Ms. Liu Guimei Suffers Years of Persecution
(Clearwisdom.net) The following is a shortened version of a longer and
more detailed article that appeared on the Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net. Ms. Liu Guimei, 45, resided in Tiecheng Village, Mengyin Township, Mengyin
County, Shandong Province. Since the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners
started on July 20, 1999, she was harassed numerous times by local officials,
including Jiao Yuxiang, a former propaganda officer in Jushan Town; Jiang
Liangjun, deputy Communist Party secretary of Jushan Town; Li Zongtang, former
police chief of the Jushan Police Station; Wang Yeyi, former deputy police chief
of the Jushan Police Station; and policeman Qiu Ming. On February 11, 2000, Ms. Liu Guimei was illegally arrested and
held at the Jushan Police Station for a day. In late February, authorities
extorted 3,000 yuan from her. In order to avoid further persecution,
she was forced into homelessness for four months. On March 4, 2001, Ms. Liu was arrested by over a dozen people, including Gong
Pibao, a former Communist Party secretary of the Mengyin Township Political and
Judicial Committee, Wang Zhijun, Zhang Xianqiang, and Zhang Zhihu. She was sent
to a brainwashing center in Chapeng and was held there for more than a month. In 2002, local officials in Mengyin Township tried to arrest her again. Ms.
Liu Guimei managed to escape, but she was forced into homelessness again. Her
home was illegally searched. On February 29, 2003, Liu Guimei was arrested in Xintai and was later held at
the Changlu Police Station. She was then taken to a brainwashing center operated by the county 610
Office. She held a hunger strike to protest the persecution. The head of
the 610 Office, Lei Yancheng, and staff from Mengyin County Chinese Medical
Hospital brutally force-fed her through her nose. They added drugs to her food
and injected her with more drugs. After the force-feeding, Liu Guimei had severe
stomach pain, and she could not lie down or sit up. In March 2003, Ms. Liu Guimen was sentenced by the county 610 Office to three
years of forced labor. She was sent to the First Women's Forced Labor Camp in
Shandong Province, where she was subjected to brutal mental and physical
tortures. Despite all that she was forced to endure, she remained steadfast in
her belief in Falun Dafa.
