12. [Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Liu Liqun Is Arrested

Mr. Liu Liqun, about 30 years old, from the Huawen Residential Area, Shijiazhuang City was forced to become homeless to avoid being arrested and persecuted. On the morning of November 11, Mr. Liu Liqun was arrested on his way to work. It is rumored that he is now detained at the Xingtai City No. One Detention Center.

At the beginning of 2004, his rented house was surrounded by the police from the Yuhua Police Department, Shijiazhuang City. To avoid arrest he climbed down from the third floor and lost his balance. As a result, he broke his legs and feet. The police only gave him a very brief treatment and then detained him at the Yuhua Police Department for more than 20 days. The police did not inform his family about his injury, which delayed treatment. Instead, the police tried to force Mr. Liu to give a confession. After being released, Mr. Liu was immobilized and bedridden. However, the Yuhua Police Department still sent policemen from the Sunjia Police Station to keep surveillance on his house daily. This caused great psychological pressure to his family. On November 11 when the policemen found that Mr. Liu had recovered, they arrested him again.

13. [Xichang City, Sichuan Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Ms. Lu Yuancui, Ms. Guo Hongping and Ms. Wang Xiaofang Are Sentenced to Forced Labor by the 610 Office

In October 2004, Luo Yi, Qie Jun and others from the National Security Division of Xichang City arrested Ms. Lu Yuancui and Ms. Guo Hongping. In November, the 610 Office sentenced them to forced labor. Ms. Lu Yuancui was sentenced to one year and three months and Ms. Guo Hongping to two years.

In November, Ms. Wang Xiaofang of No. 410 Factory was tricked into meeting with the City National Security Division, and she was then arrested.

14. [Longjiang County, Heilongjiang Province] The Longjiang County Police Force Yu Jinghe and Yin Bingqin to Move Out of Their Rented House

Dafa practitioners Yu Jinghe and Yin Bingqin, husband and wife, from Longjiang County, Heilongjiang Province were arrested on November 22 by the local 610 Office and the Tongda Police Station. They were taken to a detention center where both went on a hunger strike in protest of their unlawful detention. When their lives were in danger, the police were afraid to take responsibility. They released the couple five days after they were arrested.

Now the head of the Tongda Police Station, Chen Yechun, the Political Instructor Xu Bin and policeman Qiu Li forced their landlord to evict Yu Jinghe and Yin Bingqin from their rented house with only one week's notice. It should be noted that the weather in Northeast China is extremely cold at this time and both practitioners are not in good health. This will put them in a very difficult situation. This act of driving people who have legal residence out of their homes seriously violates their basic rights, including the right of residence.

It was disclosed by staff at the taxation office that Ye Xiaohong has been suspended from her duties for clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa. She was forcibly taken to a brainwashing center.

Mr. Ling had to go on a job hunt. In 2002, he returned to Xiangtan and taught at Peiying High School (a private school). He clarified the truth about Falun Gong in class and one of the students told his parents. They reported him to the Yuntang Police, who went to the school to investigate the matter. Under pressure from the City 610 Office, as well as the City and Provincial Education Commission (if the school did not follow their instructions it might lose its high standing in education circles and would be publicly criticized.), the school turned in Mr. Ling and two other teachers (new practitioners). Now the Xiangtan City Procuratorate is preparing to sentence these three practitioners.

His term was extended for another ten months because he refused to renounce Falun Gong. In the forced labor camp Mr. Lu suffered under different torture methods. After he was released from the forced labor camp with righteous thoughts, Mr. Lu returned to Shanghai. The local 610 Office, the neighborhood committee and some other organizations harassed him and his family. On November 28, 2004 Mr. Lu was arrested again while handing out truth-clarification CDs at Gaojing Village, Baoshan District, Shanghai. His current whereabouts are unknown.
