Police arrested him at the train station and illegally detained him at the Pingshan Township Police Station in Zhuanghe City for 15 days. When the detention time limit expired the township police extorted money from his family and claimed that it was a deposit (the actual amount is not known).
In June 2000 Mr. Liu Guichun went to Beijing again to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. He was beaten by police officers at Tiananmen Square and then arrested. He was taken to a detention center on the northern outskirts of Beijing where he was again cruelly beaten. Several days later, Mr. Liu was taken to Dalian Drug Rehabilitation Center for detention.

The person in charge was called Yang. Authorities from the local government and the police station ransacked Mr. Liu's home, threatened his family and extorted money. As the family had no money, the decadent officials began to catalog the property, such as the quantity of grain on the property, the number of livestock and other properties. They threatened to confiscate all they had recorded.
The guards ordered the inmates to beat Mr. Liu inhumanly. His vocal cords were injured, his left arm crippled and his buttocks and back covered with cuts and bruises.
