Mr. Liu Changde started cultivating Falun Dafa in 1996. When the persecution started on July 20, 1999, Mr. Liu went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. He was arrested and taken back to Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province. He was detained in Jiamusi City Railroad Police Department and the City Suburban Police Department. Police in Changfa Station later had Mr. Liu detained in Jiamusi City Detention Center. He was released after his family was extorted out of more than 300 yuan.
In April 2000, Liu Changde took a bus to clarify the truth to policemen in Changfa Station. Policeman Qi Xugang tried to force Mr. Liu to write a guarantee letter to give up cultivation, but Mr. Liu refused. He was taken to the Suburban Police Department, and detained 25 days in Jiamusi City Detention Center, where prisoners tortured him by different methods. He was released after his family was extorted out of more than 2,500 yuan, which they had to borrow.
