(Minghui.org) Zhang Weiping and five other officers from the Taiping Road Police Station in the Fengrun District, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, broke into Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Li Chengshun’s home at 7:30 a.m. on February 25, 2012. They arrested him and confiscated his Falun Gong books and two cell phones. Mr. Li was then sent to the Hebei Province First Forced Labor Camp (also known as Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Tangshan) on March 23 and was illegally sentenced to two years of imprisonment. This is the third time he has been subjected to long-term detention.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Li Chengshun from Tangshan City

Mr. Li was born in Tangshan City in April 1963. He began practicing Falun Gong in October 1994 and greatly benefited in mind and body. Because he has remained steadfast in his belief in Falun Gong, he has been persecuted multiple times.

On March 5, 2002, four officers from the Kaiping District Police Department in Tangshan City arrested Mr. Li at his workplace. They took him to the basement of the police station, where he was interrogated and tortured. On May 31, the authorities sent him to the Tangshan City First Detention Center without following any legal procedures. They detained him for more than eight months, until his family sucessfully urged authorities to release him. The authorities also extorted 10,000 yuan from his family as a so-called “management fee.”

Mr. Li was living in his friend’s home in Majiagou in the Kaiping District when, on February 26, 2009, officials from the Kaiping District Police Department and the Majiagou Road Police Station arrested him again and severely tortured him. On March 25 that same year, he was sentenced to two years of imprisonment by the Tangshan City Forced Labor Camp Administration Committee and was tortured in the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp. His employer, the Tangshan Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd., subsequently fired him.

Mr. Li’s mother is in her 70s. She cared for his two children who were still in primary school while he was detained. After Mr. Li was released, he had to do hard labor to support his family.
