(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Qu Yanyan from Daqing City visited her older brother, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Qu Yanlai, who was illegally imprisoned at Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai on March 20, 2007. That very evening, she was taken against her will by the Shanghai State Security police from the Zhongye Hotel located at 235 Xiashan Road, Hongkou District, Shanghai.
As early as September 30, 2002, when police from Taopu Police Station in Shanghai arrested Mr. Qu Yanlai, the Shanghai State Security police had intended to arrest Ms. Qu Yanyan, and colluded with Daqing City police to implement the plan. But beforehand some people exposed the plan to a member of Ms. Qu Yanyan's family, and her relative paid a large sum of money to Daqing City police to make them drop the plan.
Ms. Qu Yanyan's older brother, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Qu Yanlai, once won a special award at the national Olympic chemistry competition and the top award at the national Olympic Mathematics Competition. He graduated from the Energy Engineering Department of Shanghai Jiaotong University. Because he persisted in practicing Falun Gong, he was illegally sentenced to 5 years of imprisonment and illegally imprisoned at the Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai City. Mr. Qu Yanlai once went on a hunger strike (taking no food nor water) for over 750 days to protest the detention and persecution, as well as to strive for the right to do the exercises.
By March 2007, the police at the prison still continued persecuting Mr. Qu Yanlai, who had already been on the hunger strike for more than four and half years. The additional persecution put his life in jeopardy. The police were compelled to send Mr. Qu to the prison hospital. Mr. Qu Yanlai was taken to the fourth floor of the Second Prison Zone from the Sixth Prison Zone by the prison police who tied him up with a leather belt and handcuffed him. The police in the Second Prison Zone continue various mental and physical tortures on Mr. Qu Yanlai, who is extremely thin at present.
