(Clearwisdom.net) (correspondent from Hebei Province) Mr. Liu Erzeng, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Pingshan County, Hebei Province, was illegally arrested, detained, and tortured on multiple occasions. When Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp officials refused to admit Mr. Liu, Xiao Suilong, an officer from the Pingshan County Police Station forced the camp to take him. Mr. Liu was released from the labor camp after he became extremely weak, and he died four months later.

Mr. Liu Erzeng was from the Zhongbailou Village, Chengguan Township, Pingshan County. He started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. After becoming a practitioner, he stopped gambling, tried to be a good person, and lived according to the requirements of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance. After Jiang Zemin's regime began persecuting Falun Gong in July 1999, Mr. Liu and a fellow practitioner traveled to Beijing to appeal. He was stopped and detained by policemen at Gaobeidian, then forced to spend the night on the cement floor of the police station. The next day, officer Xiao Suilong of the Pingshan County Police Station took Mr. Liu back home in handcuffs. Xiao Suilong and Feng Qingfang (chief of political security) confiscated and kept several hundred yuan belonging to Mr. Liu. They demanded another 300 yuan (without providing a receipt) from Mr. Liu's family members before releasing him.

On February 15, 2000, Mr. Liu and another practitioner went to Beijing to appeal again, and were arrested by policemen at Tiananmen Square. They were held in an iron cage at the Tiananmen Police Station, and that evening, they were forced inside the trunk of a police car and taken to the Hebei Provincial office in Beijing. They were handcuffed to a heating unit until about 3:00 a.m.; then Xiao Suilong took them back and handcuffed them to stair rails.

The following morning, Wang Genting (then vice director of the Pingshan County Police Station), came in and slapped Mr. Liu on the face several times. Wang said fiercely: "You are a leader!" and dragged Mr. Liu inside. A group of policemen led by Wang Genting and Feng Qingfang beat Mr. Liu. In the evening Mr. Liu was taken to the detention center and held for 30 days. Feng Qingfang extorted 5,000 yuan (without receipt) from Mr. Liu's family members before releasing him.

In June 2001, Mr. Liu was visiting a practitioner in Dawu County, when he was arrested by local officials led by Lu Sufang, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) secretary of the local Political and Judiciary Committee. Lu took Mr. Liu's motorbike and kept it as his own. Mr. Liu was detained at the Chengguan Police Station for a month, then transferred to the Pingshan County 610 office brainwashing center. He was not released until August 16.

On August 26, only 10 days after Mr. Liu's release, Xiao Suilong came to Mr. Liu' home. Xiao lied to Mr. Liu and his family, saying that Mr. Liu was wanted for some questioning and that he would be allowed to return home soon. Xiao then took Mr. Liu directly to a brainwashing center at the Metal Magnesium Factory. Two days later, Xiao took Mr. Liu to the Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp without going through any legal procedures, but the labor camp officials refused to take Mr. Liu without proper documentation.

Xiao Suilong repeated his request that the labor camp take Mr. Liu, and used his own ID as a deposit. The labor camp then took Mr. Liu and held him.

Mr. Liu suffered such severe persecution in the labor camp that he became extremely weak and developed symptoms of severe tuberculosis. The labor camp officials were afraid of being held responsible, so on April 15, 2002, they notified Mr. Liu's family to take him home. Mr. Liu passed away on September 10, 2002. He was only 40 years old.
