Mr. Guan Zhaoqi, male, fifty years old, lives in the Ranghulu District of Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. He was the deputy director of the Daqing Petroleum Material Company’s Anti-Corrosion Pipeline Factory. On January 1, 2001, he went to Beijing to appeal to the government to stop the persecution of Falun Gong. He was later detained at the Fangshan District Detention Center in Beijing for twenty-one days. There he was brutally beaten, leaving the right side of his right leg from the buttock to the knee black and blue. Even a month later, he required support while walking. On January 23, 2001, his work unit brought him back and forced his family to pay 7,000 Yuan. On September 6, 2002, the director of the Daqing City Public Security Bureau, along with more than ten others, broke into Mr. Guan's house. They arrested and detained him for fifteen days at the boarding house of the Security Bureau. On September 20, Mr. Guan was transferred to the Daqing City Detention Center. On March 25, 2003 a secret trial was held at the Daqing Ranghulu District Court, and he was sentenced to six years in prison. On June 3, 2003, he was sent to the Daqing Prison. Due to a tight blockade on information, and because his family is not allowed to visit him, his situation is still unknown.
