Daqing Petro-Chemical Corporation Collude With Police to Persecute Dafa Practitioners

The corporate leaders at the Daqing Petro-Chemical Corporation persecute Dafa practitioners who work at the company for their own political gains. For several years, based on an incomplete survey, the company's security director Li Yanting has authorised at least 100 Dafa practitioners to be arrested on criminal charges, and 30 of them have been sent to labour camps. There is also a direct order, given orally and secretly that whoever catches a Dafa practitioner posting truth clarification materials will be rewarded 1,000 Yuan. [500 Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China.] The corporate leaders have also collabourated with the police in many persecution activities that include illegal abduction, forced brainwashing, mental torture, physical torture, labour camp and prison sentencing.

Ms. Yan Junlian, 51 years old, is an employee of the Daqing Petro-Chemical Plastic Factory. She was sent to the Saqu Detention Centre for 50 days. During her incarceration there, she commonly experienced physical abuse that included beatings. While walking on the street on Nov 29, 2000, she was arrested and taken to the Huaxiang Police Station and detained there for 24 hours. The police also searched her home and took away all her Dafa books. On December 7, 2000 the police again invaded her home and tricked her to the police station for interrogation. She received verbal and physical abuse that included the use of the electric batons. She was then illegally locked up for 24 hours. She was extorted 1000 Yuan by Meng Baishi of the Huaxiang Police Station, and 2000 Yuan by Zhang Benqi of the Daqing Petro-Chemical Plastic Factory.

Ms. Li Xiuxiang, 54 years old, is a retired union worker of the Daqing Petro-Chemical Corporation. She went to Beijing to appeal the second time on November 19, 2000 and was arrested at the Qianmen Police Station and sent to a detention centre in Pinggu County. She was denied food for one day and was under interrogation until mid-night. Because she refused to give her name and address, she was locked up in an abandoned storage room with no heating system or toilet. The windows were broken and wind blew in freely. There were a total of six Dafa practitioners in the room, and all were chained at the feet and handcuffed in the back. They had to sleep on bare wood plank beds. They were forced to run bare-footed back and forth in pairs in the courtyard. The skin on their ankles was torn by the chain and had blood all over them. Ms. Li went on a hunger strike to protest. On the 8th night she was taken in a prison van and dropped off at the Zihe bus station in Hebei province. She was picked up at the bus station and rescued by local practitioners. On the 10th day she was arrested from her home and taken to the Songzhuang Police Station. She was kicked and beaten for one day and one night, then was transferred to the Tongzhou Detention Centre. On December 24 she was again transferred to Jinnan Detention Centre, and five days later she was moved back to the Daqing Detention Centre where she was illegally detained for 56 days. During that period she was pressured everyday to write the "promise letter". On January 15, 2000 she was extorted 500 Yuan by an individual named Zhou in the security office of the Daqing Petro-Chemical Corporation, and 5,800 Yuan by Dong Zhaolin who works for the workers union of the Daqing Petro-Chemical Corporation. From November 19, 2000 to January 2001 she was also extorted 1,759 Yuan by Ding Jielin who works for the workers union of the Daqing Petro-Chemical Corporation. All Ms. Li wants is a peaceful life, but her former workplace keeps harassing her.
