(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Qinghua from Zhuolu County was arrested on January 7, 2006. She is currently detained at Daxing County's Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp in Beijing. The persecution has left her mentally traumatized.

Ms. Zhang, 40 years old, was a resident of Wangzhuang Village in Baodai Township, Zhuolu County. She began Dafa practice in 1999 and firmly believes in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. She is a friendly and caring person. To make a living, two years ago she and her family moved to the Southern Zhangdai Village areas of Donggaocun Town in the Pinghu District close to Beijing.

On January 5, 2006, Ms. Zhang used her boss's telephone to call practitioner Yang Guilan's home in Zhuolu County. Ms. Yang had been persecuted and left home prior to the call. She asked Yang's daughter, "Is your mother home? This is Rehua (her nickname) and I am in the Pinghu District area." The next day, on January 6, someone called Ms. Zhang's phone and asked, "Are you Rehua?" Later the phone rang several times. Whenever Ms. Zhang answered the phone, there was silence on the other end. On January 7, six police officers from the Pinghu District Public Security Bureau rushed into Ms. Zhang's place, searched her home, confiscated her Dafa books and truth-clarification flyers, and arrested her.

On February 18, Beijing forced labor officials called Ms. Zhang's home and asked if Ms. Zhang had either a personal history or a family history of psychosis. After 40 days of not knowing her whereabouts, the family learned that Ms. Zhang was detained at the Daixing County's Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp and had been sentenced to two years of forced labor. The officials informed the family that she had become mentally disordered.

Ms. Zhang was persecuted because agents from the 610 Office at the National Security Office in Zhuolu County were monitoring practitioner Yang Guilan's telephone.

Zhuolu County and Pinggu District 610 Office agents, as well as National Security officials, made a joint effort to persecute Ms. Zhang so that she suffered serious mental trauma. We are Dafa practitioners and do not have any enemies. We hope that the 610 Office agents, as well as those from the National Security Bureau, treasure their consciences and stop persecuting Falun Gong. They should be kind toward Dafa practitioners and treasure the blessings and peace that Dafa bestows from the heavens to everyone who believes that Falun Dafa is good. We hope that everyone will help to secure Ms. Zhang's release.
