(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Liu Xiuli, a farmer from Suxiangsanshe Village, Erdao Township, Fengman District, Jilin City has been threatened, arrested, and extorted several times by local police all because she will not give up practicing Falun Gong.
On September 17, 1999, the chief of Erdao Township Police Station and policeman Xu Zhenfeng tricked her by saying they just wanted to talk to her and took her to the police station and arrested her. At around 7 p.m., police sent Falun Gong practitioners Liu Xiuli, Wang Ziguang (who died from persecution), Su Changlin, Yang Wenjun and others to brainwashing classes for further persecution. Liu Jun and Liu Xiuli were detained at Jilin City Detention Center for half month after the brainwashing class.
On December 30, 1999, at around 7 p.m., the supervisor of Erdao Township whose family name is Liu, Deputy Supervisor Ma Chunde and others, with a total of over ten people, broke into Liu Xiuli's home and asked her whether she still practices Falun Gong. She replied that she still practices. They arrested Ms. Liu Xiuli illegally and detained her at the Jilin City Detention Center. At the time it was only eight days away from Ms. Liu's daughter's wedding.
In October 2000, Ms. Liu Xiuli went to Beijing to appeal, seeking justice for Falun Gong. She held a banner at Tiananmen Square with the words "Falun Dafa is Good". She was pushed down onto the ground by police right away and was beaten. Her head bleed because of the beating.
She was later sent to a police station, where police forced her to stand in the baking sun. Because she refused to say her name and address, police used needles to poke at her stomach, and used electronic batons to shock her mouth and face.
She successfully escaped from the detention center and returned home. Chief of Erdao County Police Station, policeman Xu Zhenfeng and another four or five policeman put her into the Third Jilin City Detention Center, and detained her for 38 days. She was sentenced to three years in a labor camp.
On September 22, 2003, policeman Xu Zhenfeng and other two policemen ransacked her home. The next day, they climbed the walls and broke into her home, and ransacked her home again while no body was there.
On October 23, 2003 at 6 a.m., policeman Xu Zhenfeng, Li Jianping, Wang Zhongguo, and several other policemen broke into her home again. At that time only Liu Xiuli and her younger daughter were at home. The policeman started to beat her without reason. Xu Zhenfeng said, "The government has the police regarding the deaths of Falun Dafa practitioners by saying: 'It is not a crime to beat them to death, just accuse them of having committed suicide'" Several policemen took turns beating her; even her younger daughter was beaten. They dragged Ms. Liu for over ten meters and then put her in a police vehicle. During the trip, policeman Xu Zhenfeng continued beating Ms. Liu's badly on her chest and heart area. She later escaped.
Ms. Liu was sent twice to brainwashing classes by police. One time it happened at 11 p.m. While looking for her, Deputy County Supervisor whose family name is Zhuang, and policeman Xu Zhenfeng and another policeman broke into her home and took Ms. Liu's husband when they could not find her.
The following day, Deputy County director Ma Chunde and over ten other policemen tried to arrest Ms. Liu Xiuli. Ms. Liu's daughter and Ms Liu's brother-in-law tried to stop them. Six or seven policemen beat Ms Liu's brother-in-law very badly (a deaf-mute), and arrested him. He was beaten so badly that his internal organs were damaged. But later the policemen defamed Falun Gong saying, "Falun Gong kills people". The police station even used this to arrest Ms. Liu's family and sent them to a brainwashing class, and extorted 2000 yuan from them.
