Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Guo Lirong in Critical Condition Resulting from Long-term Persecution
(Clearwidsom.net) Shortly after 10:00 a.m. on March 1, 2006, soon after
Ms. Guo Lirong had left her home, four policemen from the Chenghua District went
to Ms. Guo's home, intending to arrest her. Unable to find her, the policemen
then went to Ms. Guo's parents' home many times to harass them. A police car
waited outside of Ms. Guo's home until after 9:00 p.m. Policemen also followed
her sister. These events terrified her 80-year-old bedridden parents. Ms. Guo Lirong is a Falun Dafa practitioner. Because she remained steadfast
in her beliefs, she was illegally fired by her employer, Chengdu Qianfeng
Calorifier Factory. She was then unlawfully detained and tortured, and is now in
critical condition. On the afternoon of February 14, 2001, police officers illegally
arrested Ms. Guo from her place of work by force. After Ms. Guo walked out
of the police station, she could not go back home due to the threat of arrest.
On October 7th, Ms. Guo went to a temple to clarify the
truth of the persecution with monks, who reported her to authorities. She
was sentenced to one year in a forced labor camp, and her family was not
notified. When Ms. Guo was sent home on March 19, 2003, she was very thin and
could not walk. On September 1, 2005, the Chengdu Chenghua District Qinglu Police Station and
the 610 Office arrested Ms. Guo from her home and sent her to
Chenghua District Brainwashing Center. When Ms. Guo was released on September 7,
she was barely alive. When Ms. Guo, her son, and a few fellow practitioners went to the park on May
20, they were detained at a detention center under the charge of "holding
an illegal gathering." The police station released them only after
extorting 5,000 yuan from them. On June 30 of the same year, Ms. Guo
was again forcibly arrested and detained at a police station late that night
(the police were afraid that Ms. Guo would go to Beijing to appeal for justice
for Falun Gong). Without any other choice, Ms. Guo went to Beijing to appeal on
July 7, and she was sent back to the Chengdu Detention Center. The police
station's and her employer's expenses from going to Beijing to search for her
was close to 8,000 yuan, which was taken from her monthly pay. In addition, her
salary was decreased. After Ms. Guo Lirong was illegally terminated by the Chengdu Qianfeng
Corporation, she did not have any income for five years. Her family now relies
on her husband's small income to support their son's high school tuition. In
addition, Ms. Guo has to take care of her elderly parents. From December 2005 to
late February 2006, Ms. Guo had gone to the Chengdu Qianfeng Corporation many
times to ask for her position back. However, her request is still not settled. We are warning those that are still persecuting Dafa practitioners, that the
consequences are severe for those who continue to persecute innocent people. I
hope that more people will read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist
Party, and that this cruel persecution will end soon. March 11, 2006 |
