(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioners Xi Zhaojun and Zhang Decai were clarifying the truth in Gaojiagou Village, Mandetang Township, Kangbao County on February 24, 2007. The village Party secretary, Feng Quan, saw them and threatened to call the police. The practitioners clarified the truth to him and warned him that persecuting practitioners would bring him karmic retribution. Feng Quan said, "I am not afraid of retribution."
Soon after the two practitioners left the village, a car pulled up to them. Two township police officers and Party secretary Feng Quan and the driver started punching Mr. Xi Zhaojun. They tied him up with a rope and savagely beat him for about 40 minutes.
After two hours, a vehicle from the Kangbao County Police Department arrived. Some police officers took the two practitioners to the police department. They handcuffed the practitioners, and one officer kicked practitioner Zhang Decai until he fell to the ground. The officers stripped both practitioners naked and brutally beat them. They then ordered them to get dressed and took them to the Kangbao County Detention Center where they ordered the inmates to beat them. Police department head Hao Yanfei screamed, "The police department is where beatings take place!"
Police officers Zhang Jianwu, Ren Daxiong and Dong broke into practitioner Zhang Decai's home on the morning of February 25. They confiscated all Dafa books, cassette players and other items. One week later, Zhang Decai was released after the police extorted over 5,000 yuan from him. Practitioner Xi Zhaojun was sent to a custody center where he went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. While there, the guards force-fed him salt water and forbade his family from visiting him. It has been two weeks since he was first taken there. The officials submitted some fabricated documents about Xi Zhaojun to the procuratorate and claimed they would sentence Xi Zhaojun to prison. Xi Zhaojun is now very weak and in critical condition.
Xi Zhaojun was a teacher at the No. 2 Buzi Township Middle School, but was fired after the persecution began on July 20, 1999, because he refused to renounce Falun Gong. He became homeless to avoid being illegally arrested, but officials constantly harassed his family. Their relentless persecution traumatized his parents. They also harassed his sister. His family has been persecuted mentally and financially.
Xi Zhaojun's parents learned that he was held at a detention center, so they went to the police department and knelt before the officers, begging to see their son. The police told them, "If you cooperate with us and say whatever we tell you to say while we videotape you, you can see your son."
His parents were so anxious to see Xi Zhaojun that they said untruthful things [against Dafa and Dafa practitioners] as the officials demanded. After achieving their goal, the officials went back on their promise and refused to let them see Xi Zhaojun.
