(Clearwisdom.net) Since the World Expo, under the direction of the 610 Office, some departments in Chicheng County, Hebei Province, worked with higher level departments to persecute and harass Falun Gong practitioners.
The Chinese Communist Party aims at making practitioners quit cultivation by means of enticing them, lying to them, threatening them, etc.
In the middle of September 2010, Li Shuxin, the leader of Baicao County; deputy leader Yan; and four or five others went to the home of Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Wu Yuelan and her daughter, Ms. Guo Zhongli. Li and Yan threatened them, telling them they had write a statement pledging to quit Falun Gong or else they would be taken to a brainwashing center. They harassed the women twice. They also went to the home of practitioner Wu Lifeng, who was working in Xuanhua, and the home of Xiao Hongzi, who was living in Beijing.
Zhao Wanmin, the secretary of Shuimeyao County in Yangtian Village, went to practitioner Mr. Cui Chengxiang's house and told him to write a pledge to quit statement.
In the beginning of August, a female leader from Chicheng County, under orders from deputy leader Cui Jiyuan, went to practitioner Ms. Wang Yanai's department and questioned her about whether she would go to the brainwashing center. At the end of August, Liu Dazhi and three others went to her department again and told her they would set up a brainwashing center locally for a week if she didn't write the pledge to quit statement. They also that they would put her in Zhangjiakou for a month. They said they would come the following Monday to pick her up. At the end of September, Wang Lianrong from the county hotel went to Guo Yu'e's house, ordered her to write a pledge to quit statement, and asked her if she would go to Beijing.
In June, Liu Dazhi from the County Police Station called Li Guimei and Zhu Hailian's family, telling them they would set up a brainwashing center for Li and Zhu. On July 30, 2010 Zhang Qiyuan, Liu Dazhi, and one more person went to the homes of Li and Zhu to try to force them to renounce Falun Gong in writing. If they didn't cooperate, they were told they would be sent to a brainwashing center during the day.
On September 24, 2010, the 610 Office found practitioner Ms. Guan Jie's son, who works in a police station, and ordered him to make his mother write a "pledge to quit statement." If he didn't, it would affect his job and his children's schooling. The next day Liu Guifu and Cao Jixin from Ms. Guan Jie's workplace found her son and ordered him again to do the same thing. They also assigned him to persuade practitioner Li Xiumei.
At nine-thirty on September 3, 2010, Zhao Huaiping, the secretary of Nanda Village; Liu Dazhi; and one more person harassed practitioner Ye Guie and ransacked Ye Guie's house.
At eight in the evening on October 14, 2010, Zhang Yongxin, the leader of the Domestic Security Division, followed by two police cars with seven to eight officers, ransacked the home of Ms. Sun Fuqin, saying that it was a gambling den. They ransacked the house and arrested several people. Ms. Sun Fuqin ran away, so they arrested her husband and son and practitioners Wang Weihua, Li Lianshu, and Wang Chunmei, who were visiting Ms. Sun. They confiscated a computer, printer, cell phone, and other personal belongings.
Afterwards, they ransacked Wang Weihua and Li Lianshu's house. Female police officer Zhang Yan was very aggressive and malicious during this time. Ms. Sun's husband and son were released the next day. Wang Weihua was released at noon on the same day. Wang Chunmei was released in the afternoon. But they sentenced Ms. Li Lianshu, and sent her to Zhangjiakou Detention Center at 4 p.m. on the 16th. Zhang Yongxin lied to her, saying that if she admitted she was the one who typed the files for the Fa conference, they would let her go. But after she admitted that she had, they sentenced her instead.
