(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Wu Zhifang is a Falun Gong practitioner from Qianxi county, Hebei province. The police arrested her at home on July 6, 2011. She was then illegally sentenced to one year of forced labor on July 15 and taken to the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Tangshan city without her family knowing.
Personnel from the National Security Team, officers from the Chenguang Police Station and officials from the fifth village in Qianxi county broke into Ms. Wu's home in the fifth village of Xingcheng town at around 9:00 a.m. on July 6. After forcing their way inside, they quickly showed a piece of paper and claimed that it was a warrant. At that time, only Ms. Wu's parents and young daughter were at home.
Ms. Wu's mother, 70s, asked them what they wanted. One of them replied, “Someone reported your daughter.” They then started ransacking the home and gathered all of the Falun Gong books and truth-clarification materials on the coffee table. Ms. Wu's mother said, “You are violating the law. I will not let you to take the books away!” She firmly held onto several books. They ignored her and continued with their ransacking. Ms. Wu's 12-year-old daughter was so frightened that she constantly cried.
When Ms. Wu returned home and saw the mess, she asked, “Why are you treating an elderly person who is over seventy years old like this?” She tried to save all the items they found, but they took them back. Three people then forcibly dragged her to the police car outside.
Ms. Wu was taken to the Qianxi County Detention Center and held for 15 days. A portrait of Teacher, several Dafa books and other personal belongings were confiscated. After this incident, Ms. Wu's father suffered a stroke and his condition has still not improved. Several days after Ms. Wu's arrest, he could not say one word, but only cried.
On July 15, Ms. Wu was sentenced to one year of forced labor and taken to the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Tangshan city.
Ms. Wu, 40s, started practicing Falun Gong in 1999 before the persecution began on July 20. Towards the end of 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong. She was sent back by the National Security Team of Qianxi County, but was not detained because she was still breastfeeding at the time.
