(Clearwisdom.net) Around 10:00 p.m. on September 24, 2011, five practitioners, including former police officer Mr. Chen Zhongxuan, Ms. He Yuhu, Ms. Han Xiufang, Ms. Feng Caihong, and Mr. Jin Yaowu, were arrested while they were driving through Zhongchuan Town, Huining County, Gansu Province. The police illegally searched their homes the next day, tortured them using the tiger bench, and brutally beat Mr. Jin and Ms. He in the criminal investigation brigade at the Huining Police Department.
It was reported that Mr. Chen escaped, and the other practitioners were taken to the Baiyin Detention Center on September 26, 2011. Since Mr. Chen is a former police officer, the Gansu Province Police Bureau got involved and listed him on a nationwide wanted list.
Mr. Chen, 50, was an officer of the Huining County Police Department, and received an “outstanding performance” award. He started to practice Falun Gong while he was training at the Gansu Province Police Academy in June 1999. Although officials from the provincial government and county police department repeatedly tried to talk him into giving up his practice of Falun Gong, Mr. Chen stuck to his belief. More than a dozen of his family members practice Falun Dafa, and all of them were harassed during the more than ten-year persecution.
Mr. Chen was under surveillance year round, and his calls were monitored. His younger sisters, Ms. Chen Shuxian and Ms. Chen Jie were subjected to forced labor, prison sentences, and torture. His elder sister, Ms. Chen Shumei and brother-in-law, Mr. Liu Haixue, were forced to leave home. His two elder brothers were harassed and their homes ransacked for practicing Falun Gong. They passed away in 2008.
After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Mr. Chen Zhongxuan went to a Gansu provincial government office to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. He was detained for two days and then for another 15 days. After that he was taken to the Huishi Town Brainwashing Center in Huining County, organized by the county's Political and Judiciary Committee and police department. He was detained for another 15 days and then dismissed by officials from the police department. During this time, officers from the Political and Judicial committee and police department repeatedly threatened and berated him.
Mr. Chen went to work at a township government office in May 2000. He was frequently threatened and verbally abused there by Wen Dehui, the deputy party secretary of Huining County, the party secretary of the county's Political and Judiciary Committee, and Wang Qingguo, party secretary of the township. During this time he was constantly monitored, including his telephone calls.
