Perpetrators and their crimes

Jing Guiquan, head of the Dongchang District National Security Brigade in Tonghua City, Jilin Province, persecutes Dafa practitioners. Around late July 2004, Jing Guiquan arrested a Falun Dafa practitioner in her 60s who used to live at Xinzhan in Tonghua City. He beat the practitioner all over her body and interrogated her to find out where she got her Dafa flyers. Because the practitioner refused to tell, he tied her legs and her hands to a chair and shocked her with electric batons. The practitioner's internal organs were injured and she developed heart problems from the electric shocks. He sent the practitioner to a detention center with scars all over her body and face. The practitioner vomited blood and her heart stopped beating occasionally. The detention center was afraid of taking responsibility and questioned Jing Guiquan, who admitted that he had tortured the practitioner.

In the winter of 2002, perpetrators Ge Feng, Wang Fei and others from Chaoyang Township, Baoqing County, Heilongjiang Province abducted Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Meiyu.

Ge Feng and other perpetrators ransacked Falun Dafa practitioners' homes many times and Zhang Yuchun participated frequently in the persecution of Dafa practitioners. He was in a car accident recently and his face was disfigured. Wang Fei used to lock Dafa practitioners in a room and beat them.
