- Belated News - Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Guan Lianbin from Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province went to Beijing in October 1999 to clarify the truth. He was illegally detained at the Huanghua Police Station, (of the Aimin Police Department in Mudanjiang City).
Around 8:00 p.m. on October 22, 2002, officers from the Huanghua Police Station illegally arrested Guan Lianbin and took him to the police station. They wrapped his head with a plastic bag, removing it only after he lost consciousness. This torture was repeated numerous times. They also force-fed him pepper water and mustard oil, tied him up with a rope and deprived him of sleep. They tortured him brutally for nine days. On February 14, 2003, Guan Lianbin was unconstitutionally sentenced to five years in prison along with more than 30 other practitioners from Mudanjiang City. He was forbidden to appeal the sentence and was sent directly to Ward 6 of Mudanjiang Prison in Heilongjiang Province. Because Mr. Guan persisted in Dafa practice, the guards cruelly tortured him. They detained him in solitary confinement continuously and forced him to do intense manual labor. They also beat him and prevented his family from meeting with him.
