May 24, 2009

(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Wang Xingming, from Mengyin County, Shandong Province, is in his sixties and is physically disabled. He was illegally sent to a forced labor camp. After his release in February 2009, Mr. Wang was arrested again on March 17 and his house ransacked. His whereabouts are unknown. Police from the Mengyin National Security and Xintai City Public Security were involved in the arrest.

Mr. Wang has had a physical disability since childhood and has had difficulty walking. He practices Chinese medicine to make a living. He always treats other with sincerity and kindness and people praise him highly. A few years ago, Mr. Wang went to Xuzhuang Village, Wennan Town, Xintai City and lived with a Mr. Liu and practiced medicine there. In 2006, he began practicing Dafa after reading truth-clarifying materials about Falun Dafa. After he began practicing, his health improved and he could walk a long distance without having to use a cane.

On the evening of February 28, 2008, police from Wennan Town surrounded his residence and went into his quarters to conduct an illegal search. They took his Dafa books, a satellite dish, and a TV. They arrested him and detained him in Taian City, and attempted to extort a confession by torturing him. Afterward, he was imprisoned in the Second Forced Labor Camp in Shandong Province for one year. While imprisoned in the labor camp, Mr. Wang was exposed to physical and mental torture, but he persisted in his belief in Falun Dafa and Truth-Compassion-Forbearance.

In March 2009, Mr. Wang was released from the forced labor camp and returned to Xinzhuang to continue practicing medicine. He was arrested again on March 17. His whereabouts are unknown.

On March 18, 2009, police from the Changlu County Police Station arrested Dafa practitioner Yang Chuanbao from Changlu Township in Mengyin County. They also ransacked his home and took away his tractor. Later, the police extorted one thousand yuan from him in order for him to get the tractor back. Mr. Yang was released after being detained for 15 days. On April 15, he was arrested again and sent to the Second Forced Labor Camp in Shandong Province and imprisoned for one year. Mr. Yang' wife has arthritis and cannot work, so there is no one to work their field.
