(Minghui.org) The Jize County Domestic Security Division in Hebei Province refused to release a local Falun Gong practitioner even after a procuratorate twice returned her case to the police.
Ms. Liu Yunqiao was arrested in June 2024, after the Fengzheng Township Police Station deceived her into reporting to them. They seized her as soon as she arrived and gave her ten days of administrative detention. On the 11th day, instead of releasing her as promised, they put her in criminal detention and took her to the Handan City Third Detention Center. Hanhan oversees Jize County.
According to an insider, Ms. Liu’s arrest and subsequent detention was ordered by Guo Zhenjiang (+86-13832006152), captain of the Jize County Domestic Security Division. He instructed the Fengzheng Township Police Station to submit the case against Ms. Liu to a local procuratorate (exact name unknown).
The procuratorate twice returned the case, but Guo insisted that Ms. Liu remain detained. Her family filed a complaint against Guo for breaking the law as detailed below.
- Ms. Liu’s arrest and continued detention were a result of police deceit. The arresting officers didn’t produce a search warrant when they raided her home at an unknown time. They confiscated 1,000 yuan in cash and other valuables, without giving her or her family a list of confiscated items as required by law.
- The case against Ms. Liu was established after her arrest and home raid when by law the police must build a case against a suspect first before making the arrest. After the procuratorate twice returned the case, Guo went to the detention center and deceived Ms. Liu into signing paperwork to keep her detained. His promise to free her as soon as she complied turned out to be an empty one.
- Ms. Liu developed some heart problems in custody and her lawyer submitted multiple requests to have her undergo a physical examination, only to be rejected by Guo each and every time.
- Guo also directed the local officials to threaten Ms. Liu’s husband and investigate her children’s school in an attempt to make her renounce Falun Gong.
