Ms. Meng Lijun from Zhangqiu City in Shandong Province Illegally Arrested Nine Times

(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.
