The Persecution of an Older Couple in Qiqihar
2010-12-05
In December 2004, police surrounded the whole building where another practitioner and I lived. They broke the lock, and several people barged in and pushed me down on the floor, stepping on my face. I was only in my underwear, but they still threw me into a van and drove me to a secret site at Yaohulu Police Farm. I was forced to sit on an iron chair in just my underwear. My hands and feet were shackled. Officer Jiang Chen stepped on and kicked my hands and feet while they were cuffed. On July 20th, 2006, I was sentenced to prison and were sent to Tailai Prison in Qiqihar. In 2007, the prison tried to brainwash all of the Falun Gong practitioners and make us write the three statements to renounce practising Falun Gong. On April 6th, 2008, I was released. Now my wife and I have no fixed place to stay. -
