(Clearwisdom.net) Since Jiang's group launched the persecution against Falun Dafa in 1999, the practitioners in Changye area, Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, have been exposed to unimaginable, inhuman persecution, arrest, beatings, detainment and even torture to death, just because they persist in practicing Falun Gong, appeal for Falun Gong according to their rights as citizens and clarify the truth to people about the persecution against Falun Gong. Their families also suffer. The following facts reveal the extent of persecution in this area.
Ms. Cheng Qiaoyun, 46, is an employee of the Property Branch of Jiulong Industrial Company of Daqing Petroleum Management Bureau.
In October 1999, Ms. Cheng was illegally forced to attend a brainwashing class for 28 days just because she practiced Falun Gong. During that period, she lost her personal freedom. At the end of 1999, since she practiced Falun Gong, her normal pay raise of two levels of salary was illegally cancelled.
On February 28, 2000, when she went to Beijing to appeal, she was abducted by police and detained in an steel cage. Later on, after the local police took her back, she was sent to the Daqing City's Detention Center and detained for a month.
At the beginning of June 2000, she went to the provincial government to appeal and was forced to pay a fine of 4000 yuan [500 Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China].
On June 18, 2000, her company and the local police station tried to force her to write a guarantee to stop practicing. During that period, she was continually monitored and lost her personal freedom. They threatened to send her to a labor camp if she did not write the letter. They pressured her husband so much that he was compelled to divorce Ms. Cheng, after which they continued the persecuting her. The company forcibly sent Ms. Cheng to a brainwashing center. She was again monitored by police and completely lost her personal freedom. She was detained in the brainwashing center for three months. She was first charged 200 yuan for board expenses and then 1275 yuan, but not given a receipt . When the brainwashing program was over, she was charged another 500 yuan and then allowed to go back to her company.
From February to November of 2000, Ms. Cheng did not receive any salary or other income. Her work unit did not give her even the basic living allowance of 300 yuan per month, and even told her to pay 7500 yuan. When she went to withdraw the money by selling her employment benefit package in December of 2000, Miao Hongcai, the Secretary of her work unit, told her to first pay 2000 yuan deposit before she could withdraw the money. When the accumulation fund was given out in April of 2001, she did not receive her share. Instead, her work unit told her to pay 5200 yuan for the expense of taking her back from Beijing first. She still has not received any money.
In December of 2000, Ms. Cheng went to Beijing to appeal again and was arrested. Since she would not give her name or address, she was sent to the Jianping County's Detention Center in Liaoning Province and illegally detained for almost two months. She went on a hunger strike to request her unconditional release, but she was tortured by force-feeding. When her family went to pick her up, the police charged them a release fee of 1000 yuan and the officials at the detention center charged the board expense of about 700 yuan.
At the beginning of May 2001, Ms. Cheng and several fellow practitioners went to the countryside to clarify the truth. She was taken to the Daqing City's Detention Center and detained for about 30 days. During that period, she went on a hunger strike to request her unconditional release. Again they force-fed and tortured her. At first, they force-fed her once every two or three days, later once a day, and finally twice a day. In 26 days, Ms. Cheng was tortured nearly to death and was extremely thin. Afraid she would die in the detention center, the officials asked her family to take her back. Just a few days after she was released, the local police went to her home and tried to arrest her. She was forced to become homeless in order to avoid being illegally arrested at home. Still, she was arrested at the room she rented. When she was detained in the Daqing City's Detention Center, she was questioned and beaten many times. Later, she was illegally sentenced and detained in the Haerbin City's Women Jail. In the jail, she was often detained in cells because she would not give up practicing.
On May 27, 2004, her two-year prison term expired, but the Haerbin City's Women Jail, the Daqing City's "610 Office" colluded with Ms. Cheng's former work unit to deceive her family who came to pick her up and sent her to the brainwashing center.
Ms. Zhang Shuyun, 48, worked in the No. 2 Property Company of Daqing City.
On February 28, 2000, Ms. Zhang Shuyun went to Beijing to appeal and validate that Falun Dafa is good. After she was arrested in the Tiananmen Square in Beijing, she was taken back by the local police station and detained in the Daqing City's Detention Center for 30 days. Later, the Jiulong Property Company laid her off. In May 2000, Wang Fengchun of the Security Office of the No. 9 Oil Extraction Factory went to the company where Ms. Zhang's husband worked and illegally deducted 1000 yuan from his wages.
On December 26, 2000, Ms. Zhang went to Beijing again to validate Falun Dafa. She displayed a banner in Tiananmen Square and shouted "Falun Dafa is good". The Tiananmen Square police took her away. Because she would not reveal her name or address, she was sent to the Huairou County's Detention Center. She went on a hunger strike, asking for her unconditional release, but the guards beat and kicked her and shocked her with electric batons. After the criminal prisoners searched her and stole 700 yuan from her, she was sent to Longhua County, Hebei Province, and detained for about 20 days.
Ms. Zhang has been persecuted until she had to leave her home in order to avoid the constant harassment and illegal arrest. The police have visited her home to harass her family many times.
Ms. Zhao Hongying, 45, is a worker's dependent of the No.2 Property Company.
On March 1, 2000, Ms. Zhao Hongying was laid off because she practiced Falun Gong. She attended a group practice on June 18, 2000 and was abducted by the local police. Because she would not write the "guarantee", she was sent to the Honggang District Detention Center, detained for two days and forced to pay 200 yuan. After that, she was sent to the Daqing City's Detention Center and detained for 41 days. During the period of detention, she was beaten because she practiced the exercises.
On December 27, 2000, Ms. Zhao went to Beijing for appeal and was detained in a large steel cage in the Qianmen Detention Center for a whole afternoon. Then she was transferred to the Chaoyang Detention Center. Whenever she said, "Dafa is good" or practiced the exercises, she was beaten. So she went on a hunger strike in protest. Since she did not tell her address or name, she was sent to the Suizhong County's Detention Center of Liaoning Province, where practitioners who do not tell their names and addresses are handcuffed, beaten, kicked and tortured by the guards in various ways.
On January 17, 2991, Ms. Zhao was taken back by the local police and detained in the Daqing City's Detention Center for 30 days. Then she was sent to the Honggang District Detention Center and detained for 27 days.
On January 17, 2001, Wang Xueping and Chang Guixing of the Suizhong County's Detention Center extorted 1128 yuan from Ms. Zhao; Liu He and Zhang Baodong of the local police station extorted 3372 yuan.
In 2001 and 2002, the Chuangye Police searched her home and confiscated her personal property many times. Once, even the Secretary of her husband's work unit and other leaders of the factory were on the scene.
One time, Ms. Zhao delivered the truth-clarifying CDs to her relatives. She was detained by the Daqing City's Railway Station and sent to the Railway No.3 Detention Center in Qiqihaer City, Heilongjiang Province. During this period of detention, she was beaten and tortured many times. Later, she was sent to the Harbin City's Female Forced Labor Camp.
Mr. Li Yequan, 36, has a bachelor's degree and is a former technician of the No.2 Plant of the Daqing Perforation Bomb Factory.
Since Mr. Li Yequan persisted in practicing Falun Gong, he has been detained in detention centers and beaten many times. At the end of 2000, he was sent to the brainwashing center at Beian Farm and later illegally sent to the Daqing Forced Labor Camp. He was beaten and tortured many times in the labor camp. At the end of March 2001, Mr. Li was forced to wear thin clothing and be exposed to the winter cold outdoors until he was so cold he lost consciousness. During his 20-day hunger strike, the guards would not monitor his condition, claiming to be testing how many days he could live.
At the end of July 2003, Mr. Li was sent to the Hongweixing Brainwashing Center in Daqing City. After the Chuangye Police Station interrogated him using torture for two days to extort a confession, Mr. Li was sent to the detention center. After he went on a hunger strike for about ten days, he was sent back home, but he was forced to leave home in order to avoid being illegally arrested at home.
Mr. Sun Shuping, 56, is a worker of the No.2 Property Company of the Daqing Petroleum Management Bureau.
Because Mr. Sun Shuping attended a group practice on June 18, 2000, he was illegally detained for ten days. The day after he was released, his work unit forced him to attend the brainwashing session held by the Economic Police Brigade of the No. 2 Property Company. They used various means to force him to give up the practice. During these eleven days, Han Wende of the Economic Police Brigade extorted 1275 yuan from him and illegally fined him 2000 yuan. After he went back to work, his work unit stopped paying his wages and bonus for six months. Miao Hongcai of the Property Company extorted the "security deposit" of 20,000 yuan from him and withheld the housing accumulation fund of 6314 yuan.
In 2002, he was sentenced to forced labor because he went to Beijing for appeal. Since the results of his physical examination disqualified him for forced labor, he was released on bail for medical treatment. However, his work unit still went to his home and harassed him, making it impossible to live at home. After he left, his work unit continued to harass his family.
Ms. Wang Xiuling is an employee of the Chuangye Property Branch of the Jiulong Industrial Company.
The Chuangye Police sent Ms. Wang Xiuling to the detention center many times, and her work unit sent her to the brainwashing center. Later, she was illegally sentenced to one year's forced labor because she practiced the exercises outdoors. In the forced labor camp, she was beaten and forced to do labor because she did not give up the practice. After she was released, she was transferred to a lower work level and became a maintenance worker in the No.1 maintenance team, although she was employed as a teacher in the day care. She was only paid the basic living allowance of 300 yuan per month. Later, she was detained because she went to Beijing again. After she went on a hunger strike and was released, the local police continued to harass her and she was finally laid off. She was forcibly sent to the brainwashing center twice in one month. In an attempt to escape arrest, she jumped from the third floor of her building, and suffered several fractures in her legs and feet. She is no longer capable of working for a living and needs care.
In the Chuangye area, eight other practitioners were illegally arrested and sent to the detention center. Four of them were sentenced to forced labor but were released on bail for medical treatment due to disqualification upon physical examination.
In the small Chuangye area, just for trying to improve themselves morally, dozens of people were illegally detained. More than ten people were sentenced and sent to forced labor camp. Altogether, they were fined over 10,000 yuan. Their families have all been affected.
It is a universal truth that good will be rewarded with good and evil with evil. Whoever commits wrongdoing will have to pay for his crimes in the end. In our Chuangye area, those who try to destroy Dafa have obtained retribution, which offers a warning to others.
Tian Ping, the former head of the Chuangye Police Station, sent many Falun Dafa practitioners to detention centers and forced labor camp. When he tortured Falun Dafa practitioner Xiong Xianqing who was about 60 years old, he asked: "Why don't you die in a car accident?" Strangely enough, he himself died in a car accident.
In Dawu Village, near Chuangye Village, a villager took Falun Dafa truth clarification flyers home to use as kindling in his kitchen fire, and said some words intending to defame Dafa. Later, he was badly injured and seriously burned when his home caught on fire.
