On the morning of September 28th, 2006, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang Goudong of Yilan County, Heilongjiang Province, was arrested from work by police. Officers Zhang Wenguo and Song Yuzhe from Yilan County Public Security Bureau and a few others, including Deputy Chief of Wuguocheng Police Station, took Mr. Zhang without a warrant or proper charges and did not inform his family, either. They started collecting evidence only after they had arrested Mr. Zhang, who is now being detained at the No. 2 Detention Centre in Yilan County.
Mr. Zhang's family made a request to see him, but the Detention Centre said that the Public Security Bureau did not allow it. The Bureau is planning to send him to the No. 1 Detention Centre on fabricated charges.
Mr. Zhang Guodong, 36, is a graduate of the College of Hydraulics in Heilongjiang Province. He is now an assistant engineer with the Hydraulics Bureau of Yilan County. After Mr. Zhang started practising Falun Dafa in 1998, all his illnesses, including neuron headaches, stomach trouble, kidney stones, enteritis, and high blood pressure, disappeared. He became a better person, too. At home he treats his parents better, takes better care of his child, and loves his wife more. At work he holds himself strictly to Falun Dafa's principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and exercises strict quality control over the projects for which he is responsible. When people tried to bribe him with money at work, he always refused. His outstanding performances won him praise from both his coworkers and supervisors. However, this good person has been persecuted for the past few years. His home was searched, and he was arrested, fined, and even brutally beaten more than once.
During the first month of the 2000 Chinese New Year, Mr. Zhang was taken from home by policemen led by Deputy Police Chief Long Deqing. Instigated by the guards, inmates beat him in the detention centre. More than 20 days after he was arrested, Mr. Zhang was released after he paid a 3,700-yuan (approximately 240 pounds) fine. On May 10th, 2002, he was taken away again from work by policemen led by Quan Limin, and his home was searched. This time he was not released until he had been held for more than three months and paid a 2,000-yuan (approximately 135 pounds) fine. Now Mr. Zhang has been arrested and detained again on unwarranted charges. His supervisors and family have demanded his release, but the Public Security Bureau are refusing, saying that it was the provincial authorities that had ordered the arrest. Mr. Zhang is protesting the persecution with a hunger strike, which is now in its fifth day. He is very weak.
