Professors Wang Haibo and His Wife from Sichuan University Are Kidnapped and Tortured
(Clearwisdom.net May 11)
Wang Haibo, male, 40 years old, was a professor in the Mathematics Department
at Sichuan University.
Fang Hui, female, 40 years old, was a professor in the Foreign Language
Department at Sichuan University
Wang Haibo and Fang Hui are married and both are Falun Gong practitioners.
Before the opening of the 16th Congress Representative Meeting, the
Wuhou Police Sub-station illegally arrested them, leaving their eleven-year-old
son at home. The police officers also searched their house. Afterwards, several
police officers, including Zhu Gui and He Bin, covered Wang's and Fang's heads
with bags, taped their mouths shut, handcuffed their feet and hands and then
brutally beat them. The police didn't allow them to sleep for four days. They
also shined an intensely bright light in their eyes, causing their eyes to swell
and remain swollen for a long time. Currently, they are detained in Chengdu
Detention Center in Anjing Town in Pi County, Sichuan Province.
Li Ruzhen, female, 56, lives on Shuanglin Street in City of Chengdu, Sichuan
Province.
On April 25, 2003, eight police officers broke in and searched her home. They
confiscated some Dafa books and truth-clarifying materials. They also emptied
Li's saving account of 10,000 Yuan* and removed 4,900 Yuan in cash. The Chengdu
"610 Office"** established a branch office on Huangwa Street to
persecute Falun Gong practitioners. The arrest of Li was orchestrated by Hu Lin
from this office and Chen Gang from the Huangwa Police Station. Currently Li is
detained in the Pi County Detention Center. She has no change of clothes, and
the police have refused to accept clothing from her family members using the
excuse of SARS.
Dozens of Falun Gong practitioners from the Chengdu Steel Pipes Factory were
arrested when they gathered to celebrate Teacher's birthday. About 200 people
were around during the arrest and the practitioners shouted, "Falun Dafa is
good". Recently, Zhang Kunxiu, Xiao Subi, Li Zhijie and an additional four
practitioners were sentenced to three years in prison. Practitioners were not
allowed to have their own attorneys. However, the practitioners remained
fearless and dignified in the court; they refuted the charges against them and
left the unlawful officials speechless. The attorney assigned by the court was
moved to tears.
Xiao Dequn, female, is 69 years old. Reported by a former practitioner who
turned against Dafa under pressure, the State Security Police arrested her on a
public bus. They interrogated her for six days. She is now detained in a
detention center.
Li Ming, male, is 30 years old. The Sichuan University's 610 office security
guards arrested him on November 18, 2002 while he was clarifying the truth of
the persecution to college students. He is still being detained in a detention
center.
*Yuan is the Chinese currency. The average monthly salary of an urban worker
in China is 500 Yuan.
**The 610 Office is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong,
with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other
political or judicial systems.
