2. Vicious people persecute two practitioners in their 70s

Practitioners Liu Xiulan and Zhen Yanbin began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, they went to Beijing to appeal in November 1999, but were unlawfully detained. From 2000 to late 2001, perpetrators abducted Liu Xiulan and Zhen Yanbin at total five times from their work units, and they were sent to a brainwashing class at a detention center. After Liu Xiulan was released from the detention center, the perpetrators set up a secret detention room at the work unit hotel, where they held Liu Xiulan for 53 days, in violation of the Chinese Constitution. They had people watch her around the clock and put her through physical and mental torture. They even deducted the rent for the detention room and the salary for the persecutors from Liu Xiulan's pension. They refused to release Ms. Liu during the Chinese New Year, and only released her on January 15, 2002 [Chinese lunar calendar].

5. Crimes of perpetrators from the Wennan Town 610 Office and the police in Xintai City, Shandong Province

Early in the morning on July 21, 2002, a group of perpetrators led by Liu Jun, the head of Wennan Town's 610 Office and the Wennan Town Police Department in Xintai City, Shandong Province, abducted Dafa practitioner Cao Bingfang from home and sent her to the Wangcun Labor Camp in Zibo to be brainwashed. On the evening of May 1, 2004, the perpetrators ordered practitioner Ms. Qi Jianying and Mr. Zhao Leyou to open her door, and then they searched the practitioners and abducted them. They sent the practitioners to the Changlu Town Police Station and transferred them to the Mengyin County Detention Center the next day. The perpetrators beat and kicked the practitioners and stomped on their legs with hard boots. They fabricated charges against the practitioners and sent them to the Xintai City 610 Office.

They later released the practitioners. However, on July 3, 2004 [Chinese lunar calendar], the perpetrators again went to the two practitioners' homes to abduct them. Qi Jianying was not home and Zhao Leyou escaped with the power of righteous thoughts. The perpetrators tricked Zhao Leyou's younger brother Zhao Lezeng into going to the village office and sent him to the Xintai City Detention Center to torture him.

Zhao Lezeng was in a coma for a long time because of the brutal torture, and Zhao Leyou was forced to leave home to avoid abduction. Early in the morning on December 15, 2004, Zhao Leyou was intercepted by perpetrators from the 610 Office and was sent to Xintai City Detention Center to be tortured. Twenty-five days later, he was transferred to Wangcun Labor Camp in Zibo City to be brainwashed. He was tortured until his whole body became swollen and he had difficulty breathing. He is still very weak, even now.
