Persecution Suffered: Detention, forced labour, denied family visitation

Falun Gong practitioner Wang Junhua was arrested from her sister's home by police on June 29th, 2011 and taken to the Changping Detention Centre in Beijing. Without notifying her family, she was sentenced to two years of forced labour. On August 2nd, Ms. Wang was transferred to the Tiantanghe Women's Labour Camp in Beijing and has since then been transferred to the Huhehaote Women's Labour Camp in Inner Mongolia. As much as her family members have tried, the labour camp has refused to allow them to see her.

On the day that she was transferred, Ms. Wang had already been persecuted so severely that she was very weak. When her family members learned about this at the Changping Detention Centre, they immediately travelled to Tiantanghe Women's Labour camp to visit her. Yet, the authorities replied that they could not allow them to meet with her because the sentencing documents had not been processed. After much effort, her family finally realized that the sentencing papers were sent to Ms. Wang's former workplace in Mishan City, Heilongjiang Province. Yet, the police were well aware that she had lost her job 12 years ago because of the persecution. Moreover, her family members have also given their contact information to the detention centre. It was clear that the authorities were creating delays.

On August 29th, Wang Junhua's family members finally processed the sentencing papers and came to the labour camp to see her. Yet they were told that because Ms. Wang refused to give up her belief in Falun Gong she had been sent to Inner Mongolia. Even so, the exact location was withheld from the family. Only after Ms. Wang's family pressed the authorities, were they given a postal code.

After much investigation, Ms. Wang's family finally found out that she had been sent to the Huhehaote Women's Forced Labour Camp in Inner Mongolia and had been imprisoned in the Second Section. According to sources, over twenty practitioners were transferred along with Ms. Wang.
