(Clearwisdom.net) The local police inhumanely persecute Jiang Yuejun and his wife because they practice Falun Gong. Jiang Yuejun is a middle school teacher in Qingfeng County, Shulan City. The police arrested Mr Jiang on June 20, 2006, and brutally beat him. This caused a disability in one of his legs and he couldn't walk. He is still being detained at the moment.

Jiang Yuejun was contiuously sick as a child. Even as a young man in his twenties, he was unable to do even minor labor. In 1998 he had the good fortune to come across Falun Gong and started practicing. By reading the book Zhuan Falun and practicing the exercises, all of his diseases disappeared and he no longer needed to take any medication. Seeing his miraculous recovery and good health, and personally experiencing the beauty of Falun Dafa, his wife began practicing Falun Gong with him.

The couple lived their lives according to the principle of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." They worked hard, seeking no fame or rewards. They supported students who had financial difficulty. They gave extra classes to students on weekends. Sometimes the parents wanted to thank them by sending them some gifts, which they refused. On those occasions when their parents insisted on giving them gifts, they would buy something for them in return.

Such good people like these were detained and persecuted many times. Jiang Yuejun was sent to a labor camp. His wife was detained during her pregnancy. She gave birth to her son seven days after she was released. Their salaries were illegally deducted by more than thirty thousand yuan. The police harassed their family members repeatedly.

On June 20, 2006, officials from the Public Security Bureau in Shulan City and from the Police Sub-Station in Qingfeng County, broke into the couple's home and work unit. They took away three mobile phones, two MP3 players and several tape recorders, worth about 3,000 yuan.

The police tried to take away Jiang Yuejun's wife. Thier son cried and yelled: "Don't take my mother away!" The policemen replied viciously, "We can even drag her to the Public Security Bureau if she refuses to obey."

In these many years of persecution, eleven Falun Dafa practitioners from Shulan City alone have been persecuted to death. Among them were Kong Fanlong and Yu Shujin. The principal of the school where Jiang Yuejun's wife worked stepped out to prove that she was a good teacher; her principal was willing to be her guarantor. Only then was she released. At present she is on bail pending trial.

On June 20, the police lured Jiang Yuejun from his school and brutally beat him. As a result one of his legs was disabled. He was taken to the Public Security Bureau and then to the Custodial Station on June 22. During these two days that he has spent in the Public Security Bureau, there is no news of how the police have treated him. Why have his family members not been allowed to see him? Officials from the bureau are surely afraid at the prospect of their crimes being exposed.

The family hasn't heard any news of Jiang Yuejun yet. What is happening to him in the custodial station? Is his life in danger? We here appeal to all kind-hearted people to show your support to stop the persecution of Falun Gong.
