Present Situation of Shi Bo, Son of Practitioner Ms. Qu Junli, Who Was Tortured to Death
(Clearwisdom.net) Shi Bo was born in July 1995 and is currently in the
third grade. His mother, practitioner Ms. Qu Junli from Jilin City, Jilin
Province, was tortured to death for her rightful persistence in practicing Falun
Gong. After his mother's death, he was frequently beaten by his father. This was
especially so after his father re-married, and his father and his new wife had a
baby girl: the couple frequently and brutally beat Shi Bo. When his father was
not at home, his stepmother would often slap his face until it was swollen. One
night around 9:00 p.m., after being beaten by his stepmother, Shi Bo secretly
called his grandparents who later came to take him away. His grandparents are
very old and his grandmother does not receive a retirement pension, so they all
depend on his grandfather's small retirement pension. His grandfather is in poor
health and suffers from heart disease. Shi Bo frequently reads the teachings of
Falun Gong outlined in Zhuan Falun and is very diligent, but his
grandparents bear heavy mental burdens. Shi Bo's mother Ms. Qu Junli was 28 years old when she was tortured to death.
At that time she was a laid off worker from the Xiguan Thermal Power Plant,
Chuanying District, Jilin City. In October 2000, she went to Tiananmen Square to
peacefully and lawfully appeal for an end to the persecution against Falun Gong.
Tiananmen Square police arrested her, although she later escaped. On December
3rd, 2000, she once again went to Beijing to appeal and was again arrested by
the police. On December 16, 2000, the Beijing authorities tortured her to death
because she would not renounce her beliefs. Her family member retrieved her
ashes from Beijing. Posting date: 12/10/2004 |
