Ms. Hong Zhenyan from Wafangdian City, Liaoning Province, was arrested five months ago. She is still being held in a detention centre.

In the evening on April 23rd, 2009, Ms. Hong drove her car to Delisi Town, hoping to tell more people about the persecution of Falun Gong. She was with another practitioner, Ms. Cong Jinhong. They were arrested by two policemen from Delisi Town.

The police brutally beat the two practitioners with rubber clubs. Ms. Hong was injured all over, and Ms. Cong was beaten so badly that she was in critical condition. In the afternoon on April 20th, Delisi Police Station collaborated with the Wafangdian City 610 Office¹ to put Ms. Hong into Wafangdian City Detention Centre and Ms. Cong into Yaojia Detention Centre in Dalian City. Because of Ms. Cong's desperate condition, Yaojia Detention Centre refused to accept her. However, Huang Xiaoqun, the deputy director of Delisi Police Station, called higher authorities to force Yaojia Detention Centre to accept Ms. Cong. They said to Yaojia Detention Centre, "At her age, holding her in jail for several days won't cause any problems." On the way to the Yaojia Detention Centre, Huang said to Ms. Cong, "If you want to be released, tell you family to come give us money." (Ms. Cong is now home.)

On the morning of April 24th, the Political, Economic, and Cultural Security Section of the Wafangdian City Police Station conspired with the Delisi Police Station and the Wafangdian Zhanqian Police Station to ransack Ms. Hong and Ms. Cong's homes, work places, and daughters' homes using the keys they found on Ms. Hong and Ms. Cong. They also took away Ms. Hong's car.

Ms. Hong is still being held in Wafangdian Detention Centre. Her family has gone there many times asking for her and her car, but the person directly responsible, Huang Xiaoqun, said that he was only following the orders of Liu Jun, who is the captain of the Political, Economic, and Cultural Security Section.
