(Clearwisdom.net) Sixty-five-year-old Ms. Xu Guifang from Tongchuan City, Shaanxi Province was arrested on the morning of February 3, 2012 as she spoke with people about Falun Gong at a square near her home. Officers from the Chengguan Town Police Station made the arrest and ransacked her home. Ms. Xu is currently being held in the Yao County Detention Center.
Ms. Xu Guifang is a law-abiding and kind lady. For remaining steadfast in her belief, she has been persecuted numerous times by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents. She was once subjected to one and a half years of forced labor, and another time, to three years in prison. Since Ms. Xu was released, Tongchuan police and 610 Office agents have harassed her many times. She had to live away from home to avoid persecution. Ms. Xu’s oldest daughter, Liu Chunxia, is also a practitioner, and the physical abuse and torture she was subjected to in the Shaanxi Province Women’s Forced Labor Camp and Tongchuan 610 Office caused her to suffer a mental collapse.
Ms. Xu started practicing Falun Dafa in March, 1999. Before practicing, she suffered from many illnesses, such as stomach problems, nephritis, sciatica, low blood pressure, and anemia. As she practiced Falun Dafa, she gradually recovered, and became happy and energetic.
After the CCP launched the persecution on July 20, 1999, officers from the Yintai Police Station led by Wang Lujun broke into Ms. Xu’s home on December 25, 2000. They searched everywhere and took Ms. Xu to the police station, detaining her there for a day.
On June 12, 2002, twelve police officers ransacked Ms. Xu’s home and arrested her. Because her daughter was reported as she posted information about Falun Gong, the police went to her home and also arrested Ms. Xu along the way. She was released in early August 2002. She went everywhere looking for her daughter, but no government officers would give her any information about her daughter’s whereabouts. Ms. Xu went to Xi’an to appeal, but the Tongchuan police and 610 Office agents brought her back. In retaliation for exposing their evil deeds, they subjected her to one and a half years of forced labor. Ms. Xu’s daughter was also subjected to forced labor for two and a half years.
While being detained, Ms. Xu’s daughter was physically abused every day. In order to add to the mental pressure, the guards kept threatening her. As a result, she was soon in a confused state of mind, and the condition became worse and worse. The camp officials finally released her. After she gradually recovered, Wangyi Police Station officers and 610 Office agents began to constantly harass her at home. When Ms. Xu’s daughter clarified the facts to them, they sent her directly to a mental hospital. While she was detained there, they injected her with poisonous drugs. As a result of being injected with these substances, her daughter became mentally unbalanced. Her condition worsened daily; she became emaciated, and talked irrationally. It has been confirmed through various sources that the one who injected her with poisonous drugs was Zheng Jingli.
Torture Re-enactment: Toxic injections
In 2006, officers from the Tongchuan Police Station revisited Ms. Xu’s home and ransacked it. They fabricated evidence and trumped up charges against her. Ms. Xu was given three years of imprisonment, where she was subjected to severe physical abuse and torture. She was finally released; however, local police and 610 Office agents came to her home in an attempt to persecute her further, so she had to live away from home.
In the second half of 2011, Ms. Xu returned home to take care of her husband, in his 70s, who suffered from an unexpected condition. Tongchuan police learned that she had returned and arrested her.
