Practitioner Hu Wei from Fudan University Is Arrested by Authorities of the Fushun Forced Labor Camp in Liaoning Province

(Clearwisdom.net) Hu Wei is a Falun Gong practitioner. He graduated from the Department of Material Chemistry at Fudan University in 1997. He worked at the phosphor factory of Yuelong Chemical Company in Shanghai. On September 2001, the company attempted to abduct him for a brainwashing session and as result, he was forced to leave home to avoid harassment and arrest. With no news of his situation, his parents and coworkers were very worried.

According to credible sources, on September 2002, the local police from Fushun City, Liaoning Province illegally arrested him while he was in Fushun. He protested with a hunger strike for a few days but was then sent to a labor camp in Fushun. His parents are very upset and worried about his safety.

Hu Wei is a very kind person, and highly esteemed by both teachers and students. He was a very responsible person, and the supervisor of a research project at the chemical company. The company watched him closely as they prepared to have him brainwashed. His research team had made some impressive discoveries just before he left the company, which subsequently claimed a 10,000 Yuan reward for his research. [A typical urban worker's pay in China is about 500 Yuan.)

After Hu Wei was forced to leave home, the company executives and Shanghai Police repeatedly harassed his parents for his whereabouts, claiming that they just wanted to contact him and not arrest him.

We hereby request any groups working to save practitioners and all international human rights associations to please help rescue Hu Wei. We ask all Fudan alumni, especially Hu Wei's classmates, to reach out and help him. We also hope anyone with further knowledge will come forward to provide more detailed information of his situation.
