Ms. Huang didn't give in and resisted the persecution with righteous thoughts; however, her life is currently in danger. Chongzhou City's 610 Office notified her aged father to pay 500 yuan in order to take her home.

With the righteous voices of her relatives, who stood up her, this abduction attempt ended in vain. Nevertheless, at 10:00 a.m. on November 5, Ms. Guan was arrested on her way to a drugstore to buy medicine for her chickens. The police took her to the Xinxing Police Station and Chief Yang Xu and Duan Yingwei detained her. Her family could not find her anywhere that day. They found her the second day when they went to the police station. Guan Jinghua was locked in a small, dark room. Her family wanted to see her, but the police denied their request. Her family members questioned the police, "Why did you detain Guan Jinghua?" The reply was, "Guan Jinghua told people about Falun Dafa."

They even went to his work place to demand money from his salary. The president of the factory had no choice but give the police 110 yuan. The village Party secretary Liu Zhongyong forced Mr. Zhai's family to pay 6,000 yuan, otherwise, he claimed, Zhai Shanyong would be sentenced to at least two to three years of forced labor.

So far, five practitioners from that factory have been abducted from their workplaces and taken to the Chenjiaji Brainwashing Class.

In 2002, Liu Guoqing from the 610 Office in Fucheng County, Hebei Province abducted practitioner Ms. Liu Jianxin and took her to Hengshui City's Brainwashing Class in Hebei Province. Liu Jianxin went on a hunger strike to protest. She was force-fed on the third day and seventh day of her hunger strike. The force-feeding tube was roughly inserted every day during the 26 days of the hunger strike. The insertion was extremely painful. Afterwards, Jianxin vomited and had diarrhea. The tube turned black from blood stains. The doctor performing the force-feeding said, "Let's simply force-feed her to death!" Personnel from the 610 Office said, "Her brother just died (practitioner Liu Qiusheng was tortured to death). We had better not!"

Zheng Genqi of the Hengshui Brainwashing Class ordered someone to prop up the bed in order to prevent practitioner Liu Jinaxin from sleeping. Zheng also dragged her to isolated places to beat her. Wang Changxin and Zheng Genqi from the brainwashing class also beat her with a bamboo stick and punched her face. They beat her five or six times.

Police officer Wang Changxin grabbed her arms and Zheng Genqi struck at her hips with a 2-meter-long wooden shovel handle. Wang Xiuming's buttocks quickly became black and blue and she could not sit down. The second time, Wang Changxin beat her back. After Wang Xiuming was sent back, Zhang Jianshun still beat her, and Wang Chengyu brutally slapped her face.

Mr. Zhao's son, a secondary school student, said, "This is an illegal search." The police intended to beat the child, which frightened Mr. Zhao's mother-in-law so severely that she fainted.

They got into a car, chased the two practitioners and arrested them. They called the county's 610 Office and personnel in the Political and Security section of the police department, and then sent the practitioners to a detention center.

Police officers Li and Liu climbed over a wall and broke into the two practitioners' houses in Xiaozhangzhuang, Liangji Township, Jing County. They took away all Falun Gong books and materials.

19. [Xingyang City, Henan Province] Repeat Arrest of Xu Xiaoguo

After three rounds of brutal tortures, Mr. Xu Xiaoguo became extremely weak and had symptoms of Hepatitis B. The symptoms were very severe. With no choice, the Baimiao Forced Labor Camp allowed Mr. Xu to be released on bail for treatment.

Three months later, forced labor camp guards went to Mr. Xu's home to harass him. They demanded to see the hospital diagnosis certificate. His father already knew that his son had been shocked with electric batons and also force-fed with a highly concentrated saline solution, which put his life in peril. The aged father was very angry at the arrival of the police. He and his son exposed the atrocities to villagers and explained how Falun Dafa teaches people to be good.

The guards had no choice but leave. They then colluded with police from the Chengguan Township Police Precinct in Xingyang City to entrap Xu Xiaoguo. On November 26, 2004, personnel from the Chengguan Township Police Precinct deceived Xu Xiaoguo and his family. Xu Xiaoguo left home again and he has not come back.

20. [Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province] Chi Haimin Tortured to the Point of Mental Breakdown

In July 1999, Mr. Chi Haimin, a reporter for the Ningbo Evening, went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, but local police took him to a mental hospital for persecution, Ningbo City's Kangning Hospital. After he was released, associate Party secretary Zhang Songmao, in charge of human resources at the Ningbao Evening, demoted him to the distribution department from his post of headline news reporter.

In January 2001, Chi Haimin went to Beijing to appeal for the second time, but was sent to a forced labor camp for two and a half years. Chi Haimin's family did their best to help him get out of the camp. He was released eight months later. Zhang Songmao, the deputy Party secretary, requested the police department to send Chi Haimin to the Kangning Hospital again. After nine months of torture in the hospital, Chi Haimin was mentally traumatized.

In 2003, Zhang Songmao canceled Chi Haimin's qualification to be a news reporter.

In 2004, Chi Haimin's salary was reduced by 5,000 yuan every month. Several days ago, Zhang Songmao urged the Party committee to dismiss their labor contract with Chi Haimin.
