610 Office Tries to Coerce a Practitioner to Be Their Spy: the Story of Mr. Huang Yuxuan in Baise City, Guangxi Autonomous Region

Twenty-nine-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Huan Yuxuan from Baise City, Guangxi Autonomous Region, was arrested by the local 610 Office¹ at about 11 p.m. on September 13th, 2006, at a teahouse. The next day he was sent to the Custodial Station in Baise City. The police came up with the excuse that he suffered from tuberculosis and had to be isolated, so the decision was made to transfer him to a hotel located within the grounds of the Public Security Bureau. Eight police officers took turns interrogating him non-stop for 24 hours a day. He was allowed only one hour of sleep every day. By the sixth day, Mr. Huang Yuxuan was traumatised and delirious. He wrote a so-called Guarantee Statement to stop practising Falun Dafa. He was also forced to make several false oral confessions and wrote another guarantee statement against his will. On the guarantee, he was forced to write that after he was released, he would act as requested and would mobilise other practitioners to hand in Falun Gong materials and that he would secretly investigate those who made Falun Gong materials.

He was released on September 19th, 2006. He then realised what a mistake he had made and published a "Solemn Declaration" declaring the two "guarantees" he wrote null and void. He also declared that the oral confessions he had made were all false. (His Solemn Declaration is at the end..) On the day after his release, the police notified him to report to the police station. To avoid persecution again, he left home. His whereabouts are currently unknown. Police from the 610 Office are actively searching for him.

Ever since Jiang Zemin's regime started to persecute Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999, officials from the 610 Office in Baise City have persecuted practitioners using cruel methods of torture.

In October 2002, the following practitioners from Baise City were arrested by the 610 Office while distributing materials exposing the persecution: Pang Shouguang, Liang Changyin, Su Xiaolan, and Lan Airong. The police tortured them with "Handcuffing and Hanging Up" and sleep deprivation. They forced Pang Shouguang to stand with his neck in a cuff and didn't allow him to sleep for 15 days. Meanwhile they used various methods to persecute him further. They pulled a black plastic bag over his head and tightened it to almost suffocate him, pushed his head under water to almost drown him, and scratched and twisted the inside upper part of his legs.

In July 2000, Ms. Lu Qiuxi, a pharmacist from the Youjiang District Hospital in Baise City (previously known as "Baise City Hospital") who was three-months pregnant, did the Falun Gong exercises in Zhongshanqiaotou Square in Baise City. She was arrested and detained in the Custodial Station in Baise City. The police interrogated her every night and didn't let her sleep. The temperature dropped considerably, and it was quite cold at night. The police turned the air conditioner on at night to blow cold air on her. They interrogated her this way for 10 days and caused her to have a miscarriage. The police from the 610 Office didn't let her go for a check up in the hospital. Instead, they detained her on criminal charges and extended the detention period. In April 2004, she was sentenced to two years of forced labour. Her husband. Deng Zhijiang, a doctor in the People's Hospital in Baise City, was detained in the Drug Rehabilitation Centre in Baise City for 15 days. In July he was detained in the Custodial Station in Baise City and in October he was sentenced to serve two years in a forced labour camp.

Solemn Declaration Given by Huang Yuxuan

On September 13th, 2006, six or seven police officers--among them Huang Yi and Huang Zhifeng-- took me to Xiangyang Police Station in Baise City to interrogate me. I replied to their interrogation and they recorded the conversations. The next day they took me to the Custodial Station in Baise City. After they learned that I had pulmonary tuberculosis, they put me into Room 301 in the hotel near the Moku Pavilion located inside the yard of the Public Security Bureau in Baise City to continue the interrogation. I then made it clear that I had no more to say since what I had to say was all recorded. But the police said that they didn't believe me and forced me to say more. They said that it was quite ok if I didn't talk but that all eight of them would take turns persecuting me. They would see how much longer I could hold on. Since there was no time limitation, I couldn't get out of there if I didn't say any more. Furthermore, they didn't allow me to have enough sleep. I was only allowed to sleep one hour every day.

After several days, I went into a trance. I was traumatised and exhausted. I could see no hope of getting out. I wanted the persecution to end, so I made a decision against my will. I made up a false oral confession. After that I just fabricated things as I thought of them and gave the police several other false oral confessions. I wrote down a "Guarantee" to stop practising Falun Gong against my will, and on another guarantee I wrote that after I was released I would mobilise other Falun Gong partitioners to hand in Falun Gong materials and would secretly investigate those who made Falun Gong materials.

All these "Guarantees" are false and were written against my will. Now I solemnly declare that the above two guarantee statements I wrote in Xiangyang Police Station in September 2006 are null and void. And the false oral confessions I made about several people's situations were all made up. Persons involved were Liang from Longlin County, Zhang Suxue, Huang Lijie, Deng Zhijiang, and another person whose surname was Xu. Also, the story about practitioners gaving me money to spend was false and was for the purpose of oral confession, because the police didn't believe me if I said anything else. What I said was not true but they believed it. Hereby, I solemnly declare that the above people I mentioned in my false oral confessions didn't have any involvement in my cultivation and all the stories were invented. I made these several false confessions against my will and because I had no other alternative. Here I make the above declaration.
