Practitioner Ms. Cao Baomei Arrested Twice

After Ms. Cao Baomei from Chengguan Town, Huaiyang County, learned Falun Dafa in 1997, her illnesses were gone. Many of her relatives, friends and neighbours witnessed the miracle of Dafa.

After Jiang Zemin's group started persecuting Falun Gong, Ms. Cao exposed the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) lies to the public and told them the truth about Dafa. Around 2 p.m. on October 20th, 2001, police from the National Security Team of the Huaiyang County Police Department and Chengguan Town Police Station, including policemen Zhao Min, Chen Jiachang, Zhang Junmei, Geng Shouling, Li Changfeng and three more ransacked her home. They took her Dafa books and exercise tapes. They took her to the county police department for interrogation. Around 7 p.m., she was taken to the detention centre. Guard Zheng Zihua searched her and pocketed her 470 yuan.

To get her out, her family spent 6200 yuan to pay policemen Ren Wei, Zhao Min, Cheng Sigui, etc. The National Security Team fined her another 4000 yuan when she was released. Zhao Min said, "Others pay 2000, she has to pay 4000."

Ms. Cao Baomei was put in handcuffs and foot shackles at the detention centre. The meal was only half-cooked and not nearly enough. She was frequently disturbed during her sleep and watched by inmates around the clock. From her arrest to her release in December 2001, her family spent 11,670 yuan.

Around midnight on October 29th, 2002, policemen Zhao Min, Zhao Jishan, Zhang Junmei, Geng Shouling and Li Changfeng broke into her home and arrested her. She was taken to the detention centre. She asked why she was being arrested Geng Shouling said, "Because you are out on bail awaiting trial, we can arrest you any time we want to." The long period of terror made her husband very sick and he was taken to the hospital. Her parents, both over 80, kept crying at home. The National Security Team extorted 1500 yuan from her family and the detention centre extorted 300 yuan before releasing her.

Practitioner Ms. Jia Hong Frequently Imprisoned and Her Family Broken Apart

Practitioner Ms. Jia Hong, who lives in Chengbei Town, Huaiyang County, was arrested by the Beijing police when she went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa in 1999. She was taken back to the Huaiyang County Detention Centre and imprisoned there for eight months. She was beaten brutally many times. She held a hunger strike to protest. After her family spent about 10,000 yuan, she, extremely skinny by then, was released. Afraid of being implicated themselves, her parents-in-law and her husband restricted her freedom and watched her closely. Her husband often verbally abused and beat her. Around 9 p.m. on March 22nd, 2003, the police went to her home, trying to arrest her. She was able to escape and went into hiding.

In 2004, Ms. Jia Hong was arrested by the police in Dancheng City. She was tortured cruelly at the Dancheng City Detention Centre. She held a hunger strike for 80 days. Her family was notified to take her home when she was near death. Due to the CCP's violence and lies, her husband did not want to take her home. Instead, he asked to divorce her. She refused. But her husband bribed the police and the police told the court to approve the divorce. Finally her own parents were able to take her home. At that time she weighed less than 50 pounds. She could barely walk even after a month of rest at home. When she heard that her ex-husband was to get married, she went home to see her two daughters and told him that she had not agreed to their divorce. Her husband pushed her out the door and reported her to the police. She was arrested and put into the detention centre again. There she held a hunger strike for 40 days and became so weak that she could not even move. However, the court sentenced her to five years in prison and sent her to the Xinxiang City Women's Prison. The prison refused to accept her. Huaiyang police then bribed the prison to accept her. She is currently in prison.

Practitioner Ms. Chen Li's Entire Family Laid Off

Ms. Chen Li, 64, worked at the Huaiyang County Chinese Medicine Hospital. She went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa in July 2000 and was arrested and detained at the Beijing Xicheng District Detention Centre.

All her family members, a total of four people, were working at the Huaiyang County Chinese Medicine Hospital. They were all laid off by the hospital after the Huaiyang County Political and Legal Committee pressured the hospital. Her family was also fined 10,000 yuan.

In 2001, Ms. Chen Li was reported to police when distributing leaflets exposing the persecution in Qilao Township, Huaiyang County. One day on her way to pick up her grandson, she was arrested and then detained at the detention centre for more than a month.

Practitioner Ms. Liu Jinfang Tortured Brutally and Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison

Practitioner Ms. Liu Jinfang from Yangzhuang Administrative Village, Songji Town, Huaiyang County, has been frequently disturbed and harassed at her home by Director of Songji Town Police Station Wang Wanzhong and other policemen. At noon on March 29th, 2000, two policemen deceived her into going to the police station and then arrested her. They asked her husband for 5,000 yuan, but her husband had been sick for many years and her family did not have any money. When he brought the 700 yuan that he was able to borrow to the police station, he was pushed downstairs and threatened by police officer Lei Chong, "If you don't get all the money quickly, she will be sent to a forced labour camp." The next day, her husband gathered 1,000 yuan. After begging the police many times, Ms. Liu Jinfang was released.

On January 30th, 2001, Wang Wanzhong tried to deceive Ms. Liu Jinfang into going to the police station, but Ms. Liu was able to escape. She had no choice but to leave her three-year-old daughter and go into hiding. Many policemen, including Ren Wei, Zhao Min and Chen Jiachang from the Huaiyang County Police Department and Wang Wanzhong, frequently went to her home to threaten her family. They also searched all her relatives' homes. Her sister was arrested and imprisoned for nine days. She was then released after having over 1,000 yuan extorted from her.

Ms. Liu Jinfang exposed the persecution in Xiangcheng City, Henan Province, when she was hiding. She was arrested by the police on October 15th, 2001. On April 17th, 2003, she was sentenced to 15 years in prison and deprived of her rights for five years. After being arrested, she went through many tortures: Having her feet burned by a cigarette, having bamboo sticks pressed under the tips of her fingernails, being hung up with her hands cuffed behind her back, being fed unknown medicine, being carried in the air and then slammed to the ground, and being beaten with a bamboo board or leather belt. Around November 7th, 2003, the Xiangcheng City Detention Centre tortured all Dafa practitioners again. The guards wrapped heavy gauge wire alongside the belt and whipped every practitioner 100 times. Practitioners' hair, pieces of their clothes, and blood were flying in the air, and several inmates watching the beatings cried.

The police from the National Security Team of the Xiangcheng City Police Department took Ms. Liu Jinfang to their secret room for interrogation. They used the belt wrapped with wire to whip her for a long time. They did not stop even when the belt broke. Ms. Liu asked to go to the toilet, but they did not let her go so she had to soil herself. However, she did not bow to the severe beating. The police then pressed toothpicks into the tip of all her fingernails. She lost consciousness due to the severe pain several times. The police poured cold water on her to wake her up so that they could continue the torture.

Practitioner Mr. Lei Zhongchang Sent to Forced Labour Camp Twice

Mr. Lei Zhongchang is a practitioner from Xinzhan Township, Huaiyang County. He was put in a forced labour camp for two years for going to Beijing to appeal for Dafa in October 1999.

At 4 a.m. on April 10th, 2005, six or seven policemen from Xinzhan Township Police Station broke into Mr. Lei's home. They ransacked the home and took away a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party ². They carried him into the police car by force. He was then sent to the detention centre. There, Mr. Lei refused to comply with the officials' orders, such as wearing an inmate's uniform or performing hard labour. He held a hunger strike for 27 days. He kept doing the exercises. On the eighth or ninth day of his hunger strike, Doctor Zhang Duoshu and others started force-feeding him. They used a metal rod to pry his mouth open, breaking several teeth and causing blood to pour out of his mouth. Once when Mr. Lei was meditating, Zheng Xianjun pulled his legs apart and slapped his face several times.

On June 10th, 2005, Mr. Lei was sent to Xuchang City Forced Labour Camp.

Practitioner Ms. Wang Guijin's Nine-Month-Old Unborn Baby Killed

The complete story of the torture of Ms. Wang Guijin was reported on July 29th, 2005:

http://www.clearharmony.net/articles/200507/27960.html

Ms. Wang Guijin, in her 30s, and her husband, Mr. Song Zhenling, both from Lutai Township, practise Falun Dafa and have benefited a great deal from Dafa.

On October 3rd, 2000, 18 practitioners, including Mrs. Wang and Mr. Song Zhenling, went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. They were intercepted by staff from the Huaiyang County 610 Office³ and policemen from Lutai Township Police Station. The next day, eight practitioners, including Mrs. Wang and Mr. Song , went through another way to get to Tiananmen Square. There they were arrested and taken to the Qianmen Police Station. Deputy Political Commissar of Huaiyang County Police Department Ren Wei and Director of Lutai Township Police Station used ropes to tied them up and take them to the Huaiyang County Beijing Office, where they were interrogated, beaten and tortured. Deputy Head of the Huaiyang County National Security Team Wu Shengli and Director of the Lutai Township Police Station forced Ms. Wang to kneel on the floor for a long time when they were interrogating her. They beat and kicked her, slapped her face, and pulled her hair. Some of her hair was pulled out and her face swelled. When Ren Wei interrogated Mr. Song and Mrs. Wang, he tied them tightly, then cuffed their arms behind their backs and kept beating them.

During the second interrogation, Ren Wei took off his shoes to slap Mr. Song's face. Ren Wei also pocketed their money and did not feed them. When they were taken back to Huaiyang County on October 7th, Ren Wei and other policemen Chen Jiachang, Geng Shouling and Zhao Min used torture instruments to try to force them to "confess." Mr. Song's back was bleeding after being tied up so tightly. Ren Wei took his leather shoes off to slap Mr. Song's face again. He kept slapping him until he was tired. Geng Shouling also beat Mrs. Wang brutally when interrogating her.

Mrs. Wang was then taken to the Huaiyang County Detention Centre. They put shackles on her. Later she and Mr. Song were "transformed" by force at the Huaiyang County Brainwashing Centre and released.

In April 2001, the police tried to arrest Mrs. Wang. She had to leave home and go into hiding. Policemen from the Lutai Township Police Station frequently visited her home to harass her mother-in-law. They would break into the house at night and use torches to look everywhere, leaving Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law shaking with fear.

On November 12th, 2001, Mrs. Wang Guijin and her husband were arrested when they were producing leaflets exposing the persecution in their apartment. They were beaten so brutally by the police that it took a week for Mrs. Wang's swollen face to recover. They were then put into a detention centre, where they were tortured during interrogation. Both of them held hunger strikes to protest. Two weeks after their hunger strike, Zheng Xianjun and Li Zhaosheng told Doctor Zhang Duoshu to force-feed Ms. Wang. Zhang Duoshu inserted a bamboo tube into her throat to force-feed her. Zheng Xianjun used a sharp tool to pry Mr. Song's mouth open. His mouth was bleeding heavily. Zheng Xianjun also used a thin bamboo stick to hit his fingers and toes, which was extremely painful. Mrs. Wang and Mr. Song were released after they went on a hunger strike for 29 days and were in critical condition. Policemen Ren Wei and Geng Shouling extorted 4,000 yuan from their family.

In February 2004, Mrs. Wang Guijin, Mr. Song Zhenling and their son were arrested in Dancheng City. Policemen Zhao Jishan, Wang Quandong and Xu Jun from Huaiyang Police Department beat them and tore Mrs. Wang's mouth when taking them back to Huaiyang.

Mrs. Wang and Mr. Song held a hunger strike at the Huaiyang County Detention Centre. Zheng Xianjun ordered force-feeding again. Doctor Zhang Duoshu found Mrs. Wang was pregnant. The Huaiyang County 610 Office then let her go home subject to residential surveillance.

On April 11th, 2004, police from Lutai Township Police Station went to her mother's home to arrest Mrs. Wang Guijin. They went there several times but did not find her. Her third brother called her to warn her to "be careful." The police monitored the phone call and arrested him. They extorted 6,000 yuan from him for bail. Her father was sentenced one year in prison for the "crime of concealing criminals." She was arrested on May 1st, 2004, but since the law prohibits imprisonment of pregnant women, she was again allowed to go home subject to residential surveillance.

On July 19th, 2004, Head of the National Security Team Chang Yijun ordered Lutai Township Police Station to take her to the Huaiyang Birth Control Centre. They told her to sign an agreement for an abortion. She refused. At 2 p.m. the next day, eight evildoers, including Song Duohai, Li Guang and Liang, held her down and did the abortion by force. The almost-nine-month-old foetus was killed.

A few days later, Li Changfeng put Mrs. Wang Guijin in the detention centre. Because her face was yellow and she was very skinny, the guard suspected that she was sick. Police from the National Security Team then took her to the hospital for an exam and found that she had hepatitis B. But they lied to the detention centre that her contagious stage had passed already, so that they could keep her in the detention centre for torture. She held a hunger strike. Zheng Xianjun and guard Huang Fan cursed her. Zheng Xianjun put four studs into the ground and tied her arms and legs to the studs. Then Doctor Zhang Duoshu inserted a feeding tube into her stomach. Since she was so weak, her skin turned purple and her eyes became motionless. Then the force-feeding was stopped. The guards tied her to a chair for an IV injection, but they could not find a blood vessel as she was too emaciated. The detention centre claimed, "As long as she still can breathe, she will not be released." The torture caused her legs to become disabled and she could not care for herself. But guard Wang Xinqi told other inmates, "She is anti-revolutionary scum. No one should be sympathetic to her."

Later, Mrs. Wang Guijin was sentenced to five years in prison by the Huaiyang County Court and her husband was sentenced to ten years in prison by the Chuanhui District Court.

Practitioner Mr. Lei Bangxi Tortured to Death

Practitioner Mr. Lei Bangxi, 50, lived at the Zhenguantun Administrative Village, Xinzhan Town, Huaiyang County. He had severe congenital hereditary bronchitis. After he practised Falun Gong in 1996, his bronchitis disappeared without any treatment.

Mr. Lei went to Beijing to appeal at the end of 2000. He was arrested by Beijing police and taken back to the Huaiyang County Detention Centre by policemen Ren Wei and Li Changfeng. He was extremely skinny after being tortured at the detention centre. After he was released, he was arrested and put in the detention centre again. He was imprisoned for more than 300 days during the two imprisonments and was tortured both physically and mentally. He became extremely weak and his bronchitis came back. He died in April 2003.

Practitioner Ms. Guo Xiumei Murdered by the Police

Practitioner Ms. Guo Xiumei, 45, retired from the Huaiyang County Health Quarantine Station. Around 9 p.m. on September 22nd, 2002, she was murdered when distributing leaflets exposing the persecution. She was found kneeling down in front of a resident's home with swelling and black extravasated blood on her face, a hollow left eye socket, and big black extravasated blood marks on her neck and chest. She was still breathing weakly when the police came, but they only videotaped her and left, without sending her for emergency treatment or conducting an investigation. Later the police department said that she died of a "heart attack and intracerebral hemorrhage."
