Ribs Broken in Beatings, Doused With Icy Water in Minus 30 Degree Conditions - Facts of the Persecution at Fangzheng Forest Bureau, Heilongjiang Province (Phone Numbers Included)

(Clearwisdom.net)

Ms. Liu Zhiying has been illegally detained for two years and three months, including one year of forced labor, for distributing Dafa truth-clarifying flyers. She has sustained broken ribs from beatings for practicing the Dafa exercises. She was not allowed to have any blankets and was forced to sleep on a bare wooden bed during the winter, for over one month. She was released in April of 2002. But one month later, on May 1st, she was illegally arrested again and sent to a detention center. She held two hunger strikes during her unlawful detention. "610 Office"1 officials, though, still refused to release her and held her for additional persecution. Now she has been sent to a hospital because of her extremely weak health.

Ms. Zhu Xiumei and Ms. Qu were doused with cold water in the winter for practicing the Dafa exercises. Even when the temperature was below minus 30 degrees Celsius [minus 200F], they were forced to stay outside for over two hours without winter coats. Li Tingjun, Deputy Chief of the Police Department remained at the detention center to oversee the persecution.

Ms. Jian Yuqin has been illegally sentenced to two years of forced labor because she went to Beijing to validate Dafa in 2002. She was also illegally detained at the Drug Rehabilitation and Forced Labor Camp in Harbin City, where she was severely tortured, and on the verge of death. The labor camp requested the "610 Office" affiliated with Fangzheng County Forest Bureau to take her back, but they did not want to take responsibility for the crime. The labor camp authorities were forced to send Jian Yuqin back home. The "610 Office" enforcers deployed four policemen and eight other personnel from a residential committee to work around the clock to monitor her. As soon as Jian Yuqin got well, their orders were to immediately take her back to the detention center. This made it necessary for Jian Yuqin to leave home to avoid further persecution, even though she was still in an extremely weak condition. Now no one knows her whereabouts.

Mr. Li Hongkui has been sentenced to forced labor re-education for one year because he went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa in February of 2000. In 2001, after his term expired, he was not released, and is still being detained. He has now been persecuted and unlawfully held at this detention center for more than three years.

In March 2003, Ms. Ma picked up a Falun Gong truth-clarifying flyer in front of her door. After she read it, she felt that it was very good and wanted to have more people read it. So she posted the flyer in a prominent place. Han Dongyi, Politics and Security Section Chief from the police department found out what she had done. This lawless policeman detained her for 15 days and extorted 2,000 Yuan2 from her before releasing her. In the winter of 2002, he also extorted 1,400 Yuan from two elderly women, Ms. Man and Ms. Wang.

Recently, enforcers from the "610 Office," the Fangzheng County Forest Bureau, the Police Department, Prosecuting Office, the court, residential street committees and other organizations began illegally monitoring and arresting Falun Gong practitioners.
