Clearwisdom.net previously reported on the persecution suffered by Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Gong Maocheng, an employee of Mengyin County Electricity Bureau in Shandong Province. Now, here is further information.

On October 9, 2000, Mr. Gong Maocheng was arrested because he clarified the truth to people. He was detained in Mengyin Detention Center for 27 days and was forced to pay 1060 yuan for a so-called administrative fee. On November 5, 2000, he was transferred to the brainwashing center of Mengyin County 610 Office and detained there for 48 days. The brainwashing center extorted him out of 5000 yuan and then another 720 yuan for his living expenses.

After he went back to work, the electricity bureau withheld his salary and bonus. Between November 2000 and March 2002, the bureau did not pay his salary for 11 months and the total amount was 21,000 yuan. The bureau gave him only180 yuan per month for his living expenses. His salary was reduced by one level, about 57 yuan per month. Between 2001 and 2007, the total loss was 4788 yuan due to the decreased salary level.

At about 8 a.m. on September 7, 2006, Sun Liangshan, head of Duozhuang Town Police Station, arrested Mr. Gong Maocheng while he was on duty at Duozhuang Electricity Station. He was taken away in his work uniform and detained in a detention center for 47 days.

The police brutally tortured him. Mr. Gong was transferred to a new place every 24 hours. Wherever he was, the police beat him. When he was detained by Mengyin County Criminal Police Team, the police covered his head with a black plastic bag and then beat him, which caused his mouth and nose to bleed. The police did not stop until he fainted. His hands were handcuffed from the back and then he was hung on a heating pipe. He was only able to touch the ground with his toes. He was hung this way for 24 days. The police forced him to sit on a tiger bench and slapped his face. When the police became tired of slapping, they beat him with their shoes. Policeman Wang Wei also handcuffed Mr. Gong behind his back and forced him to sit on the ground with his back against the wall and his two legs straight. Wang Wei then brutally beat his feet. Wang Wei stuck Mr. Gong's lower legs with a rolling electric ball, which caused Mr. Gong extreme pain.

At the same time, Mengyin County 610 Office, the detention center and Mengyin County Electricity Bureau also persecuted him financially. The detention center extorted1260 yuan from him for a so-called administrative fee; the 610 Office forced him to pay 20,000 yuan for a fine; and the police extorted 27,000 yuan from his family. The police also took away Mr. Gong's new laptop, an electric charger, and a multi-function surge protector, worth a total of 17,000 yuan.

Since 2000, Mr. Gong Maocheng has been extorted for nearly 124,500 yuan.
