Police in Huadian City, Jilin Province Arrested and Sentenced Practitioners to "Crack Down on Crime"

According to information provided recently, several people, including Li Lanqing, Luo Gan, and Zhang Mouqing, went to Huadian City via Jilin City, bringing the local police force with them. They have been given quotas and the task of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners to prevent cable TV programmes from being tapped. They drew on the entire local police force and street guards in Huadian City and at the same time employed many unemployed residents to guard all the cable TV poles. Their orders were, "Rather wrongly arrest than mistakenly release," "This 'crackdown on crime' will end with many arrests and sentences," and "Once caught, they can't be released."

Government officials arrested practitioner Mr. Wang Xiaodong's mother and practitioners Ms. Zhao Haiying, Mr. Xu Yanjun, Ms. Hu Zhongjing, and Ms. Song Guifen. They also harassed many other practitioners.

Practitioner Wang Xiaodong's Mother Arrested; Mr. Wang Xiaodong Sentenced to Seven Years in Prison

On October 10th, 2006, around 12:40 p.m., five neighbourhood police officers from the Qixin Street Police Station of Huadian City arrived at Mr. Wang's mother's temporary job site and told her, "We want to fix your temporary identification card." She didn't want to go with them, because she knew that they were lying. They said, "You must come with us," and took her to the Qixin Street Police Station. The police lied to the local residents, saying that she was involved in tapping into the cable television programme.

At the police station they told Mr. Wang's mother, "You were involved in cable TV tapping." She said, "You fabricate charges against innocent people, and you use despicable tricks. I don't know anything about cable TV tapping. You said you brought me here to fix my ID, and now you try to frame me with cable TV tapping. I am nearly 70 years old and can barely read a few words. You have already harmed my two sons [her eldest son, Wang Xiaohu, was sentenced to seven years in prison, and her second son, Wang Xiaodong, detained in Huadian Detention Centre for seven months, recently was secretly sentenced to seven years in prison] and now you want to harm me." The police were not able to continue any further with their argument.

Later on, they sent her to Huadian Public Security Bureau. She was locked in the interrogation room on the first floor. The room has an iron chair and other various other instruments of torture. One person who claimed to be from the city bureau said, "Li Lanqin from the Central Government is even here to assume personal command. You must speak. You went to White Mountain to meet an old man. You were involved in cable TV tapping, we have photographed you. You must speak no matter what." Mr. Wang's mother answered, "Everyday I stay at home and cook three meals for others. How could I leave home? You are simply fabricating charges. You harmed both of my sons and now you are trying to harm me. You show me the photo." The officer didn't take out any photo and said fiercely, "Today I must fix you!" She said, "If you dare, you can cut off my head, since you have already harmed my sons." As she spoke, her body started to twitch and tremble. She was so enraged that she couldn't even stand up properly. The officer then said, "What are you pretending for? I will let you pretend." He was about to hit her, but he walked out when he noticed her condition. Then other police officers took turns questioning her. In the end, when they saw that she was really not well, they phoned Chen Baozhi, the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, about what to do. At 6:00 p.m. on October 11th, they released Mr. Wang's mother, who by then had already become very weak.

After October 1st, the Public Security Bureau announced the "Crackdown On Crime." After being detained for seven months, practitioner Mr. Wang Xiaodong was then sent to court. Prior to that, the police pieced together some materials and fabricated some evidence and told the public that Mr. Wang Xiaodong did certain things and that there were more than 20 witnesses. But when the hearing actually took place, there was not even one witness in court, and there was no testimony given. Only the personnel from the court, the Procuratorate, the 610 Office¹, and Huadian Public Security Bureau were present. Mr. Wang Xiaodong's mother said, "I want to plead for my son." The officer answered, "No pleading is allowed." She then asked, "Shouldn't the witnesses be at the hearing? Why are there no witnesses attending the hearing?" Yu Jinji and those who follow him, sneered at Wang Xiaodong's mother. One of them said [inexact quote], "Yes, we arranged it this way. What can you do about it?" Then they pushed her out.

Later, a person with inside information disclosed that Mr. Wang Xiaodong was secretly sentenced to seven years in prison. The court has still not notified Mr. Wang's family and relatives of the verdict. (Mr. Wang was detained for more than seven months with no evidence of a crime found. Yu Jinji and those who follow him had been trying to make up a case against Wang Xiaodong and give him a heavy sentence.) After Yu Jinji's deviousness was exposed to his family and the public, he threatened, "Someone even wrote [letters that clarified the truth] to my family. [Practitioner] Xu Yanjun has one more year to complete his sentence, but I will add three more years to his sentence!"

Ms. Zhao Haiying Was Arrested, No One to Look After Her 14-Year-Old Daughter

Around 2 or 3 o'clock on October 10th, 2006, the police from the Qixin Street Police Station of Huadian District arrested practitioner Ms. Zhao Haiying from her home, and took her daughter's computer and a bag of other things. They left her 14-year-old daughter, who is a grade one junior middle school student at the Huadian No. 3 Middle School, alone at home. Later, the police arrested Ms. Zhao's parents. They were released after being detained for one night.

Ms. Zhao Haiying was renting her place to 10 students, cooking for them, and looking after them. She has lost this source of income, because there is no one to take care of the rental house and the work she used to do. This is a great economic loss. There is no one to take care of her daughter. She can't go to school and cries all the time.

Ms. Hu Zhongjing Was Arrested on the Road

On the afternoon of October 10th, 2006, several policemen arrested practitioner Ms. Hu Zhongjing while she was walking down the road. Her bag, which contained a mobile phone, cash, keys and other things, was confiscated. They then entered her house with the key they had just stolen. They took away several Dafa books. Ms. Hu's 16-year-old daughter was at home and quite frightened. An officer threatened her, "Do you know that your mother practises Falun Gong? Bring out the other things that she has!" The daughter asked, "How did you get our key?" The policeman answered, "We arrested your mother, and we found this key when we searched her." The daughter said, "My mother is a good person, the best person. Why did you arrest her?" The policeman said, "Your mother practises Falun Gong, and she was involved in politics." The daughter said, "It is not against the law to practise Falun Gong, and Falun Gong practitioners do not kill or commit crimes." The policeman said, "Practising Falun Gong is a much more serious crime than murder and arson. It is even more serious than being an anti-revolutionary." The daughter said, "I want my mother. How could I live without my mother?" (The girl's father has been living in another part of the country.) The policeman said, "If your mother misses you she will stop practising [Falun Gong]."

Later on, the police lied about their "achievements." They told the public that they found a large amount of Falun Gong materials at Ms. Hu Zhongjing's home.

Ms. Hu used to teach in a school at Jiapi Gully. The school dismissed her in 2000 after she was sent to a forced labour camp. While she was in the labour camp, she couldn't resist the intense Chinese Communist Party (CCP) brainwashing. After she realised that she had been deceived by CCP's lies, she started to practise Falun Gong again.

Police from the 610 Office Broke into Her House, but Ms. Song Guifen Escaped

On October 10th, 2006, at six o'clock in the evening, a group of people that claimed to be from the Jilin Public Security Bureau, the Huadian 610 Office, and the Public Order Unit forced their way into practitioner Ms. Song Guifen's home in order to arrest her. She and her family righteously and successfully resisted the attempt.

At noon on October 12th, policemen from the Qixin Street Police Station forced their way into the mobile phone shop owned by Ms. Song's family and tried to arrest her again. She luckily escaped.
