The Crimes of Honguang Farm Police Station

Hongguang Farm Police Station’s Relentless Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners

Qianguo County, Jilin Province

Since July 22, 1999, enforcers from the Hongguang Farm's Police Station have been collaborating with the authorities from the local government, district police department and county police department to cruelly persecute practitioners at Hongguang Farm.

Zhang Zhen, director of Hongguang Farm's Police Station, relentlessly persecuted practitioners by means of brutally beating practitioners, ransacking their homes, conducting body searches, looting their properties, imposing unjustifiable fines, confiscating land, forced labour camp sentences and restricting personal freedom.

Zhang Zhen, without any search warrant, frequently led people from the county police department to forcibly break into and ransack practitioners' homes at midnight. They blatantly confiscated valuable property, such as motorcycles, for instance. During the practitioners' detention period, director Zhang made phone calls to the practitioners' families several times a day, to demand money. At their local liaison office in Beijing, they even openly demanded money and searched the practitioners' bodies thoroughly and shamelessly confiscated everything they found. They also took a large sum of money from practitioners with the excuse of "safekeeping the money for the practitioners." In total disregard for the Dafa practitioners, they fed them leftovers and sometimes they didn't give them any food at all. But they charged practitioners an incredible amount of money for food, which was many times higher than its actual value, and added other miscellaneous "fees." According to incomplete statistics, officials from the Hongguang Farm have fined and extorted more than 300,000 Yuan from practitioners. [The monthly income in rural China is 500 Yuan.] Some practitioners and their families had to pay 10,000 Yuan, an amount so large that many families couldn't afford to pay. The enforcers didn't issue any receipt for the "fines." Moreover, they seized a dozen hectares of land (about 30 acres) from practitioners. A lot of practitioners are now in debt, no longer have an income and can't even afford the basic cost of living. A lot of practitioners were sentenced to stays in a forced labour camp, not even sparing the children under 16 years old who were still in school as well as elderly people over 70 years old.
