Ms. Chuai Cuijun Sentenced to Five Year Prison Term for Passing Out Leaflets - Four of Her Family Members Arrested for Appealing to Tangshan Court in Hebei Province

On April 16th, 2007, four family members of Dafa practitioner Ms. Chuai Cuijun, of Qianxi Town, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, along with some of Chen Baihe's family members, went to the Quanxi Court to appeal for justice regarding the issue of Ms. Chuai and Chen being sentenced. They asked for their release, but instead they were all arrested by the National Security Team and detained.

On April 16th, at around 9:00 a.m., Ms. Chuai Cuijun's husband, Chuai Zhiwu, along with her brother-in-law, Chuai Zhigang, sister-in-law, Chai Junxia, and her mother-in-law, all went to the Qianxi Court to ask for Ms. Chuai's release. The chiefs of the National Security Team, Zhu Zhengang, Xu Zhigang, and Wang Wei, immediately dragged Chuai Zhiwu out of Chen Zhigang's office without any reason when they arrived at court. Later, the remaining people were also dragged out. During that time, Wang Wei and Zhu Zhengang ordered Qi Guiliang to begin persecuting the relatives. He stepped on Ms. Chuai's mother-in-law's hair and dragged her from the second to the first floor, holding her head to the ground. This poor old lady, over sixty years old, was brutalised by Qi Guiliang. One of the court police officers also beat Chuai Zhiwu.

Later, the National Security Team sent many agents over in a vehicle. They dragged all of the family members into the vehicle without giving any reason. Because Chuai Zhigang had refused to go, they brutally stepped on his head, causing his nose to bleed. The police even hurt Chen Baihe's daughter and son as they pushed them into the vehicle. These young school kids were frightened and didn't know what to do.

The police forcibly sent Ms. Chuai's family members to the police department, where they were handcuffed for the entire day. They also did not get anything to eat. The police charged them with "disturbing the court's normal working order," and threatened that they could be detained for fifteen days. Chuai Zhigang, Chua Zhiwu, and Chuai Cuijun's mother-in-law, were all sent to the Qianxi Detention Centre.

It was said that the authorities from the 610 Office¹ had planned to detain Ms. Chuai Cuijun and Chen Baihe until late 2008 in the name of "securing the safety of the Olympic games in 2008." According to inside sources, last Friday, (April 13th) the politics and law committee of the party had a meeting. The secretary, Bai Xingyuan, threatened that they needed to deal harshly with Falun Gong practitioners.

On May 13th, 2006, Dafa practitioners Ms. Chuai Cuijun, Chen Baihe, and others were passing out leaflets exposing the persecution in Yuhuzhai Township when they were reported to the authorities by people who didn't know the truth about Falun Gong. The local police, together with the Qianxi National Security Team and officials Zhu Zhengang and others, took them to the Chengguan Police Department in Qianxi. They were later transfered to the Qianxi Detention Centre. Their houses had been searched and Chen's computer and other belongings were confiscated. During the time that they were detained, they were all forced to have blood drawn. On April 12th, 2007, Ms. Chen and Ms. Chuai were sentenced to four and five years in prison, respectively.
