(Clearwisdom.net)
In various townships of Shuangcheng City, many Falun Dafa practitioners have
been victims of illegal searches, ransacking of personal property, extortion,
confiscations, beatings, tortures and illegal detention. The following are just
a few such cases.
Youhao Village, Lequn Township
Practitioner Fu Chunlong was frequently harassed by Party Secretary Zhang
Guorong for not giving up cultivation of Zhen-Shan-Ren
(Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance). He has been subjected to many extortions
from July 1999 to the present. He was arrested for practicing Falun Gong at Zhao

for possessing Zhuan Falun, and was illegally fined 1,000 Yuan.
Yin Yumei was frequently harassed by Party Secretary Zhang Guorong and
Vice-Secretary Wang Guolan (now transferred away) for not giving up cultivation
of Zhen-Shan-Ren. They used various means to create difficulties for her
as well as pressuring her to write "guarantee letters" [promising
not to practice Falun Gong]. She and her husband had been expelled from
their work units because of their daughter being "non-cooperative" and
going to Beijing, yet Yin Yumei still had to "report" daily to the
school where she worked without being paid. During the Chinese New Year, January

on cold tables and chairs and were abused and insulted by civilian
"guards" at will.

to work and lost their salary.

cassette from Hong, and extorted a 1,000-Yuan "fine."
Guo Yan was illegally detained by Shuangcheng City Detention Centre in 1999,

List of the Persecutors who follow Jiang Zemin in persecuting Dafa
practitioners:
- Lequn County Party Secretary Zhang Guorong
- Vice Party Secretary Wang Guolan
Two steadfast Dafa practitioners, Ma Xinying and Zhang Yafen, were detained
in Shuangcheng Detention Centre for appealing in Beijing. After their release,
they were further detained in a retirement home for 2 months for fear that they
might appeal again. They were subjected to insults by thugs with filthy and
crude language. Wang Guolan slapped both of them on the face numerous times, due
to their not giving up Falun Dafa, and extorted 4,000 Yuan from Zhang's family
before letting her go.
Criminals Zhang Guorong and Wang Guolan exhausted all their wits in
persecuting Dafa practitioners. Zhao Yayun firmly believed in Dafa, so Zhang
Guorong charged her with "practicing Falun Gong at home" and sent her
to a forced labour camp. Zhang is responsible for her death, as the brutal
persecution in the labour camp took her life.
Yaojin Township
On December 20, 2000, He Guiping was captured in Changchun on the way to
Beijing to appeal. He was first sent to the 2nd Detention Centre in

On January 17, 2001, Ma Chengbao and 3 others were detained in a dark little
room in the village by Yaojin County policeman Ma Dali, County Party Secretary
Zhang Junbao, and Village Chief Liu Changlong supposedly to "talk" to
them. This action left a 7 years old child at home alone.
Wang Yuling went to Beijing to appeal on December 16, 2000, and was tortured
by Beijing Fangshan Branch Police on the "Tiger Bench" for 24 hours. (For
a detailed description of this and other forms of torture used in forced labor
camps, see http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2001/11/24/16156.html)

family, but the family did not cooperate.
Bai Shuhua was captured on December 23, 2000 while validating Dafa on

Xu Dezhen went to the "National Letters and Appeals Office" in
Beijing to appeal last year, and was sent straight to detention by the
Provincial Office in Beijing. Xu was later transferred to Shuangcheng City
Detention Centre and locked up for over 20 days, where she underwent all sorts
of trauma and torments. On December 10, 2000, Xu's husband Yan Wenbao went to
Beijing to validate Dafa, and was captured near Tiananmen. Police extracted his
name and address from him, and he was sent to Shuangcheng Detention Centre.

the centre. After being released, the couple had to endure constant harassment
at their own home from county and village officials and policemen. They've been
extorted 3,800 Yuan in total already, and the village authorities wrote down a
1,000 Yuan debt in their record.
Xu Chunlin and Guo Longquan had no money to pay for the "trip
expenses" (this is the money for being taken back home by the police), so
the Village Party Branch Secretary sold their land and property in March 2000,
taking away their livelihood. (Xu's land was sold for 3 years) Xu's family of
four is now homeless, and without any source of income.
Xu Qiulin was caught distributing Dafa material in the spring of 2000, and
sent for detention in Changlinzi Labour Camp, Harbin City until now, leaving a
spouse at home in hardship and loneliness.
The stories of Xu Shurong and her sisters:
The Elder sister
After being detained 22 days in Shuangcheng Detention Centre for appealing in
Beijing, she was locked up in a local retirement home, and had 5,000 Yuan
"trip expenses" extorted from her. (The family did not have enough
money, so her husband was thrown into the County's local office by the thugs and
detained for 2 days. They had to mortgage their home in exchange for his
release.) On December 23, 2000, she was taken into the retirement home again for
over 2 months. Due to her refusal to write a "guarantee" letter, she
was locked up in the Shuangcheng Party School for brainwashing. (only being
released when her family member gave their signature.)
Second elder sister
On December 23, 2000 she was taken to the local retirement home, and detained
for over 2 months. (Her family had to pay 500 Yuan bail for her release.)
Third elder sister
She was detained for 15 days for appealing in Beijing. Local government
extorted 3,000 Yuan "trip expenses" (for police to take her back from
Beijing) from her. During the Chinese New Year Period in 2001, she was locked up
by the Village Committee for 18 days, and only released when her family paid
1,000 Yuan bail.
Fourth elder sister
She was detained for over 40 days for her first time appeal in Beijing.
Though released through her hunger strike effort, she was locked up in a
retirement home for over 20 days afterwards. She was detained for more than 2
weeks for her second time appeal in Beijing, and sent to forced labour camp for
one year (currently in Wanjia Labour Camp, Harbin City). As she refuses to write
a "repentance" letter, her family is not allowed to visit.
Xu Shurong went to Beijing to appeal in June 2000, together with her 4 year
old child. Afterwards she was locked up in a cold and damp room in the local
retirement home and only released because of her hunger strike.
Shuiquan Township Criminal Records:
On December 22, 2000 (lunar calendar), these two criminals shuffled many Dafa
practitioners into police vehicles to take them to be brainwashed in the local
retirement home. After being locked up for over 2 months, each person was forced
to pay 600 Yuan just for meals, and another 1,000 Yuan "trip expenses"
for having gone to Beijing. The Local government wanted 1,000 Yuan bail each,
and forced each practitioner's family to bring the title paper
("deed") for their house and land as a "guarantee." Not only
couldn't they study Dafa and do the exercises, but even the practitioners'
personal freedoms were lost during the brainwashing class. They were also being
abused and insulted by the guards at will.
Tuanjie Township
Practitioners Zou Guoyan, Yu Kun, and Xu Shujuan went to Beijing to appeal on
January 6, 2000 (lunar calendar), and were illegally detained in the Shuangcheng

wounds; Yu's teeth are still loose even now, and he is unable to chew anything
hard. Yu was also extorted of a 700 Yuan "fine." Xu Shujuan and Zou

child at alone. Xu was illegally sentenced to one year of forced labour.
