Professor Zhao Jindong from the English Department of Hengshui Normal College Faces Prison Term for E-Mailing Information about Falun Gong

Professor Mr. Zhao Jindong, who works at the English Department of Hengshui Normal College, Hebei Province, has been using email to let more people know the facts about Falun Dafa and the persecution for quite some time. Recently, the police department in Hengshui City, using its Internet monitoring tools, found out about Mr. Zhao's activities and arrested him. Right now, Mr. Zhao is being held in the Hengshui City Detention Centre.

Due to his practice of Falun Gong, Mr. Zhao has been arrested on several occasions. The National Security Section of the Police Department in Hengshui City have seriously persecuted Mr. Zhao both mentally and physically, but Mr. Zhao has never wavered in his determination to appeal for Falun Dafa . He was sentenced to one year in prison when he was arrested last time. However, because Mr. Zhao was a professor at the Hengshui Normal College (Hengshui Normal College is the only higher education institute in Hengshui City), and because Mr. Zhao had been a somewhat influential figure in society, his prison term was changed to one year on probation. Now he is being detained again. Reliable sources reveal that the National Security Section of the Police Department in Hengshui City is planning to escalate the persecution against Mr. Zhao. This time the prison term will be three to five years, or even longer.

Recently, the Police Department in Hengshui City is carrying out a campaign called "serious crackdown on crimes within 100 days." Falun Gong practitioners are being violently persecuted as a result. Mr. Zhao has been arrested, and some other Falun Dafa practitioners have also been arrested.
