(Clearwisdom.net) On January 6, 2011, a Duyun City Court judge in Guizhou Province went to Qiannanzhou Detention Center and sentenced Falun Gong practitioner Liang Rongqi to six years of imprisonment. Mr. Liang's family members came to the detention center to see him, but they were not allowed in. The court did not give the verdict to his family members. Mr. Liang appealed to the Qiannanzhou Intermediate Court.

Liang Rongqi was formerly employed with the Duyun Transportation Company in Guizhou Province. After starting to practice Falun Dafa in 1995, he benefited both physically and mentally. In July 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute Falun Dafa. On January 1, 2001, Mr. Liang and his mother (also a practitioner) went to Tiananmen Square in Beijing to clarify the facts about Falun Gong and appeal for justice. After they were arrested and taken back to Duyun, his mother was sentenced to five years of imprisonment in Yangai Prison, and Mr. Liang was sent to the Zhongba Forced Labor Camp for three years. After his term ended, he went back to his job and was told by his supervisor that he had been fired because he practiced Falun Gong.

For a long time, his family was often harassed and monitored. On May 27, 2010, under the direction of the Duyun City Political and Judiciary Committee and the local 610 Office, led by deputy director of the Police Bureau Zhou Shiqun, dozens of police from the National Security Brigade from the Duyun Police Bureau, and Mao Guozhi, head of Yushan Police Station in Weng'an County, monitored and followed Mr. Liang in his neighborhood. They illegally arrested him and ransacked his home until around 6:00 p.m. They confiscated his computer, printer, cash, a bank certificate, Falun Dafa books and materials, and other valuables.

Officers from the National Security Brigade at the City Police Bureau took away the key to Mr. Liang's home. Police officers took turns staying at his home and kept his family members from entering. Ten days after the police starting staying and eating at Mr. Liang's home, his home was ransacked again, this time with no family members present. The perpetrators left without notifying his family, nor did they return the key.

After Mr. Liang was arrested, his wife was also listed as being wanted by the police, but her current whereabouts are unknown. Meanwhile, his wife's aunt was also monitored, and the police broke into her house and searched it room by room. Police also threatened Mr. Liang's two-year-old daughter and asked about the whereabouts of her mother. The police installed a monitor at the entrance of their residential building so that the family could be monitored around the clock. Even when his aunt took her granddaughter out to buy food, they were still followed.
