By a Dafa Practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioners Ji Xiuling, Li Xia and Yu Airong of Jiaozhou City, Shandong Province, each received a four-year sentence from the thugs in Jiaozhou City between December 2002 and March 2003.

Ji Xiuling, female, 43-year-old, is a native of Dongdianzi Village, Nanguan Town in Jiaozhou City. In June 2002, Ji Xiuling and fellow practitioner Li Xia were arrested by police from Nanguan Town police station and the "610 Office."* They were locked up in a steel cage for several days. After that, Li Xia was escorted back to her hometown by local police. Ji Xiuling was interrogated for several more days before being taken to Zhangjiatun Brainwashing Center in Jiaozhou City for further persecution. As soon as she walked into the brainwashing center, the police beat her violently, resulting in a broken leg. To protest the illegal and cruel treatment, Ji Xiuling started a hunger strike. Her peaceful and righteous action did not stop police atrocity. They even intensified their brutality by force-feeding her with alcohol [Dafa practitioners do not drink or smoke] and a group of policemen together beat her up. Ji Xiuling refused to yield to the evil force and was sentenced to four years in prison at the end of 2002 in a secret trial.

Li Xia, female, 33-year-old, is a native of Haojiazhuang Village, Ducun Town in South of Jiaozhou City. Police from Ducun Town police station forced her into Zhangjiatun Brainwashing Center. Li Xia was detained for six months in the brainwashing center. In February 2003 she was transferred to the Dashan Detention Center in Qingdao City for a month before being sentenced to four years in jail during a secret trial.

Yu Airong, female, 45-year-old, is a native of Dakuaijiagou Village, Ducun Town in the South of Jiaozhou City. In the winter of 2002, police broke into her house and arrested her. They sent her to Zhangjiatun Brainwashing Center. Because she refused to give up her faith in Dafa, the "610 Office" police sent her to the Dashan Detention Center. A month later, she received a four-year sentence in jail during a secret trial.
