On June 8th, 2006, Dafa practitioner Ms. Xu Suyun, from the city of Tangshan, Hebei Province, went to the Fengdao Police Station to explain the truth of Falun Dafa with her own experience to the police there. For this she was detained for 15 days. After she was released on the afternoon of June 22nd, she was arrested again only one hour after she arrived home. She was then sentenced to one and a half years of forced labour and was taken to the Kaiping Women's Forced Labour Camp. Her family members were cruelly beaten by the police for seeking her release.

Ms. Xu, 52 years old, was a victim of the "Cultural Revolution" instigated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). After she graduated from a middle school as an "educated youth", she was forced by the CCP to be "re-educated" by poor peasants in remote villages. After 20 years of very difficult living conditions in a village, she returned to her home in the city in 1993. She had to live on the small income from a part time job in the street committee of her home because she failed to find a permanent job. Her husband worked in another city. In 1999, both of them were unemployed. To support her family and her two children's education, she had to sell packed food at a night market alone although she was suffering from poor health. Her ailments included back and shoulder pain, hypertension and heart problems. Because of the heavy physical burdens, she became tired of her hard life.

In the winter of 2001, Ms. Xu heard about Falun Dafa. Through practising Falun Gong, all of her diseases disappeared and she became energetic like a young woman. She tried to improve her character and always treated others strictly according to the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance". Before she found Falun Dafa she had once found 800 yuan1 that someone had lost. Instead of finding its owner, she deposited it into her bank account. After she started to practise Falun Gong she came to understand the principles of being a good person. She realised that she should return the money to its owner. But where could she find the owner after so many years? She luckily found the owner in May 2006. Upon getting his money back, the owner could not believe that it could happen so many years after it was lost and genuinely admired the high morality of Falun Gong practitioners. Both the owner and other people immediately said, "Falun Dafa is good!"

Through this matter, people saw even more clearly the goodness of Falun Gong and the evilness of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong. Some of them announced immediately that they would learn Falun Gong later and quit the CCP and all of its affiliated organisations.

On April 15th, 2006, around 7 p.m., a local practitioner named Hui Hui was arrested by police from the Fengdao Police Station and her home was ransacked. After one night of detention in the police station, she was sent to the First Detention Centre of Tangshan. On the afternoon of June 8th, 2006, Ms. Xu went to the Fengdao Police Station to give the police a letter asking them to do what is right. For this, she was arrested. On June 10th, the police ransacked her home and sent her to the Changningdao Detention Centre of Tangshan, where she was detained for 15 days.

On June 22nd, Ms. Xu's family members were told by the detention centre authorities to take her back. In the afternoon she returned to her mother's house. However, after about one hour, the police from the Fendao Police Station went to her home after they learned that she had been released from the detention centre. They arrested her violently and took her to the Kaiping Labour Camp.

Ms. Xu's mother and husband went to the Fengdao Police Station to request her release. Her younger brother also went there. They enquired of the head of the police station Niu, asking why they had arrested Ms. Xu. Shamed into anger, Niu ordered several policemen to beat Ms. Xu's brother. Later, policeman Mao Zhong, male, around 40, told Ms. Xu's family members to send her some luggage. He said hypocritically: "Hui Hui has been sent to a labour camp in Shijiazhuang (capital city of Hebei province). We sent Xu Suyun to the Kaiping Labour Camp considering the condition of your family." Ms. Xu tried to save the police, but they threw her into jail! Where is their conscience?
