Inner Mongolia Practitioners Mr. Jin Haitao and Ms. Guo Meijie Persecuted

Alxa Left Banner, Inner Mongolia, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Jin Haitao was arrested, charged, and sentenced to seven years in prison in Hohhot. Recently he has been detained in the Hohhot Second Division of the Second Prison.

Ms. Guo Meijie is a Falun Dafa practitioner from Baotou. She was arrested in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and charged and sentenced to three years in prison. Recently she has been detained in the First Women's Mongolian Prison in the southern part of the Autonomous Region.

We call for help from Falun Dafa practitioners and people concerned with justice to rescue these two practitioners from Inner Mongolia. Also, we warn anyone who is still participating in the persecution that they should not become killers for the group associated with Jiang Zemin. Do not persecute people who believe in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance.

Mr. Jin Haitao, 29 years old, lived in Alxa Left Banner in Inner Mongolia. He joined the military and served for five years up until July 1999. When the persecution of Falun Gong started, he was forced to retire. When he was in the military, because of his pleasing personality, hard work, and honesty, his employer admired him and wanted to retain him.

In 2001, Mr. Jin was distributing Falun Gong flyers when he was arrested by Alxa Left Banner policemen and sent to Wu-yuan Forced Labour Camp for one year. In June 2001, the labour camp tried to complete the "transformation¹" of Falun Gong practitioners to win a prize from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), so they started to torture practitioners. The " transformation" methods included threats and severe physical and mental abuse.

Mr. Jin did not listen to their orders, so they persecuted him by locking both his hands to a heater and shocking him with electric batons administered by Wei Yuzhi and his teammates. This persecution caused the skin on both sides of Mr. Jin's head to peel off. A few days later, a second round of persecution started. During this period, Mr. Jin had three extra months added to his sentence because he protested this persecution.

After Jin Haitao left Wu-yuan Camp, Hohhot policemen arrested him again on October 2002 because he was carrying information about Falun Gong. This time he was sentenced to seven years in prison and recently was transferred to Hohhot Second Division of the Second Prison in Inner Mongolia.
The Hohhot Second Prison is specifically for the imprisonment of arrested male Falun Dafa practitioners. It includes six divisions.

Ms. Guo Meijie learned Falun Dafa in a labour camp and has been sentenced to three years in prison.
Guo Meijie, 36, lived in Baotou City. She was arrested in 2001 for committing a crime and locked up in the Hohhot Women's Forced Labor Camp. While there, she was deceived by the CCP propaganda on TV, but she also witnessed how labour camp officers tortured and abused Falun Dafa practitioners just for benefits gained from the CCP. Her heart was touched and moved by practitioners' compassion and unyielding perseverence. From this clear contrast, she understood what truthfulness and compassion are and also what deceit and cruelty are. Ms. Guo was influenced by the presence of practitioners, and she felt the righteousness and purity of Dafa, so she decided to start cultivating. She was granted an early release.
After she got back to her hometown, she cultivated diligently. She has been changed completely both physically and mentally. In August 2005, in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, local police arrested her while she was distributing leaflets exposing the persecution. During the detention period, she went on a hunger strike as a protest, but that resulted in her being force-fed in the Autonomous Region Police Station.

In March 2006, Ms. Guo was sentenced to three years and detained in the First Women's Prison in Inner Mongolia. This is the only women's prison in Inner Mongolia. Zhou Jianhua, who persecuted practitioner Ms. Zhou Caixia and caused her death in another women's prison, was moved there to be the assistant warden.

Wang Wei, Guo Meijie's husband, is a general manager in a contractor company. He started to practise Falun Gong after Ms. Guo introduced it to him. At the end of 2005, Mr. Wang went to the police station and protested the detention of his wife and wanted to take her home. He was also arrested by local police and sentenced to two years in the Wu-yuan Forced Labour Camp.

This couple is currently still being held and persecuted.
