Mr. Diao Peng Died as a Result of Persecution
Mr. Diao Peng, 35, lived in Taiping Township, Changtu County, Liaoning Province. He was disabled, but Falun Dafa gave him a new life. Around March-April 2004, Mr. Diao Peng's wife was about to give birth. Taiping Township Police Station Director Liu Xinghai (male) and others arrested Mr. Diao and interrogated him at the station. They said Mr. Diao sent cell phone messages containing Falun Gong truth-clarifying information, and they were detected by Liaoning Province Domestic Security agents. Mr. Diao escaped from the station. His father was forced to chase him with the agents. On the way, the police vehicle got stuck in a pothole on a bridge. The agents forced Mr. Diao's father to pay to have the vehicle fixed and demanded that he find Mr. Diao.
Afterwards, Domestic Security Division Leader Liu Jianxin (male) threatened, tortured, and extorted more than 10,000 yuan cash--without receipts--from the detained Mr. Diao Peng. Officials also forced his uncle, a schoolteacher, to write a guarantee statement for him. This created a huge financial burden for his terrified family.
Mr. Diao Peng's wife is disabled, their daughter is in middle school, and their son is only three years old. His family lived on his income from repairing household appliances. Due to the extreme psychological pressure and financial tension, Mr. Diao Peng got sick and died on October 21, 2007, at the young age of 35.
