Engineer Liu Jianli Tortured to the Point of Being Disabled For Exposing Falsehoods in CCTV's Propaganda

Nov. 29, 2002 |   Practitioner from China

(Clearwisdom.net) In Yutian County of Hebei Province, a petty thief was caught. When asked by the police why he stole, the thief lied to the police, hoping to get out of his situation. He made up a wild story saying that he was a Falun Gong practitioner and obtained such a supernormal ability that he could steal anything without being seen by others. However, toward the end of the interrogation, the thief admitted that he had never practiced Falun Gong. Although they knew the truth, the local police used this incident to curry favor with the higher authorities. The officers went so far as to tell the thief, "You just say that you are practitioner of Falun Gong and make an appearance on the TV news. If you do this you will get a reduced term." In this way, the Police Station of Yutian and the Central Chinese Television station (CCTV) conspired to fabricate an ugly farce, and aired it on CCTV to frame Falun Gong and deceive the public.

After the TV program was broadcast, Liu Jianli, a young engineer in his thirties from the Linnancang Coal Mine of Yutian, printed more than 200 cards that clarified the facts and went to Tiananmen Square in Beijing to expose the fabricated CCTV report. In front of both domestic and overseas reporters and bystanders, Liu Jianli revealed the truth to people by talking through an audio amplifier and exposing the ugly act of Jiang's regime to frame Falun Gong and deceive the public. He also handed out his cards explaining the true situation to the reporters and bystanders in the crowd. Afterwards, Liu Jianli was taken away by the Tiananmen police.

Liu Jianli's exposing CCTV's lies was a righteous act and completely honorable. However, vicious people from the "610 Offices" (an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems) of Tangshan City and the Bureau of Kailuan Coal Mine brutally and inhumanly persecuted him. In the beginning, Liu Jianli was illegally detained in the city's detention center, and then was committed against his will to a mental hospital to receive a different form of persecution. Pressured on all sides, his family members paid five thousand Yuan as a so-called penalty to obtain his release. Right after that the authorities began to persecute him by sending him to various places for detention and persecution on a rotating basis. He was sent by the "610 Office" of the Bureau of Kailuan Coal Mine to the brainwashing center of the Tangshan Textile University. After being released from the brainwashing class, he was again sent to the city detention center and then transferred back to the mental hospital. Now, he is once more being held in the brainwashing center of the Tangshan Textile University.

For three years, Jiang's regime has been responsible for persecuting him both physically and spiritually just because he spoke out about the truth. Due to repeated beatings, Liu Jianli has now become disabled. Since he is still under illegal detention, many details of his situation are not known. We would appreciate any righteous person's help to obtain Liu Jianli's release from this predicament as soon as possible.
