On May 18th, 2008, Ms. Yu Zhiying, a Falun Gong practitioner from the Zhenhai District of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, was reported to the authorities as she distributed leaflets exposing the persecution of Falun Gong at a food market. She was then once again arrested by the Zhenhai police and imprisoned. She will likely face sentencing. Meanwhile, her daughter in junior high school and her husband who had previously been poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are now facing harassment and confiscation of the family's property.
After Ms. Yu began practising Falun Gong in 1996, she strengthened her character. As a result, her family life and business have been prosperous. The hepatitis that troubled her for many years also vanished.
In protest of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, Ms. Yu went to Beijing to appeal against it. She was arrested and sent to Zhenhai Detention Centre in Ningbo City for nearly six months. After she was released, she remained under Zhenhai police monitoring, and she was also subjected to short term detention from time to time. Her husband held a low-level office at the Zhenhai Agricultural Bank and was poisoned by the CCP's slanderous propaganda. He frequently interfered with Ms Yu's practice of Falun Gong and was absolutely obedient to police orders. When she was in the forced labour camp, he threatened her with divorce several times.
When her daughter was in the fifth grade, Ms. Yu Zhiying was arrested by officers from the Zhenhai District Police Department. The police also harassed her family members many times and confiscated family property (including computers, printers, etc). Because her husband submitted Falun Gong books and leaflets exposing the persecution, which provided so-called "evidence," to the Zhenhai Court, Ms. Yu was sent to Hangzhou's Moganshan Forced Labour Camp for one and a half years after her one-month detention at the Zhenhai police station.
Ms. Yu's physical condition got worse day after day, but after resuming her practice of Falun Gong her health was restored. However, when she was distributing leaflets exposing the persecution and telling people the facts about Falun Gong she was once again arrested by the Zhenhai police. During the interrogation, the police use slander, bribery, and threats, including such tactics as declaring that someone else had already reported the truth, in order to force her to "confess." CCP agents also conspired with the head of the company that Ms. Yu worked for to dismiss her from her job.
About three weeks into her detention, she was sentenced to another two and a half years and was sent to Hangzhou Women's Prison. During her detention, police from Zhenhai subjected her to force-feeding, and relatives were not allowed to visit her. During this time Ms. Yu's father passed away in grief and indignation.
