(Clearwisdom.net) (correspondent from Beijing) On September 11, 2009, Beijing Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Su Wei and Qing Xiuying were arrested by policemen from the Chaoyang Sub-bureau, Beijing, and detained at Chaoyang Detention Center. Currently, they are being held in a forced labor camp.
Su Wei was sentenced to two years and six months of forced labor, and detained at the Beijing Women's Forced Labor Camp. Between September 11, 2003 and September 11, 2009, Su Wei served two forced labor sentences, for a total of five years. This is her third time in a forced labor camp. Su Wei once suffered inhuman torture at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, and was just released from that camp this past February, but she was arrested again by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) personnel on September 11. As a result, her 85 year-old mother became ill, and family members all suffered from her absence.
Beijing Changping practitioner Qing Xiuying was sentenced to two years of forced labor, and will be taken to the Beijing Women's Forced Labor Camp in one week.
Qing Xiuying began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997, and benefited physically and mentally; her breast cancer was completely cured through practicing. She became continually healthier over time, more kind, and all her neighbors knew that she was a good person. During the Cultural Revolution, the CCP made her into a "counter-revolutionary", "bad element"; therefore, she frequently received criticism, then lost her job and source of income. Later, she married a disabled person, and experienced difficultly maintaining a livelihood. Now, her child has married and she has a one year-old grandchild. Her son and daughter-in-law are both unemployed and live under difficult conditions; the entire family depends on her disabled husband's meager retirement pension.
In order to replenish living expenses for the family, Ms. Qing found a simple job next to her home, and had only worked for two months when CCP officials arrested her. On September 11, several policemen from the Chaoyang Sub-bureau, two policewomen in uniform, and several plainclothes officers (plainclothes policemen are often used to arrest practitioners), came to her office and forcibly took her away.
Ms. Qing tried to reason with them and said: "What about Falun Gong? Falun Gong is good!" Several policemen immediately beat her, to prevent her remarks from being heard. The neighbors were unable to continue watching, and one elderly person asked, "How can you policemen beat people?" However, the officers still forcefully arrested Qing Xiuying. Afterwards, two policewomen watched her while several policemen ransacked her home, and confiscated the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, Teacher's photo and Falun Dafa books.
Qing Xiuying was sentenced to two years of forced labor, and officials do not allow her family to visit, informing them: "You can't see her until she transforms; Falun Gong is different from other offenses, she must transform first." Qing Xiuying's husband is disabled and not attended by anyone; there is also a 70 year-old grandmother at home who is very worried, and the whole family is suffering.
