(Clearwisdom.net) Because Ms. Wang Yuchuan is a determined follower of Falun Gong, she has been frequently targeted by agents of the Chinese Communist party. On June 28, 2011, officers from Zhaogezhuang Police Station in Guzhi District, Tangshan City, took her to the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp. Without notifying her family, police officers later transferred her to the Shijiazhuang Women's Forced Labor Camp in July. She has been tortured in the Camp since her arrival.
Ms. Wang was a physician at Zhaogezhuang Hospital owned by Kailuan Medical Group in Tangshan. She has been practicing Falun Dafa since August 1998.
1. Three Years and Eight Months of Illegal Detention
Ms. Wang was arrested when she went to Beijing to clear the name of Falun Dafa on February 21, 2000. She spent three years and eight months in detention at the following facilities: Guzhi Detention Center, Ankang Hospital in Tangshan, Brainwashing Center in the Textile University, and the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp. During that time she was threatened, brutally beaten, force fed, shocked with electric batons, forced to stand or squat for extended periods of time, and deprived of sleep. Once, while being force fed, the feeding tube went into her trachea and she almost suffocated to death.

When she was in the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in August 2001, Ms. Wang was deprived of sleep for a whole month. She was incoherent and often fell asleep when using the toilet. Because she was forced to stand for extended periods of time, her feet became severely swollen and one heel caused her great pain. Seeing that Ms. Wang still refused to give up her belief in Falun Dafa, the guards slapped her face until it was grotesquely swollen. They also shocked her with electric batons, which felt like the jabbing of millions of needles—the pain was excruciating.

2. Detained For 22 Days the During Beijing Olympics
On the day before the Beijing Olympics opened, August 7, 2008, Ms. Wang was apprehended and taken to Zhaogezhuang Reception House. There, she was locked up for 22 days and was not allowed to go to work or visit her parents. Seven people took turns watching her night and day. Agents of the Kailuan 610 Office, and Kan Zhisheng and Liu Jianguo, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) secretary and deputy secretary at Kailuan Medical Group respectively, ordered the abduction to prevent her from going to Beijing to publicly appeal for Falun Gong. After that, she was allowed to go back to work. However, the hospital ordered her to keep her cell phone on at all times and to answer their nightly call making sure that she was home.
3. Police Invade Her Home and Arrest Her
Police officers from the Zhaogezhuang Police Station pried Ms. Wang's door open one night in November 2010. They took her computer, DVD player, digital camera, MP3 player, Falun Dafa books, and other valuables. An officer, last name of Mou, said to her, “The laws don't matter when it comes to you Falun Gong practitioners.” Ms. Wang was detained for 20 hours and forced to pay a 4000 yuan (US$570) fine before she was released. For a long time after that, this young woman was afraid to go home after work.
In the morning on June 28, 2011, while Ms. Wang was working at the hospital, officers from the Dongbei District Police Station in Zhaogezhuang arrested her and also unlawfully searched her house. She was taken to the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp. In July, she was transferred to Shijiazhuang Women's' Forced Labor Camp, where she is still being held and tortured.
