(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Miao Shujun is a Falun Dafa practitioner from Muling City, Heilongjiang Province. At 8:00 p.m. on November 16, 2005, he was arrested at his own home by four policemen including Zhou Xinsheng, the head of the municipal National Security Division, and Sun Delong from the No. 2 Police Station. He is currently detained at the Suihua Forced Labor Camp.

After Mr. Miao Shujun was arrested, his wife asked Zhou Xinsheng many times to release her husband, as he had committed no crime. Zhou said, "He was reported for spreading Falun Gong." Mr. Miao's wife said, "He just said Falun Gong is good. What crime did he commit?"

Zhou Xinsheng informed Mr. Miao's wife on December 20, 2005, "Miao Shujun is going to the Suihua Labor Camp tomorrow. 500 yuan is required." When rejected, he said 300 yuan was fine too. Mr. Miao's wife still didn't give him any money.

On July 24, 2006, Mr. Miao's wife went to see him for the first time since his arrest. Mr. Miao said that everything was fine and asked his family not to worry about him. However, on the afternoon of September 26, during the family's second visit, Mr. Miao Shujun was unable to walk steadily. He had a hard time taking a step and his face was swollen. He said, "On September 22, I was subjected to beatings. The leader was the policeman Shi Jian. I have headaches, feel dizzy and have severe pains in my chest. I throw up anything I eat. It's becoming worse and worse. They took me for a medical check-up on September 25, but said nothing was wrong."

During the visit, section head Bai, the division head and others were all on the scene, and they tried to stop Mr. Miao Shujun from talking. They threatened him, "What did we say before? If we'd known you would say such things, we wouldn't have allowed the visit." In response to the threat, Mr. Miao Shujun said to his wife, "Go to the judiciary bureau to report my situation. I have been beaten very badly."

Mr. Miao's wife questioned section head Bai. He denied Mr. Miao being beaten and threatened again, "He openly said 'Falun Dafa is good.' We are considering extending his prison term."

Mr. Miao Shujun started practicing Falun Gong in October 1998. He previously suffered from various health problems. After practicing Dafa, he didn't need to rely on medicine anymore and became healthy and energetic. He is now 38 years old and has two children, an eight-year-old and a three-year-old. He is the only wage earner of his family and they have now lost their source of income.
