Recently, Dafa practitioners Yan Mao, Cheng Ming and Zheng Guiqin, from Wanquan County, Hebei Province, were sentenced to forced labor after being illegally arrested by the local police.

While distributing truth-clarifying materials on the night of July 20, 2006, Dafa practitioners Yan Mao and Cheng Ming from Kongjiazhuang Town, Wanquan County, Hebei Province were arrested and taken to the Kongjiazhuang Police Station by local patrol officers. Dafa practitioner Zheng Guiqin, a resident of Kongjiazhuang, along with her son, were followed and arrested by undercover officers from the local police station while they were putting up signs to clarify the truth.

Officers from the Kongjiazhuang Police Station, along with officers from the National Security Group of the Police Department of Wanquan County, took the three practitioners to the Zhangjiakou Detention Center, where they were held as criminals. The three of them went on hunger strikes to protest the persecution. They all became very weak and semiconscious. Inmates cruelly beat Yan Mao and Cheng Ming.

Their family members tried various methods to bring them back home. However, they were all sentenced to forced labor, despite being in poor physical condition because of the hunger strike. Yan Mao and Cheng Ming were sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor and were sent to the Hehuakeng Labor Camp in Tangshan City, Hebei Province. Zheng Guiqin was sentenced to two years of forced labor and sent to the Gaoyang Labor Camp in Hebei Province.

Li Min, the newly appointed secretary of the County Party Committee of Wanquan County, holds direct responsibility for the persecution of these practitioners.

We call on Dafa practitioners in China and abroad to join efforts to rescue our fellow practitioners.
