Handicapped Veteran, Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Bian Chunyou of Henan Province, Jailed for His Belief

(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Bian Chunyou is 49 years old and from Buoai County of Henan Province. He was badly injured during a war, leaving one of his legs and his feet handicapped. The government has certified him as a second-level handicapped veteran. After Mr. Bian started practicing Falun Gong, the local government stopped his veteran's pension. He has had to live on a small income from repairing TV sets.

In April 2005, Mr. Bian was arrested and imprisoned. While in prison, Mr. Bian's leg injury became worse. He suffered terrible pain, yet every day the police forced him to work long hours making paper boxes.

On August 24, 2005, the Buoai County Court "tried" Mr. Bian. During the "trial," Mr. Bian solemnly told everyone that Falun Dafa is good and that it is not wrong to practice "Truth, Compassion, Forbearance." He also announced firmly that he would continue to practice Falun Gong. The authorities have so far not dared to announce a sentence.

In 1999, Mr. Bian's wife, Ms. Li Xiangfeng, went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Dafa. Since then, the police have threatened, arrested and persecuted her and caused her to suffer from hemiplegia. On August 30, when Mr. Bian was in prison, Ms. Li accidentally spilled gasoline and caused a fire. She was severely burned and is in the hospital waiting for skin grafts. This makes the family's financial circumstances even worse. Other family members went to the court requesting Mr. Bian's release. No only did the police refuse the request, they did not even allow them to see Mr. Bian.
