38 Practitioners Illegally Detained After Appeal in Langfang City, Hebei Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Thirty-eight Falun Dafa practitioners from Dachang
County, Langfang City, Hebei Province, were illegally detained after
appealing for the release of fellow practitioners. Mr. Li Dejun and Ms. Liu
Shuying's two daughters ages 12 and 15 are detained in the Dachang County
Detention Center. To protest this illegal persecution, several practitioners
began a hunger strike February 5, 2006. The Dachang County Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) held an
urgent meeting and decided to further increase secret surveillance of all local
Falun Dafa practitioners, to prevent further appeals. The Committee declared it
would punish the 38 practitioners already held in detention. On February 5, 2006, Ms. Liu Shuying, Mr. Gao Tiansong, and Mr. Li Changhong
were among a group of 50 people from Dachang County, Hebei Province, detained by
the Xianghe County Police. These practitioners appealed for the release of Mr.
Wang Shaoqiu from Langfang City and Mr. Li Dejun, Ms. Liu Shuying's husband.
They were detained before the Chinese New Year by Xianghe County Police. 38 practitioners were arrested and transferred to the Dachang County
Detention Center and their homes were searched without a warrant. In the detention center, practitioners were brutally assaulted to the extent
that some nearly had their teeth knocked out. One practitioner was stripped of
his winter clothing, tied to a wall, and forced to endure the harsh winter night
with all the windows open. Mr. Li Dejun and Ms. Liu Shuying's two adolescent
daughters are still detained in Dachang County Detention Center. Mr. Li Dejun, aged 44, of Ximazhuang Village, Dachang Township, and his wife,
Ms. Liu Shuying, previously ran a small business to support their two young
daughters and a 70-year-old mother. Since July 20, 1999, the couple have
experienced illegal detention and forced labor many times. Their home was
illegally ransacked and their life earnings confiscated by the police. Their two
young daughters are forced to find work just to maintain a living. Witnessing
this unjust persecution of her family members over the years, Mr. Li Dejun's
mother is both physically and mentally devastated. Wanglangfang Region, Dachang, and Xianghe County practitioners have been
sending forth righteous thoughts every night at 8, 9, and 10 p.m. to clear out
the evil interference in other dimensions. They also clarify the
truth to the authorities. The hope is that people from Mainland China and
overseas will give this matter their close attention so that this unjust
persecution may be stopped as soon as possible. Dachang County, Hebei Province, Postcode 065300 Posting date: 3/6/2006
