Falun Gong practitioner Mr. He Binggang from Shanghai was arrested by officials from the Changning District Domestic Security Team's 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) on April 15th, 2010. The Changning District Procuratorate has indicted him.

In 2000, when Mr. He was a graduate student at Fudan University, he was detained and sentenced to forced labour for refusing to give up his practice of Falun Gong. In 2001, the Xuhui District Court of Shanghai sentenced him to six years in prison. Mr. He was detained at the Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai, and he was released in 2007.

Afterward, Mr. He formed his own company, Yuwen Technologies.

Around 10 a.m. on April 15th, 2010, Wang Yu from the Security Division of the Changning District Police Department sent an undercover plainclothes policeman to sell an old computer to Mr. He's company. Wang, dressed in plainclothes, waited upstairs in the Changning Technology Building, where Mr. He's company was located.

After the undercover officer left, Wang changed into a police uniform and led a group of policemen to Mr. He's company. They claimed that they were from the Tianshan Street Police Station of Changning District and that they had received a phone call from a witness saying that the company had a computer that had been obtained illegally. They searched the company and found a box of Falun Gong books and a Falun Gong DVD, which had been planted by another plainclothes policeman. Then they arrested Mr. He and took him to the Tianshan Street Police Station, where they interrogated and beat him, trying to coerce him to “admit” that the books and the DVD were his.

Mr. He has been interrogated three times since May 21st, 2010. During the interrogations, he was tortured and became disabled.

In January 2011, Gao Xun and Zhu Liqun (female), director of public prosecution in the Changning District Procuratorate, indicted Mr. He in the Changning District Court. They asked the court to sentence him to a heavy prison term, claiming that he owned Falun Gong books and that he had given a Falun Gong DVD to a division manager of his company.

In mid-March of 2011, the Changning District Court took Mr. He home and extorted his family for money, saying that it was for bail. However, on April 7th, his family received a court summons because Mr. He's trial was scheduled for April 18th. His family refused to accept the summons document. On April 15th, Yang Huixin, court director, and Zhou Weimin, presiding judge, forced his family to sign the summons.
