[Minghui Net] Since July 20, 1999, Dafa practitioners from Zhangjiakou city, Wei county of Hebei province have started their continuous great waves of spreading and validating Dafa. At the same time, they are facing the inhuman persecutions. The ruffians from Chenjiawa countryside, Nuanquan town, Xiheying town, Daiwangcheng town, Wei town of Wei county have insanely suppressed Dafa practitioners. The following is just a partial record of their brutality towards Dafa practitioners.
Geng Yulin, a female about 35 years old from Xiayuanzao village of Chenjiawa practiced Falun Gong for one year and two months. Since Jiang Zemin' has directed a crackdown on Falun Dafa, the vicious government officials forced her to "guarantee" to stop practicing Falun Dafa. In the mid March of 2000, she left for a business trip. Zhang Huai, the secretary of country discipline inspection committee suspected that she went to Beijing to appeal. The committee sent two cadres from the village to force her husband to borrow 5,000 Yuan (10 months salary for an average Chinese urban laborer) to pay a 'deposit'. After she returned from the business trip, she went to the village office a few times to request to get the 'deposit' back. But the village officials refused to return her money.
Having no choice, she went to Beijing in April to appeal and report her situation to higher officials. After she left, Zhang Huai and his accomplices tricked her kids into opening the door while her husband was absent. They took away her color television, VCD, tricycle, motorcycle, bicycle and all her personal belongings. After Geng Yulin returned, the ruffians turned her in to the village government. She was handcuffed during the entire month of detainment. Later, she found a chance to escape but was scared to return home because of the ruffian's vicious actions.
Towards the end of December, she was determined to go to Beijing again to appeal. After returning, she was persecuted even more viciously. Policeman Li Qinglong shocked her continuously with 2 electric batons. She lost her consciousness a few times. The next day, he hit the back of her hands with a bamboo ferule. Her hands were swollen and the entire back of her hands were covered with bruises. She became as skinny as a stick and very weak. The brutal persecution of kindhearted people raised concern and anger from the villagers. Nearly a thousand people surrounded the village cadre's car and asked justice for Geng Yulin. Under the fierce condemnation from the people, the village officials returned all the property to her. They also found a scapegoat to asuage people's anger. As a result, the Assistant Secretary Ma Youren of Xiayuanzao village was dismissed.
A female practitioner with the last name of Duan has a barbershop in Nuanquan county. During the time when the ruffians wanted to brainwash her, they detained her from her house and accused her of 'disturbing social stability'. She was sent to prison twice. During the summer of 2000, she went to "610" office (an office set up to persecute Falun Gong) in Wei county to appeal for Falun Gong and tried to reason with them. She delivered a letter to the office. However, she was caught and returned to the village. The cadre beated, kicked and slapped her face as a way of educating her. Her face was swollen and bruised all over. Her husband was not a Falun Dafa practitioner but was arrested and brutally beaten many times at the village committee office. They even illegally closed her barbershop for a long time.
In July of 2000, a brainwashing class was opened at Xingbian of Nuanquan county. After the class ended, they blackmailed each practitioner a class fee of 200 Yuan. A female practitioner from Guangming village of Nuanquan county, was very poor and could not pay the fee. Consequently, the cadres snatched a mother goat from her house and sold it for money. The cadres from Nuanquan county are: Chong Jinjun, Song Jinku, Shi Jianli, and Li Fei.
In March of 2000, about 20 practitioners from Xiji village in Xiheying town of Wei county were illegally locked into a room at the village committee. Among those imprisoned were two ladies aged sixty and an eighty years old and a young pregnant woman. They were forcibly brainwashed. One female practitioner did not arrive on time. Since they were not able to find the practitioner, Si Juncheng, the town cadre who controlled the village, brutally beat her husband. The female cadre, Chen Xilin, forced female practitioners to kneel on the ground and slapped their faces left and right. On the third day of the brainwashing class, the lawless cadre of Bao village forced the practitioners' relative to pay money. The families were scared of further beating to their relatives so they quickly borrowed money to 'redeem' their family members. After some time, the relatives asked for a reimbursement of their deposit but the cadre only returned a small portion of it.
In July of 2000, another brainwashing class was opened. This time, they beat up the practitioners one by one, handcuffed and shocked them with electric batons. In addition to this, more than 20 cadres gathered of Xiheying town got together and illegally ransacked practitioners' homes one by one during the night. The entire village quickly became concerned and uneasy over the crooked act of the ruffians. At night, the ruffians locked up Dafa practitioners in a coal room where they did not even have a place to sit. After the third day, the few practitioners who refused to condemn Dafa were illegally taken to a brainwashing class; there the ruffians tortured practitioners in many ways. Each day only 4 to 6 ounces of food were given to practitioners. They forced them to kneel on bricks, hold their hands raised-up for a very long time, stretched out both arms and placed bricks on the arms. After a month, when the practitioners were released to go home, they had to pay an unreasonable cost of 25 Yuan as daily meal charges.
Two practitioners legally went to appeal. One practitioner was illegally fined 2600 Yuan. The house of the other practitioner's brother was ransacked and all property was stolen. Her brother was beaten twice and was shocked with electric baton. The cadres in the town threatened: "Practicing Falun Gong will affect all relatives!" This was the real truth of their statement that they were only "assisting, educating and transforming." The Wei county was exceptionally hot during the summer of 2000. The downfall of human would results in the drying up of heaven and the drought on land...
