Thug-Like Officials Wantonly Persecute and Rob Practitioners in Shandong Province

Yu Fangzheng, about 40 years old, was a member of the Zhongjing Town Political and Judiciary Committee and now works in the Tuanwang Town government, specialising in persecuting Dafa practitioners. In 2001 a group of thugs led by Yu Fangzheng arrested a female practitioner and her husband, who was not a practitioner, and took them to the town government. He tried to force the couple to say where they got Falun Dafa materials. When they refused, he brutally twisted their arms behind their backs and then he punched and kicked them. As a result, their arms were hurt so badly that the couple could not work for several months. At last the thugs forced the practitioner's husband to pay 4,000 dollars for the release of his wife.

On a February evening in 2002, about 20 people from the Laiyang City Public Security Bureau led by the Tuanwang Town police substation illegally broke into the homes of two women Dafa practitioners, Liu Cailian and Gao Xinghua, without search warrants. These lawless people ransacked boxes and chests and took away several Dafa books and other materials. Liu Cailian had 1250 Chinese yuan [the average monthly income for an urban family in China is 500 yuan, for a rural family, it is 200 yuan] in the wardrobe. The police insisted the money was from the sale of Dafa books so they took the money and arrested the practitioner [please note that all Falun Gong books, videos and audio tapes are sold at cost price. There is no profit to be made in Falun Gong].
