(Clearwisdom.net) The Xian Worker's Sanatorium (Xian Worker's Hospital) has persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners since 2001. Brainwashing sessions for persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners were established by the Xian Public Security Bureau and Safety Bureau under the guidance of the Xian 610 Office. Xian 610 Office Brainwashing Center was located in the Shanxi Province Worker's Sanatorium before 2001.
The Xian Public Security Bureau has delivered orders to its subordinates that Falun Dafa practitioners arrested by public security sub-bureaus and police stations are no longer to be questioned at their local area, but must be sent to brainwashing centers. The centers have been turned into places where confessions are forced using torture.
The Xian Worker's Sanatorium is divided into two gardens. One is called the "Osmanthus Garden" and the other one is the "Palm Garden." The "Osmanthus Garden" is a brainwashing center established and monitored by the Xian 610 Office. Here, Chinese Communist Party members force practitioners to watch videos and read books that defame Falun Dafa, write statements of "transformation," and conduct continual mental torture. They lock practitioners in small solitary cells, deprive them of sleep, subject them to exposure to high intensity light, threaten them, bombard them with propaganda, physically assault them, and put debilitating psychotropic drugs into their food. One male practitioner in his 20's became unable to walk after being persecuted. The authorities force practitioners to pay for the expenses incurred during persecution. Some practitioners' relatives were extorted of huge amounts of money in exchange for the practitioners' release.
The "Palm Garden" was a place temporarily set up to detain Falun Dafa practitioners during the Para-Olympic Games. Several dozen Dafa practitioners were detained there during that period. They released several Dafa practitioners after the games, but the majority were transferred to the "Osmanthus Garden." They have not been released to this day.
The "Palm Garden" has now become a place where the Public Security Bureau secretly detains and questions people. The guards there are plainclothes public security personnel, and the windows and curtains are kept shut. The practitioners there are cut off from the outside world, suffering various tortures such as wearing handcuffs and shackles or having their hands cuffed behind their backs for long periods of time. Practitioners are sent to forced labor or torture at the whim of the public security officers there.
In September 2005, the National Security Team leader for Yanta Public Security Sub-Bureau of Xian City, Yan Meiming, and Dou Xiaozhou ransacked Ms. Li Changying's home and arrested her. They then sent her to the Changan District Worker's Sanatorium. The guards in the brainwashing center took turns threatening her and attempting to trick her. Later they locked her up in Yanta Detention Center for three months, and then sent her for two years of forced labor re-education in the Xian Women's Forced Labor Camp. Not long after that, Li Changying suffered a recurrence of her old illnesses. Her abdomen and legs suffered from severe swelling, so the labor camp released her.
After she was released, Li Changying became a key person for the Hongyan Community Office to monitor. Chen Shuping, the head of the community, repeatedly monitored and harassed her and her family. After eight years of persecution by the CCP, Li Changying passed away on August 31, 2007.
In February 2004, Ms. Li Zhirong was arrested by the Lianhu Public Security Sub-Bureau and sent to a brainwashing center for over five months. In 2007, police from the State Security Team of Lianhu Sub-Bureau ransacked Li Zhirong's home. They confiscated a lot of Falun Dafa materials and kept her at the brainwashing center for over twenty days.
Not long before the Olympic Games, seven or eight policemen from the National Security Team rushed into Li Zhirong's home and ransacked the place. They took 66-year-old Li Zhirong to the brainwashing center. That was the ninth time she had been arrested by the police.
Ms. Liu Jing, 75, was a physician-in-charge in Xidian Hospital before her retirement. She lives at Renjiazhuang Residential District in Xian City. On March 17, 2008 in the afternoon, CCP members arrested her and took her to the Xian Brainwashing Center in Changan District.
Ms. Jin Rong, 35, was a staff member of the Lishan Electronics Company in Lintong. In August 2002, she was arrested and sent to the brainwashing center at Xian Worker's Sanatorium in Changan County. She endured two stays at the brainwashing center because she refused to renounce her belief. In 2003 before the Chinese New Year, because her workplace refused to bail her out and she refused to be "transformed," people from the public security bureau went to her dormitory and found over 30 truth-clarifying DVDs and printed materials. For that, they sent her for one-year of forced labor.
In mid-October 2003, over twenty Falun Dafa practitioners were detained at the brainwashing center in Xian Worker's Sanatorium at Changan District. The brainwashing sessions lasted three months, but Chen Jie and five other Dafa practitioners were not released because they refused to cooperate.
Xian Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Aiying was reported when distributing truth-clarifying materials in the Armed Police Hospital. The police arrested her and sent her to the local 610 Office. Later, she was taken away by Xinchen Sub-Bureau police officer Zhou Xiaoyu. On April 10, she was sent to Xian Brainwashing Center in Xian Worker's Sanatorium.
Ms. Zhao Jiabi, 70, worked in the fifth department of Xian Public Security Bureau before she retired. Around March 10, 2008, she was taken to the Xian Brainwashing Center at Changan District.
Ms. Zhou Yating, in her forties, is from Hu County, Xian City. The local 610 Office has continually harassed her because she refuses to give up Falun Gong. She was repeatedly arrested and sent for forced labor. Her husband divorced her because he couldn't bear the pressure. She had no place to go, so she had to become homeless. Because she had no income, sometimes she had no food to eat for several days. She was again arrested and taken to Xian Brainwashing Center in Changan County during the Para-Olympic Games. On September 7, she was sent from "Osmanthus Garden" to "Palm Garden" in handcuffs, walking with great difficulty due to all that she has suffered. Her current whereabouts are unknown.
Mr. Qu Xuan, in his thirties, is from Xian City. Because he refused to stop practicing Falun Gong, he was forced to leave home and find a job in Guangzhou after graduating from college. In July 2008, the Guangzhou 610 Office sent him back to the Changan County Brainwashing Center in Xian City. He is still detained to this day.
Ms. Zhou Yanping, in his thirties, is from Yanliang District, Shanxi Province. In 2007, she was arrested when clarifying the facts about Falun Gong. Because she refused to stop practicing Falun Gong, she was sent to Shanxi Women's Forced Labor Camp for a one-year term. In July 2008, the 610 Office sent her again to the Changan Brainwashing Center in Xian City in order to "transform" her. She has not been released to this day.
Ms. Chen Cuizhen, 56, is a retired worker of the Weihe Electric Factory in Xian. She was sent for forced labor three times because she refused to give up Falun Gong. In April 2007, she was again sent for one year and three months of forced labor. In 2008, the 610 Office sent her to the Changan Brainwashing Center one day before her scheduled release. She has not been released to this day.
Ms. Luo Changyun, 55, is from Ankang City, Shanxi Province. She was repeatedly arrested and sent for forced labor because she refused to give up Falun Gong. The Ankong 610 Office arrested her again during the Para-Olympic Games, and she is still detained at the Ankong Detention Center.
The following Falun Dafa practitioners have been arrested and sent to brainwashing centers since 2001:
Nie Aiju, Zhang Xiuying, Du Ju, Chen Cuizhen, Liao Min, Lu Xiuling, Cui Meilian, Zhang Mingliang, Chen Fayuan, Liu Aiying, Xu Zhili, Wang Jiali, Li Guiqing, Chen Mingan, Li Guilan, Li Zhirong couple, Wang Tong, Wang Dong, Huang Rujun, Yan Anfang, Zhou Yanping, Su Haiping, Li Heping, Wang Juan, Jiang Weidong, Qi Ping, Li Xueqing, Zhou Suying, Zhang Xianglian, Song Zhi, Xuan Yanru, Zhang Yunxian, Lan Lan, Chen Baifang. Among them, Chen Cuizhen and Zhang Xianglian were again sent back to Shanxi Women's Forced Labor Camp from the brainwashing center.

Practitioner Got out of the Detention Center After Hunger Strike
(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Zhang Chuanguang was arrested on November 19, 2008. Officers from the National Security Division of the Hua'nan Police Department in Heilongjiang Province made the arrest and took him to the Hua'nan Detention Center. He kept reciting the Fa, practicing the five exercises, sending forth righteous thoughts, and clarifying the facts about Falun Dafa. He often shouted, "Falun Dafa is good" and every time he did this, the detainees followed and shouted after him.
Mr. Zhang was transferred to three different wards during his two weeks of detention. Wherever he went, he clarified the facts and persuaded people to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Many inmates learned the first exercise. One inmate did not shout "Falun Dafa is good" at the beginning. Mr. Zhang had a chat with him and learned that he was detained for injuring his wife. He planned to spend a few years in prison and then kill his wife upon his release. After Mr. Zhang talked to him, he changed his plans and shouted "Falun Dafa is good" from the bottom of his heart. Then, when he appeared in court, his wife dropped the charges against him. This changed his fate altogether. He told other detainees that this benevolent outcome was the result of shouting "Falun Dafa is good" from the bottom of his heart.
After being detained for ten days, Mr. Zhang Chuanguang began a hunger strike. Originally the police had decided to sentence him to one year of forced labor along with Mr. Wen Hongjun. On December 1, police officer Chen Yujun from the Hua'nan National Security Division attempted to send these two practitioners to the Shuihua Forced Labor Camp. On their way, Mr. Zhang shouted on the top of his lungs, "Falun Dafa is good!" As a result, when they arrived in Jiamusi City, the police turned around and returned to Hua'nan Detention Center.
Mr. Zhang continued his hunger strike. His relatives and fellow practitioners all actively joined in helping to rescue him. During the 16 days that he was detained, his mother Ms. Guo Renai, who is also a practitioner, went to the police department 15 times to clarify the facts and request the release of her son. Mr. Zhang's relatives also participated in this rescue activity. Finally, Mr. Zhang Chuanguang was released on the afternoon of December 5, 2008. As they released him, the police attempted to extort two thousand yuan from the family, but Ms. Guo Renai resolutely refused to comply.

Police From Baoqing County, Heilongjiang Province Arrest Nine Falun Dafa Practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) From June 11 to June 23, 2008 610 Office agents from Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang Province conspired with the Party personnel from Baoqing County to arrest nine Falun Dafa practitioners from Baoqing County: Ms. Wang Junhong, Ms. Wang Yarong, Mr. Meng Xianguo, Mr. Jiang Jie, Mr. Tian Xiaoxuan, Mr. Jiang Guifu, Mr. Yu Zhanhong, Mr. Tian Chengjun, and Mr. Liu Junzhong.
On June 11 at 3:00 p.m., Du Zhanyi and Zou Dekuan from the 610 Office of Shuangyashan City, an Internet police officer, Baoqing County Political Security Section Chief Xie Yuntong, an individual with the surname Bai, Wang Xiuli, Wang Xincheng, Du Yunlong, Du Fuxiang, Zhang Ruiguang, and others knocked on a practitioner's door to "check the residency register." Seeing that no one was coming to open the door, Du Zhanyi then climbed over the neighbor's wall to enter and pry open the window. He then opened the door to allow the officers to rush into the residence. They were in plainclothes. Xie Yuntong took the lead, and without showing any ID, they took Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Wang Junhong, Ms. Wang Yarong, Mr. Meng Xianguo, Mr. Jiang Jie, and Mr. Tian Xiaoxuan to the county police department. Since Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Meng Xianguo once exposed Zhang Ruiguang's persecution against his family members, Zhang Ruiguang brutally attacked Mr. Meng on the way there. Ms. Wang Junhong tried to intervene, but she was also attacked by Zhang.
At the county police department, Xie Yuntong allowed several people to beat Mr. Meng Xianguo inside a room. Ms. Wang Yarong (Mr. Meng's wife) was beaten and kicked by a person with the surname Bai from the Baoqing County State Security Division because she tried to stop their vicious behavior. The five practitioners' cell phones were taken away. At just past 5:00 p.m. on June 11, Mr. Jiang Guifu was arrested at home. At 6:00 p.m., Mr. Yu Zhanhong passed by Mr. Jiang Guifu's home while going out, and he was arrested by police waiting nearby to ambush him. Mr. Yu's home was ransacked as well.
The items stolen from Mr. Wang Junhong's home included a high-speed copier, a computerized engraving machine, two color printers, two laptops, several cell phones, 3 electronic books, 3 MP4 and MP3 players, and other consumer items. Mr. Jiang Guifu's computer and printer, among other items, were stolen from his home.
The police imprisoned them at the Baoqing County Detention Center without any detention warrants. Only 15 days later did they then show the detention warrant, which stated they would be detained for 7 days. The police forced them to sign the detention warrant. They have now been imprisoned far past 7 days. While they were imprisoned, Du Fuxiang and Procuratorate public prosecutor Sun Guicheng, supposed law enforcers, actually broke the law by extorting "confessions" by torture, and only one person filed a written report. Mr. Tian Xiaoxuan was interrogated for three days, during which he was not allowed to sleep and forced to sit for long time on the Tiger Bench with shackles on. This kind of torture can cause a person's legs to lose sensation, but no scar will be apparent on the surface.
On June 18, Mr. Tian Chengjun was arrested at home.
At 9:00 a.m. on June 23, the police arrested Mr. Liu Junzhong, who served as the Tax Bureau Chief for Xiaochengzi Town, Baoqing County. They stole his office computer. Mr. Liu's home was ransacked at that time.
Under the Shuangyashan City CCP Secretary Wang Fengchun's direction, these nine practitioners were harshly sentenced. The practitioners filed appeals of "not guilty", requesting their release.

Middle School Teacher Liu Yanlong from Jiaohe, Jilin Province Illegally Arrested
(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Liu Yanlong, a teacher at the First Middle School in Jiaohe, Jilin was arrested at his workplace on November 25, 2008.
On November 25, Pan Honglin, director of the Jiaohe 610 Office along with two officers, entered the First Middle School and illegally arrested Mr. Liu Yanlong. The perpetrators also confiscated Mr. Liu's house key, then ransacked his home. When family members went to the Domestic Security Division to ask about Mr. Liu's status, the officers claimed no knowledge of the incident.
Mr. Liu became a practitioner in1998. After practicing Falun Gong, he quickly recovered from a previous heart condition. In July 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party started to persecute Falun Gong, Mr. Liu traveled to Beijing on December 24, 2000, in order to help share the truth about Dafa. He was arrested and sentenced to three years of forced labor.
After Mr. Liu was released, the Jiaohe Education Committee and 610 Office continued to persecute him by not allowing him to return to work. Mr. Liu refused to adopt a pessimistic attitude, so he filed a work application request for a resumption of his teaching activities. With help from other righteous people, he was allowed to resume teaching. Mr. Liu Yanlong strictly followed the standards of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance as a practitioner throughout his teaching career.
However, personnel from the 610 Office continued to harass Mr. Liu at work. They illegally arrested him in front of a large group of students with the excuse that they needed him for a conference. His current location and condition are not known by his family, nor by the school personnel.
The officials who participated in the persecution include the 610 Office director, Pan Honglin, Bai Mingku from the Politics and Law Committee, and others.

Guards and Inmates in Suihua Forced Labor Camp in Heilongjiang Province Torture Falun Dafa Practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) Many Falun Dafa practitioners are detained in the No.1 Team in Heilongjiang Province Suihua Forced Labor Camp. They are referred to as the "Falun Gong team." Associate Team Leader Liu Wei, Political Instructor Gao Zhonghai, Team Leader Lian Xing, Diao Xuexong, and guards Jin Qingfu, Li Jian, Shi Jian, and Li Xichun have been very cruel to practitioners in the labor camp.
They have tortured practitioners to varying degrees. Some practitioners were hung from a wall while handcuffed behind their backs, and their heads were covered with plastic bags.
They were also burned, force-fed mustard oil, and had cold water poured over their heads. They were forced to sit still on an iron chair and their fingers were burned with cigarettes. Bamboo sticks were shoved under their fingernails, and they were shocked with electric batons and were beaten with rubber sticks. They were kicked, punched, and slapped in the face, forced to stand for a very long time, deprived of sleep, forced to do continuous hard labor, were not allowed to buy food or daily necessaries from a store inside the camp, or to use the bathroom.
Guards also attempted to force practitioners to write the Three Statements, using the excuse that they needed to follow the rules of the labor camp.
Practitioners Bai Shulin, Zhao Dezhi, Wang Chunjiang, Bian Baoli, Song Hongtao, Cao Guodong, Lian Tao, Liu Jingzhou, Wu Hongzhu, Wang Chunyu, Zhan Xingchao, Dong Xuekun, Zhang Chuanxi, Jiang Weimin, Li Shuwen, Han Mingquan, Cui Jinggui, and Wang Boyan have been subjected to different degrees of torture.
In fall of 2007, guard Jin Qingfu ordered the practitioners to sing Chinese Communist Party (CCP) songs. The practitioners refused, so Jin called practitioners Tie Zhijie and Li Yunbiao into his office, handcuffed them, and then beat them.
When Mr. Li came back to his cell, both his head and chest were injured, and he had difficulty breathing and eating.
Mr. Tie's face was swollen, and even after many days, the injuries on his face were still visible. After that, the guards again tried to force them to sing the CCP songs and recite the labor camp rules. They ordered criminal inmates to watch the practitioners, and if they didn't sing loudly enough, they would be beaten. They were not allowed to speak all day long on a daily basis, and were forced to sit on a small stool to restrict their mobility.
Inmates at the labor camp were supposed to take a break after lunch, but practitioners were not allowed a break. Not only that, they had to sit on a stool for more than an hour in the evenings before they could go to bed. Their terms were also extended without cause. One time, after guard Jin Qingfu beat the practitioners and left, criminal inmates continued beating them. This time, the guards that participated in this were Diao Xuesong, Jin Qingfu, and Li Yingjun.
In November 2007, practitioners refused to sing or write or recite anything created by the CCP. Guard Qu Jiantao instigated criminal inmates to torment practitioners psychologically and physically. It was fairly warm inside the room in the winter, but Wei Chunhui ordered criminals to force practitioner Xie Jiezhou (nearly 70 years old) to do physical exercises and stand while wearing a thick winter coat. They also forced him to sing CCP songs, recite labor camp rules, and write the "Three Statements." Mr. Xie was very tired and hot, but he was not allowed to take off his thick winter coat or have a break. As a result, he suffered a great deal both mentally and physically.
In 2007, Mr. Dai Zong was carried to the labor camp because he was already very weak and could hardly stand by himself. Guard Diao Xuesong still forced him to read numbers out loud, sing the CCP songs and recite labor camp rules. He was very nearsighted, so he could not see clearly and some criminals took advantage of him by tripping him on purpose. The collaborators also beat him. He finally couldn't stand up any more, nor could he eat anything, and he became bedridden. The labor camp authorities finally had to notify his family to come to take him home.
At the end of 2007, practitioner Mr. Wang Chunjiang refused to write the so-called "transformation" brochure, which always has words defaming Dafa. He was called by the guards into their offices, where they covered his head with a plastic bag and hung him up. He eventually passed out. The guards responsible for torturing him were Diao Xuesong, Wang Xiaobin, and Li Jian, who also burned his fingers with a lighter.
In June 2008, practitioner Qi Wenbin was allegedly behind in his forced labor quota, so his term was extended by guard Wang Xiaobin. The guard also tortured him so the at he ended up passing out in his cell. His physical condition deteriorated steadily so that he couldn't see certain things, his movement became very slow, and he had difficulty in his bowel movements and in urination. In the end, he could not stand up anymore, and when it was mealtime, it took four people to drag him to eat. The four criminal inmates did not care whether Mr. Qi got hurt or not, so they dragged him any which way. They broke the skin on the backs of his feet, which bled badly.
In July 2008, when practitioner Sheng Yanjun refused to sign a form, he was hung up while handcuffed behind his back and only the tips of his toes touched the ground. Guard Li Jian beat Mr. Sheng and a plastic bag was put over Mr. Sheng's head. The guards who participated in the torture were Long Kuibin, Diao Xuesong, Jin Qingfu, Li Jian, and Wang Xiaobin.
In August 2008, practitioner Ding Xuesen refused to write the so-called Three Statements or wear criminal clothes. He was stripped and hung up while handcuffed behind his back. The guards and criminal inmates also shocked him with electric batons. His bruises were visible for a long time. Guards who participated in torturing him were Diao Xuesong, Jin Qingfu, and others. The criminals involved included Sun Chengfu and Sun Lifeng.
The above are only a few of the people from Suihua Forced Labor Camp involved in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.
They have tortured practitioners to varying degrees. Some practitioners were hung from a wall while handcuffed behind their backs, and their heads were covered with plastic bags.
They were also burned, force-fed mustard oil, and had cold water poured over their heads. They were forced to sit still on an iron chair and their fingers were burned with cigarettes. Bamboo sticks were shoved under their fingernails, and they were shocked with electric batons and were beaten with rubber sticks. They were kicked, punched, and slapped in the face, forced to stand for a very long time, deprived of sleep, forced to do continuous hard labor, were not allowed to buy food or daily necessaries from a store inside the camp, or to use the bathroom.
Guards also attempted to force practitioners to write the Three Statements, using the excuse that they needed to follow the rules of the labor camp.
Practitioners Bai Shulin, Zhao Dezhi, Wang Chunjiang, Bian Baoli, Song Hongtao, Cao Guodong, Lian Tao, Liu Jingzhou, Wu Hongzhu, Wang Chunyu, Zhan Xingchao, Dong Xuekun, Zhang Chuanxi, Jiang Weimin, Li Shuwen, Han Mingquan, Cui Jinggui, and Wang Boyan have been subjected to different degrees of torture.
In fall of 2007, guard Jin Qingfu ordered the practitioners to sing Chinese Communist Party (CCP) songs. The practitioners refused, so Jin called practitioners Tie Zhijie and Li Yunbiao into his office, handcuffed them, and then beat them.
When Mr. Li came back to his cell, both his head and chest were injured, and he had difficulty breathing and eating.
Mr. Tie's face was swollen, and even after many days, the injuries on his face were still visible. After that, the guards again tried to force them to sing the CCP songs and recite the labor camp rules. They ordered criminal inmates to watch the practitioners, and if they didn't sing loudly enough, they would be beaten. They were not allowed to speak all day long on a daily basis, and were forced to sit on a small stool to restrict their mobility.
Inmates at the labor camp were supposed to take a break after lunch, but practitioners were not allowed a break. Not only that, they had to sit on a stool for more than an hour in the evenings before they could go to bed. Their terms were also extended without cause. One time, after guard Jin Qingfu beat the practitioners and left, criminal inmates continued beating them. This time, the guards that participated in this were Diao Xuesong, Jin Qingfu, and Li Yingjun.
In November 2007, practitioners refused to sing or write or recite anything created by the CCP. Guard Qu Jiantao instigated criminal inmates to torment practitioners psychologically and physically. It was fairly warm inside the room in the winter, but Wei Chunhui ordered criminals to force practitioner Xie Jiezhou (nearly 70 years old) to do physical exercises and stand while wearing a thick winter coat. They also forced him to sing CCP songs, recite labor camp rules, and write the "Three Statements." Mr. Xie was very tired and hot, but he was not allowed to take off his thick winter coat or have a break. As a result, he suffered a great deal both mentally and physically.
In 2007, Mr. Dai Zong was carried to the labor camp because he was already very weak and could hardly stand by himself. Guard Diao Xuesong still forced him to read numbers out loud, sing the CCP songs and recite labor camp rules. He was very nearsighted, so he could not see clearly and some criminals took advantage of him by tripping him on purpose. The collaborators also beat him. He finally couldn't stand up any more, nor could he eat anything, and he became bedridden. The labor camp authorities finally had to notify his family to come to take him home.
At the end of 2007, practitioner Mr. Wang Chunjiang refused to write the so-called "transformation" brochure, which always has words defaming Dafa. He was called by the guards into their offices, where they covered his head with a plastic bag and hung him up. He eventually passed out. The guards responsible for torturing him were Diao Xuesong, Wang Xiaobin, and Li Jian, who also burned his fingers with a lighter.
In June 2008, practitioner Qi Wenbin was allegedly behind in his forced labor quota, so his term was extended by guard Wang Xiaobin. The guard also tortured him so the at he ended up passing out in his cell. His physical condition deteriorated steadily so that he couldn't see certain things, his movement became very slow, and he had difficulty in his bowel movements and in urination. In the end, he could not stand up anymore, and when it was mealtime, it took four people to drag him to eat. The four criminal inmates did not care whether Mr. Qi got hurt or not, so they dragged him any which way. They broke the skin on the backs of his feet, which bled badly.

Ms. Hu Jiqin from Songzi City, Hubei Province is Persecuted, Her Family Broken Up
Written by a Dafa practitioner from Hubei Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Hu Jiqin from Songzi City, Hubei Province was subjected to cruel persecution for her belief in Falun Gong and as a result her family was broken up. She is now held in the First Detention Center of Songzi City. Exhausted by the harassment, intimidation and extortion of money by the police, her husband was forced into divorcing her. In addition, her 70-year-old mother was intimidated and jailed for many years by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), causing her death in August 2005.
Ms. Hu Jiqin is a resident of Xinjiangkou Town, Songzi City, Hubei Province. She started to practice Falun Gong in 1998. Before she practiced Falun Gong she suffered from many illnesses including severe anemia, constant dizziness and gastric diseases. In particular, she suffered from a skin ulcer the size of a palm in the back of her neck, for which she resorted to both Chinese and Western treatments without success. She suffered many years from acute pain and itching. After she started to practice Falun Gong in 1998 all of her illnesses were gone in a short period. She then started a wholesale food business. As a Falun Gong practitioner she was always kind to others and her business expanded rapidly. However, after the CCP started to persecute Falun Gong in 1999 she was harassed and intimidated numerous times by local 610 Office officials, the National Security Team, and the police from Shuilu Police Station. The pressure forced her to end her profitable business.
After July 20, 1999, the day the CCP started to persecute Falun Gong nationwide, the directors of the 610 Office of Songzi City (Hu Shouwen, Li Xianjin and others) detained Ms. Hu. They placed her in the First Detention Center for one month and extorted 5,000 yuan from her. Ms. Hu was sentenced to forced labor in Shayang Labor Camp of Hubei Province. After she was released from the labor camp she was sent to brainwashing classes twice by Li Xianjin and others from the Songzi City 610 Office.
To save money for her daughter's university education she worked as an accountant in a private company in Yanglinshi Town, Songzi City. During that time she was harassed numerous times by the 610 Office and the National Security Team. Later, she was arrested and held in the First Detention Center for one month and extorted 5,000 yuan again.
On July 5, 2006 more than ten people, including director of the Songzi Ctiy 610 Office Deng Nian'gui, and police from the Shuilu Police Station, broke into Ms. Hu's home. They arrested and took her to the First Detention Center. She was later sent to a brainwashing class in Wuhan City, Hubei Province.
After Ms. Hu was arrested for the fifth time by Deng Nian'gui and police from Shuilu Police Station, she was sent to the First Detention Center again, where she was placed in a confinement cell and tortured. To keep her awake, the police forced her to stay under a big lamp right above her head for a long time and to sit on her knees on a board with a rough surface. She was not released until her family members paid the police 30,000 yuan.
After she was released from the detention center she went to stay with her sister in Beijing to get a job, but the police learned about her whereabouts. In the middle of April 2008 she was arrested in Beijing and sent to the Songzi City First Detention Center, where she has been held ever since. Her family members were threatened by police not to tell others the details of her current situation. The only thing that we know about her is that she has become crippled.
Ms. Hu's mother Ms. Luo Guangquan had also suffered from many illnesses, including constipation, dizziness, edema over her whole body, and an intestinal malfunction which made her unable to eat. In 1997 she started to practice Falun Gong. As a result her physical condition improved and she was able to start up a small business to make a living. As a Falun Gong practitioner she was always kind to others and her business ran very well.
After the persecution of Falun Gong started, Ms. Luo went to Beijing to tell authorities "Falun Dafa is good", for which she was arrested and sent back to the Songzi City First Detention Center. She was not released until one month later. Later, Den Nian'gui, director of the local 610 Office and Li Xianjin, director of the National Security Team, ordered the police from Shuilu Police Station to harass her on numerous occasions. In particular, Zhang Xuefeng, a policeman from Shuilu Police Station, jumped the fence of Ms. Luo's yard, broke into her home when she was home alone, and yelled at her to intimidate her. Sometimes a single officer would harass her, and sometimes seven or eight officers would climb over the fence and break into her home. One time, Li Xianjin and other police officers from Shuilu Police Station broke into her home, arrested her, and detained her in the First Detention Center for one month. Under constant harassment by the police, Ms. Luo died in August 2005.
We hereby call for the immediate release of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Hu and the return of the 40,000 yuan and property that the Songzi City 610 Office extorted from her. We also call on all kind people to lend their support to help stop the persecution of Falun Gong which has lasted for nearly ten years.
