(Clearwisdom.net) On May 21, 2001, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Bo Fucheng was illegally arrested again. He is currently being tortured and is detained in the Zhaoyuan Detention Center. It has been two months since he was arrested. It is not known if he is still alive. The detention center refuses family visits.

Bo Fucheng is a practitioner from Bojia village, Xiadian town, Zhaoyuan city, Shandong province. Since he started to practice Falun Dafa in the spring of 1997, he has followed the principle of "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance" and tried to be a better person. His family became harmonious, he became a diligent person, and he gave up his bad habits. He has a peanut-planting machine at home. Every planting season, other villagers would ask for his help to plant peanuts. He always tried his best to do it, showing the attitude of a Falun Gong cultivator. He is well-liked and respected by his fellow villagers.

However, since July 20, 1999, like thousands of Falun Dafa practitioners, he encountered brutal persecution. Since then, his family has not found peace.

Dafa is maliciously slandered and innocent practitioners are persecuted. Bo Fucheng has deeply benefited from Dafa, and he believed that the persecution was because the government did not know the truth about Falun Dafa. How could he know that it was purposely designed and started by a jealous man, Jiang Zemin?

In November 1999, Bo Fucheng and another two practitioners went to Beijing to appeal and to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to the government. Halfway there, he was stopped by people from the town government. Wang Chunhui, the political secretary of Xiadian town, together with two vicious people from the government, Wang Shuzheng and Zhang You, illegally detained Bo Fucheng in the meeting room and garage of the town government. People from the birth-control office were also involved. They took turns to torture and beat Bo Fucheng, almost killing him. One of the men claimed: "I don’t believe that Falun Gong can resist more torture." Then he violently kicked Bo Fucheng’s lower abdomen, making Bo Fucheng’s muscles spasm. On November 20, 2000, Bo Fucheng went to Beijing again to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. As a result, he was illegally arrested by policemen from Tiananmen Square in Beijing. He was taken back by an agent specializing in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, who was sent from Zhaoyuan city to Beijing. He was detained in a detention center and persecuted there for more than two months. Later, he was sent to Wangchun Labor Camp in Zibo, Shandong province for forced brainwashing for two weeks.

In the afternoon on May 21, 2006, Bo Fucheng got an unexpected phone call, asking him to make a trip to Biguo town in Zhaoyuan city. At night, Bo Fucheng rode his motorcycle and went to Biguo town. In the end, he was arrested by national security in Zhaoyuan city. On the morning of the second day, Hou Yunxian, Xu Jiasheng, and 28 policemen from the national security team from Zhaoyuan city, driving 5 police cars and with Bo Fucheng in one of the cars, went to Bo Fucheng’s home and illegally ransacked it. They took away items valued from 30,000 – 40,000 yuan, including a computer and copy machine. A savings certificate of 6,000 yuan was also taken away from Bo Fucheng’s home. At the same time, another practitioner from the same village, Bo Fuyu, was also arrested. Later, more than 9 practitioners from the same town were arrested.

Bo Fucheng was illegally detained in the Zhaoyuan City Detention Center and tortured there. He was beaten up by policemen until he lost consciousness. Then he was revived with cold water and beaten until he passed out again. He was also hung up with cuffs for a long time. He was tortured until he almost died. It is not known whether he is still alive.

Bo Fucheng’s illegal arrest gave his family members tremendous hardship both mentally and physically. Bo Fucheng simply refused to give up his belief. He went to Beijing to appeal, exercising rights given by the country’s constitution. He tried to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to people with his tremendous sacrifice. It was the display of his great compassion and tolerance.

We hope kind-hearted people will pay attention to what happened to Bo Fucheng, giving him moral and legal support. We also hope that people will pay attention to this case and stand up for justice, help us to rescue Bo Fucheng together, and help to set him free and reunite with his family.
