Four Cases of Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Songling District, Daxingan Ridge Area, Heilongjiang Province

(Clearwisdom.Net)

1. Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Haikang, a forty-eight-year-old male, was illegally arrested by the police. In the public order section of the Songling District Police Department, Section Deputy Zhang Weidong and Police Officer Wu Yawen, along with several others, extorted a confession from Liu Haikang by torturing him for several days. His health was so severely compromised that when he was later sent to the custodial center, the head of the center dared not let other practitioners or prisoners see him, and in the meantime, the head blocked the news from spreading. Because Liu Haikang refused to cooperate with the evil forces at the custodial center, the officials restrained him with shackles while they tortured him mercilessly. After being severely beaten on several different occasions, he was almost immobile as a result of the serious physical and mental abuses. But the savagery of the abusers could never shake this Falun Dafa practitioner's righteous belief and firm faith. Liu Haikang neither cooperated nor compromised with the evil forces, calling out, "Falun Dafa is good," "Falun Dafa will surely rectify everything." Meanwhile, he compassionately warned the wicked people, "Whoever persecutes Falun Dafa will be subject to retribution."

2. Female Falun Dafa practitioner Sun Chunhuan, forty years old, was illegally abducted by the police from her home and illegally detained for an extended period of time. Wu Yawen, an officer from the public order section, along with several others, beat and tortured her cruelly, often using electric batons, while she was detained. At the custody center, Sun Chunhuan firmly upheld Falun Dafa, refusing to yield to the persecution by the evil forces, so the police in charge locked her in shackles. Encouraged by their boss, they then hatched a plan to sentence her to a long term in jail. They opened a "court session" on April 15, during which Sun Chunhuan refused to cooperate with the evil forces and objected to the framed charge. When the so-called "witness," Xu Yawen, was called to testify against Sun Chunhuan, she stated for the court record that she had been forced to frame Sun Chunhuan when she was out of her right mind after being illegally tortured by the police for six days and nights. At that point the unscrupulous judge called a recess in court, later claiming that Sun was guilty anyway. On that same day the police arrested Xu Yawen because she had refused to give her false testimony. What has happened to her is unknown.

3. Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Xiulan, a sixty-six-year-old female, was illegally arrested at home for no reason and detained for one month. Because the police needed to meet an arrest quota, they detained her again two days before Spring Festival. Now the perpetrators are planning to sentence her to a four-year jail term.

4. Female Falun Dafa practitioner Fu Yanhua, age forty-seven, lives in Zhuangzhi Wood Yard in Songlin District. On December 29, 2001, while she was posting truth-telling materials, she was arrested and sent to the second police station in Songlin Town, where Station Chief Geng Jun humiliated her during her interrogation. With compassion, Fu told the police that enforcing the law as they did was really violating the law. Geng Jun's shame so enraged him that he lifted Fu up and threw her to the floor. Fu's head struck the arm of a sofa and her forehead swelled severely. After Geng Jun savagely punched and kicked her, another cop beat her in another room. After this torture, Geng Jun tried to force Fu to sign her name and make her put her fingerprint on a document renouncing Falun Dafa that they had prepared in advance. Because Fu refused to do so, Geng Jun called others to press Fu to the ground. As one policewoman held Fu's hair, others beat her and grabbed her hand to make the fingerprint by force. Still in a frenzy, they went on beating her until she fell to her knees and could no longer stand up. Fu's distorted face was swollen and bruised, and a handful of her hair had been yanked out.

The injuries to Fu's head were so severe that she suffered a cerebral concussion in the custodial center. She began to throw up and couldn't eat anything for days, during which she had great difficulty moving around. Wang, the director of the custodial center, threatened Fu not to tell anyone about the torture she suffered, and the police even forced her to do labor at that time. The symptoms of Fu's concussion worsened. She kept throwing up and losing consciousness and finally was unable to take care of herself any more. Her oppressors were afraid that she would die in their custody, so they released her three days later.

When Fu was first sent to the custody center, the police confiscated her cash and then refused to return it upon her release. Although she didn't eat anything, they charged her a 100 Yuan "food fee" and forced her relatives to pay a "bail" of 5,000 Yuan (the average monthly income in urban China is about 400 Yuan). After being released, as a result of her physical and mental injuries, Fu's health continued to decline, leaving her unable to care for herself.
