[Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province]
On September 1, 1999, Lishu District Police Station of Jixi City, in Heilongjiang Province, arrested over a dozen Falun Dafa practitioners who were watching the videotape "Biography of Jesus Christ." These practitioners were sent to detention centres and placed under illegal custody on charges of "illegal gathering." Some of them were held for as long as ninety days. During the illegal detention, Falun Dafa practitioner Wu's foot wound, which had resulted from numerous shocks from an electric club, became infected. Prison doctors wanted to amputate his foot, but Wu refused to allow it. Later, Wu was released. Another practitioner, Zhao, was beaten so badly that his face became swollen and turned black around his eyes. Falun Dafa practitioners were gradually released, but not until they had first been subjected to extortion.
On the morning of January 31, 2001, several police officers broke into the home of senior, retired, female teacher, Wang Yuhua, to forcibly conduct a search. They also illegally took all five of her family members to the police substation. The police then handcuffed them individually to the heating pipes and deprived them of three meals in a row. It wasn't until late the next morning, just prior to their transfer to the detention centre, that police officers with some kind thoughts brought them food. On the day they were arrested, Substation Chief Niu Jiayu and the Party Political Secretary Li, of Lishu District Police Station, had both beaten heavily on Wang's chest. Li ordered her to get on her knees, and Wang refused. He then began kicking her in the calves. Without any evidence or following any legal process, the couple was sentenced to two years of forced labour education. Their eldest daughter, in college, was given a one-year term. The two younger daughters became homeless, and an ordinary family was thus broken apart.
While no one was at home, the police returned to the home and searched it three more times, confiscating two savings deposit receipts. They extorted 800 Yuan RMB (the average monthly pay for an urban worker being 500 Yuan) from Wang's brother (his only stipend left for living expenses). The wicked Niu Jiayu lied, with the fabricated excuse that this was to pay for the meals. Meanwhile, the Lishu Police Station withdrew the salaries of both Wang and her brother, without their knowledge. In January 2001, another practitioner was also arrested and thrown into the detention center.
