Ms. Xu Hui, 44, lived in the Songzao Mine Dormitory in Jijiang County. On the morning of July 5th, 1999, while doing the Falun Gong exercises in the school field, she and a few other practitioners were picked up and taken to Songzao Police Station by Chief Tu Zhenming. They were each fined two hundred yuan1.
On February 21st, 2000, Ms. Xu and a few other practitioners went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. They lived in the Songzao Office in Chongqing City, and, when they left, they went by way of the city. Police from Chuqi Police Station arrested them and put them in the Jijang County Jail after holding them overnight. Later Ms. Xu was sent to Chongqing City Women's Forced Labour Camp in Maojiashan for a year. The other three practitioners were fined two hundred yuan each and held in jail for 30 days.
In 2001, Ms. Xu finished her forced labour sentence and went home. The manager of the Security Department of Songzao Mine, Gong Xe, told her to write a letter pledging to not practise Falun Gong, and threatened that if she did not comply, they would either fire her husband from his job or tell him to divorce her.
On March 8th, 2004, she went to Anwen to get medicine for her husband, who was suffering from liver calcification. Policeman Yang Mingyu from the Anwen Police Station of Jijiang County Police Department arrested her and took her to the station. Later she was sent to Jijiang County Jail and held there for 30 days. Finally, the children of another practitioner arrested at the same time gave 30,000 yuan to the jail, which got her released.
In November 2006, Ms. Xu was again arrested from her mother's home in Bishan County and taken to Songzao Mine by Yang Mingyu and Luo Mingyang, the section heads of the Songzao Mine Community.
