Former Associate Professor from Zhaoqing University, Guangdong Province Arrested

Ms. Fang Yi, a former associate professor at Zhaoqing College, Guangdong Province, was reported to the police as she was distributing leaflets exposing the persecution and telling people the facts about Falun Gong in Gaoyao City on January 15th, 2010. The police claimed that she would be be "punished severely."

Ms. Fang, born in 1954, is a Falun Gong practitioner. She is a diligent worker, and is kind to others. Ms. Fang maintains good relationships with everyone, and she was recognised as an outstanding teacher.

The following is an account of the persecution of Ms. Fang. Ms. Fang was arrested and sent to a brainwashing centre in 2001, because she persisted in practising Falun Gong. After her release, she was monitored for a long time.

In February 2002, Zhaoqing College removed her from her post because she hadn't given up the practice. Several days later she distributed fliers about the benefits she received from Falun Gong and about the persecution perpetrated against some students and professors at the university. At 3:00 p.m. that day, she was taken away by the 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) from Zhaoqing City. In late June Ms. Fang was sent to Sanshui Women's Forced Labour Camp in Guangdong Province to serve a three-year term.
