  • Liaoning Practitioner Arrested - Her 16-Year-Old Daughter Threatened and Harassed by Police

    Ms. Lin Haiqing, 38, lived at Xinhui supermarket of Chaoyang City. In March 2006, policemen from the Xiangyang Police Station arrested her while she was clarifying the truth about Falun Gong. Her home was ransacked, and the police confiscated a Falun Gong book and one thousand yuan. On May 20, Lin Haiqing was sent to Shenyang City. After she was arrested, police from the Xiangyang Police Station extorted 50 thousand yuan from her family, yet she was not released.

    Lin Haiqing's daughter, Wang Yue, 16, is a student of the Third High School of Chaoyang City. At around 3:40 p.m. on May 21, 2006, a policeman from Xiangyang Police Station called her and wanted her to send a 500 yuan fee, for transporting her mother to Shenyang City. Wang Yue refused the request. The policeman said, "Wait for me, I am coming to your home." Wang Yue and her father were at their home (her father is a supervisor for contract workers at another place). He asked Wang Yue to hide, but she refused. After a while, two policewomen and a policeman arrived. They asked Wang Yue if she practiced Falun Gong. She answered, "Yes." They said, "You will come with us later." In addition, they threatened Wang Yue's classmate that if she practiced Falun Gong, she should also go with them. Her classmate said, "Why should I go with you, I haven't done anything wrong." The policewomen and policeman wanted to take the computer from Wang Yue's home. Wang Yue's father said, "If you want to take the computer away, return the 50 thousand yuan." They said, "The money has all been spent by People's Police." They handcuffed the 16-year-old Wang Yue and took her to the Xiangyang Police Station. Given no choice, Wang Yue's father brought 500 yuan to bail out his daughter in the evening.

    Wang Yue's father had to go to away to work, so he sent her to her aunt's home. The police arrived there and threatened her aunt's family. Wang Yue's relatives were so scared that no one was willing to help her. Her father could only reserve a room for her at Chaoyang Friendship Hotel at a cost of 80 yuan per day. Still, the police would not give up, and a policewoman was arranged to follow and monitor Wang Yue. Under the threats and harassments from the police, Wang Yue had no way out. On May 27, she went to Daling River and even considered suicide, as her only way to escape the unreasonable pestering of the police. Fortunately, her classmates and their family members found out and rushed there to stop her. (Note: Suicide is against the principles of Falun Gong. Practitioners need to cherish their lives, in order to complete their missions of clarifying the truth and saving people.) After that, the police still did not stop harassing her. They forced her to disclose all the people she has contact with. As of May 29, Wang Yue has not gone to school for several days. Currently, the police are investigating Wang Yue's contacts and classmates. A plainclothes policeman from Xiangyang Police Station has been arranged to monitor Wang Yue and collect Wang Yue's information from the security guard. The police intend to further persecute Wang Yue.

    While one police officer was harassing Wang Yue, he (or she) broke her cell phone and removed the calling card, then installed it in his (or her) own cell phone.



    Four Cases of Missing Falun Gong Practitioners in Shandong, Hubei, Lioaning and Guizhou Provinces

    Ms. Ding Yan Missing Since 2000

    Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Ding Yan was an employee of Longwangzhunag Radio Station in Laiyang City, Shandong Province. She went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in 2000, and has not been heard from since.

    Ms. Liu Yaya Missing Since 2001

    Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Liu Yaya, 24, lived in the Seventh Group, Guanmiao Village, Zhengchang Town, Xiantao City, Hubei Province. She graduated from the Jinmen City Petroleum Chemical Engineering School in Hubei Province, and worked in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province in 2001. She called her home in May 2001, while on her way to Beijing to appeal, but hasn't been heard from again.

    Ms. Zhao Lixuan

    Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhao Lixuan lived in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, and her original home was at the Chemical Engineering New Eight Block, Huludao City, Liaoning Province. She left home to appeal in Beijing in October 2001, but never returned. Her family has looked for her in every prison in the Northeast region, but has not found her.

    Mr. Fan Zhiqiang Missing Since 2002

    Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Fan Zhiqiang, 35, an office worker employed by the Maocaopu Mechanical Parts Factory in Guizhou Province, had to leave home in 2002 to avoid being arrested, but has been missing ever since.


    Exposing the Persecution Crimes in Baimalong Women's Forced Labor Camp in Hunan Province

    The 7th Group of Baimalong Women's Forced Labor Camp is a team specialized in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. It includes three teams. The 1st Squadron detains practitioners who are imprisoned for the first or second time. The 2nd Squadron detains practitioners who have been imprisoned for the first time and who have been "transformed" by force. The 3rd Squadron is a strictly controlled team.

    No matter which team they are in, practitioners are all under strict surveillance and close management. Every action and movement—eating, using the restroom, using the sink, taking a shower, etc—are all strictly controlled. The guards arrange for criminal drug-addict and sex offender inmates to monitor each practitioner around the clock.

    Practitioners are forced to perform slave labor. Those who refuse are berated on the spot, forced to stand for extremely long periods of time, and not allowed to use the restroom, drink water, or take a shower. Moreover, their terms in the labor camp are extended. Practitioner Ms. Hu Xiaoxian was released only after her term had been extended by more than four months; Ms. Lei Jianli has not yet been released even though her term is past due; and Ms. Duan Xiaoying was detained several more months after her term expired. Ms. Zeng Liping was supposed to be released in October 2005, but she was imprisoned for several more months. She was not released until she had become very weak after a two-month hunger strike. Ms. Zhu Guilin’s term was increased by several more months. Ms. Sui Yuxiang, Ms. Lu Yuzhu, and Ms. Liu Juhua were not released after their terms had expired. They were inhumanly force-fed when they went on hunger strikes.

    My term was to expire on April 23. They transferred me to the 1st cell in the 3rd Squadron on March 28, where there were three evil people on duty. As soon as I entered the door, they impatiently wanted me to write a guarantee statement, which they had already composed in advance. They demanded that I write a copy without leaving out one word and without changing one single character. When I paid no attention to them, they started to beat me, claiming that it was a demonstration of their authority. They also forced me to watch many brainwashing videotapes. I did not open my eyes, so then they hit me again. At first they hit me with their hands. Lei Xiaoling, a wicked woman, said that her hands had become too sore from beating me. Then they used plastic shoes to slap my face, eyes, ears, and mouth. As a result, my upper lip was hugely swollen, and my ears were bleeding. Having beaten me, the evil woman Li Ying again demanded that I write the guarantee, saying that I should do so if I wanted to avoid more torture. She said that this was just the beginning, and that there had been no one so far who hadn’t written the statement after she entered this room. I paid no attention to her. Then she forced me to squat down onto a fixed floor brick to watch a videotape full of fabricated lies. The brick was just a little over 30 centimeters (12 inches) in size. I was not allowed to step beyond a drawn line, and I was supposed to crouch there with my hands on my knees, or be beaten. I was wounded all over yet I was not allowed to speak out. I asked them, "Why do you beat me?" Li Ying said, "You don’t know what ‘attack team’ means, do you? (i.e. "to make you surrender by ruthlessness, beatings, and force.) No one would know if someone was killed here." They forced me to kneel down. I requested to stand for a while. Lei Xiaoling said, "You are not allowed to stand. I know you can stand. Some (of you practitioners) can stand for several hours. If you’re afraid of squatting, write (the guarantee) quickly." I said that force couldn’t change people's minds. Li Ying said, "(We) do not want your heart but just your surface. It’s all unimportant, no matter whether you write it voluntarily, or we force you by holding your hand to write, or we write by fabricating lies."

    People brought to No. 3 Team of the Seventh Division for persecution often changed. The police frequently brought practitioners imprisoned in Teams 1 and 2 to Team 3 to severely persecute them. Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Liu Juhua was under "intensified" persecution there three times. Each time she left, her face was covered with wounds. The length of intensified persecution varied from twelve days to several months. As soon as I got out, an older woman, Ms. Yang Sanchun, who was 68 years old, was confined in the No. 1 room. Li Ying told me that as soon as one person leaves, another steadfast one comes in. She said that the room always had someone in residence.

    Because of its policy of "educate, influence and save," the labor camp has deceived many everyday people. Seen from the surface, the guards did not beat people, and they didn’t get involved in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. In reality, they planned, controlled, and manipulated all the evil deeds. Sometimes practitioners’ fingers were bundled together with a string and were then rubbed with a very rough stick, which made the fingers bleed a lot. Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhou Xiaohong was tortured like this. Several people held her hand to write the "three guarantees." The guards forced Ms. Hu Xiaoxian to sit on the building floor in the wind during the cold winter at temperatures of 3 to 4 degrees (Celsius) below zero (25-27° F). In the summer at temperatures as high as 40 degrees (Celsius) (104° F), seven Falun Gong practitioners were laid out on the ground to be exposed to the baking sun. Among them was Ms. Li Jumei. As a result of forced-feeding, Ms. Zeng Liping’s front teeth were knocked out in 2004. Boiling water was mixed with gruel at temperatures of 80 degrees (Celsius) (176° F) and poured onto the face of Ms. Jiang Meilan. In 2004, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Hu Dongxia from Xiangtan had her foot broken. After she became disabled, her family strongly requested her release on bail for medical treatment.

    Ms. Zhou Aihua suffered inhumane tortures. She was beaten with a small stool until the stool broke. She was injured all over. They held a long coffee table right on top of her head and pinched her throat with their hands. Six or seven people held her hand and forced her to write the three statements. She complied as a result of this brutal, inhumane treatment. The guards secretly directed murderers to torment practitioners, frequently adopting the party’s "false, wicked and violent" measures. They used deceit, pretending to be ignorant, as if they didn’t know about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. In order to flatter the guards, the inmates that had committed murder persecuted practitioners with high-pressure, just to gain a little personal profit. When persecuting Ms. Zhou Aihua, guard He Yulian said, "Do whatever you can to her as long as you don’t kill her." Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Li Qing was persecuted until she was mentally traumatized, but they still beat her mercilessly every day.

    Here, I am exposing the inhumanity and brutality in Baimalong Women's Forced Labor Camp. What I saw and know is just a tip of the iceberg. There are still many more Falun Gong students who have been wounded, crippled, or killed. So far the exact number is not known. There are many Falun Gong practitioners suffering from the evil persecution every day.

    Falun Gong practitioners illegally imprisoned in the seventh Division currently include: Ms. Liu Muhong, Ms. Lei Jianli, Ms. Zhu Guilin, Ms. Jiang Xinghua, Ms. Liu Xueqin, Ms. Liu Yuwei, Ms. Liu Juhua, Ms. Lu Yuzhu, Ms. Wang Manyu, Ms. Zhou Aihua, Ms. Wen Huiying, Ms. Yang Sanchun, Ms. Duan Xiaoying, Ms. Li Qing, Ms. Li Jiaju, Ms. Liu Kaihua, Ms. Wang Jianyun, and Ms. Sui Yuxiang. (There are others whose names are unknown.)
