Ms. Liu Ying Illegally Detained for Thirty Days in Gongan County, Hubei Province

(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Liu Ying, about 40 years old, is a Dafa practitioner in Gongan County, Hubei Province. She used to be an employee of Hubei Province Agricultural Vehicle Plant (located in Gongan County). Because of practicing Falun Dafa, she was fired by her employer. Ms. Liu was then illegally sentenced to three years of detention, during which she was tortured tremendously. After her release, however, the authorities still did not give her freedom, but instead sent people to follow her and monitor her movements.

On March 14, 2006, more than 10 police officers went to her home, attempting to illegally arrest her. They failed. To avoid further persecution, Ms. Liu had little choice but to stay away from home, and after much difficulty, arrived at the Fourth Agricultural Normal School in Beitun Town, Xinjiang Province, where her husband temporarily worked. Ms. Liu stayed there to look after her husband, and both of them lived around the agricultural market in Buxing Street, Beitun Town.

But the authorities were still after her. Around 11 a.m. on September 1, three policemen (including Song Keqiang, Huo Ping, and someone surnamed Yin) in the National Security Office of the Fourth Agricultural Normal School went to her husband’s workplace. They confiscated their marriage certificate, and used that to illegally arrest her. The police also took a copy of Zhuan Falun, Teacher’s lectures in various places, an MP3 player, and a prepaid phone card. The local police notified the National Security Division of Gongan County to pick her up after 9 a.m. on September 3. Ms. Liu was then illegally detained in the First Detention Center in Gongan County. Several police officers were involved in picking up Ms. Liu including Liao Xuesheng, Xiang Xiaoyang, Ao Hongmei, and a policewoman.

After losing her job because of the persecution, Ms. Liu's family has been very poor. Her elderly parents are in tears every day. Her husband just had an operation in the hospital and nobody is looking after him during recovery. More than 30 days have passed since Ms. Liu's illegal arrest. Her family has been asking the local police to release her, but have not heard any response.

It was said that the National Security Division demanded 10,000 yuan from Ms. Liu’s family but were denied. Later, they wanted 5,000 yuan from her family but were denied again. Seeing the family very poor, and unable to obtain money from the family, the National Security Division transferred Ms. Liu to the Criminal Division.

On the morning of September 27, Chen Maohai and another policeman from the Criminal Division interrogated Ms. Liu, but she did not tell them anything.
