(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioners Mr. Qi Qingyuan and Ms. Liu Fengbo, a couple in Liaoyang, Liaoning Province, were arrested on June 13, 2006, by National Security officials from the Taizihe District of Liaoyang Province, and the police station in Xiaoqijia. They were illegally sentenced to five and three years respectively, by the Taizihe court in September 2006. Mr. Qi was taken to Shenyang City Dongling Prison and Ms. Liu to Liaoning Province Women's Prison. The treatment that Liu Fengbo was subjected to made her very ill. She is now very weak, and at night, the criminal inmates do not allow her to sleep. Qi Qingyuan is still in Shenyang Dongling Prison, and the prison officials have refused to allow his family to visit him.
Mr. Qi Qingyuan is 64 years old and a resident in Group 1, Xiaoqijia, the Taizihe District. He was in very poor health before beginning Falun Dafa practice. He suffered from severe hemorrhoids and sometimes he could not even sit or move. He was regularly struck by a serious illness every year and was bedridden for several days. His less serious ailments never stopped troubling him. The gastrointestinal disease that he suffered was also pretty severe. Additionally, he had a bad temper, and he and his wife often quarreled with each other. One month after he started practicing Falun Dafa, his face glowed, his body became light and all of his diseases disappeared. He looked several years younger than before, and his temper also improved!
Ms. Liu Fengbo, Qi Qingyuan's wife, is 56 years old. She was in very poor health before practicing Falun Dafa. She could not walk and was almost paralyzed. She had tried a variety of treatments, which did not make much difference. She suffered in agony and lived a difficult life. In June 1996, Liu Fengbo and her husband accidentally came across the Falun Dafa book Zhuan Falun. After reading it only once, their health miraculously recovered. Their bodies felt light when they walked and they became healthy. Their tempers also improved, and they no longer quarreled with each other. They both strictly held themselves to the standard of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" and tried to be good people.
After Jiang Zemin and the Party launched the persecution of Falun Dafa, the couple's peaceful, happy, and harmonious life was disrupted. For practicing Falun Dafa, Mr. Qi was taken to a detention center for 45 days. He was released after being forced to promise not to practice Falun Dafa any longer. After getting home, Qi Qingyuan realized that it was wrong to tell a lie. He then made a solemn statement that he would practice Falun Dafa again, and he told people that Falun Dafa was not wrong and that Falun Dafa is good.
On December 26, 2002, someone reported Qi Qingyuan, who was then unlawfully imprisoned in Liaoyang Shijuizi Forced Labor Camp for a year and a half. While trying to stop the police from committing bad deeds, his wife, Ms. Liu, was also taken away and imprisoned in the notorious Masanjia Forced Labor Camp for one and a half years. A once happy family was thus destroyed.
The people responsible for the arrests of Qi Qingyuan and Liu Fengbo on December 26, 2002, were Liu Guangming, head of the police station in Xiaoqijia, along with police officer Ji Lu and others.
While the arrests were taking place, the police beat the couple's two daughters and injured them. The younger daughter's arms were injured from being twisted, and she had difficultly taking care of the family with her injured arms.
In Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, Ms. Liu was tortured by inhuman means and forced to do intensive labor.
On June 13, 2006, with Zhou Zheng, head of the National Security Group in the Taizihe District, putting his primary effort in leading the Taizihe Division, the police station in Xiaoqijia again sent officers to arrest Mr. Qi Qingyuan. In the process, he was beaten and kicked by the police. Bystanders said that the corners of his mouth were bleeding as the result of the police kicking him, but he was still shouting, "Falun Dafa is good!"
The officers then came inside and confiscated their property. They then arrested Ms. Liu, who was also beaten and kicked by the police. She shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" During the unlawful search, the police even tore their pillows apart and pulled out money hidden there. They wanted to steal it, but the neighbors saw what was going on and the police had to return the money to the family.
After the couple was taken to Liaoyang Shizuizi Detention Center, the Taizihe Court convened a session for their case around September 25, 2006. That day, the Taizihe District and Zhou Zheng, head of the National Security Group, collaborated to try to arrest the couple's daughter. The family members saw through their plot and told the young woman to leave by taxi. During the court session, Both Mr. Qi and Ms. Liu clarified the truth to those in attendance, including the judges and clerks. The Taizihe Court ended the session quickly. After about a week, Qi Qingyuan was sentenced to five years of imprisonment, and Liu Fengbo to three years. Ms. Liu protested this illegal sentence. Learning Falun Dafa and trying to be a good person with good health is not wrong, so she again appealed to the middle court. After about a month, the middle court rejected her appeal and upheld the original sentence.
Ms. Liu Fengbo is currently in Liaoning Province Women's Prison. She has become very thin. The guards often instigate criminal inmates to beat and swear at her, attempting to mentally crush her. This prison is a hell in the human world. Practitioners are constantly violently forced to do very intensive labor making clothing, and every day they can only sleep for very short periods of time. When practitioner's families visit, the guards do not allow the families to order meals and they have to meet in a certain room where monitors are installed. Two guards sit beside each practitioner, watching their every move. They also often remind the family not to sit too close to the practitioner, and they are not allowed to talk about conditions inside the prison. If they don't follow these orders, their visit is ended.
When Ms. Liu first arrived at the prison, she was cruelly beaten by the criminal inmates. She could not walk, and her legs constantly shook. She was in the Second Group. Once she did not talk to Qu Xiaoqing, the head of the Second Group, and she did not stand up. She was then forced by other inmates from the Second Group to stand for an entire day. In the end, she could not stand any longer, and passed out on the ground. A head of other group helped her to stand up, but Qu Xiaoqing (age 30, female, very sinister and cunning, who has been in charge of the Second Group for only two months) actually pretended that nothing was happening. There are also scars on Liu Fengbo's arms from being dragged.
Mr. Qi Qingyuan is in the First Group at Shenyang City Dongling Prison. His family has never been allowed to visit him. The family went there several times and demanded to see him, but the head of the prison turned them down. The family called the head of the prison specifically, requesting a visit. The head of the prison actually demanded that the family swear at the teacher of Falun Dafa as a condition for their visit. The family flatly refused to comply.
