Meng Qingxi 11.20.2000
On the evening of September 30, 2000, town government officials abducted him and took him to the town law office. There were more than 20 Dafa practitioners being held there, all in the same room.
They were detained because the town government wanted to obey the Party's order to "transform Falun Gong practitioners by force". It soon became apparent that the transformation was only an excuse to extort money. They instructed everyone that whoever paid 2,000 Yuan could go home immediately.
MENG Qingxi's entire family practices Falun Gong. They had been fined more than twenty thousand yuan since last year. They already owed heavy debts and had difficult lives. They weren't able to collect enough money after visiting all of their relatives and friends.
The town government personnel forced them to go home to borrow more money during the day, and then took them back to the law office at night for "study and transformation". If they couldn't borrow money during the day, they would be brutally tortured at night.
MENG and his wife and the other over twenty Dafa practitioners spent almost 60 such nights and days in the law office.
On the night of November 20, government personnel beat MENG Qingxi to death. Then they accused MENG Qingxi of "fearing labor education" and accused him of "committing suicide for fear of punishment." They tried to confuse people and cover up their evil deeds by propagating this rumor.
After MENG was beaten to death, the town government forced cremation and buried him. The thugs were afraid that if people saw his horrible-looking body, they would know he was beaten to death.
The town government is monitoring MENG Qingxi's family 24 hours a day and does not allow them to contact the outside.
Agency France Presse reported the case.
