Five Practitioners from Zunhua, Hebei Province Held in Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp

Meng Qingyun, Wang Baihua and three other Falun Gong practitioners from Zunhua, Hebei Province were detained in Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp.

On May 10th, more than fifty practitioners gathered together in Dang Xiaofen's home in Jiazhuangzi Village, Shimen County to read Falun Gong books. However, they were reported by someone. The Zunhua 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) ordered officers from the Zunhua Police Department, Domestic Security Division and Department of the Armed Forces to arrest the practitioners, with the exception of two elderly practitioners. The practitioners were held in the Zunhua Detention Centre and the brainwashing centre located on the upper floor of the detention centre. Eight practitioners from Jiazhuangzi Village were held there.

After being extorted for large amounts of money, several practitioners have been released. The amount of money that the police demanded varied from 2,000 to 10,000 yuan¹. Meng Qingyun, Wang Baihua, Li Chunyan, Hao Yanqin, Qi Shuling from Jiazhuangzi Village and Dang Xiaolan, Dang Xiaoyan, Gao Meie from Qujiapu Village were held in the forced labour camp by Zunhua 610 Office personnel.

After they underwent a physical examination at the Kaiping Labour Camp, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, Li Chunyan, Hao Yanqin, Qi Shuling were said to have illnesses and the labour camp refused to accept them. The other five practitioners were held in the Kaiping Labour Camp and were later transferred to Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp. They were sentenced to one to two years of forced labour.

The Zunhua 610 Office held the three practitioners in the Zunhau Detention Centre and extorted 5,000 to 10,000 yuan from them before releasing them. Dang Xiaofen and Xie Yuxia from Jiazhuangzi Village, Shimen County also had money extorted before they were released.
