(Clearwisdom.net) At about 8:15 p.m. on April, 24, 2007, when Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Yang Qiong, Ms. Wang Shoujin, and another female fellow practitioner were taking a walk, they were cut off by Chen Chao, the deputy director of Comprehensive Administration Office, Fangting Neighborhood Committee, and another man, and were asked why they were walking together and how many truth clarification flyers they had posted. Chen Chao shouted to bystanders, "These are Falun Gong followers. Help me get them!" He used his cellphone to call the police, but the practitioners were able to break loose and ran away.
Later, Ms. Yang Qiong and Ms. Wang Shoujin were taken away by the Police Patrol Squad to be photographed. Neither of them cooperated, however, and each of them had to be held down by two officers to be photographed. The Police Patrol Squad said that Falun Gong was out of their jurisdiction, so the practitioners were subsequently transferred to the National Security Group of the Shifang City Police Department.
At the National Security Group, they were searched. Ms. Yang's cellphone, phone book, one book of Teacher's new articles, and an MP3 player were confiscated. They were asked what Dafa activities they took part in and with whom. They refused to answer any questions, so they were isolated in two separate rooms and interrogated. Police Li Yong was in charge of the interrogation of Ms. Wang. He asked many questions, but she refused to respond. Li Yong flew into a rage and punched her in the face. Wang Shoujin sent forth the thought: "Stop the evil. Return the torture to the persecutor." Immediately, Li Yong felt a pain in his hand and a black-and-blue mark appeared. He knew he had received karmic retribution, but he pretended to be calm and walked away.
A short man (a political instructor) interrogated Ms. Yang Qiang. He got out a book with Master Li's name on it and told her to read it, but she refused becfause it was not a real Dafa book but a fabricated one to deceive people. So he hit her head with the book. During the interrogation process, both Yang Qiang and Wang Shoujin were forced to stand for a long time, until early in the morning on April 25, 2007. Finally, they were released because the police could not get the information they wanted from the two practitioners.
On the morning of April 25, Ms. Wang went to the city's prosecutor, who had been her husband's employer before he passed away, to seek legal advice on how to sue the police. But when the receptionist learned that she was a Falun Gong practitioner, she said that all of the leaders were out for meetings and asked her to come back later. Only when Wang Shoujin said that she was the wife of a deceased employee of the prosecutor and wanted to talk to the supervisors did the receptionist call a director surnamed Liu, who said on the phone, "Yesterday, I was in the next room when she was interrogated. Ask her to see me tomorrow."
On April 26, 2007, Wang Shoujin said to Director Liu, "My husband used to work for you. As his surviving family member, I request some legal assistance from you." But the director said, "We took care of your child when your husband passed away and urged you not to practice Falun Gong, but you never listened to us. We lost the title of 'Advanced Institution,' which we kept for many years just because of you. You'd better get a boyfriend or buy a new apartment and move out." Ms. Wang said, "My character improved and I became healthy, which all of you witnessed. Why should I give it up?" However, the director still refused to provide any legal assistance.
On April 27, 2007, Ms. Wang went to the Municipal Justice Bureau to consult with an attorney who said to her, "You'd better cooperate with the police department's investigation. Because practicing Falun Gong is not allowed by the government, we cannot take your case."
