Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Zhang Lianying Secretly Transferred; Family Denied Visits

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Lianying from Beijing was tortured until she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. (A previous report can be found at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2007/3/29/84019.html) She was a transferred from Renhe Hospital in Daxing, Beijing to the Tiantanghe Forced Labour Camp Hospital last Friday, on March 30th, 2007, when she was still in critical condition. The labour camp first tried to conceal the facts and lied to her family about her whereabouts. Three days later, her husband Niu Jinping went to Renhe Hospital and learned the truth.

According to witnesses, Zhang Lianying suffered severe brain damage from beatings. When she was taken out of her ward in a hospital bed, she said, “Please remember, Falun Dafa is good!” A labour camp guard tried to cover her mouth, but the patients were touched by her courage.

At first, the labour camp authorities refused to let her husband or her three-year-old daughter visit her. Two guards were assigned to stand outside Zhang Lianying’s room. Niu Jinping took their daughter and everyday went to the labour camp or the hospital and strongly urged to be given permission to see and take care of his wife, but his request was repeatedly denied without explanation. Once when Niu Jinping was at the hospital, Beijing Labour Camp administration section head Shi told him to go to the labour camp to process the procedure to meet with his wife. When Niu Jinping went to the labour camp, however, Shi said that he was due in a meeting and made Niu Jinping wait outside for three hours, and then still refused to show up. Shi called the local police officer from Xiangheyuan, “610 Office¹” agents, officers from the street administration committee and two young officers from the Administration Section. Yang Yiguo, a “610 Office” head, screamed at Niu Jinping upon seeing him, “Don’t you dare to think that I can’t fix you just because you bring a kid with you.”

Note: On May 21st, 2006, Niu Jinping met with Vice President of the European Parliament Edward McMillan-Scott. He told Mr. McMillan-Scott that he, his wife, and friends were suffering persecution. After this meeting, Mr. Niu Jinping, Ms. Zhang Lianying and Mr. Cao Dong, another practitioner who met with Edward McMillan-Scott, have suffered repeated threats and retaliation from CCP officials.

Note

1. "The 610 office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
