to Haizhou Village), and another policeman came to practitioner Chen Yuchun's home in a white Jeep. They claimed the chief wanted to find out some information from him, and that once finished he could return home. After Chen Yuchun arrived at the local police station, he saw Falun Gong practitioners Liu Shuxing and Liu Yuemei who had already been detained in the duty office. After a while, this tall policeman came downstairs and said: "Chief Jiang is not coming. I was asked to send you to study at the Public Security Bureau for two days." At that time, the three of them realized they had been deceived. Chen Yuchun was able to leave using his righteous thoughts before being sent to the Public Security Bureau.

On the same day, more than ten Falun Gong practitioners were deceived into going to the Public Security Bureau. They include practitioners, Chen Yuhua, Gao Jie, Wang Yansong, Cao Liming, Qi Jingru, Yang Jingjie, and Jiang Xiufang.

During the 2001 Chinese New Year, Ren Xiyang, the former area policeman, and Vice Chief Li of the Zhenbei local police station went to Chen Yuchun's home to forcibly take the fingerprints of both his hands and make him write a statement against his will to renounce his belief in Dafa. In the beginning, they said they were only following the orders from their superior and they had to obey, but if a Falun Gong practitioner paid them money they would listen to the practitioner. When Chen Yuchun refused their attempt to extort money from him and told them Falun Gong teaches people to be good, the corrupt police revealed their true nature and said, "Will you print your fingerprints? If not, then you will have to go with us. You will be required to do it at the police station." Upon saying that, the two policemen forcibly pulled and dragged Chen Yuchun. Chen's two daughters were frightened by the sudden scene. They cried and shouted, "Don't arrest my dad!" Eventually, Ren Xiyang grabbed Chen Yuchun's hands and forcible took his fingerprints. It was already 10:00 p.m. After they left, the children asked, "Are they policemen?"

* "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
