4. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Eight Practitioners from the Shenyang City Agricultural University Arrested

Details regarding the arrest of eight Dafa practitioners from the Shenyang City Agricultural University: two of them, senior practitioners, were diagnosed with diseases at the detention center and were then sent back home; the other six are being held at the Fushun City No. 1 Detention Center.

Ms. Bo was later sent to the Luotai Resort Brainwashing Center in Fushun City and she hasn't come back yet. The family of Sun Yi (a driver) rescued him on July 21, 2005. The Fushun County Police Department filed a report with the Procurator Bureau suggesting to sentence the remaining practitioners to forced labor but their request was denied due to insufficient evidence.

The Fushun County Police Department later sentenced Ms. Guo, Meng Qingjie and Kong Fanzhen to two to three years of forced labor and sent them directly to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. Meng Qingjie and Ms. Guo have since been sent home as they were diagnosed with illnesses at the forced labor camp.

Practitioner Mr. Dou Pingjun is from Caozhang Village in Shahe City. In the past few years, the policed have arrested him, sent him to brainwashing sessions and extorted money from him many times. On May 8, 2005, police from Shahe City arrested him when he was working at his farm and put him in a detention center. After staging a hunger strike for over a month at the Shahe Detention Center, he was transferred to the Handan City Forced Labor Camp where he is currently still on the hunger strike and is extremely weak.

Mr. Dou used to be a school principal. He is an excellent teacher and is considered to be a very kind person. He felt spiritual and physical benefits from practicing Falun Gong. During a heavy flood in southern China in 1998, he donated 15,500 Yuan for disaster relief while he himself led a thrifty life. The only reason the Shahe City 610 Office sentenced this nice man to one year of forced labor is for practicing Falun Gong.
