I am 38 years old. I was an engineer of a company in Panjin City, but because I practiced Falun Gong, Jiang's regime illegally persecuted me. Since April 25, 1999, I have been mentally and physically abused. The following is a detailed account of the persecution I suffered:
On July 20, 1999, I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. Policemen from the Liao Oil Field Police Department in Panjin City found me after they searched all the hotels along Qianmen Street near Tiananmen Square. After I was arrested, my family was in severe mental distress.
After returning to my work unit, my Dafa books were confiscated and burned. The police tried to force me to write a statement criticizing Falun Gong, but I did not cooperate. Slanderous propaganda against Dafa was spread throughout the country, so all my colleagues were scared to associate with me. Thus, I was completely isolated.
On November 25, 1999, I went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa again, but my family members brought me back. Police illegally ransacked my home and attempted to detain me, but they failed.
On December 19, 1999, I was detained when Beijing Daixing County's Police Department illegally searched Dafa practitioners' residences. During the detention period, I was threatened, interrogated, and forced to squat and stand for a long time. The police also used Dafa books to violently hit me on the head. They locked me up in an iron cage. In the detention centre, they forcibly took my picture and fingerprinted me. Over 20 people were packed in one cell. There was only enough room to sleep on our sides with one foot suspended upon the other. Two Dafa practitioners had to sleep on the cement floor near the restroom. When leaving this detention centre, the police forcibly confiscated my address book, one Dafa book and more than 300 Yuan [400-500 Yuan is the average monthly income in urban China]. Though I returned the blanket I had to rent from the detention centre, the deposit was not refunded.
On December 19, 1999, in Liaoning Province's liaison office in Beijing, I was not given any food for the whole day. Policemen took turns monitoring and interrogating me.
From December 20 to 31, 1999, I was detained at the Liaohe Oil Field Police Department. At that time, the weather was extremely cold. There was little heat supply in the cell. The accommodation expenses, however, were 20 Yuan per day. The food we had consisted of corn porridge, steamed cornbread, and cabbage soup. No drinking water was provided. During this period, they illegally ransacked my home and fined me 3000 Yuan. One month's salary and part of my annual bonus was also withheld.
From January 3 to 12, 2000, my work unit held a nine-day brainwashing class. Every department director of the work units took turns to monitor their practitioners. However, the brainwashing class ended in failure.
On August 15, 2000, I was illegally arrested in a fellow practitioner's home. Policemen confiscated two Dafa books and some of Teacher's new articles. I was threatened and interrogated. The National Security Bureau's liaison office in Panjin City, Panjin City's Police Department, the Liaohe Oil Field Police Department, the Xinglongtai Police Station, and the Lujing Company Security Section searched my office. Policemen from Xinglongtai District Police Department illegally detained me. During the detention period, the food was terrible and no drinking water was provided. The prison guards' behaviour was abhorrent. I was fined 3000 Yuan, and one month's salary and bonus were suspended.
In November 2000, my office was illegally searched and one Dafa book was confiscated.
On December 31, 2000, my office was illegally searched again. Afterwards, I risked my own life to get back the Dafa book that had been confiscated. Then the police interrogated me and tried to force me to sign the search warrant, but I did not cooperate. Each time they searched through and confiscated my belongings, the office was turned upside down.
In the work unit, my activities were illegally monitored. I was prohibited to use office phones, fax and other communication facilities. Nor was I allowed to access the Internet, speak casually, or walk around. In February 2001, the situation became worse. Because they were afraid that I would clarify the truth, they would not allow anyone to talk with me about Falun Dafa. No one was allowed to come and listen to me clarify the truth. Otherwise, his or her salary would be withheld. They might even get fired. My work unit leaders also encouraged my colleagues to report to the authorities about my whereabouts. Then they used my withheld salary to reward those people who reported me. During work hours, I was only permitted to walk around my table. Someone even followed me when I went to the restroom. Furthermore, I was not allowed to call my family and children and part of my annual bonus was withheld.
Since March 2001, my home has been monitored. Policemen took turns watching me around the clock. On the sensitive dates, I would be harassed and issued subpoenas.
On August 25, 2001, I was illegally detained for 24 hours in Shenyang City. Police would not let me sleep for the whole night. At midnight, they turned on a fan at the maximum speed to blow directly on me. The director of the Taochang Police Station forcefully trampled on my legs and slapped my face. They cuffed me to a chair and did not give me any food or drink for the whole day, though 100 Yuan had been taken from me for accommodation expenses.
On the evening of August 26, 2001, policemen from the Liaohe Oil Field Police Department intended to illegally detain me. Because I did not cooperate, I was dragged on the ground. As a result, the flesh on my knees was torn off and the bone was exposed. From August 27 until now, I have had to live in exile. In December 2001, I was expelled from my work unit. At present, I am on the wanted list in Panjin City, Liaoning Province.
From August to September 2001, my home was illegally ransacked three times.
[This kind of story is very common. Many Dafa practitioners in China live under constant supervision, surveillance, harassment and threat of arrest and violence]
