Officials at Hebei University of Science and Technology Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners

Ever since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Jiang Zemin's regime started persecuting Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999, officials at Hebei University of Science and Technology, including Wang Yingying, Secretary of the Communist Party, and Lu Changfu, University President, have been acting as political henchmen for the CCP. They deceive employees and students with lies to instigate hatred of Falun Gong, and actively persecute Falun Gong practitioners in the university. They force employees and students to write compositions that slander and denounce Falun Gong. The officials have applied the same methods used in the Cultural Revolution to instill terror and force everyone to denounce Falun Gong. They conducted the so-called "Hundred Thousand Signatures against Falun Gong" campaign in order to persecute Falun Gong practitioners and deceive people.

Based on the limited information we can gather, we know the following facts. University officials sent at least two practitioners to forced labour camps. They have detained six practitioners and ransacked their homes, fired four employees from the university, and expelled at least two students.

Ms. Li Xiumin used to be an employee at the Continuing Education College and was detained for over 40 days by the university's security department. The university fired her in 2000. She was sent to a forced labour camp twice for a total of six years. Ms. Li was forced to divorce her husband, and lost her job and house. She is now living with her parents.

Ms. Li Huiyun used to be a teacher at the Electrical Engineering College. She was arrested and taken to two brainwashing sessions. In March 2004, due to the persecution and tortures, she suffered a severe mental collapse. To shift their responsibility, the university leaders conspired with the brainwashing centre personnel and policemen from the Gexinjie Police Station, and they sent Ms. Li to a forced labour camp even though she was mentally ill. After being detained for five months in the brainwashing centre, Ms. Li was sentenced to two years in a forced labour camp in Shijiazhuang City. Not very long after she arrived at the forced labour camp, they had to take her to the First Appertain Hospital of the Hebei Medical University for medical treatment. In the meantime, the university fired her. Wang Yingying and Zhang Lizhong (the former secretary of the Communist Party of the university) are the responsible persons.

Mr. Song Hongshui used to be an employee at the Information Technology College. In April 2001, he was suspended from the university with a one-year suspension. He was arrested and taken to two provincial brainwashing sessions.

Ms. Zu Yidan was a teacher at the Textile and Clothing College. In June 2004, she was suspended with a one-year suspension.

Mr. Hui Hongqi was a teacher at the Management College. In June 2004, he was suspended from the university with a one-year suspension.

Ms. Ji Lixia was a teacher at the Foreign Language College. In 2001, she was suspended from the university with a one-year suspension.

Ms. Han Junhong used to be a research associate at the former Hebei Textile School. In December 2000, she was suspended from the school. In 2002, the textile school merged with the university. In 2004, Ms. Han talked to Wang Yingying many times and asked Wang to let her resume her position, but her request was denied.

Ms. Qu Ping was a pharmacist at the former Hebei Textile School. In December 2000, the school fired her.

As of May 2005, the university received new leaders. Wei Ge from the Hebei Agriculture University is the new CCP secretary at the university. Li Qiang from Yanshan University is the new president. Sang Xiuguo from the provincial government is the new associate president. These new leaders have continued the persecution of employees who practise Falun Gong.

The persecution that married couple Mr. Song Hongshui and Ms. Li Huiyun suffered is a typical case. On February 24th, 2004, the couple was arrested and taken to the provincial brainwashing session. Ms. Li suffered a mental due to the torture. She was sent to a forced labour camp in August 2004. In December, the university fired her. The university deprived the couple of their salary since March 2004 and still hasn’t resolved the problem. During this period, Mr. Song visited the former and current leaders many times. When Ms. Li returned home on February 26th, they went to visit the university officials together and asked them to withdraw their decision to wrongfully dismiss Ms. Li. They asked the university to arrange work for her according to the government regulations which were instituted in 2001. The couple also visited several leaders of the provincial Education Department. They visited the police station and the police department where Li Huiyin's case was handled and submitted written requests. Because the university is shuffling their responsibilities around, their problem has not been solved. Due to the distress and anger, Ms. Li’s former illnesses recurred and she is now in a hospital.

Although Mr. Song is still an employee at the Information Technology College, the officials cheated him out of a better paying job. In order to survive, he went to the Service Department twice to report for duty. But they would only allow him to work if he would sign an agreement stating that he will fight against Falun Gong and will not promote Falun Gong. This agreement was required only from him (it is said that all temporary workers are required to sign this agreement). Mr. Song refused to sign the agreement. Later, the university officials spread rumours that Mr. Song refused to work even though they had arranged work for him.
