Thirty-eight Falun Dafa practitioners from Dachang County, Langfang City, Hebei Province, were detained after appealing for the release of fellow practitioners. Mr. Li Dejun and Ms. Liu Shuying's two daughters ages 12 and 15 are detained in the Dachang County Detention Centre. To protest this illegal persecution, several practitioners began a hunger strike February 5th, 2006.
The Dachang County Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) held an urgent meeting and decided to further increase secret surveillance of all local Falun Dafa practitioners, to prevent further appeals. The Committee declared it would punish the 38 practitioners already held in detention.
On February 5th, 2006, Ms. Liu Shuying, Mr. Gao Tiansong, and Mr. Li Changhong were among a group of 50 people from Dachang County, Hebei Province, detained by the Xianghe County Police. These practitioners appealed for the release of Mr. Wang Shaoqiu from Langfang City and Mr. Li Dejun, Ms. Liu Shuying's husband.
38 practitioners were arrested and transferred to the Dachang County Detention Centre and their homes were searched without a warrant.
In the detention centre, practitioners were brutally assaulted to the extent that some nearly had their teeth knocked out. One practitioner was stripped of his winter clothing, tied to a wall, and forced to endure the harsh winter night with all the windows open. Mr. Li Dejun and Ms. Liu Shuying's two adolescent daughters are still detained in Dachang County Detention Centre.
Mr. Li Dejun, aged 44, of Ximazhuang Village, Dachang Township, and his wife, Ms. Liu Shuying, previously ran a small business to support their two young daughters and a 70-year-old mother. Since July 20th, 1999, the couple have experienced illegal detention and forced labour many times. Their home was ransacked and their life earnings confiscated by the police. Their two young daughters are forced to find work just to maintain a living. Witnessing this unjust persecution of her family members over the years, Mr. Li Dejun's mother is both physically and mentally devastated.
