(Clearwisdom.net) Since July 20, 1999, Falun Dafa practitioners from Lingbei Town, Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province have suffered severe persecution. The police have done whatever they please during this time, illegally arresting Falun Dafa practitioners and trying to push responsibilities off on one another in order to gain political capital and huge amounts of money. Most notable among them is Li Xinhai, a police officer from the Lingbei Town Police Station. The director of Lingbei Police Station has changed 3 times, and under each director, Li Xinhai has taken a leading role in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. Up until now, he still has not changed, and continues arresting Falun Dafa practitioners.
