Provincial and Municipal 610 Office Staff,
My name is Fan Chunyan. I' a Falun Dafa practitioner. Because of the government' persecution of Falun Gong, I was illegally sent to Wanjia Labour Camp (Harbin City) for a 3 year term that started in April 2001.
Because I' firm in my belief in Falun Gong, I have been arrested six times. My Mum is 78. My Dad passed away a long time ago. Since I' the only child in the family, there is no one to take care of my Mum. My work place laid me off just because I practice Falun Dafa, thus my family has no income. My Mum is unwell and now there is no one to look after her.
Today local government officials came to Wanjia Labour Camp to hold a so-called "Help and Teach Meeting." They just want to brainwash us into giving up Falun Gong. They try to persuade us to be ""transformed" as quickly as then can so they can release us and send us home. Someone doesn' understand us; he even said that we practitioners are so selfish that we discard our family members. Do you know how I missed my mum, how eager I am to return home and see her? But I won' lie just to have a job or to reunite with Mum. My actions are not selfish or just for myself; they are for standing up for Dafa [Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance]. Belief is a citizen' right guaranteed by China' Law. Who is preventing me from returning home to take care of Mum?
Last year I was arrested by the Power Bureau police station. Police officers Guan and Zhou beat me and kicked me; they even struck me with electrical batons. I was having my period that time and told them not to torture me. They didn' listen. Three times they put my head into a plastic bag to suffocate me. My legs were black from the beatings. Is this what the people' police should do? They viciously said: "It doesn' matter if Falun Gong practitioners are beaten to death." From 10 am to 3:30 pm, they inhumanly tortured me, tried to force me to give up Falun Gong, tried to get me to tell them who had passed me truth clarifying materials and how I had obtained Teacher Li' [founder of Falun Gong] article. Finally officer Guan cuffed my hands on the heating pipes, forced into a position in which my head was lower than my hips. Every 5 minutes, I was jolted with electric shocks from the batons. To be frank, I was in so much pain that I thought it would be a relief to kill myself by hitting the wall with my head. But then, they could say I committed suicide; so I didn' do that. I endured the pain. After I returned from the labour camp, officials, doctors, and criminals in the First Camp all saw how bad my body was beaten. I reported to officials of the Second Camp, and they recorded the details.
Even though today, in kindness, I still would like to tell those police who have beaten me or have had contact with me: I' a Falun Dafa practitioner, I won' hate you, you are deceived by Jiang' lies. I want to tell you that Dafa practitioners are here so more people will be rescued, by clarifying the truth to people and letting them know what' kind and what' evil. Many people are deceived by the slander broadcast on TVs, radios, and in newspapers. Facing unfair persecution, we just want to say a word from the bottom of our hearts, and to clarify the truth to people. For that we are illegally detained, sent to labour camps, sentenced to jail, even killed.
I have been jailed for almost a year. I miss my family members and friends.
To all people who read this letter, "Happy Chinese Lunar Year!"
