Puning Police in Guangdong Province Ransack Dafa Practitioner Jiang Hanquan's Home Again

On the evening of January 12th, 2006, Puning police officers in Guangdong Province and the Shangtang Village Security Head, more than ten people in all, again ransacked Jiang Hanquan's home. They took away Jiang's Falun Dafa books. They also intimidated and coerced Jiang's family to urge him to turn himself in, indicating that they would not stop before they have Jiang arrested. Jiang's wife Liu Chanduan fainted under the pressure that was applied to her, and his two daughters were taken to the Puning Detention Centre.

Let's look at the persecution that Jiang Hanquan's family has been subjected to since 1999.

Jiang Hanquan: In December 1999, he went to Hong Kong. He attended a legally permitted, public Falun Dafa cultivation experience sharing conference. Following his return, he was unlawfully detained in the Wushi Custodial Centre for fifteen days and fined 500 yuan¹. In 2000, while he was at a friend's home in Zhanlong, he was again taken to the Wushi Custodial Centre for fifteen days and fined 500 yuan. His wife Liu Chanduan, his daughters Jiang Jiayin and Jiang Lanlan and his son Jiang Hao, who had gone there with him, were detained in the Jieyang Asylum Centre for three days and fined 750 yuan. In May 2000, Jiang Hanquan visited his friend in Guangzhou City, where the local police threatened him and then forced him to go back home. After his return he was detained in a Liusha Town Government centre for seven days and fined 200 yuan. In July 2002, he was again taken to the town government office, where he was forced to watch Falun Gong-slandering video programmes. He was also fined several hundred yuan. Furthermore, the government officials also used various excuses to force him to come to the Chengdong Police Station for interrogation and detainment arbitrarily.

Jiang Hanquan's wife Liu Chanduan: In October 2000, someone in Huaxi Village reported her to the police, who then arrested and took her to the Wushi Custodial Centre. She was detained there for fifteen days and then transferred to a detention centre. The authorities subsequently sent her to the Sanshui Forced Labour Camp for two years, and she was fined 780 yuan. At the end of 2002, officials again arrested her from her home and took her to the Wushi Custodial Centre for fifteen days. Ms. Liu Chanduan staged a hunger strike for ten days in the centre and was punitively and brutally force-fed. The inmates, under the encouragement of the authorities, doused her with cold water when she was about to lose consciousness from the torture. After she was tortured to the brink of death, she was left unattended just outside the village public security office.

Daughter Jiang Jiayin: While she was working at a clothing factory the beginning of 2002, officials arrested and took her to the Wushi Custodial Centre for fifteen days. They extorted 500 yuan from her. Toward the end of 2001, Communist regime agents took her to the Chengdong Police Station for two days and fined her 60 yuan.

Daughter Jiang Lanlan: In November 2001 she was arrested from home and forced to take the police to the clothes shop that she worked for, which was searched. She was later detained in the Wushi Custodial Centre for fifteen days and fined 450 yuan.

Son Jiang Hao: He was a second grade student in the Liusha Middle School. The police officials coerced the school to expel him. In the summer of 2002, young Jiang Hao was taken from his home and sent to the Wushi Custodial Centre, where he was detained for fifteen days and fined 450 yuan.

Jiang Hanquan's two sisters were unlawfully arrested in April 2001 and July 2003, respectively. They were illegally detained and fined, as well. The sisters were sent to the Sanshui Forced Labour Camp for one year.

At about 10:00 a.m. on December 13th, 2005, Communist regime agents from the Puning National Security Division, the Chengdong Police Station, in connection with Shangtang Village Security Officials, went to Dafa practitioner Jiang Hanquan's home. They searched the home and took away his Dafa books. The police left a message and ordered Jiang Hanquan to report to the No. 2 Team of the National Security Division in the Puning Police Department. At noon, these agents came to Jiang's home again, claiming that they came only to return the books. Jiang's family members did not open the door, so the agents climbed over the wall and kicked the door violently. They then pried the door open. After they went inside, they put the books in the room and took photos. Jiang's mother was badly frightened.

At about 7:00 a.m. on December 17th, 2005 ten police officers arrived to arrest Jiang Hanquan's wife, Liu Chanduan. When Jiang's two daughters Jiang Jiayin and Jiang Lanlan went to stop them, they were also taken away. Jiang Hanquan's mother was frightened and fell down. When a visiting relative came forward to help her, the relative was also arrested.

At about noon on December 17th, 2005, village security officials brought Liu Chanduan back home. When she was let off at the doorsteps of her home, she fell to the ground, unconscious and foaming at the mouth.

Their visiting relative was threatened in Chengdong Police Station and kicked in the face by the police. After spending the night at the police station, village security officials sent this person back. Jiang's two daughters were taken to the Puning Detention Centre as hostages. Jiang Hanquan's mother, accompanied by her family members, went to ask for the release of her granddaughters. The police said that they would be let go when Jiang Hanquan turned himself in.

Jiang Hanquan's family was under surveillance for a long time, and the Falun Gong practitioners who visited his home were arrested for further persecution. During the time of the Communist Party's Sixteenth National Party Congress, an over 70-year-old woman visited his home and was taken to the Wushi Custodial Centre for fifteen days. In October 2003, two Falun Gong practitioners were arrested after they had entered Jiang's home and were sent to the Sanshui Forced Labour Camp for one year, where they experienced tremendous suffering. In December 2004, an over seventy-year old person visited Jiang's home and was taken away by agents from the Chengdong Police Station. She eventually passed away in early 2005, partly due to the police's actions.

We again appeal to the international community and ask for help in ending this terrible persecution.
