(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Liu Yongjin was a practitioner in Linyi City, Shandong Province. On February 5, 2008, Xing Yongnong and other officers from Linyi City Lanshan Police Department arrested Mr. Liu. The local 610 Office manipulated the Lanshan District Court, which sentenced Mr. Liu to seven years in prison. Mr. Liu was taken to the Jinan Prison, but he was rejected because a physical exam showed that he had pneumonia and tuberculosis as a result of the torture he had been subjected to during interrogation and detention. On June 18, 2008, after a three month stay in the Jinan Prison Hosptial, Mr. Liu was taken to the Taian Prison. Mr. Liu has been under level-one strict restriction since then. On February 20, 2009, guards revoked Mr. Liu's family visitations as a punishment for Mr. Liu's disobedience.
Mr. Liu endured severe torture while in prison, such as sleep deprivation, restricted bathroom use, and being beaten by other prisoners.
