The Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Wang Jinghao

Ms. Wang Jinghao, 48, was originally from Dongding Village, Mingyuedian Town, Dingzhou City. Due to the persecution, she was forced to move to Beiguan Village. After Ms. Wang became a Falun Gong practitioner, all her illnesses were eliminated. The tracheitis and asthma that had bothered her for many years disappeared. Also, for many years she had been unable to fall asleep, but easily does so now. She only wanted to speak the truth, "Falun Dafa is good," but she was detained and tortured for a long time by the authorities from Dingzhou City and Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province.

In December 2000, Ms. Wang Jinghao was sent to Balizhuang Women's Forced Labour Camp, located at Baoding. She did not want to give up her cultivation. Team leader Li Yan, Li Dayong, Chen Jianying proceeded to torture and persecute her without even knowing her name. They began by tying both her legs with police rope, shocking her with an electric baton, tying her to a wooden board, and forcing her to stand next to the wall for fifteen days. While she was tied to the wooden board, the employees burned her with cigarettes, prohibited her from sleeping at night, slapped her with a leather belt if she closed her eyes, and propped her eyes open with bamboo sticks after slapping her face. They also forced her to squat in the corner and hold her own head while they beat her back with a leather belt. They demanded she cruelly slander Falun Dafa's Teacher. Ms. Wang did not cooperate, so she was restrained on the wooden board, and her mouth was stuffed with a dirty cloth and plastic. They then almost suffocated her by placing plastic over her face. She fainted and was unconscious for an unknown time period before she finally woke up. They also tortured the other practitioners with even worse cruelties.

In November 2002, they prohibited her from returning home. They sent her to a detention centre in Dingzhou City to try to "transform¹" her with force. They then sent her to the so-called Law and Education Centre in Zhuozhou City in December 2002 to persecute her. After 2002, Ms. Wang was sent to the Dingzhou Detention Centre. She went on a hunger strike. Nine days later, she was sent to her hometown of Beiguan Village, Chenguan Town, Raoyang County. Because of Ms. Wang Jinghao's detention and because she maintained her faith by not cooperating, her family suffered great financial and spiritual losses. Nevertheless, the local police often went to her home to disturb her. A family member had 5,000 yuan² extorted from him and he could not meet his living expenses due to the persecution. All of these issues badly hurt her family. On December 11th, 2005, Ms. Wang told people, who had been misled by the government propaganda, the facts about Falun Dafa and exposed the persecution and was detained again, this time by the Raoyang Police Department, for three days. They did not allow her a quilt or any means of staying warm at night. They also extorted 2,500 yuan from her.
