(Clearwisdom.net) For the past 11 years, the 610 Offices across China have been brutally persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. A recent arrest of two practitioners in Shenyang City once again reveals the evilness of the 610 Office.
Around 2:00 p.m. on September 29, 2010, practitioners Ms. Wang Min and Ms. Liu Shulan from Shenbei New District went shopping at Qilin Supermarket on Xinchengzi Street. When they were about to leave, a group of police officers suddenly showed up and forced them into a police car. The practitioners were then taken to the Domestic Security Division, where they were subjected to an aggressive body search and were detained separately.
Prior to the arrest, officers from the 610 Office in Shenbei New District and the Domestic Security Division had been secretly following Ms. Wang and Ms. Liu for several days, deliberately waiting until it was close to October 1 to take action.
Later, police officers from the Domestic Security Division ransacked the practitioners' homes, confiscating Falun Gong books, truth-clarification materials and their computers and printers.
When Ms. Wang was arrested, she shouted out loud, "Falun Dafa is good" to the bystanders on the street. The police quickly drove off to the Xinchengzi Street Police Station and locked the practitioners in metal cages.
It has been reported that a lot of new officials just took office in Shenbei New District, including the Party secretary and Chief Executive. In order to establish political achievement and merits, these officials are actively persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. This is a very common means that the communist regime uses to continue the persecution: after some officials come to understand the truth and aren't willing to cooperate in the persecution, the regime will replace them with a new group of officials, seducing them with power and money to continue the persecution.
The police interrogated Ms. Wang and Ms. Liu for several hours, until midnight, at the Xinchengzi Police Station. Instead of answering their questions, Ms. Wang and Ms. Liu kept clarifying the truth of Falun Gong to them. In the end, the officers forced both practitioners into a police car and took them to the Shenyang City Detention Center, miles away.
The detention center refused to accept Ms. Wang and Ms. Liu as they had not had a physical examination. The police officers then had to take both of them to the Shenyang 739 Hospital. There Ms. Wang was diagnosed with breast cancer. The officers and doctors at the detention center said, "We can't take a patient like this; let her go home." However, the police still wouldn't release Ms. Wang, and instead they took her back to the Xinchengzi Police Station and locked her up in a metal cage. The 610 Office insisted on detaining Ms. Wang in the police station.
Despite the diagnosis obtained from the Shenyang 739 Hospital and the detention center, the next morning, the police officers took Ms. Wang to another local hospital. The doctors there said, "She has late stage breast cancer, we can't cure her so you should bring her to Shenyang [to a bigger hospital]."
Although Ms. Wang had been diagnosed with breast cancer by three different hospitals, the 610 Office instructed the police to send her to the notorious Shenyang Zhangshi Brainwashing Center. After the doctors at the Brainwashing Center checked Ms. Wang's health condition, they also refused to accept her.
In the end, the 610 Office had to release Ms. Wang Min. Currently, the police are still monitoring Ms. Wang every day.
At present, Ms. Liu Shulan is detained at the Shenyang Detention Center.
Prior persecution of Ms. Wang Min
Ms. Wang Min, 50 years old, was the gym teacher at the No. 3 Elementary School in Shenbei New District. She was illegally sentenced to five years in the Liaoning Women's Prison and released in 2007. Because she was fired from her teaching job, Ms. Wang is unemployed and has had no income since then.
Prior persecution of Ms. Liu Shulan
Ms. Liu Shulan, also around 50 years old, is a retired worker. In 1999, she went to Beijing to appeal for justice, but was arrested and persecuted at the Longshan Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City.
Because of Ms. Liu's recent arrest, there is no one to take care of her 90-year-old mother, as well as her daughter-in-law, who is about to give birth. The persecution carried out by the Shenbei New District 610 Office also brings great pain and hardship to the practitioners' families.
