(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Meng Lijun was arrested and sentenced to prison. She was near death due to being severely tortured in the detention center. However, the detention center guards and local policemen extorted a large amount of money from her family even when her life was in danger.

Meng Lijun was illegally arrested on September 27, 2005, and before January 29, 2006 (the Chinese New Year) she was sentenced to ten years in prison. She is now being detained in the Jinan City Women's Prison.

Ms. Meng Lijun has an elderly mother in her 80s, a son and a daughter, and a disabled younger brother who depends on her.

In order to protest her illegal detention, Ms. Meng went on a two-month hunger strike inside the Jinan City Detention Center, and at one point her life was in danger. The detention center guards and policemen of the local police department extorted a large amount of money from Meng Lijun's husband. Police officer Yu Jinyuan (male) from the Tianqiao District Department extorted eight thousand yuan from Ms. Meng's family, and said this amount could save her life. The Jinan City 610 Office agents threatened Ms. Meng's husband many times at his workplace to dare not reveal any facts of the persecution against Ms. Meng Lijun.

When Meng Lijun's sisters heard about her detention, they went to the Jinan City Detention Center to request her immediate release. The Chinese Communist Party Officials sealed all information about Ms. Meng, and extended their evil persecution to all of her family members who have been involved in trying to rescue her.

The Jinan City 610 Office and Zhangqiu City 610 Office joined forces. They had policemen from Guanzhuang Station of Zhangqiu City closely monitoring Ms. Meng Lijun's family members living in Zhangqiu City, including her sisters and niece. The Zhangqiu City 610 Officer went to Meng Lijun's second eldest sister's workplace - Zhangqiu City Xiujiang Service Company - and forced her employer to change her job, assign someone to monitor her, and strictly limit her personal freedom.
