Shang Xiaodong, Yin Jun and Zhang Fengqin in Changchun City Illegally Sentenced to Forced Labor

On March 5, Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Shang Xiaodong, Ms. Yin Jun, Ms. Zhang Fengqin, and Ms. Yao Meiling, were arrested by Changchun City Police Department and Nanguan District Precinct. The following day they were taken to the 3rd Detention Center of Changchun City. A month later, Mr. Shang, Ms. Yin, and Ms. Zhang were then illegally sentenced to forced labor without their families being notified.

Their families came to look for them, but were not let in. The police did not give their families any documents and did not allow them to visit. When their families went to the Nanling Police Station to ask for their bank cards, cell phones, and computers, the police would not give them back. They even claimed that the case was not closed yet, and they wanted to arrest more practitioners by monitoring their cell phones.

Nanling Police Station kept Ms. Zhang Fengqin's bank card and would not give it back to her family, saying that they thought other practitioners had given her the money. In fact, the funds are from Ms. Zhang's personal salary.

For now, Ms. Zhang and Ms. Yin are detained in the 2nd Ward of Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp. Mr. Shang was detained in Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp.
