The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999. Since then I have been constantly harassed and threatened by the police, arrested, detained, and sent to labour camps. The following is a summary of the persecution that I have experienced during the last several years at the hands of the police in Jiamusi.
In December 2000, I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. I was arrested and sent to the Jiamusi City Public Security Bureau Liaison Office in Beijing. The Yonghong Subdivision and the Youyi Office extorted 1,500 yuan1 from my family and sent me back to Jiamusi City.
The police asked me if I would continue to practise Falun Dafa. If I said yes, they would detain me, if not, they would let me go. I was not frightened. I said I would continue to practise Falun Dafa. I was then sent to a detention centre that night. All the Dafa practitioners who were held there began a hunger strike for six days, protesting the persecution. We were brutally force-fed. A policeman by the name of Luo grabbed my hair and slapped my face, since I was not cooperative with them. The guard force-fed us with salty water not food!
The Yonghong Police Substation extorted 2,000 yuan from my family. Two hundred yuan went to the police who took me home. They also confiscated the 300 yuan in my pocket. A total of 6,000 yuan was extorted from me before the police released me. Five hundred and 200 yuan respectively were extorted from Dafa practitioners Shi Xiuwen and Guo Weishan. This is how we were treated when we attempted to speak to people about the facts of Falun Dafa and appeal for Falun Dafa. I was harassed and arrested, and our house was searched and property confiscated numerous times.
The Youyi Office and the Youyi Police Station made harassing phone calls and came to our house to harass us in 2001.
On February 4th, 2002, the police came knocking and harassed us at our home three days in a row. Even on New Year's Eve, a policeman by the name of Liu Dianlong made a harassing phone call late at night and disturbed our family.
On June 17th, 2002, I went to work. Policeman Liu Dianlong, along with the director of the police station, searched my house and confiscated more of my property. They took Dafa books, and an incense burner, as well as all the incense.
On December 13th, 2002, the same group of people came back again like bandits, searched my house and confiscated even the money given to the children as a New Year gift! They took me to Youyi Road Police Station. I was sent to the detention centre that night. I was held in the detention centre for twenty days and was sentenced to a year and a half in a labour camp. I suffered inhuman abuse and torture in the labour camp. I refused to cooperate with the persecutors, refused to do the "homework," "weekly reports," and to shout propaganda. I was forced to sit from morning until 10:00 p.m., and received all types of corporal punishments. I was released on May 6th, 2004.
On January 8th, 2005, Liu Feng from the Xinli Police Station raided my house and searched and confiscated my property, then took me to the detention centre for twenty days. The police station extorted 2,000 yuan, the Xiangyang Subdivision extorted 1,000 yuan, and the prison physician extorted 500 yuan from my family before they released me.
During the last several years, countless Dafa practitioners' families have been broken up and driven into poverty.
