Xianghe County Practitioner Wang Guixiang Sent to Labour Camp Again

Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the minghui.ca website, which is the Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net.

Ms. Wang Guixiang is a 46-year-old Falun Gong practitioner from Jiaokangzhuang Village in Langfang City, Hebei Province. She is warm hearted and willing to help others. She had to take care of her elderly parents by herself as her father was disabled for six months and her mother is blind.

After going to Beijing in March 2000 to appeal for justice for Falun Gong at Tiananmen Square, Ms. Wang was detained in Xianghe County Detention Centre for two weeks. She was also extorted out of more than 3,000 yuan¹. She went to Beijing to appeal again in April 2000, and later was sent to Banqiao Forced Labour Camp in Tianjin City and detained there for one and a half years. Ms. Wang was severely tortured at the labour camp. She was shocked with three or four high-voltage electric batons simultaneously all over her body, brutally force-fed, and put in solitary confinement. One of her teeth was knocked out during a beating. Later she was forced to stay away from home for nearly three years to avoid further persecution. Her husband (from Tianjin City) could not bear the persecution any more, and divorced Ms. Wang in 2001. Her father was severely ill in bed and later passed away. Her mother's mind is not very clear and calls her name every day. On March 2nd, 2008, police took Wang Guixiang into custody off the street in Shijiazhuang City and sent her to Xianghe County Detention Centre. She was later sentenced to forced labour for two years and detained in Shijiazhuang Women's Labour Camp.
