(Clearwisdom.Net) In the middle of December 2004, the police arrested Falun Dafa practitioners Mr. Luo Yulin and Ms. Meng Qingwen, a couple from Dezhou City, Shandong Province and sent them to a forced labor camp. Their 10-year-old son Luo Daming has been deprived of his parents' care. Mr. Luo's mother is over 80 years old and her health condition is so serious that she is nearly comatose; his mother-in-law has heart disease. Both of them need to be taken care of. However, nobody is looking after Luo Daming or the elderly women.
Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Meng Qingwen is about 35 years old and works in a cow-raising plant on New Hubei Road in Dezhou City. Her husband Mr. Luo Yulin works in Dezhou City's Demian Group Knit Goods Mill.
On December 15, 2004, officers from the Jianshe Police Station affiliated with the Decheng Police Branch Department illegally arrested Ms. Meng while she was distributing truth-clarifying materials. The Jianshe Police Station and the Dezhou Development District Police Station plotted together to ransack her home with two truckloads of police guards. Around seven o'clock that night, Mr. Luo and his son were having dinner together. When Mr. Luo didn't open the door, the guards forcibly broke in without showing any legal documents. They illegally searched his home and took his Dafa books and some truth-clarifying materials. They arrested Mr. Luo, and took him to the Dezhou City Detention Center, leaving his 10-year-old son crying loudly in the yard alone.
The next day, they went to search Luo Yulin's workplace. They found an open letter that Mr. Luo had addressed to his work leaders. In the letter, Mr. Luo disclosed that in 2001 the mill directors set up a private tribunal and detained Mr. Luo for two months. It also included facts about how these leaders cooperated with the police and sentenced Mr. Luo to three years of forced labor. Mr. Luo had recently gotten out of the Wangcun Labor Camp after he had been held there for about a year.
On the third day, December 18, the Decheng police branch gave approval to detain Mr. Luo. The detention approval did not have anyone's signature, nor did it specify a detention period. The reason given was "interfering with the social order and influencing the execution of the law." Over 20 people from the Decheng police branch ransacked Mr. Luo's home for a second time on December 21. Village leaders helped them to get in. After Ms. Meng Qingwen had been detained for 10 days, the Decheng District police branch sent Ms. Meng and Mr. Luo to a forced labor camp again. Ms. Meng was sent to Jinan Women's Labor Camp for two years and Mr. Luo was sent to the Wangcun Men's Labor Camp.
When he was examined on the way to the Wangcun Labor Camp, Mr. Luo was found to have three different diseases (including kidney problems) and his health did not meet the acceptable requirement of the labor camp. The labor camp guards took advantage of this and extorted money from the four people who escorted Mr. Luo to the camp. There were two from his workplace and two police guards from the Decheng branch. They were asked to pay 1,000 yuan if they really wanted to detain Mr. Luo in the labor camp. The four of them put together 1,000 yuan and gave it to the labor camp guards. Just like that, though he was in very bad health, Mr. Luo was illegally placed in the labor camp.
Ms. Meng's labor camp notice didn't have her and her husband's signature. It only had a fingerprint of her mother-in-law, who is already 84 years old and has mental problems; she can neither speak clearly nor take care of herself. Two police guards broke into Mr. Luo's parents' home, grabbed Mr. Luo's mother's hand, pressed a finger on Ms. Meng's labor camp notice, and thus completed their so-called legal procedure.
Ms. Meng and Mr. Luo's workplaces helped with the police persecution. The boss of the cow-raising plant where Ms. Meng worked is around 26 to 27 years old, and was transferred from an armed police troop in Beijing. In 2000 and 2001 he had participated multiple times in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners who were appealing peacefully on Tiananmen Square. It was he who set up an undercover agent to contact Ms. Meng to learn the truth and watch a truth-clarifying CD in her home. Three days later, Ms. Meng was followed, arrested, and her home was ransacked.
Mr. Luo's workplace also cooperated with the police multiple times to detain him and send him to a forced labor camp for three years. They also sent another male practitioner who is in his 30s to a labor camp.
In 2001, Ms. Meng was sentenced to one year at a labor camp. Her husband Mr. Luo was sentenced to three years of labor while detained in the Wangcun Labor Camp. At that time, their child Luo Daming was only six years old. Now the child is ten years old and goes to Dezhou Tianqu East Road Elementary School. Both of his parents are in jail, and young Luo Daming once again misses their love.
Ms. Meng's parents are both over 70 years old. Her mother has heart disease and needs someone to take care of her. Mr. Luo's parents are both over 80. His mother has mental problems and is nearly comatose. She also needs care. These elderly grandparents cannot even take care of themselves, so who will raise Luo Daming? Vicious people have persecuted good people who believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and have put this family in this difficult situation.
