Facts of the Persecution

Liu Jun has been detained multiple times, sent to forced labor camps, and almost beaten to death in the Liaoyuan Forced Labor Camp. Yu Guiling was sent to forced labor camp for one year. On the evening of July 19, 2004, police and Township officials ransacked their home again, and brutally beat them.

2) On July 17, 2004, police from the Lanjiang Substation in Suining City, Sichuan Province tried break into Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Yuqiong's home to abduct her. She woke up her neighbors, and told them what was going on. Her neighbors spoke out against the police's crimes. The police could not do anything, and withdrew to their vehicle. Falun Dafa practitioners walked away from danger under Master Li's benevolent protection.

3) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhao Xuemin was an employee of the training center for the Hebei Provincial Power Company (formerly called the Power Institute).
