1. Ms. Wang Guihua
Ms. Wang Guihua, 38 years old, lives in Fuguo Village of Tuanjie Township, Shuangcheng City. On January 15th, 2005, Ms. Wang went to Shuangshan Village at Xingshan Township with three other Falun Dafa practitioners to inform people about the true nature of Falun Gong and the persecution. They were reported to the police by local people who didn't understand the truth. The policemen from the Xingshan Township Police Station took these practitioners away in a van and brought them to the police station, where policemen beat and kicked them. That afternoon, they were transferred to No. 2 Detention Centre of Shuangcheng City and 18 days later, they were transferred to Wanjia Forced Labour Camp of Harbin City. The practitioners were sentenced to three years of detention.
After she started to practise Falun Gong in 1995, Ms. Wang Guihua enjoyed numerous benefits such as improved physical and mental health and a harmonious family relationship. On July 20th, 1999, Falun Dafa and Dafa practitioners were falsely accused and persecuted in China. Ms. Wang exercised her legal rights to go to Beijing to appeal for justice for Dafa those arrested practitioners on January 6th, 2000. After she was arrested in Beijing, Ms. Wang was sent back to her area and detained at the Shuangcheng City detention centre for over forty days. She was fined and extorted out of an unspecified amount of money (exact amount is unknown yet because Ms. Wang is still in detention). Ms. Wang was sentenced to forced labour on October 2nd, 2000 and was sent to Wanjia Labour Camp on January 21st, 2001. She was released in July, 2001.
In February of 2005, Ms. Wang Guihua was transferred to Wanjia Labour Camp in Harbin and is still there today. Police in the labour camp often tried to force her to write words to defame Dafa. If she refused, they would beat, curse, and shock her with electric batons, causing Ms. Wang to suffer enormous amounts of pain. Every day she was forced to do hard labour from 5:00 a.m. to past 10:00 p.m. and sometimes even to around 1:30 a.m.
2. Ms. Wang Xiuyan
Ms. Wang Xiuyan, 43 years old, a villager, lives in Hongsheng Village, Tuanjie Township of Shuangcheng City. Ms. Wang was fortunate to obtain Dafa in 1996. Before she started to practise Falun Dafa, she had serious pulmonary tuberculosis and there was even pus oozing out of her lymph node. Every year, she had to spend several hundred or even several thousand “yuan1” on medical expenses. Her several visits to the hospital and doctors each year used up almost all of the family income. After she began practising Falun Gong, Ms. Wang strictly followed the teachings and principles of Falun Dafa to become a good person who always thought of others when speaking or doing things. All of her diseases disappeared.
On July 20th, 1999, Jiang Zemin's regime started to persecute Falun Gong and required every practitioner to write a guarantee not to practise. An old saying has it, “Even if you just receive a little graciousness from someone, you should return much more repayment to this person.” Falun Gong teaches practitioners to be good persons who put others' interests before their own. What Ms. Wang Xiuyan has gained from Dafa are far beyond a healthy body and harmonious family; more importantly she understands the principles of how to be a good person, and understands the reason for people's existence.
When the persecution of Falun Gong began without reason, and village officials and police station staff tried to force her to write a “guarantee2,” Ms. Wang exercised her legal right to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong on January 6th, 2000. On Tiananmen Square, she saw policemen and police cars moving around. At that time, several other Falun Gong practitioners also came to speak out for justice for Falun Gong to the government and told the government not to persecute Falun Gong. But they were all arrested, including Ms. Wang.
Ms. Wang was detained for three days and transferred to the Beijing Office of Shuangcheng City, and later was sent back to the detention centre of Shuangcheng City. She was detained there for 46 days, during which period she suffered from beatings and abuse by the police. Later, she was sent to the Tuanjie Township Senior People's Home, which had been turned into a jail to detain Falun Gong practitioners and hold brainwashing sessions to forcibly “transform3” practitioners. Through all this, Ms. Wang never gave up her belief. Nothing could change her wish to be a genuinely good person. Ms. Wang was detained for 45 days before she was released back home.
On January 21st, 2001, Ms. Wang went to Beijing to appeal again and was arrested again. She was subsequently sentenced to one year of forced labour in Wanjia Labour Camp.
At noontime on February 28th, 2004, Ms. Wang Xiuyan was at home preparing lunch for her husband and child. The Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Committee of her village, Liu Changchun, brought eight people from the Police Sub-station of Shuangcheng City and the Police Station of Tuanjie Township, to Ms. Wang's home. (Later, it was learned that the two policemen from the police station were Ai Changyan and Zhou Wenbin.) They didn't show any ID and arrested Ms. Wang Xiuyan. They confiscated all of her Falun Gong books. Ms. Wang was detained in No. 2 Detention Centre of Shuangcheng City for twelve days before she was released back home. Ms. Wang Xiuyan refused to follow the orders of the police to write any “guarantee to stop practising.” She started a hunger strike to protest. Policewoman Jin Wangzhi and policeman Zhang Guofu would not release Ms. Wang until she was abused to the extent that she vomited blood. Less than three days after Ms. Wang was back home, two people who identified themselves as policemen from the Shuangcheng Police Sub-station came to her home with the excuse of helping her arrange a release on bail for medical treatment. They said that if Ms. Wang was not sick, they still had to take her away. Ms. Wang knew they would come again, so she was able to avoid arrest.
On October 13th, 2004 during the busy farming season, Ms. Wang Xiuyan was busy at work in the field. When she got back home and had just had dinner, even before she had time to wash the dishes, the village head Fu Guolu along with Ai Changyan and Zhou Wenbin from the police station of Tuanjie Township, plus a few people from Shuangcheng Police Sub-station, broke into her home again and arrested her without showing any ID or legal documents. They said their supervisors wanted to talk to her. When Ms. Wang's son learned about this, he went to the Tuanjie Township Police Station. At 8:30 p.m. that evening, Ai, Zhou and another policeman went to Ms. Wang's home again. Ms. Wang's son asked them, “Where is my mum? Didn't your supervisor just want to talk to her?” Ai Changyan said, “I have no solution. At first they just wanted to talk to her, but our department head told us to send her to the Shuangcheng City Detention Centre.” During her detention at Shuangcheng Detention Centre, Ms. Wang Xiuyan's husband, daughter and son went to the detention centre many times to ask for her release, but Jin Wangzhi and Zhang Guofu refused to allow them to see her, saying, “We are only in charge of detention. She has been sent to Wanjia Labour Camp.” With great difficulty, Ms. Wang's family confirmed that Ms. Wang xiuyan had been sentenced to forced labour and was being detained in Wanjia Labour Camp.
3. Mr. Zou Guoyan
Mr. Zou Guoyan, 53 years old, a villager, lives in Chunguang Village of Tuanjie Township in Shuangcheng City. Zou Guoyan started to practise Falun Gong at the end of 1995. After he started to practise, Mr. Zou completely changed for the better and gave up all his bad habits. Mr. Wang always tries to think of others in his life and is never calculating when dealing with others. He has benefited tremendously from the practice.
When Jiang Zemin's regime started to persecute Falun Gong, Mr. Zou exercised his legal right to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong on January 6th, 2000. Because he benefited physically and mentally after practising Falun Gong, he wanted to report the true situation to the government and say, “Falun Dafa is good.” Mr. Zou was arrested on Tiananmen Square and was sent to the Beijing Office of Shuangcheng City. He was then escorted back to the No. 2 Detention Centre of Shuangcheng City.
In the detention centre, the police chose those most wicked and most vicious criminals to ruthlessly persecute and forcibly “transform” Mr. Zou Guoyan. Whoever persecuted Mr. Zou most wickedly and cruelly would receive a reduction in their detention time.
In order to reduce their detention time, these criminals thought of all kinds of means to torture Dafa practitioners. One time, the criminals held Mr. Zou Guoyan's five fingers together tightly and then inserted a toothbrush between his fingers and viciously twisted it around. Very quickly the skin on Mr. Zou's hands was lacerated and his muscle were exposed and blood flowed. The criminals still continued twisting the toothbrush. Mr. Zou felt such sharp pain that it seemed to gouge his heart and penetrate to his bones. The bones of his fingers were exposed and a large amount of blood flowed out. Mr. Zou let out several cries of pain and then lost consciousness.
On another occasion, the police instigated several criminals to tie up Mr. Zou Guoyan with rope and then use shoe strings to tie up his penis and pull it down with force. Mr. Zou felt so much pain that he stared wide-eyed, sweated profusely, and lost consciousness after crying out miserably. But those criminals doubled over with laughter. They said, “This time we can get two months' reduction of our detention time.” They used all kinds of means to torture Mr. Zou for the 45 days before he was transferred to the Tuanjie Township Senior People's Home (a temporary jail that the Township government set up to persecute Dafa practitioners). During the detention, the secretary of the Politics and Law Committee of Tuanjie Township Zhao Yuchang extorted Mr. Zou out of 1,200 yuan before releasing him several days later.
One tragedy after another is happening!
In July 2000, Harbin City held an art exhibition to defame Falun Gong, Mr. Zou Guoyan went to inform people about the true nature of Falun Gong. He was arrested by the police and sent to Shuangcheng Detention Centre, where he suffered from all kinds of inhuman torture and was not released until 15 days later.
On June 15th, 2001, Mr. Zou Guoyan was arrested by the police again in Handian Town and was detained at Shuangcheng Detention Centre. In addition to the above-mentioned tortures, they added a couple of more torture means to persecute Mr. Zou. The most cruel torture method is the “tiger bench4.” They forcibly tied up Mr. Zou on the tiger bench for 15 consecutive days and Mr. Zou was close to death. Finally, he was sentenced to 9 years in prison and was detained in the No. 2 Section of Daqing Prison. Over the past few years, Mr. Zou's relatives went to Shuangcheng Detention Centre many times to ask for his release, but the police purposefully hid the truth, and told Mr. Zou's relatives today that he was detained in one location and then told them some other location at another date. Because of this, Mr. Zou's family didn't know his whereabouts and spent a lot of time and money to travel around looking for him in vain. Mr. Zou has a teenager at home with no one to take care of him. His son had to go to stay at the home of his uncle. Later Mr. Zou's family suffered all kinds of hardships as they tried to locate Mr. Zou. They finally found Mr. Zou in Daqing Prison in June 2005. Mr. Zou and his son still have not been able to see each other.
