Wang Bo' s Uncle Persecuted Under "Orders from Above"

On the morning of July 7th, 2007, Wang Bo's uncle Gai Wufan went out to buy breakfast, but was stopped by local police officer Zhang Xinzheng, who was waiting outside his residence. Zhang Xinzheng called a van, and two police officers arrived to take Gai Wufan away. They said he needed to complete the paperwork for serving a term outside the labour camp, and sent him immediately to Team 304 at the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp. The police explained that they were carrying out orders from higher authorities.

The lawless Chinese Communist Party (CCP) personnel ignored Gai Wufan's highly precarious health and placed him in the labour camp anyway. It is said that Gai Wufan's wife Liu Ruiqin was also sentenced to forced labour, but was "kindly" allowed to serve her term outside the labour camp to look after an 87-year-old relative at home.

Liu Ruiqin has to take care of a nearly 90-year-old family member who often falls ill, as well as a 5-year-old granddaughter. Doing all of this by herself is really hard on everyone.

Before her husband was taken away, agents from the Yudong Police Station in the Yuhua District of Shijiazhuang City came to her home twice (on June 21st and 22nd), to harass them. The agents took notes of their conversations.

On July 4th, the legal section of the Shijiazhuang City Police Department, the National Security Division and police from Yudong Police Station sentenced Gai Wufan to one year of forced labour. The reason they gave was because Wang Bo's family had engaged in conversations with a lawyer and had "stirred things up." Mr. Gai Wufang was later released because the labour camp refused to accept him due to his serious hypertension and heart conditions.

On July 5th, police from the local station came to his home again, saying that due to pressure from above they still had to send him to a labour camp. They said they wanted him to have another health check-up at a more prestigious, larger hospital. However, the result was even worse than the previous check-up at the labour camp, and he was in critical condition. The police then had to let him go home.
