A Brief Report of the Incident:

In February 2000, Mr. You Quanfu was sentenced to forced labor reeducation after going to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong. On October 28th, 2000, 5 days after being released from forced labor reeducation, the local police sent him to Pengzhou city Mental Hospital where he was held for over 20 days. His family appealed his commitment to a mental hospital because he was not mentally ill. On January 27, 2001, the local police once again detained You Quanfu. This time he was sent to a temporary house of detention for two months without any reason. The police confiscated his bankcard while he was in Chengdu Detention Center. His wife was also detained because she practiced Falun Gong. His 4-year-old son died from an electrocution accident because his parents were not there to look after him.
