Falun Gong Practitioners in Shijiazhuang City Illegally Incarcerated and Denied Legal Counsel

(Minghui.org) On February 25, 2012, six Falun Gong practitioners from Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province were abducted: Ms. Qiu Liying, Ms. Sun Tao, Ms. Qi Guoqin, Ms. Yin Yanxin, Mr. Chu Qingxi, and Ms. Wei Weihong. Ms. Qiu and Ms. Yin were subsequently released, while the other four practitioners are still being held in Shijiazhuang's Second Detention Center.

Ms. Qiu and Ms. Sun's families hired lawyers to help rescue them. However, police officers from Chang'an District Domestic Security Brigade and Yuhua Domestic Security Brigade refused to let the lawyers visit the practitioners, claiming that the practitioners were threatening national security.

Ms. Qiu is 48 years old and used to work for a petroleum refinery in Shijiazhuang. She began to practice Falun Gong in 1996. As a result, her excessive anxiety, arthritis, heart disease, and breast tumor were cured. She also became a better person and was more considerate and hardworking.

Ms. Sun used to have a serious case of hepatitis B as well as a bad temper. She constantly fought with her husband. Her mental faculties had declined, and she suffered from memory loss, no longer able to work. After giving birth, she also contracted anemia and rheumatoid arthritis. She was 5'7” and weighed less than 100 lbs. In 1996, she began to practice Falun Gong. She saw an immediate improvement in her health and she became more energetic. She was able to work again. She even won first prize in a marathon and surprised everyone she knew. Her temper improved and she became much more tolerant. Her family enjoyed a harmonious life.

Ms. Qiu and Ms. Sun have committed no crimes and are no threat whatsoever to national security. Their arrest and incarceration are illegal.

Currently Ms. Qiu's mother is bed-ridden and needs her care. Her mother, after learning about her arrest, became very emotional. She cries non-stop for her daughter until she is exhausted and finally falls asleep. Her illnesses have worsened.
