Liu Xuguo 02.10.2000

LIU Xuguo, male, 29 years old, Zoucheng City, was an engineer at the Zoucheng Fertilizer Factory. On January 29, 2000, Liu Xuguo was abducted from his home and taken to the Jining City Labor Camp with three other practitioners. He was sentenced to three years in jail without due process of the law.

Mr. Liu wrote a letter asking for their release, but he did not receive any reply. On January 30, LIU Xuguo and two practitioners started a hunger strike. The labor camp staff forced them to work even on the fourth day of their hunger strike. Mr. Wang who is the head of Jining City’s Law Department said: "This issue [meaning the persecution of Mr. Liu and two other practitioners] was personally directed by Mr. Wu Guanzheng -- the provincial Party Secretary, we cannot do anything."

At noon on February 4, 2000, police officers and a doctor with the surname Xie became violent and force-fed Mr. Liu by inserting tubes down his nose into his windpipe. This caused severe injury to his windpipe that proved to be fatal. He was taken to the Jining Hospital for emergency treatment. From February 4 to February 7, Jining Labor Camp and Law Department asked for advice from the provincial court, the police department and the high court. The reply was, "Bejing’s High Court said that if he cannot be revived with emergency treatment, let him die. We hold no responsibility."

Around 11 a.m., on February 10, the hospital declared that LIU Xuguo died and placed the body into the freezer without his family’s consent. During the time when LIU Xuguo was undergoing emergency treatment, the Jining Labour Camp destroyed all records of his being force-fed and undergoing emergency treatment in order to cover up their crimes. They also fabricated a new set of records.

Furthermore, after LIU Xuguo’s wife, Man Li (Falun Gong practitioner), was confined to her home for three months, she was sentenced without due process of the law to three years in a labor camp in September 2001 and is currently at the Jinan Female Labor Camp. The only family members at home are her father-in-law who is recovering from a stroke, her mother-in-law who has cancer and her three-and-a-half-year-old son.
