Artist Wang Dexian Arrested Again by Policemen of Laishui Town, Hebei Province

Oct. 9, 2007

(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of September 8, 2007, Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Dexian from Longmen Village in Laishui Town, Hebei Province was arrested when he clarified the truth. He was then detained in Laishui Detention Center. The policeman threatened that they would send him to a forced labor camp. Around three o'clock in the afternoon on July 24, 2007, Deputy Director of Longmen Village Police Station Zhang Tao, Zhang Jianlong, and Zhang Aijun broke into Mr. Wang's home and searched it. Mr. Wang escaped with righteous thoughts.

Mr. Wang Dexian, 53 years old, is a teacher at Linqingsi Middle School, Hebei Laishui Town. He is an excellent artist. His works of sculpture are known for their vividness and detail, and his calligraphy is also quite unique. He often volunteered to decorate people's windows or doors. The local people respected and liked him very much. He is not only a good artist, but also a good musician. He plays string and wind instruments very well, and he can make traditional instruments by hand. For his work in the middle school, he takes on twice the workload and teaches different courses. He treats his students very well. His students consider him a great teacher and a friend.

In 2005, Mr. Wang was sentenced to forced labor camp by the Laishui Town 610 Office agents. He was tortured at Baoding Forced Labor Camp until he could not take care of himself. In November 2003, Li Dayong, the director of the Baoding camp, tortured Mr. Wang for seven days. He bound Mr. Wang on a freezing cold bed. The confinement room was extremely cold, and Mr. Wang was not able to move, which resulted in the atrophy of his leg. He was then unable to walk normally. He developed osteo-proliferation and protruding lumbar vertebra. He was not treated in the Baoding Forced Labor Camp, which affected his ability to walk. Director Li Dayong did not allow him to get treatment and forced him to sleep on a cold floor. He forced Mr. Wang to stay in confinement and further assaulted him.

On May 10, 2004, Baoding Forced Labor Camp implemented a policy of forced "transformation" so that the guards could then severely persecute practitioners. The guards put about 20 male practitioners in a very dark place on the fourth floor. Each practitioners was put in a room so small that he was unable to move. The director of the guards, Liu Yuesheng, shocked the practitioners with electric batons to force them to give up their beliefs. The guards also used electric batons to shock practitioners' private parts. Those practitioners suffered tremendous agony. Mr. Wang was shocked on every part of his body. His screams of pain were heard on every floor in the building.

Mr. Wang's mother is already over 80 years old. She has had a stroke and cannot move one side of her body. School officials forced Mr. Wang's daughter to drop out of school. His younger daughter is a young child who needs constant care. Mr. Wang's wife must bear the burden of these responsibilities alone. They have endured terribly harsh times.

Before Mr. Wang was sentenced to forced labor, he spoke about "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance" and told people about Falun Dafa's goodness. The principal of Linqing Middle School Liu Tiecheng withheld 200 yuan from Mr. Wang's salary. After Mr. Wang was put in the labor camp, his salary was paid as an I.O.U. or not given at all. Mr. Wang was later laid off by Liu Tiecheng.

This state of affairs plus constant police surveillance greatly disturbed Mr. Wang's elder daughter. The huge mental pressure caused her to attempt suicide. Fortunately, her family found her in time and saved her.

At around 3:00 p.m. on July 24, 2007, Longmenxiang deputy policemen Zhang Tao, Zhang Jianlong, and Zhang Aijun broke into Mr. Wang's home. They searched it for around one and a half hours and took about 300-yuan worth of items. Zhang Tao ordered other policemen to handcuff Mr. Wang, but Mr. Wang escaped. Zhang Tao still tried to find him. He further threatened Mr. Wang's wife and daughters.
