Daqing Police Department Arrested Elderly Ms. Mu Yongxia and have Refused to Issue an ID to Her Son (Photos)

Police at the Ranghulu Branch Office of the Daqing Police Department coerced Ms. Mu Yongxia into writing a Guarantee Statement (1) with the threat of not issuing her son ID. Without a valid ID, it would be hard for her son to find a job. Ms. Mu was rather worried.

On June 3, 2005, Ms. Mu went to apply for an ID for her son, but the police at the Ranghulu Branch Office refused her because she would not write a statement promising not to practise Falun Gong. One day, Ms. Mu went to a fellow practitioner Shi Fugui's home while police were conducting a search. As soon as she stepped in the door, her bag was grabbed and several plain-clothes policemen dragged her to a police car hidden behind the building. She shouted at top of her voice continuously: "Falun Dafa is Good" "Stop arresting Dafa practitioners".

She was taken to the Ranghulu Police Branch Office where the police interrogated her trying to find out her name. Ms. Mu kept silent. At about 1 am the next morning, one female and five male members of the police came to take her to a detention centre and were firmly resisted by Ms. Mu. So they dragged her to the ground, with each person pulling on a leg with her head on the floor, they forcibly put the old woman in her 60s into a police car.

Ms. Mu managed to open the locked window with her foot and shouted to the street on the way: "Falun Dafa is Good", "They arrest practitioners at midnight." Practitioners Wang Yuhua and Yuan Lixue who were arrested at the same time also shouted, "Falun Dafa is Good." After the car arrived at the Daqing Detention Centre, they locked Ms. Mu in an isolated cell and shackled her to an metal chair. Ms. Mu showed symptoms of palpitations and dizziness and had to lean against the chair. So they carried her by force to cell No. 408 where Falun Gong practitioner He Lihua was detained.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Mu Yongxia was persecuted at the Ranghulu Branch Office of Daqing Police Department and the Daqing Detention Centre from June 3-8, 2005. Pictures were taken after she was released.

Since June 4, Ms. Mu constantly suffered palpitations and dizziness, and could not get up. After she practised the Falun Gong exercises on June 5th, she improved. On the morning of the 6th, although still weak, she got off the bed and sat in front of the cell door. Holding tightly to it with both hands, she shouted to all the cells in the detention centre: "Falun Dafa is Good", "Release all Falun Gong Practitioners Immediately". Soon, there were abusive sounds from the police in the monitoring room heard over the loudspeaker and a female guard on-duty kicked Ms. Mu hard three times through the bars. Her cell-mates dragged her away from the door, but she continuously shouted as she sat in the centre of the room. When her inmates lifted her up on the bed, she still continued shouting. Then a dozen prisoners came and covered her up with a quilt and carried her outside. Cell No. 408 was located in the innermost part of the corridor. So when she was carried passed the other cells, she shouted out loud: "Fellow practitioners, we shouldn't endure the persecution passively. Falun Dafa is Good! Immediately release all illegally detained Falun Gong practitioners! They have just tortured Yang Yuhua to death and now they turn to me. I am Mu Yongxia. If I don't return, it means that they have killed me." At that time, all practitioners shouted together: "Falun Dafa is Good! Stop persecuting Dafa practitioners!" They carried Ms. Mu to the hallway where the clinic was located and force-fed her (although she didn't go on hunger strike). To silence her, they stuffed her mouth with a towel and the prison doctor inserted a tube into her nose making it difficult for her to breathe or vomit. They then carried her back to the cell. All the practitioners shouted "Falun Dafa is Good" was shouted all morning nonstop (among them was a female practitioner possibly in cell No. 407 who was said to be pregnant.) In the afternoon, Ms. Mu told all her inmates about the real situation of Falun Gong: she told them about the changes she experienced physically and mentally after the practice, about the breakup of her family in the past several years due to the persecution, and about how the police would not issue her son an ID which has made his job search effort difficult. She also told them about the spread of Dafa around the world and how people all over the world know about the wonderfulness of Falun Dafa.

On the morning of the 7th, she wanted to sit on the floor to do meditation. The prisoners held her back and carried her back to the bed. At that time, the detention centre director and prison guards lined up in the middle of the room. After calling the names of all the prisoners, the police swore at Ms. Mu and hit her with some sandals. Ms. Mu, however, spoke out: "Falun Dafa is Good! Stop persecuting Dafa practitioners!" They then moved the metal chair inside the cell and locked her in. Ms. Mu continued shouting the whole morning. To fan hatred, the police then tortured three prisoners with "body-folding" causing one of them to fall to the ground twice due to heat stroke; four were forced to stand still; 15 were forced to sit on small area from morning to 9 pm. Ms. Mu then shouted: "Stop the implication!" and could not help shedding tears, a portion of the prisoners cried as well. On the morning of the 8th, she suddenly fainted after being on the metal chair for 10 hours. Only when she was on the verge of death did someone dealing with her case come to bail her out.

Currently, Ms.Mu has fever and cold sweats at night. She feels pain all over her body and has dizziness and nausea. The Ranghulu Branch Office of Daqing Police Department and the Daqing Detention Centre are responsible for Ms. Mu's current physical condition.

Persecution of Ms. Mu Yongxia in 2001 at the Detention Centre, Prison and Psychiatric Hospital

Before she started to practise Falun Gong, Ms. Mu Yongxia had suffered from paralysis (she still has her disability certificate) and could not take care of herself. Someone introduced Falun Dafa to her and she was cured after practising for a little over one month. Her 88-year-old mother was disabled due to muscle atrophy but could walk again after only a month of practice as well.

In July 1999, lies deceiving the whole world pressed down from the sky as the persecution of Falun Gong began. Ms. Mu kept practising Falun Gong and telling the truth about Falun Dafa to others. In May 2001, she was arrested by officers from Honggang Police Station on her way to visit relatives, and was transferred to the Ranghulu Police Branch Office subsequently. Later, she was sent to the Daqing Detention Centre for one month and transferred to the Saertu Detention Centre afterwards unlawfully. Ninteen days later, the Ranghulu office police even sent her to a psychiatric hospital (Daqing No. 3 Hospital) where she suffered tremendously both physically and mentally: They tied her to bed and injected her with nerve-damaging drugs. They also force-fed her with drugs and gave her injections that cause dizziness and fuzzy eyesight. As the result, she could not straighten her back, ran a high fever, trembled and lost control of her body. When she fell down and could not stand up to walk after using the toilet, she had to crawl back to the ward. Twenty days later, she was tortured to the point that she had no eye response and was in a coma. Later on, practitioners rescued her and she practised Falun Gong for six months to recuperate. When she gradually recovered and went back home, her husband had already remarried; her mother in her 80s had died in sorrow; and her two children were crying and looking for her everywhere because their mother was gone and their home was broken up.

And now, Ms. Mu is finally reunited with her children but they still can't live a peaceful life. The police didn't want them to settle down and would not issue an ID to her son so that he can search for a job.
