(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wang Zishan is the office manager at the Zhengxin Ink Co., Ltd. in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province. He was arrested at the Zhuhai Airport on March 4, 2012, as he was departing for a business exposition in Beijing.
Detailed Information Regarding the Arrest
Early on the morning of March 4, 2012, Mr. Wang went to the Zhuhai Airport with two colleagues. They were leaving for a business trip to the 13th China International Wallpaper & Decorative Textile Exposition at China New International Exhibition Center in Beijing.
As he was preparing to board and presented his identity card, more than ten plainclothes police gathered around him and forcibly took him to the Airport Police Station. They frisked him and searched his belongings. After finding some truth-clarifying paper money bills, they immediately arrested him. It was learned that Mr. Wang was then sent to the Sanshui Brainwashing Center (also called the Guangdong Province Law School) on orders from the Guangdong Province 610 Office and the Shunde City 610 Office.
Mr. Wang and His Family Previously Subjected to Persecution
Mr. Wang is 57 years old this year. Following his family members, he began practicing Falun Gong in 1997. His illnesses soon disappeared.
After Jiang Zemin and his gang began the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, Mr. Wang and his family were subjected to long-term persecution. Because he appealed in Beijing for Falun Gong during the National Congress and the Political Consultative Conference in March 2000, he was arrested and sent to the Guangdong Liaison Office in Beijing and detained in the basement for more than ten days. His younger brother, Mr. Wang Weibin, has been arrested and detained multiple times. His mother and wife were also subjected to detention for appealing in Beijing.
In order to let people know the facts about Falun Gong, Mr. Wang persisted in informing people about the persecution. The Guangdong Province 610 Office considered him a key person, and around November 2000 ordered Shantou City police to arrest him. He was sentenced to three years in the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. While he was detained, his mother, wife, younger brother, and two uncles were also subjected to detention. Five of his family members were detained and tortured in the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp and the Sanshui Women’s Forced Labor Camp.
After his release in 2002, Mr. Wang worked at an insurance company in Guangzhou City to make a living. However, agent Yuan Yongzhong from the Guangzhou 610 Office arrested him in early 2003, pretending to be buying insurance. The authorities again sentenced him to three years in the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. While detained there, he was subjected to various tortures, including solitary confinement, dead person’s bed, denial of restroom use, and sleep deprivation. The guards also made him listen to loud recordings that slandered Falun Gong.
Mr. Wang should have been released on February 18, 2006. However, the forced labor camp officers collaborated with the Shunde City 610 Office to extend his term illegally. They transferred him to the Sanshui Brainwashing Center to continue persecuting him. He was released one month later after his family urged authorities to do so. However, officers from the Guangdong Province 610 Office, the Shunde City 610 Office, and the Shaoguan City 610 Office often went to his home to harass and threaten his family. Unable to withstand the extreme pressure from the regime's authorities, his grieving mother passed away.
