(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Ding Hongfang from Laixi City, Shandong Province was followed and arrested by the police as she made phone calls to people to clarify the facts about Falun Gong. Her home was ransacked. The police tried to hold her in a detention center, but the officials there refused to accept her because a physical examination disqualified her. The police then issued a false certificate to prove that Ms. Ding was in good health, and she was eventually held in the detention center. Ms. Ding has been illegally sentenced to three years in prison.
Around noon on October 20, 2010, six police officers from the Laixi City Police Department deceived Ms. Ding's son into opening the door for them by claiming they were checking residency permits. The perpetrators then barged into Ms. Ding’s home and arrested her. The police also ransacked her home and confiscated many personal belongings.
Police officer Li Weikui and other officers forced Ms. Ding to have a medical examination on October 21 at Laixi City No. 2 People’s Hospital, and then transferred her to the Dashan Detention Center in Qingdao City. After reviewing the medical report however, the detention center doctor refused to accept Ms. Ding due to her poor health, a result of the persecution. Li Weikui then immediately falsified a certificate from Haici Hospital in Qingdao City, which showed that Ms. Ding was in good health. He tried to send her to the detention center again. However, the doctor had the original report and still refused to accept Ms. Ding. Li Weikui had to hold Ms. Ding at the Xiagezhuang Police Station in Laixi City for the night.
The following day, Li Weikui went to the No. 2 People’s Hospital and, using his personal connections, had another fake certificate made. He then sent Ms. Ding to the Dashan Detention Center for the third time. The doctor discerned that this report was falsified, asked Li to sign the paper, and then accepted Ms. Ding.
Ms. Ding has been detained for eight months, since October 2010. The Laixi City Court put her on trial twice, without notifying her family. Ms. Ding was eventually given a three-year prison term. She appealed and is still currently held in the Dashan Detention Center.
Ms. Ding's husband went to every related department trying to rescue his wife. Police Officer Shen Tao threatened him, and even attempted to cause marital problems between the couple.
