Lawless Officials Kidnap, Torture and Sexually Molest Dafa Practitioners in the Baoding Region of Hebei Province

On August 23 and August 27, 2002, a handful of Dafa practitioners tapped into a satellite TV system to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa, resulting in many viewers learning the facts. The viewers started to see through the deception that they faced from government propaganda. As a result, these lawless officials panicked and carried out even more barbarous persecution against the Dafa practitioners.

On the night of August 27, five practitioners were arrested, and they are currently being detained in the Xushui Detention Centre. This satellite TV incident shocked people in the National Security Department. As revealed by one of the local officers, security department authorities came to question people twice. The local officers, in order to keep their positions, regaled these authorities with lavish dinners and presents, spending almost ten thousand Yuan of taxpayers' money in the process. [The average monthly salary for an urban worker is about 500 Yuan; for rural workers only 200 Yuan per month.] They then used torture devices to torment the arrested practitioners, and harassed and arrested the local practitioners at their residences without giving any reason.

Lawless officers in the Xiongxian Region formed several teams. Their initial plan was to capture, by the end of September, all Dafa practitioners who left their homes to avoid persecution. However, their plan has fallen through, even though they arrested some practitioners at their residences. Recently, the police arrested at least twenty practitioners and sent them to brainwashing classes. The brainwashing class manager, Xing Fengjun, lead his followers to trample on the female Dafa practitioners' dignity and abused them like thugs. Female Dafa practitioners who were steadfast in their faith and unyielding to the villains' demands were forced to be clothed in only their pants. The villains used pliers to pinch the nipples of the female practitioners and used electric batons to shock them.

On the night of September 23, at around 10:00 p.m., evildoers from the Daying Township Detention Centre forcibly barged into the residence of a female Dafa practitioner. They did not listen to reason and attempted to kidnap her, disregarding her protests. Her husband came forward to stop them. The practitioner seized this opportunity and escaped. Her husband was then arrested and taken to the county detention centre. The police declared that they would sentence him to two years of imprisonment. The family's nine-month-old baby who still needs to be breastfed and his aged grandfather were left at home to fend for themselves.
