Middle School Teacher Mr. Zhu Huajun from Henan Province Arrested and Persecuted

Mr. Zhu Huajun is a teacher at the First Middle School of Zhenshui Township in Zhengyang County, Henan Province. Police officers from Zhumadian, Xincai County, and Zhengyang County arrested him. Mr. Zhu is currently being detained and severely persecuted at the Xincai County Detention Centre.

Falun Dafa practitioner Zhu Huajun went home at around 9:00 p.m. on April 6th, 2007. Soon afterwards school Vice-Principal Guo Chunwang and attendant Yu Guanghua went to his home. When Mr. Zhu asked them why they were there, the vice-principal replied, "To see if you're home." Then they left.

Within 30 minutes seven policemen from Xincai County and Zhengyang County knocked on Zhu's door. Without showing a warrant or identification they took him into custody without giving a reason. He was wearing only a light sweater and trousers at the time. By the time his mother came out, Mr. Zhu was already being shoved into a police vehicle.

His mother asked, "Why are you taking my son? He didn't do anything wrong." The police replied, "We'll take you, too, if you keep talking."

After the police took Mr. Zhu to the station they went back to his home and knocked on the door again. When his mother asked who they were, they pretended to be schoolteachers. She told them she wouldn't open the door because her son had just been taken away. The police asked her to open the door so they could explain the situation. She mother asked, "Why didn't you say anything the last time we opened the door? Why do you arrest people and then come back to lie? You said you were a teacher. What's your name?"

The police had no response. Mr. Zhu's mother shouted, "Teachers and families from the school, please come out and see if these people are teachers!" When the schoolteachers came out they didn't recognise any of them. The police could do nothing else but leave the school campus.

Around midnight, after everyone had settled down, the police came back to the home again. They jumped over a wall and broke in. Seven police officers searched the home, found nothing, but stole a picture of the founder of Falun Dafa. By then, it was already 2:00 a.m.

At around 10:00 a.m. on April 7th the police took Mr. Zhu Huajun to the Xincai County Detention Centre and attempted to extort a confession by torturing him.

On April 16th Mr. Zhu's father went to visit him, but the police refused him.

On April 23rd the police notified his family that they could visit him. When his parents went to the detention centre the police refused to let his mother see him because she also practises Falun Gong. The police would only allow his father to see him, because he wasn't a practitioner. When he saw his son, two people were holding him up. His hands were cuffed behind his back and there were tubes inserted into his chest. He couldn't walk on his own. The police were constantly yelling at him.

Mr. Zhu hasn't eaten anything for 12 days now, and his life is in danger. The police still refuse to let his mother visit him. They also forced his father to sign an arrest warrant that was then sent to Tian Guangming from the Procuratorate office.

Since 2007 police officers from the State Security Unit of Zhumandian, Xincai, and Zhengyang Counties have been frantically persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. Practitioners who have been persecuted in Xincai County include Li Quanxi, Zhang Jianqun, and Zhang Suqing. They're all detained at the Xincai County Detention Centre. Ten practitioners from Zhengyang County were detained and their homes searched. Seven of them have returned home. The three still in detention are Zou Shengbin, Lu Mingquan, and Dong Shuli.
