(Clearwisdom.net) The Communist Party publicly cracked down on Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999. Since then, practitioner Mr. Yang Huilin of Shenzhou City, Hebei Province, has suffered illegal arrest, imprisonment, extortion, and torture at the hand of the local 610 Office and police several times. His family finally broke down and fell apart. At the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp, Mr. Yang was tied up and tortured with seven or eight electric-shock batons. His food was poisoned with the drug Ecstasy, and he was almost buried alive by the guards. After fleeing the camp, he had little choice but to be destitute and homeless for a long time. His wife, Ms. Yang Xiaowen, died from persecution.

Some of those who persecuted the Yang family are:

Yin Yuzhen, Shenzhou City Political and Judiciary Committee Secretary in Hebei Province

Ji Jie and Wang Jinggang at the 610 Office brainwashing center

Zhao Enxue, Shenzhou City Detention Center Director

Jia Shuangwan, Shenzhou Police Department Political and Security Section Director

Zhang Yuanxiang, political and security section of Shenzhou City Police Department

Song Qingzhuang, Bingcao Township Political and Law Committee Secretary

Tian Shining, director of Bingcao Township Police Station

On December 18, 1999, Mr. Yang Huilin and his wife, Ms. Yang Xiaowen, went to Beijing to protest the suppression of Falun Dafa. They were arrested on their way home and taken to the police station by the political and security section heads of Shenzhou City Police Department, Jia Shuangwan and Shang Yunhang. Four policemen beat Mr. Yang Huilin. They shocked him with high-voltage electric batons and slapped him in the face. He was detained until February or March 2000. He was not released until he was fined several hundred yuan. His wife, Yang Xiaowen, was detained for more than one month.

In August 2000, Mr. Yangwas arrested again by the local police in Bingcao Township. The political and judiciary committee secretary, Song Qingzhuang, attacked him brutally to try to force him to give up his belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Yang Huilin did not yield to them, so they released him.

On December 18, 2000, Ji Jie of Shenzhou City 610 Office and Song Qingzhuang led eight to nine others to arrest Ms. Yang Xiaowen. That night Jia Shuangwan and someone else arrested her son, Yang Deqiang. Yang Deqiang was handcuffed behind his back and thrown into the trunk of the car. This was witnessed by Mr. Yang's neighbor. On the way to the car, Jia Wangwan slapped Yang Deqiang on the face. At the city police department, Jia Shuangwan and Zhang Yuanxiang coerced a confession from Yang Deqiang by torturing him. They stepped on his cuffed hands and slapped him in the face for long time. Around 7:00pm, Jia Shuangwan forced Yang Deqiang to give his fingerprints and secretly sent him to the detention center. Yang Deqiang refused to comply with them. Zhang Yuanxiang brutally stomped on Mr. Yang's head. Several others pummeled him with their fists and feet. He passed out several times and was then hit to wake him up. The police also fired a gun.

Later Jia Shuangwan and Zhang Yuanxiang took Yang Deqiang to a small hut. They made him lie on the floor with his face down. They took off his shoes and trousers and took turns beating him with a leather belt. Zhang continued when Jia got tired. This lasted for a long time. Yang Deqiang was so strong that he didn't make a sound. Later, Jia Shuangwan brought a bamboo torture device to ruthlessly hit the back of Mr. Yang's hands. Afterwards, he was locked up in a metal cage in the detention center. Jia Shuangwan said, "Nobody can see him." Mr. Yang endured great suffering. He was mercilessly beaten by other criminals and was illegally interrogated six to seven times a day. Almost every time, he was coerced to confess by means of torture.

On January 11, 2001 Yang Deqiang and his mother, Ms. Yang Xiaowen, were "illegally sentenced" to a labor camp for three years. At Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp, Mr. Yang Deqiang was tortured with electric batons, mercilessly beaten, brainwashed, force-fed ,and so on. The electric shock was done by 202nd squadron commander Zhang Li at the Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp. Mr. Yang was mercilessly beaten by Bian Shuqiang. The brainwashing was done by Dong Yi. The force-feeding was done by the administration section police officer, Wang Jun. The guards also instigated criminal inmates such as Qi Jianliang, Wang Yuntao from Henan Province, Wu Shaomin from Liaoning Province, and others to mercilessly beat practitioners. Mr. Yang Deqiang was illegally imprisoned for nearly one and a half years. His spirit was devastated and his body was extremely weak. He nearly lost his eyesight. He lost control of his bodily functions and had blood in his stool. Mr. Yang Deqiang was so brutally beaten by Jia Shuangwan and Zhang Yuanxiang from Shenzhou City that he had internal injury. Even now the bruises can still be seen on his buttocks.

Around 11a.m. on December 18, 2000, Ms. Yang Xiaowen was arrested. At first, she was persecuted for one night at Bingcao Township Police Station. Later she was delivered to the detention center. Twenty days later, she was sentenced to three years of forced labor. She was transfered to the Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp. Ms. Yang Xiaowen did not cooperate. The guards' force-feeding caused her nostril to hemorrhage. She became weaker day after day. To avoid responsibility, the guards informed the Shenzhou City 610 brainwashing center to pick her up. In April, 2001, Bingcao Township government brought her back. However, they wanted to extort 2000 yuan to release her. Through thorough clarifying the truth, Ms. Yang Xiaowen was released.

Husband and Wife Detained in a Brainwashing Center

One day in August, 2001, before dawn, the Shenzhou City Political and Judiciary Committee Secretary, Yin Yuzhen, instigated the police to break in the Yang home. They arrested Ms. Yang Xiaowen and took her to the 610 Office brainwashing center. She went on a hunger strike for ten days. She was as thin as a rail. Mr. Yang Huilin visited his wife during this time. Later, because the police did not want to take responsibility, they called the family to take her home.

Shortly after Ms. Yang Xiaowen returned home and before fully recovering, Mr. Yang Huilin was caught and returned to the brainwashing center. Bingcao Township Political and Judiciary Committee Secretary Song Qingzhuang brutally attacked him. Several people encircled him and ruthlessly pinched his neck. This caused Mr. Yang to be unable to eat anything for a long time. He was released two months later.

On February 13, 2004 police officer Jia Shuangwan and eight to nine other police, led by the Matun Village security guard, used the excuse of looking for practitioners who publicly clarify the truth to break into the Yang home. They arrested Mr. Yang and took him to the police station. About ten days later, he was transferred to the detention center for further persecution.

At the detention center, Mr. Yang Huilin overheard Director Zhao Enxue's telephone conversation. The one on the other end of the line said, "Why still keep him? Release him." Zhao replied, "No, no. I can't release him. I'll send him to the labor camp." Thus Zhao Enxue should be the person directly responsible for sending Mr. Yang Huilin to the labor camp.

The Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp refused to accept any Falun Gong practitioners because there were too many of them. They could not "convert" that many. So the Bingcao Township local police station sent Mr. Yang Huilin to the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp. There, Yang Huilin was tied up completely and shocked with seven to eight electric batons. They put Ecstasy in his food, but the drug didn't take effect. When two guards went over to him to look at him, and they found that Mr. Yang still opened his eyes, they were scared. They quickly went out the door and whispered, "How come his eyes are still open? How can we bury him like this? Alive?" Mr. Yang heard this discussion very clearly. He thought: "So vicious. I've got to leave here."

On September 5, 2004, around 7:00 p.m., Yang Huilin took the chance when two guards went over to one side. He rapidly went down from the fourth floor, and passed through more than 200 meters of courtyard in the fifth brigade, bound for the south entrance. Under Master's merciful protection, he gracefully walked out, right under the eyes of two gatekeepers. Yang Huilin laid in a field of crops for three days and three nights. He passed through the police, layer by layer, and went out Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp with righteous thoughts. Unable to return home, Mr. Yang Huilin is now destitute and homeless.

On April 14, 2005, Jia Zhituo and Ji Yingqiu went to Yang Huilin's home to threaten Ms. Yang Xiaowen, his wife. They asked her to give them a one meter swath of her land on the south for no reason. Ms. Yang Xiaowen tried to speak rationally with them. Jia and Ji knew that they were short of reasons but still unceasingly harassed her. The two wouldn't leave until Yang Huilin's younger brother came.

The continuous persecution devastated Ms. Yang Xiaowen mentally and physically One morning, she suddenly fell to the ground and lost feeling on one side of her body. A hospital exam said that it was a stroke. After suffering for more than three months, she died on August 6, 2005. Ms. Yang Xiaowen did not see her husband, Yang Huilin, before she died.

Currently, Mr. Yang Huilin is still destitute and homeless. The eldest son, Yang Deqiang, was the only one left at home to take care of the planting, and he withstood pain that an average person could hardly withstand. The younger son is still at college and lives in a difficult situation. His school expenses were paid by his relatives and fellow villagers. Now, he faces having to drop out of school because of financial difficulty. Mr. Yang Huilin's harmonious family was broken up and decimated by the persecution.

The fellow senior villagers of Shenzhou City and Yang Huilin's family suffered persecution only because they believed in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. How many families like Yang Huilin's have suffered such persecution?! No wonder some elderly people have said, "What a society it has turned out to be. It is dead. Do we, who have wives and children, brothers and sisters, ever think about what happens if we don't have the right to be good? Those who persecute good people are bad."

The universe will take over what humans have failed. The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is circulating and being read around the world. Nearly 14 million people have resigned from the Communist Party and its affiliated organizations. More than 30,000 people resign from the Party and its affiliated organizations daily. The days until the Chinese Communist Party is extinguished are numbered. We sincerely hope those who are closely aligned with the Chinese Communist Party to persecute Falun Gong practitioners do not continue to work for them for a few dollars, but instead back off, so that they may have a glorious future for themselves and their families. We also hope that all people of conscience step forward to stop this persecution and defend justice.
