Six Inner Mongolia Family Members Suffer Harrowing Persecution

All six members of Mr. Tian Fujin's family from Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, cultivate Falun Dafa and have become the main targets of persecution from the local lawless police. All six have been detained and sent to labour camps many times. Tian's wife, Liu Xiurong, filed an appeal against policeman Shao Jun for extorting money and harassment. Recently, Tian Fang, the eldest daughter of Mr. Tian, was arrested again when she went to prison to see her third sister and her father. She is now detained in Hexi Detention Centre, Tongliao City.

Introduction to Mr. Tian's Family

Clearwisdom.net published a brief report about the persecution suffered by Mr. Tian Fujin's family on January 11, 2004

Tian Fang, the eldest daughter, was sent to the brainwashing class once and unjustly detained four times. In 2000, she was sentenced to a labour camp for two years. Because she could not pass the physical examination, she was released for medical treatment. Because of the frequent harassment from police and the refusal of her mother-in-laws' family to let her stay in her home (they were deceived by Jiang Zemin's propaganda), she has to live on the street for long periods of time. Recently, she was arrested again for going to Huhehaote City Prison to visit her third sister Tian Miao. She is now detained in the Hexi Detention Centre of Tongliao City.

Tian Xin, the second daughter, has a son, Guo Siyuan, who is less than eight years old. She lived at her mother's house. Before her son was three years old, she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and was detained for 35 days. Since then, she was detained twice and sentenced to a labour camp for two years, but released ahead of schedule.

Tian Miao, the third daughter, was sent to a brainwashing class once, detained four times, where she suffered from various brutal tortures, including shackling and tying with ropes (1). She has been sentenced to six years. She was first sent to Baoanzhao and then transferred to the Women's Prison of Huhehaote City. She has been frequently tortured with electric batons, forced-feeding, cuffed hanging-up (2), etc., for her persistence in her cultivation of Falun Dafa. Now, she is in a perilous condition in prison.

Dafa practitioner Mr. Tian Fujin is now unjustly detained in the Wuyuan Labour Camp.

The youngest son of Mr. Tian Fujin, Tian Shuangjiang, was sentenced for three years and is now detained in Tongliao City Prison. He has suffered from forced hard labour until now.

Mr. Tian's wife, Ms. Liu Xiurong was unjustly detained twice and sent to a labour camp for two years. She has now been released.

Ms. Liu Xiurong Sued Police Officer Shao Jun

In December 2000, Shao Jun, a police officer from the "610 Office", took 4300 Yuan from Ms. Liu's house when he ransacked her home. It was returned after repeated requests from Ms. Liu's family. In April 20002, Shao Jun extorted 1000 Yuan from her using threats and deceit, after he obtained a PIN number of her Mudan credit card. Mr. Tian Fujin's wife sued him in accordance with the law. Police officer Shao Jun harboured resentment for this in his heart. In 2003, when Mr. Tian Fujin went to Tumuji Labour Camp to visit his third daughter Tian Miao (she was later transferred to Huhehaote Women's Prison), he was arrested again for carrying our Teacher's articles. After a half-year detention in Hexi Detention Centre, he was again sent to a labour camp.

Headed by Shao Jun, the policemen fabricated evidence that played a critical role in unjustly sentencing Mr. Tian Fujin to a labor camp. Although the family members were allowed to "review the case", it was merely a formality. Mr. Tian Fujin is currently being held in Wuyuan Labour Camp. However, Mr. Tian Fujin's wife did not give up her right to appeal to a higher court. She sued Shao Jun for extorting money and harassment.

Eldest Daughter Tian Fang Was Again Arrested

Tian Fang went to Huhehaote City from Tongliao City at about 5 PM on February 24, 2004. She was most likely arrested on her way. She has been sent back to Hexi Detention Centre of Tongliao City and unjustly detained there.

In the evening on February 28, the police ransacked Ms. Tian Fang's house.

The Process of the Recent Home Search

At about 9 PM on February 28, the director of Police sub-bureau, the director of Yongqing Police Station, the director of the neighbourhood Administrative Office, together with "610 office" agents Shao Jun and Wang Po, about 20 people in all knocked violently on Tian's door, in the name of Procuratorate Bureau to verify some information. Ms. Tian Xin refused to open the door for them. During their stand off, the window of the 7th floor room was smashed. The "610 Office" policeman Baoji Ritumu broke in through the window first, then Gen Biao, Bai Jing and others from the Yongqing Police Station followed. When they opened the door, Shao Jun and other policemen swarmed in. They took out a piece of paper, saying they were reading the search warrant: "Tian Fang went to Beijing, we need to search her apartment." Subsequently, these 20 some people started a destructive search.

They found Tian Xin's personal files. Following orders from the director of the Police Sub-Bureau, Bai Jing, police from Yongqing Police Station pried the box open with a screwdriver. They found an article describing the persecution of Tian Shuangjiang (Mr. Tian's youngest son) and an address book.

During the commotion, Ms. Liu Xiurong peacefully clarified the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution to them. She said to Shao Jun: "Although I sued you, I don't hate you. This is the compassion of Falun Dafa practitioners. My goal is to prevent you from committing other bad things." Shao Jun kept silent; the other 20 some people also were silent.

After a long search, they finally found a word engraving board (a metal board that holds wax paper for making master copies used in roller printing, a means used by practitioners to make copies of truth clarification material), that could be considered as evidence. They video-taped it as evidence. Meanwhile, they took two pairs of shoes, one pair belonging to Tian Xin and another pair belonging to Tian Fujin (who is being held in Wuyuan Labor Camp). They also took a page advertising a notebook computer from a 1998 computer magazine and a wooden brush. These articles were considered as "evidence". Police officer Baoji Rimutu broke into the wardrobes in the two rooms. Although he had a key, he broke the basement door open anyway. He left a complete mess in the basement. Even the neighbours' belongings were not spared.

Mr. Tian Fujin Was Brutally Beaten - His White Shirt Turned Blood Red

Mr. Tian Fujin was 54 years old. He was a leader in the technical section of Tongliao Leather Factory and assistant president of the factory. He started at the business in 1995. He was honest and reliable. In 1996, he started to practise Falun Gong. On July 22, 1999, he went to Changchun City to appeal for Falun Gong and was detained for 48 hours after he returned. On December 23, 1999, he went to Beijing to appeal and was arrested in Tiananmen Square. He was sent back to his hometown and detained for over two-months before he was sentenced to three years in a labour camp. He was transferred to the men's brigade of Tumuji Labour Camp in 2000 and again to Wuyuan Labour Camp in May 2001.

When he arrived at Wuyuan Labour Camp, the police on duty were conducting a meeting to defame Falun Dafa. Mr. Tian Fujin stood up to appeal for Dafa and was carried out of the meeting room. He was shocked with five electric batons at the same time everywhere on his body for three hours. His white shirt turned blood red (the police took the bloody shirt away to destroy the evidence of their brutality). Later, policemen punched and kicked him and shocked him again. Tian was beaten so brutally that his face was beyond recognition. Mr. Tian Fujin was placed in solitary confinement.

Mr. Tian Fujin was released on the end of 2001. In July 2003, when he went to Baoanzhao to visit his third daughter Tian Miao. He was arrested again for carrying our Teacher's article. He was detained in Tongliao Detention Centre for over six months. A group of police, headed by Shao Jun from the 610 Office, falsified evidence and sentenced Mr. Tian Fujin to three years in a labour camp. His family requested a "review of the case." The case is still unresolved.

Tian Shuangjiang, a Highly Respected Student, Is Detained in Prison

Tian Shuangjiang is the youngest son of Mr. Tian Fujin. He is 25 years old. In college, Tian Shuangjiang achieved excellent grades and was respected as a very good person. He was unjustly detained twice, sentenced for three years and is now being held in Tongliao Prison.

Tian Shuangjiang began practising Falun Dafa in 1996. On December 24, 1999, he went to Beijing to appeal and was arrested in Tiananmen Square. After he was sent back, he was detained for 35 days. During detention, he suffered from brutal tortures by policeman Liu Heyan (now relocated). Tian Shuangjiang's legs were kicked until they bled and he was placed in solitary confinement for seven days, where he was only given two meals of a porridge made by pouring boiling water over a corn meal. He became so thin, he looked as if he had only bones covered with skin.

He graduated in May 2001. He tried very hard to find a job. The policemen from Yongqing Police Station made him lose that job using despicable means.

On March 5, 2002, police arrested his third sister, Tian Miao, and took away the keys to his house. Two of his sisters were arrested; he, luckily escaped. One month later, he was reported and arrested when he was reading Minghui.net [Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net] in Baokang Internet Café in Kezuochongqi. To force a "confession" from him, he was tortured in Tongliao Political and Security Brigade. He was deprived of sleep for three days and was tortured by "tying thin ropes." He was detained in Hexi Detention Centre for refusing to wear prison clothes, he was punched, kicked and cuffed with a special cuff called a "pig cuff" that weighs over 22 lbs. Two days later, he was tied to a "dead person's bed"(3) (In Tongliao Hexi Detention Centre, the "dead person's bed" is a metal frame in the form of "日". The practitioner's arms and legs are stretched and tied tightly to the frame. All the body weight is borne by the metal tubes. It is very painful). He was tied on the "dead person's bed" for four days.

In January 2003, Tian Shuangjiang was unjustly sentenced to three years imprisonment. He is now detained in Tongliao Prison and is forced to do hard labour. The persecution continues.

1Tying the Ropes The police tie up the practitioner with a thin rope, circle the rope around his neck, and tie his hands behind his back. Then the police use all the force they can muster to tighten the rope. The rope becomes tighter and tighter around the body of the practitioner, and makes it more and more difficult for him to breathe. The pain is so intense that the practitioner sometimes loses control of his bladder. There have been instances when the rope was tightened enough to break a practitioner's arm.

2 Cuffed and hung up With both hands cuffed, both feet off or only toes touching the ground, one is hung onto the basketball support or the beam of the house with the handcuffs. The hands and arms will soon become paresthetic (burning or prickling sensation) and numb.

3 Dead Person's Bed The four limbs of the practitioner are stretched out and tied to the four corners of an icy-cold metal bed. The practitioner cannot move at all. Neither is he allowed to get up to eat, drink, or go to the toilet. This treatment will last from several hours up to more than a dozen days. This type of cruel torture causes severe damage to the practitioner, both mentally and physically.
