On August 11, 2006, branch head Wang Wen and other officers in the Changling County Security Branch of Songyuan, Jilin Province, illegally arrested Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang Lei. Mr. Zhang was a driver for a factory in Jiti Victory Village, Changling County. The police detained him in Changlin County Detention Center and tried to force him to write a guarantee statement promising to no longer practice Falun Gong. When he refused, they sentenced him to forced labor for one year. Mr. Zhang was examined and diagnosed with a serious illness, but Wang Wen didn't allow him to be released. He repeatedly attempted to send Mr. Zhang to a forced labor camp.
On October 31, the police sent Mr. Zhang to Jiutai Yingmahe Forced Labor Camp in Jilin. The doctor there diagnosed Mr. Zhang with a serious heart condition and hepatitis and refused to accept him. But Wang Wen still didn't allow his release. Instead, he sent Zhang Lei to Changling County Detention Center and extorted 1,000 yuan from his family.
On November 4, Zhang Lei's family went to the detention center to ask for his release. Mr. Zhang told his family that his illness was serious and asked Wang Wen to release him. But as soon as Wang Wen arrived at work the next morning, he handcuffed Zhang Lei behind his back, fettered him, and sent him to Jiangbei Center Hospital in Songyuan City to be examined. He attempted to falsify Zhang Lei's health record so that he could continue persecuting him.
Mr. Zhang Lei is currently detained in the Changling County Detention Center.
