Model Worker Ms. He Guihong Persecuted by Domestic Security Division of Xianning City in Hubei Province

On July 1st, 2010, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. He Guihong was arrested by Xianning City 610 Office [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong] personnel and police officers from the Xianning City Domestic Security Division when she was working at the "1+8" retail chain store in the Xian'an District. On July 2nd, Jiayu County 610 Office personnel and Domestic Security Division personnel sent her to the Banqiao Village Brainwashing Centre of Wuhan City.

Ms. He Guihong, who is 40 years old this year, initially worked at the monetary authority of Paizhouwan Town in Jiayu County. After practising Falun Gong, she practised Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in her daily life and won the "model worker" award for the whole province. She was also proclaimed a "model worker" for the whole city and county many times.

Ms. He went to work in the Xian'an District of Xianning City in 2009. Later that year, her boss was too busy to take care of the market, so she alone was responsible for the safekeeping of huge amounts of collected revenue. When her boss returned, she gave him all the money, without a single penny missing. Her boss was very touched.

At 8:00 p.m. on July 1st, a gang of plainclothes police in an unmarked van, led by Xianning City Domestic Security Division head Zou Yu, barged into the "1+8" retail chain store. Three men forced Ms. He's arms behind her back and handcuffed her.

After Ms. He was arrested, information of her whereabouts was tightly guarded by the 610 Office. Ms. He's family and relatives were told by her boss that she had been taken away by Xianning City police. On July 8th her family went to the Domestic Security team to demand her release. The personnel there refused to reveal where she was being incarcerated. They even threatened to sentence and imprison her family members. They also tried to compel her relatives to bring them to Ms. He's rental property so they could ransack her place, but they did not succeed. The next day, they picked the lock and broke into Ms. He's place to ransack it. They left the place in a mess. The losses were huge. Because her husband was still living in their old residence, he was not sure exactly what was taken from her rented property.

Ms. He Guihong has been on a hunger strike to protest the persecution in the brainwashing centre. Her condition is worrying. Every day she has been carried by five thugs to watch a video that slanders Falun Gong.
