Recent Round of Persecution of Practitioners in Changde City, Hunan Province

After Jiang Zemin's inspection of Hunan Province in August, the authorities in Changde City intensified the persecution of Dafa practitioners. They have hired some dregs of society to monitor and ambush practitioners, and have generally been interfering with Dafa practitioners' normal lives.

On October 19th, practitioners Ms. Yang Li and Ms. Xu Heping were arrested and taken to the 413 Geological Survey Team in Changde City. Security staff there first forcibly detained them and soon after notified the 610 Office¹ and police department, who came and took them away.

Dafa practitioners Ms. Huang Guihua and Mr. Xu Shanqin had already been arrested in August when the 610 Office intensified their persecution. Huang Guihua is 50 years old. Her husband died long ago, leaving their son and her depending on each other for survival. Her son, Qin Shi, was in Guangzhou doing some odd jobs. After finding out about the arrest of his mother, he came home twice to visit her in detention and shed a lot of tears. Seeing his mother incarcerated made him feel that his future was uncertain. It is said that he is giving up on life. Both mother and son were not at home, but policemen broke in their house without permission. They have broken the door and searched all over the house, especially the cases and chests. Although nothing "illegal" was found, they insisted that there must be a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party² hidden in the house. They wanted to use this as a pretext to sentence Ms. Huang to prison for 5 years.

Huang Guihua, Xu Shanqin, Yang Li and Xu Heping are now detained in the 2nd Detention Centre of Changde City.
