Ms. Chen Guolan Sent to Guizhou Province Women's Forced Labour Camp

Ms. Chen Guolan, 43, is from Liping County, Guizhou Province. She was persecuted several times for practising Falun Gong, and the managers at her workplace withheld a 20,000 yuan¹ severance payment because of her belief. Her workplace attempted to embezzle the money by suing her in court, but they failed.

Eight police officers arrested Ms. Chen Guolan at her home on August 15th, 2006. These officers were from the Sansui County Police Department and the National Security Department. They took her to the Kaili City Detention Centre and then transferred her to the Sansui County Detention Centre. On September 13th, 2006, they sent Ms. Chen to the Guizhou Province Women's Forced Labour Camp.

In November 2006, Ms. Chen appeared to have uterine cancer. There were many sarcomas on her abdomen, and they had started to change colour. The camp officials made requests to send her home for medical treatment, but police officials from the different units passed the buck, saying there was no money to take her back. After Ms. Chen Guolan's family told them they would pay all the expenses, the agents finally took her back.

Not long after her release on medical parole, Guizhou Province Women's Forced Labour Camp officials notified the Kaili City police to return Ms. Chen to the labour camp for a physical examination. If it was found that Ms. Chen was getting better, they would keep her. Ms. Chen Guolan then decided to leave home to avoid further persecution.

On September 21st, 2007, Ms. Chen was arrested in the middle of the night at an apartment in Guiyang City. Participating in the arrest were agents from the Guizhou Province State Security Bureau, the Guiyang City Police Department, the Dayingpo Police Station and the Dayingpo Residential Committee. Ms. Chen's whereabouts are currently unknown. People from the Guiyang City Police Department were also involved in this incident. Those from the Guizhou Province State Security Bureau who were involved include Guo, Shao, Xiong and Wu Tao.

In late October 2007, police officers from Guiyang City and from the Guizhou Province Women's Forced Labour Camp arrived in three vehicles at Ms. Chen Guolan's mother's home in Kaily City to harass her family.
