(Clearwisdom.net) On February 20, Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Liu Zhilan, Ms. Li Yongju, Mr. Li Fucai and Mr. Li Yongxue, who had just started practicing Falun Dafa, were arrested while clarifying the truth in Xiaomian Town in Hechuan, Chongqing City. The perpetrators from the Chongqing City National Security Bureau and from the Hechuan City National Security Bureau tried to force Ms. Liu to admit that she had been clarifying the truth for the past few years, but she firmly refused. She was sentenced to 15 months of forced labor and was sent unlawfully to the Maojiashan Female Forced Labor Camp.
Mr. Li Yongxue was sentenced to one year of forced labor for taking Ms. Liu to Xiaomian Town; he was sent to the Xishanping Forced Labor Camp. The current whereabouts of practitioner Mr. Li Fucai are unknown. Practitioner Ms. Li Yongju was detained for ten days.
Ms. Liu Zhilan's whole family was persecuted, as described below:
Ms. Liu's aunt is in her 70s. She used to suffer from heart disease but was cured after she started practicing Falun Gong. The police officers in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province often went to her home to harass and threaten her, which prevented her from doing the exercises. After she went to live with her sister in Chongqing City, officers from the Shiqiaopu Police Station went to terrorize and intimidate her, which caused her health to deteriorate.
Ms. Liu's father was cured of brain atrophy after practicing Falun Gong. After July 20, 1999, agents from the Chongqing City National Security Bureau publicly fabricated the lie that medication cured him, not Falun Gong. After the perpetrators arrested Ms Liu's mother, Ms. Gu Zhiyi, officers from the Shiqiaopu Police Station in the Gaoxin District harassed and threatened her father on a frequent basis. He was unable to study the Fa regularly or to do the exercises. His health continued to deteriorate until he became paralyzed.
Ms. Liu's mother was arrested after July 20, 1999, and was held at the Shibanpo Detention Center in Chongqing City for 14 months. Even now her hands tremble uncontrollably and she is extremely weak.
Ms. Liu's husband, Mr. Zhang Quanliang, was arrested after he appealed to different levels of the government. He was held at the Xishanping Forced Labor Camp for three years, which left him with severe physical and psychological trauma, including a stutter, poor hearing and convulsions, among other symptoms. His work unit regarded him as a burden and quickly fired him. He is currently unemployed.
Ms. Liu's son, Guo Guo, is six years old. He has suffered a great deal for a young child.
