The Conduct of Li Yumei, Party Secretary of Laiwu City, Shandong Province

(Clearwisdom.net)

Ever since Li Yumei became the Party Secretary of Laiwu City, Shandong Province, she has sought to further her own interests. She has conspired with her seniors to involve her subordinates (those in subordinate government offices and police departments) in the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners. No avenue has been left untried. She has used intimidation, coercion, temptation, and deception. She used inhuman methods, such as physical torture and force-feeding, against the local practitioners. She also gave directions for the police to phone tap, follow the practitioners around, and monitor their actions, including seniors and teenagers. Many local practitioners have been sent to the forced labor camps. For those who failed the physical examination and were refused by the labor camps, Li Yumei pressured the related offices and even bribed them to accept these practitioners. In less than a year of her assuming office, over 30 practitioners in the city of Laiwu have been sent to labor camps. One died in custody. Over ten were forced to leave their homes and wander about. She organized many brainwashing classes. The number of practitioners and times they were illegally detained exceeds 1000. The money extorted from practitioners and their families amounts to 100,000 Yuan (Translator's note: Yuan is the Chinese dollar. The average monthly income of an urban worker is 500 Yuan.) Many practitioners are forced to leave their homes and countless families are torn apart, their happy and peaceful lives destroyed. The following is a brief report of some practitioners under the persecution.

1. Wang Jing, female, 16, used to be a student in Fengcheng High School in Laiwu City. She was arrested in March 2001 in Beijing and then detained in the custodial center in Laiwu City. The perpetrators used physical torture to extract a confession from her. The 16-year-old girl was covered with bruises from the torture. In April she was sentenced to the Female Forced Labor Camp in Jinan City, Shandong Province for three years. (Because Wang Jing was severely beaten, the labor camp refused to accept her.) Her father was forced to leave home. Her three year-old brother Xinxin is now in jail (with his parents), too.
2. Wang Hui, female, was taken away by 5 or 6 policemen headed by Shao Liyong of the Guansi Police Station. Her child was left alone on the street. The police officer Su Guojian sent her to the forced labor camp in Jinan City. He also went to Wang Hui's home many times to search and harass.
3. Yin Yuxin, Wang Hui's husband, was sentenced to three years in the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp. On July 13, 2001, while Yin was building a house for his parents a group of policemen from Guansi Police Station came and beat the two senior citizens to the ground. Blood was everywhere. Then they tied up Yin and literally carried him away. His 8-year-old daughter and 70-year-old parents are left home alone.
4. Police arrested Feng Lei, male, late one night at the end of 2000. He was sleeping when the police climbed over the wall to enter his courtyard and forced open the door. They sentenced him to three years in the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp on January 12, 2001 without giving reason.

The perpetrators in Laiwu City headed by Li Yumei are helping Jiang Zemin and his associates to do evil. They ignore the criminal elements in their jurisdiction and instead focus on persecuting people following the principle of "Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance." They are corrupt and take bribes, owing heavy debts to people under their administration.

Li Yumei used to be the mayor of Linyi City of Shandong Province. During the time she was in the office, she took advantage of the reconstruction of the old town. The amount in bribes and payoffs she accepted was beyond imagination. In one case alone, she took over one million Yuan.

Last winter, Li Yumei's younger brother died in an accident when he drove his motorcycle into a utility pole. Everyone knows how notorious Li Yumei is in Linyi City.

Here we solemnly warn Li Yumei and other perpetrators: you will be held responsible for your evil conduct after Jiang Zemin's regime falls. Stop doing evil. Remember that evil will receive retribution. A wicked person is sure to bring destruction to himself.
