The Truth about the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners by Lawless Officials of Jingjing County, Hebei Province
(Clearwisdom.Net) I. Local Police Stations On the anniversary of April 25, a dozen practitioners from Jingjing County went to Beijing to
validate Dafa. After that, every town in Jingjing County started to persecute Falun Dafa
practitioners, forcing them to write promises to give up practicing Falun Dafa. Practitioners who
refused to write promises were illegally detained. Among them, female and male practitioners from
Weishui County were detained in the same room and had to share one barrel as a toilet. The stench in
the room was overwhelming. Officials in Xiulin County detained practitioners in a dark, wet cellar,
and many practitioners developed diarrhea. Practitioners who were escorted back home after they
validated Dafa in Beijing or were found to have Falun Dafa materials hidden at home were arrested
and tortured in police stations. At the Weishui Police Station, Officer Ma Zhanyuan violently beat
Falun Dafa practitioner Wu Zhanming with a thick metal pipe one-inch in diameter. He also beat Wu
Zhanming with a chair until the chair collapsed. Practitioner Wu Zhanming was beaten so severely
that he bled internally for several days. Another policeman Wang Guoqiang maliciously hit female
practitioners' breasts with his fists and ferociously kicked practitioner Fan Qingjun's legs with
his leather boots. Officials in Weizhou County illegally confiscated Wei Ruilin's home and grabbed
two jars of wheat from his poverty-stricken dwelling for their personal consumption. II. Brainwashing Center On June 1, 2001, Jingjing County set up a brainwashing center at the Civilian Soldier Military
Base in Biao Village. The brainwashing center was created by the "610 Office" and the
police departments and officials from each town in Jingjing County. All of the practitioners
detained in each town were transferred to this central brainwashing center for further persecution.
The methods of coercion included physical torture, threatening, beating, separation, persecution of
practitioners' relatives, sleep deprivation, and deceit. Physical torture Practitioners were forced to get up at 5 a.m. to undergo military-type training, including
running laps. Then they were forced to sit on the sports grounds for the rest of the day. They were
not allowed to move and remained under the surveillance of guards until 11 p.m. Many practitioners'
hips were injured. Threatening and Beating Officials in the brainwashing center first forced practitioners to listen to them slander Dafa
and then watch a video with fabricated stories. Practitioners didn't cooperate with these demands.
Officer Lu Zhiqiang seized a walking stick from handicapped practitioner Gao Baoyuan and ruthlessly
beat him to the floor. He also hit other practitioners with this walking stick. Second, they forced
practitioners to sign their names to a paper slandering Falun Dafa. Practitioner Fan Qingjun refused
to sign. Guard Jia Huimin immediately dragged him out of the room and severely beat him with a
thick, wooden stick until the stick was broken. After torturing Fan Qingjun, he forced 65-year-old
female practitioner Li Guiqing to stand for such a long time that she collapsed, losing control of
her bladder and bowels. Once guard Liu Pingjun slapped practitioner Li Guiqing's face just because the guard thought Li
finished his dish a little too slowly. When another practitioner tried to stop him, he turned around
and beat that practitioner. In another occasion, policeman Yu Chongwang slapped the faces of some
practitioners who once gave in under the high pressure of persecution to the authorities against
their wills and later declared to resume their practice of Falun Gong. Practitioner Luan Shunsheng's
tooth was knocked out. Intimidation, Isolation, and Implication The Jingjing Police Department sent fourteen Dafa practitioners from the brainwashing center to
Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp. Police in the brainwashing center often warned other practitioners,
"Your transformation is obligatory. If you don't give up, you won't be able to leave this
center. Don't accumulate evidence for your forced labor camp education." If practitioners
refused to give up practicing Falun Gong, they were forced to pay a heavy fine and were sent to the
Law Education Center of Hebei Province for further persecution. Sleep Deprivation Since November 2001, guards have deprived Falun Dafa practitioners of their right to sleep.
Collaborators [former Falun Gong practitioners who have gone astray due to brainwashing and
torture] Liu Lihui, Deng Guoyun, Gao Genrong, and Wei Ruilin helped to torture Falun Dafa
practitioners physically and mentally. Deceit At the end of 2001, a police station promised those who, against their wills, gave up practicing
Dafa that they would be released because of the county's financial shortage. Some of them, however,
continued to be detained. Policemen convinced three collaborators in the forced labor camp that they
would be released after some paper work was completed. But after the collaborators actively helped
the police, the Jingjing County Police Department sent them back to the forced labor camp with the
excuse that the paper work wasn't finished yet. III. Falun Dafa Practitioners' Righteous Thoughts In order to resist the persecution, practitioners Xu Genchun and Ren Yanzhen began a hunger
strike on Chinese New Year's Day 2002. Two weeks later, their lives were severely threatened, so the
"610 Office" decided to temporarily release them in the condition that the officials in
town and/or village sponsored their release and made sure that they gave up practicing Falun Gong.
Police said that they would be subjected to further persecution if they still refused to give up
their practice after they recovered. Practitioner Fan Qingjun broke away from the prison under the
strengthening of righteous thoughts and Teacher on March 24, 2002. Here we warn those villains who persecuted Falun Dafa and practitioners: Don't help a tyrant to
do evil for a tiny amount of personal gain. The principle of heaven is "Good is rewarded with
good and evil meets evil."
