Pregnant Woman Harrassed by Police in Hebei Province

At around 9:00 p.m. on July 3, 2008, a woman shouted from the window of her home in Jinma Neighborhood, Yuhua District in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, "My name is Mi Xiaozheng, and I am seven months pregnant! A group of police officers want to ransack my home, saying it's for the 'safety of the Olympics.' They detained me more than one year in 2006, deprived me of sleep for nearly ten days, beat and cursed me, and forced me to write a guarantee statement. They harassed me in 2007, threatened my family, and caused me extreme mental pressure, which resulted in a miscarriage. They are now here again. Folks, please come take a look!"

The police officers gathered in her apartment came downstairs. One of them shouted from the street up to her window, saying that Ms. Mi should write a guarantee statement. The shouting disturbed the neighbors, and the officers left with so many people watching.

Ms. Mi Xiaozheng, 30, was a student in the Civil Engineering Department of Chongqing University. After the persecution began, she had to suspend her studies due to her firm belief in Falun Gong. In 2000, officers from the Donghuan (formerly Yudong) Police Station ransacked her home multiple times, harassed her, and forced her to leave home to avoid being persecuted. She was illegally arrested in 2002 and again in 2005, detained in brainwashing centers, and endured inhumane tortures such as sleep deprivation, was pressured to write statements to accept their brainwashing, and was beaten, cursed, and insulted.

In September 2007, officer Lan Xinhua (male) from Donghuan Police Station and the CCP secretary Wang Ling (female) in local neighborhood administration office, harassed Ms. Mi's family, and tried to force them to write a guarantee statement with the excuse that the CCP's 17^th Congress was going on. This intense harassment caused extreme mental pressure on Ms. Mi, who was two months pregnant. She had a miscarriage soon after.

On the evening of July 3, 2008, Lan Xinhua led a group of officers and came to her home again. Ms. Mi had already gone to bed, but her mother let them in. They ransacked their living room and her parents' bedroom, and wanted to enter Ms. Mi's bedroom. Her mother begged them not to disturb her, but they kept questioning her mother.

There have been increasing incidents of persecution in the past two months in Shijiazuang City, and many practitioners have been arrested and their homes ransacked, with the excuse that it is for "safety and stability" with the Olympics approaching.

Two Teachers Arrested and Beaten in Dongfeng County, Jilin Province

On the morning of June 28, 2008, when two Falun Gong practitioners, Ms. Ha Jingbo and Ms. Jiang Ruoling, teachers at the 4th Middle School in Dongfeng County, Jilin Province, were distributing truth-clarification fliers in Dayang Town, they were illegally arrested by police officers from Dayang Town Station.

After the practitioners were brought to the station, the officers took "confessions" by force. Four police officers, among them Wang Gang took notes, while Sun Zhiqiang fingerprinted Ms. Ha and Ms. Jiang. The two practitioners remained silent while the police chief Du Yongri cursed them and hit them in the face out of frustration. When Du Yongri noticed that the door was not closed, he simply shut the door, and continued to punch and kick Ms. Ha and Ms. Jiang.

The practitioners were beaten viciously. After taking their pictures for identification, several officers dragged them off by their hair. During that procedure, Du Yongri kicked them and beat them in particularly sensitive parts of the body, including the fingers.

Later, Ms. Ha and Ms. Jiang were taken to the Dongfeng County Police Department. At 12:00 p.m., they were taken to the Dongfeng County Detention Center. Although many people at the detention center knew them because they had been there before, nobody recognized Ms. Ha and Ms. Jiang because they had been beaten beyond recognition by the officers.
