Ms. Wang Haiqing Arrested and Brutally Tortured Mentally and Physically

Ms. Wang Haiqing, a Falun Gong practitioner from Anqiu City, Shandong Province, was arrested by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials. She was force-fed and tortured both physically and mentally for three months. She was in critical condition.

At 11 a.m. on May 12th, 2008, Ms. Wang, Lin Shuzhen, Ding Muzhao, Ren(Yin) Mingxia, and two other practitioners were brutally arrested by Li Shenghua from the Anqiu Police Department and Dong Linfang from the Chengbei Police Station at Beixing Village, Tianxiake North Town. After they were robbed, they were taken to a detention centre in Anqiu City. Policeman Dong Linfang held Ms. Wang down and said, "I don't believe that I cannot handle you." Wang Haiqing's was seriously injured, and she lost control of her bowels and bladder. It was unbearably painful.

According to witnesses, all the practitioners shouted together, "Falun Gong is good!"

Ms. Wang Haiqing, 45 years old, resided at the Anqiu Flour Factory Residence. A former employee of the flour factory, she was let go ten years ago. After the CCP started to persecute Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999, she was disturbed by the situation and confused by the fact that many local practitioners had no fear of the tyrannical and despotic rule and that they went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. To resolve her confusion, she started to read a Falun Gong book. After she finished reading it, all her confusion disappeared. She also went to Beijing to explain the truth about Falun Gong. In the spring of 2000 when she was sharing the beauty of Falun Gong with people in Tienanmen Square, she was kicked and beaten by police and taken to the Tienanmen Police Station.

Since then, Wang Haiqing has followed the principle of Falun Gong, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, to be a good person. In spite of the brutal and mindless persecution, she has firmly held true to her belief and demonstrated the indestructible spirit of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance that awakens sentient beings. Even those that participate in the persecution have to admit that Falun Gong practitioners are good people.

One evening in August 2000, Ms. Wang was arrested by police from Zhucheng City. She was beaten by Cao Jinhui from the Zhucheng City Police Department and Wang from the Zhucheng Detention Centre, and her motorcycle was taken. Several days later she was detained in the Anqiu City Police Bureau, where she was brutally tortured as officers Cheng Shuping, Dong Shulin, Liu Jinlai, Li Jian (driver), and Li Shenghua of the political security division tried to extort a confession from her. When she was in the detention centre, she was force-fed by officers Cheng Shuping and Zhang Yuanting and nurses Ge Huiqin and Wang Kun of the Thoracic Surgery Department at the People's Hospital in Anqiu City.

Around 2001, she became homeless to avoid being persecuted again. One evening she was staying on the fifth floor of a building when the authorities suddenly surrounded and robbed her. To escape, she jumped off the building, severely injuring one of her feet and her leg. The bone was exposed and she was bleeding profusely. She was in dire condition and had no control over her foot. Despite the intense pain, she bravely walked to the roadside, where she was rescued by a kind driver passing by. She was taken to a farmer's house to recuperate.

After Ms. Wang's father learned that she had been injured after jumping off the building, he went to visit her. Seeing that her wounds were so severe, her father couldn't keep from worrying about her. He soon passed away due to a sudden heart attack. (He was retired and a former deputy director of the Anqiu City Department of Industry and Commerce.) The CCP officials took advantage of the fact that he had not had a chance to go to the hospital and slandered him, saying that he died because he practised Falun Gong.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival of 2002, Wang Haiqing was detained at the Anqiu City Detention Centre and was tortured to skin and bones. However she was still forcibly brainwashed by the head of the 610 Office¹ Wang Ziqing.

On March 15th, 2005 policemen in Anqiu City harassed, arrested, and detained all local practitioners. The police broke into Ms. Wang' home and took away all Falun Gong books and her tape recorder. Fortunately, she wasn't home at that time so she avoided being arrested. The following morning, the police went to her home again to attempt to arrest her, but they failed again.

On November 2nd, 2007, Wang Jihuai, the Party Secretary of Anqiu City, and Ren Haiyan, the secretary of the Political and Judiciary Committee, ordered more than 200 police officers in Anqiu City to harass local practitioners and ransack their houses. They arrested more than 30 practitioners, including Tian Yufen, Wang Yulan, Yu Wenchen, and Su Xiaoyou. When practitioners refused to open their front doors to the police, the officers surrounded the homes, waited for a while, and then they broke in through doors and windows, even threatening their family members. That day they broke into the home of Ms. Wang Haiqing and confiscated her personal belongings, including a tape recorder, printer, and computer. She wasn't at home, so they arrested her husband, who didn't practise Falun Gong.

On May 12th, 2008, Ms. Wang was arrested again and taken to the Anqiu City Detention Centre. The guards in the detention centre restrained her in an iron chair² for about five days. She has been held for more than three months. Another practitioner, Lin Shuzhen , who was arrested at the same time as Wang Haiqing, was detained in the Zhuchen City Detention Centre in July.

Please protect the kind-hearted and stop the persecution of Falun Gong! And please help to rescue all the practitioners that have been detained and persecuted.
