Elderly Female Dafa Practitioner Yang Xiangzhen Abducted by Police in Nanyang, Tanghe County, Henan Province

Nov. 20, 2002

(Clearwisdom.net) On September 10, 2002, several policemen forcefully took away 60-year-old Dafa practitioner Ms. Yang Xiangzhen from her home and kidnapped her to Tanghe County Custody Center. Policemen Cui Hanlin, Shi Juyong and others participated in the abduction.

Yang Xiangzhen had gone to appeal in Beijing in June 2000. After being arrested and sent back to Tanghe County, she was illegally detained for one month at Tanghe County Custody Center. Then she was transferred to Tanghe Detention Center for another one-and-a-half years of illegal imprisonment. During the detention period, she was fed only one bowl of thin porridge for breakfast and one bowl of noodle soup for lunch and supper each day. (The noodles had been taken out of the soup to feed fish, so only the broth was left for her and other Dafa practitioners.) She received no steamed buns, and was starved until she became terribly thin. Despite this treatment, she was still required to pay 18 Yuan every day for boarding. In November 2001, Yang Xiangzhen went on a hunger strike to protest, putting her life in danger. Afraid to take the responsibility for her health and life, the police sent her to Zhengzhou City for forced labor "re-education." The labor camp rejected her and told her family to take her back. When she had just recovered, in September, she was once again kidnapped and taken to Tanghe County Custody Center, where she remains.

Yang Xiangzhen has a husband who is in his 60s. He is ill and has difficulty walking by himself. The couple also has a 10-year-old grandson at school. The three of them depend on each other to make a living. This way of life is a terrible burden on their family. Kind people will hopefully provide help to them.
