(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Qian Fajun is in his 40s and is from Dongyanma Village, Zhuanggang Town (previously known as Yanma Township, Junan County), Lingang District, Linyi City, Shandong Province. On September 23, 2011, at around 6 a.m., he was arrested at home by a group of unidentified agents during the busy autumn harvest period and was taken to the Linyi Brainwashing Center. Mr. Qian has been on a protest hunger strike since then, for about 20 days. He suffered forced-feeding in the center and his health has severely deteriorated.
Although Mr. Qian's health is in grave danger, he is not allowed to leave the brainwashing class. It is said that the brainwashing center authorities informed the local governments at the district, township and village level to take Mr. Qian back. However, the local governments refused to take him back in the fear that they would be held responsible for persecuting Mr. Qian.
On September 19, 2011, Ms. Qi Lei, a young teacher from Junan County, was arrested at her workplace, and was later detained in the Linyi Brainwashing Center. She is currently undergoing continuous torture by Chinese Communist Party agents. Since February 2010, she has been detained in a labor camp twice. During these detentions she suffered mental problems due to the brutal torture she suffered. This arrest is the third time that Ms. Qi has been arrested.
On September 8, 2011, Ms. Liu Yanmei, a Falun Gong practitioner from Puwang County, Yinan Township, was arrested by local Chinese Communist Party agents. After she was arrested, Ms. Liu was put into the Linyi Brainwashing Center, where she was so brutally tortured that she became mentally disoriented. Her legs were swollen and she could not stand up and move about. She could not take care of her daily necessities, and on September 26, Ms. Liu was released from the brainwashing center.
Falun Gong practitioners Qian Falun, Qi Lei, Li Xiulian, Liu Shanping, Liu Qinglian, Yang Di, Zhao Ziliang, Bai Xiuxiang, Huang Shengrong, Zhou Rong and others are still detained in the Linyi Brainwashing Center and undergoing torture.
Mr. Qian Fajun's father, in his 80s, was left alone at home after Mr. Qian was arrested. The farming work during this busy autumn harvest season is not being taken care of.
