Practitioner Ms. Wang Simei from Beihai City, Guangxi Province has been frequently harassed, intimidated, arrested, detained and held in labor camp(s) by National Security Bureau agents, police officers, and officials from the street Party Committee in the past several years.

Officials from the Yihaixincun Residential Party Committee and from the Jianshe Police Department ransacked Wang Simei’s home on July 21, 1999. They ransacked her home again on September 14 and took her to the city police department. She was held there for 24 hours before being transferred to the No. 2 Detention Center in Beihai City, to be held for 15 days. She was arrested again in December 1999 and the police stole 600 yuan in cash from her. The officials ransacked her home another time and extorted 1,700 yuan from her family. They later sent her to the No. 1 Detention Center in Beihai City and held her there for 40 days.

Ms. Wang Simei’s home was ransacked for the fourth time in June 2000. She was arrested and held at the No 1. Detention Center for 15 days and was arrested again on July 11 and detained for another 15 days at the No. 1 Detention Center. When Wang Simei returned to her mother’s home, she and her husband were arrested and taken to the Longtan Police Station, where they were held for two days before being transferred to Xitang Town to be held for one more day.

Officials from the Haicheng District Comprehensive Administration Office demanded 5,000 yuan from Wang Simei’s family on October 11, 2000, but the family refused to pay the money. Wang Simei was then held at the No. 1 Detention Center for 31 days before being sentenced to three years of forced labor. When the term was over, her term was extended by eight and a half months. Officials from the local CCP (Chinese Communist Party) committee often harassed her after her release.
