12. [Fukang City, Xinjiang] Ms. Zhao Wanqing Facing Prison Sentence
Ms. Zhao Wanqing, who is in her 40s, is employed at Fukang City Agriculture Technology Application Center in Xinjiang. She was arrested at work on April 1, 2010, by director Ren Yi and Lei Xuefeng from Urumqi City Cult Prevention Division and Bai Gang, chief of Fukang City Public Security Bureau Domestic Security Division. That same evening, they took her to Shuimogou District Women's Detention Center in Liudaowan, Urumqi, which is 60 kilometers away from Fukang City. Ms. Zhao has been held there for nine and half months.
Her son is a middle school student and they rely on each other to earn enough to live. Her arrest was a blow to him financially as well as emotionally. It is said that her arrest was instigated by Fang Yong, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) secretary where she worked, and Min Liping, who Fang Yong arranged to watch Ms. Zhao. They falsely accused Ms. Zhao of sending text messages clarifying the facts about Falun Gong, for which they still do not have any solid proof.
Urumqi City Court was supposed to hold a trial for Ms. Zhao on October 6, 2010. Her lawyer and family went to the courthouse, but her trial was canceled because the wrong person was brought in. At the trial on October 20, the lawyer hired for Ms. Zhao overturned two charges that the prosecution had fabricated. The court did not reach a verdict and announced that they would submit her case to higher authorities. It has been three months, but there has been no further information.
Ms. Zhao was sent to a forced labor camp for a term of three years in 2001 for distributing informational materials clarifying the facts about Falun Gong. Her husband was also put in prison because of his belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Their child was not even three years old at that time and their elderly parents had to take care of him/her.

13. [Fukang City, Xinjiang] Mr. Wang Junqiang Sentenced to Forced Labor
Mr. Wang Juqiang, in his 40s, is a technician from Fukang City Land Resource Bureau Ziniquanzi Management Institute in Xinjiang. His colleague turned him in for having several informational DVDs about Falun Gong in his dorm room. The Fukang City 610 Office directed Domestic Security Division chief Bai Gang to arrest Mr. Wang on September 27, 2010. Mr. Wang was sent to Wujiaqu Forced Labor Camp on October 27 for a term of two years.
Mr. Wang has been arrested, detained, beaten, and undergone brainwashing many times since the CCP began to persecute Falun Gong. He spent seven years in prison and suffered tremendously both physically and mentally. His happy family of three was also destroyed by the CCP, which is why he now lives in a dorm. Yuan Jian, CCP secretary of Fukang City Land Resource Bureau, actively collaborates with the 610 Office and arranged Ziniquanzi Management Institute director Ma Xuguang and Mr. Wang's colleagues to monitor Mr. Wang. They search his room at will, and his human rights and property right can be infringed upon at any time.
