[Macheng City, Hubei Province] City Hospital Nurse Ms. Liu Nianhua Imprisoned for Clarifying the Truth

On September 9, 2003, nurse Liu Nianhua from Macheng City's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital spoke with patients about her personal experience of the powerful effect of Dafa on health improvement, about the persecution and exposing the Jiang regime's lies. An individual named Zou, who did not know the facts about Dafa, found out about this. Zou secretly brought to the hospital six criminal policemen, who arrested her and searched her home. They deceived her into accompanying them into the Macheng No. 2 Detention Center and illegally detained her there. After she further clarified the truth, the criminals knew that they did not have any reason to detain her, and let her know that she would be released if she agreed to pay money. Liu Nianhua firmly refused at first, but the unlawful policemen secretly demanded and received over 4,000 Yuan from her family. She was not released until a week later.
