(Clearwisdom.net) During the National Day holiday, Falun
Dafa practitioner Meng Lijun from Zhangqiu City was "illegally
arrested" from his home by the police. Another Falun Dafa practitioner,
surname Wang, was also arrested at the same time. They took away all the cash he
had at home and all his belongings such as a computer, motorcycle, clothes and
kitchen utensils.
Meng Lijun has a 70-year old mother and two underage
children. She had been arrested by the police eight times before, since the
persecution began on July 20, 1999. With difficulty, her husband has been
raising their two children alone.
Meng Lijun was illegally sentenced to a three-year forced
labor in 2001. After being tortured for over 40 days, Meng Lijun was on the
verge of death. The police was afraid of taking responsibility and told her
family members to take her home. Meng Lijun was forced to live in exile in order
to avoid severe persecution.
In December 2004, Meng Lijun's place was illegally ransacked
by the police from Tianqiao District, Jinan City. She was detained in
Liuchangshan Detention Center. She protested against the persecution by going on
a hunger strike. The police injected her with some unknown drugs. When she was
about to die, they released her for medical treatment. After her family took her
home, they continued to monitor her. She was in danger of being arrested at any
time. With no other choice, Meng Lijun had to live in exile again.
During the National Day holiday this year, Meng Lijun was
arrested by the police the ninth time when the persecution of Falun Dafa
practitioners was intensified in the area again. At present, she is suffering
severe persecution.
