Mr. Jin Wenhua from Luquan City Subjected to Forced Labour

Mr. Jin Wenhua, 39, is a Falun Gong practitioner from Nanluoling Village, Dahe Township, in Luquan City, Hebei Province. He was very intelligent when he was young and was able to enrol in a key high school. Later he developed a strange illness and had to leave school. Doctors were unable to identify the illness. He was cold all the time and had to wear a heavy overcoat and hat all year long. Due to the illness, he seldom went out. He went to many famous doctors to find a cure, and he practised different forms of qigong, but all in vain. Mr. Jin then started practising Falun Gong in 1997. He conducted himself according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Two weeks after he started practising, his strange illness disappeared. He was no longer afraid of being cold and was able to study and work normally. Many people witnessed this miracle, and some began to practise Falun Gong.

In July 1999, the Chinese Communist regime started the persecution of Falun Gong. In order to let more people understand the truth about Falun Gong, Jin Wenhua and Wang Jianhui went to the Luquan City Party Committee Office to appeal. The female deputy county head, Song Juyun, and ten other officers met with them. Due to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s high pressure policy, nobody dared to treat them justly. Officers from the Dahe Township Police Station arrested Jin Wenhua and Wang Jianhui.

After they were released, the police harassed and detained Mr. Jin many times. Former police station head Gao Aimin had a very bad attitude toward Falun Gong practitioners. He often abused them and assigned police officers Liu Zhong, Zhang Heliang, Zhang Zengyan, and others to harass and arrest Mr. Jin and other practitioners.

On July 14th, 2008, Zhang Jun, the new chief of the Dahe Police Station, assigned Sun Zhenfeng and Liu Suping to go to Mr. Jin's home and arrest him. They used the excuse of searching for fliers and CDs to arrest him. He was taken to the Luquan Detention Centre.

Mr. Jin Wenhua is now in the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp. Following is a list of practitioners who have been subjected to forced labour from1999 to 2008: Wang Jianhui and Wei Chunhua from Shaoying Village, Li Xingmei and Jing Yuehua from Dong Shaoying Village, Han Furong and Dong Liqiang from Chengdongqiao Village, Hu Xiufen from Quzhai Village, and Li Huifang from Zhifangtou Village.
