Senior Engineer Mr. Song Aichang Arrested by Vicious Policemen of the Shijiazhuang Police Station

Mr. Song Aichang, 47, is a senior engineer in the 13th Research Institute of the China Electronics Science Group. He used to work as Chief of Equipment and Logistics Management Department. He had been weak and unhealthy since his childhood, and had contracted Tuberculoses, as well as chronic stomach disease. When he started to practise Falun Gong in 1996, not only did all his illnesses disappear, but his moral character also improved. In 1998 when southern China was hit by a flood, Mr. Song donated over 1,600 yuan¹ for the catastrophe stricken area. Mr. Song used to be in charge of logistics purchases when he was the chief of the department. He was never greedy, did not pursue personal gain from his job, nor did he ask for any perks or kickbacks. Several times, when people sent gifts to his house, Mr. Song refused to accept them.

On June 22nd, 2007 around noon, Mr. Song Aichang was arrested by police officers of the Police Bureau in Shijiazhuang City, the Qiaoxi sub-division, and the Keyuan local police station. He was interrogated at the Keyuan local police station. They threatened, intimidated and physically abused him during the interrogations (details are to be investigated). On July 24th, he was transferred and detained in the 2nd Detention Centre in the city Shijiazhuang. Currently, his case has been sent to the Shijiazhuang Qiaoxi Litigation Department.

Presently, Mr. Song's wife suffers from grief and anxiety due to her husband's maltreatment. His father, who is over 70 years old, had suffered a stroke before and is bedridden. For the sake of his health, his family members have not told him the news of Mr. Song's arrest. Mr. Song Sr. has only this one son. He is always trying to phone his son to ask him to come back home.

Song Aichong's daughter is studying in another city. When she came home during school break, she had longed to see her father, who adored her the most. Now, since she cannot see her father, she is constantly in tears.
