Ms. Liang Xianglian and Ms. Zhou Meihua Sent to Yaojia Detention Center in Dalian City, Liaoning Province
By Zhou Jinhua, a practitioner in Japan
(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of March 20, 2007, officials at the Xiuyue Street Police
Station in the Zhongshan District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province sent Ms. Liang
Xianglian and Ms. Zhou Meihua to the Yaojia Criminal Detention Center. In order
to conceal their decision from the practitioners' families, the officers sent
Ms. Liang and Ms. Zhou away through the back door of the police station. The
Yaojia Detention Center is known for its cruelty in persecuting practitioners.
Ms. Liang and Ms. Zhou were followed and arrested by patrolling officers
dedicated to the suppression of Falun Gong practitioners. The two were posting
self-adhesive truth clarifying materials in the Xiuyue Street
residential area. One female and four male officers from the Xiuyue Street
Police Station searched Ms. Liang Xianglian's home and confiscated a personal
computer, some truth clarifying materials, an MP3 player, Falun Dafa cassette
tapes, and a cellular phone. Ms. Zhou Meihua is my younger sister. She started practicing Falun Gong in
1996. This is the fourth time she has been arrested. She had no fixed place to
stay, and her daughter, the only child she has, has not been able to attend
school. I am gravely concerned that Meihua has sustained severe mental and
physical abuse by hunger striking to protest unlawful persecution. Ms. Liang Xianglian was born in October 1949. She started practicing Falun
Gong in 1995. She was unlawfully held in the Dalian City Forced Labor Institute
from October 2000 to October 2003, undergoing extended torture and persecution.
Her husband also started practicing Falun Gong in 1995. He was held in the
Dalian City Forced Labor Camp from October 2000 to August 2002. He was tortured
to the extent that he could no longer take care of himself. He is almost blind. Dalian City Yaojia Criminal Detention Center: 86-411-86870728,
