Facts of Persecution
Soon after July 20, 1999, CCTV, China's state-run TV network, aired the story of a worker named Li from the Linnancang Mine in Tangshan City who was arrested for stealing. The perpetrators lied and claimed that he practiced Falun Gong and told them he thought he became invisible and therefore he stole public property. After the news story was broadcast, the folks in the Linnancang Mine area were greatly stirred. Everyone thought, "Why does CCTV lie? We all know Li never practiced Falun Gong."
In order to clarify the truth, Falun Gong practitioner Liu Jianli from the Linnancang Mine went to Tiananmen Square and spoke the facts through a megaphone. After Liu Jianli was arrested, the police persecuted him with various means. They sent him to a detention center and then a labor camp and later sent him to a mental hospital to be persecuted. In the end, for further persecution they sent him to a "reform" school for brainwashing and mental torment.
On August 25, 2001, perpetrators from the Yutian Politics and Security Section in Tangshan City, and also from the Politics and Security Section of Fengrun Police Department and Qishuzhuang Police Station ransacked Dafa practitioner Huang Yuwen's home. They took 1,000 Yuan that Huang Yuwen's mother-in-law had earned. They took him to Fengrun Police Department to interrogate and torture him; then detained him in Fengrun Detention Center for over 60 days. The perpetrators also withheld nearly 1,500 Yuan, which is two months' salary, from Huang Yuwen. On August 24, 2001, police officers from Guotun Town Police Station in Yutian County broke into his mother's home, ransacked it and took his parents to the police station.
