(Clearwisdom.net) There have been several cases of persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in Hefei City recently. Investigation shows that these cases were all arranged by Li Gang from Yaohai District Police Department and Wang Chuang from Yaohai District 610 Office, two criminals dedicated to persecuting Falun Gong. Other participating organizations include the street administration offices and police stations in charge of the areas where the practitioners live, as well as their workplaces. Authorities arrested practitioners and took them to two brainwashing centers. One was secretly set up at the Community Service Center on Heping Road of Yaohai District, and the other one was at the Anhui Province Police Officers' Institute.
Practitioners who were abducted and taken to the brainwashing center at the Community Service Center on Heping Road of Yaohai District (which is opposite to No. 31 Building, the Second Village of Anhui Province Construction Company) include:
Ms. Zhao Ronghua, in her 60s, is a retired worker from the textile company. On the afternoon of April 19, several policemen from Heping Road Street Administration Office and Police Station abducted her on her way home and took her to the brainwashing center.
Ms. Dai Gouqin, over 60 years old, lived in No. 32 Building, the Second Village of Anhui Province Construction Company. At approximately 3:00 p.m. on April 19, officers from Heping Road Police Station, Street Administration Office, Community Service Center and the Second Division of Anhui Province Construction Company came and took her away. Ms Dai protested with a hunger strike and was then taken to Heifei City No. 8 Hospital and given an injection against her will. The authorities failed to extort a "hospital fee" from her family members, so they had to release her. At 9:00 a.m. on May 8, about five or six officials again broke into her home and took her to the brainwashing center.
Mr. Zhang Haijun, in his 30s, is a staff member of the Transportation Division of Hefei Steel Company. On May 13, authorities from Yaohai District Political and Judicial Committee and Hongguang Street Administration Office seized him at work with the excuse of calling him to the Political and Judicial Committee to have a talk. Zhang Haijun had already been incarcerated for six months at Kaiyuan Guest House since April 2001, and his salary had not been paid for a long time.
Ms. Xu Qiong, over 40 years old, is a staff member from the Anhui Province Hengtong Machinery Factory. She was recently abducted from work. She has been sentenced to forced labor for practicing Falun Gong, and has even been illegally incarcerated for many days in the Hefei Steel Company Guest House, suffering from the persecution.
Practitioners who have been forced into the brainwashing center at Anhui Province Police Officer's Institute include:
Ms. Zhang Yulian, over 40 years old, a staff member from the Technical Control Division of Hefei Steel Company. On the morning of June 8, the criminals took her to the Heping Road Community Service Center under the pretext of having a talk. The next day, she was transferred to Anhui Province Police Officer's Institute for persecution. As Zhang Yulian firmly practices Falun Gong, she has been sentenced to forced labor and was incarcerated in a mental hospital.
Ms. Xu Xiaoxian, in her 40s, lived in Nanji Building at the Anfang First Village. She has been harassed, abducted and incarcerated repeatedly by the police. On the morning of May 13, while she was shopping with her family at Anfang Fruit Market, six or seven people who claimed to be from the Political and Judicial Committee surrounded her. They wanted to have a talk with her, but she firmly refused. They then tried to drag her away in public. Fortunately, her husband came in time and stopped them, and their plot failed. On the afternoon of June 8, they broke into Jiajiajie Supermarket, Ms. Xu's workplace, and abducted her and took her to the brainwashing center.
During the week from June 4 to June 10, other practitioners who were abducted included Mei Ting, Wang Jian, Ji Guangqui, Ji Guangxiong, Zhang Lanping and others. According to sources, the practitioners who were abducted are staging a hunger strike to protest, and their health is at serious risk.
