Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Long Yueyun from Xinjin County, Sichuan Province is 67 years old. He was an engineer for the Xinjin Detergent Factory and was recognized as an outstanding person in Xinjin County in the 80's. Ms. Liu Shuwei, 64, was a member of the accounting staff for the Xinjin Detergent Factory. They have been detained and persecuted many times by the Chinese Communist Party-run police department because they uphold their belief in Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.
In November 1999, the married couple went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. On January 9, 2000, Long Yueyun, Liu Shuwei and three other Falun Gong practitioners went to Tiananmen Square to do the group exercises and validate Dafa. A group of police officers and plainclothes officers jumped out of a police vehicle and beat and kicked them down to the snowy ground. Then the police dragged them into the police vehicle and took them to the Tiananmen Square Police Station. The police locked the practitioners in an iron cage and then sent them back to Xinjin County on January 13, 2000. Long Yueyun and Liu Shuwei were illegally sentenced to 15 days in the detention center. Later they were transferred from the local detention center to the county detention center and illegally detained for 30 days. They were fined 20,000 yuan, deducted from Long Yueyun and Liu Shuwei's pension and their daughter's settlement allowance.
On June 29, 2000, the couple went to the Jinshanjiao Plaza in Xinjin County to participate in group exercise practice and police officer Zhang Fu (who once worked at the Wujin Town Police Station but now works for the First Section of the county police department) and others took them to the Wujin Town Police Station in Xinjin County. The eighteen practitioners who were arrested continued to do the exercises in the police station. The police ordered the temporary workers to hit the practitioners with brooms. Pairs of the 18 practitioners were handcuffed together to trees and exposed to the blazing sun (the temperature was 38 degrees Celsius that day) from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The practitioners were not allowed to speak, use the restroom, or eat or drink anything, not even the food and water their family members had sent to them. Some of the practitioners' faces or arms were so badly sunburned that the skin easily peeled off. Long Yueyun was sent to the county detention center and detained for 30 days after being detained at the Wujin Police Station for 15 days. Liu Shuwei was transferred to the Wuxing Police Station in Pujiang County, Sichuan Province after she had been detained at the police station for two days. She was handcuffed to a tree in the daytime and was interrogated starting at 3 a.m. by the Wuxing Police Station, the First Section of the Pujiang County Police Department and two temporary workers. She refused to tell the police anything and they beat her badly. After three days, she was locked in an approximately 2-square-meter room in the basement of the building. The room only had one small vent on the iron gate. It was very dirty, smelly and damp. It was also full of mosquitoes that bit her so badly that she could not sleep. After she was detained for 15 days at the Wuxing Police Station, she was transferred again to the Pujiang County Detention Center and detained for 30 days.
In August 2000, Long Yueyun and Liu Shuwei's home was illegally searched and they were detained again for 15 days. On the night of September 30, more than 10 people, including the security guard of the Xinjin Detergent Factory Xu Wangzhong and others from the First Section of the county police department and the Wujin Town government went to their home again and deceived them by claiming that the police needed to confirm something with them in the factory. When they went to the factory, they were arrested and detained for another 26 days.
