Doctor Zhang Dianguo Wanted and Present Whereabouts Unknown; Children Implicated

A doctor and Falun Gong practitioner, Mr. Zhang Dianguo from Yi County, Liaoning Province, has lived away from home for close to three years in order to avoid persecution. The local police ordered the arrest of Mr. Zhang, calling it “a big case.” They keep monitoring the family. Mr. Zhang’s adult children planned to look for a job, but the Communist regime refused to issue them identification documents and thus deprived them of their right to make a living.

Persecution Experiences of Mr. Zhang Dianguo and His Family:

Around 5:00 p.m on June 29th, 2008, Yi County Domestic Security team leader Jiang Cheng, deputy leader Liu Haizhi, political head Wang Ning, and several policemen—Ma Jian, Bi Jianguo, Zhou Hualai, and Feng—arrived in two black cars and broke into Mr. Zhang’s home. They arrested Mr. Zhang and his wife, Guo Guixiang, took them to the Yi County Detention Centre, and planned to interrogate them the next day. The following day, June 30th, 2008, around 6:00 a.m. the police forced several people, including Mr. Zhang, to wash cars. Mr. Zhang escaped, and no one knows his present whereabouts.

The Yi County Police Department agents fabricated accusations and ordered Mr. Zhang's arrest. They sent Mr. Zhang’s wife, Guo Guixiang, to a forced labour camp. Local police have harassed the family during the past three years. Ever since Ms. Guo’s term was up, the police have kept her under surveillance.

The four people in Mr. Zhang’s family relied on income from his clinic. Due to Mr. Zhang's illegal arrest, the family lost their source of income and subsist on Guo Guixiang’s temporary income. The two adult children wanted to apply for jobs, to help eliminate some of their mother’s stress and ease the family’s tight financial circumstances. However, without proper ID, this will not be possible

They were told by the local government that they first needed to go to the Yizhou Township Police Station to fill out a registration form. Police officials there told them that because their father was wanted, the information in the computer was inaccessible. They told them to go to the ID card office and have them make contact with the Jinzhou City government office. Once the information was released, they would be able to issue the ID.

The young people returned to the ID card office, where the management in that office inquired with their “upper management.” The response was that Mr. Zhang’s case was big and needed even tighter control. They were told that they would not get their ID cards, and the entire family would be monitored.

Mr. Zhang’s clinic is renowned countywide. Many patients came as a result of recommendations by word of mouth. His fees are low. Even a police officer who had previously persecuted him came to his clinic. Mr. Zhang not only did not bear him any grudge, but instead patiently offered him medical treatment. This policeman witnessed the wonder of Falun Gong from Mr. Zhang and started treating the practitioners kindly.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has persecuted a good doctor over and over again and arrested Mr. Zhang ten times. His wife was sent to forced labour camp four times. Mr. Zhang’s family has been torn apart. Their savings have been used up. Even so, the CCP has not stopped persecuting Mr. Zhang’s family and even implicated his adult children by denying them the chance at earning a living.
