Dafa Practitioner Ms. Luo Biqiong from Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, Forced to Have an Abortion by Local Government
(Clearwisdom.net) Just because I wrote, "I want to practice Falun
Gong," I was subjected to a forced abortion that ended an innocent
four-month-old life. My name is Luo Biqiong. I am thirty-six years old, and I used to live in a
silk factory dormitory located at No. 52 Liuerqiao Street, Yingshan County,
Nanchong City, Sichuan Province. I was fortunate to learn about Falun Dafa in
April of 1999. I used to suffer from many illnesses such as hereditary
tracheitis, gastroenteritis, hemorrhoids, pharyngitis, rheumatic arthritis, and
gynecological problems. After practicing the Falun Gong exercises for just three
days, all my illnesses were gone, and my irritable temperament went away as
well. On July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin initiated the persecution of Falun Gong. On April 20, 2000, I went to Beijing to appeal to the government on behalf of
Falun Gong. As I arrived at Tiananmen Square, the police asked me whether I was
a Falun Gong practitioner. When I answered, "Yes," I was immediately
taken to a waiting police vehicle and detained in a police station located on
the right side of Tiananmen Square. After they found out where I was from, I was
taken to the local office of Nanchong City. The secretary of Nanchong City
government's Beijing office, Luo, and police officers took me to the Guangan
Rail Station and transferred me to the joint custody of Yingshan County Public
Security, Langchi County Police Station, my street office, and my residence
committee. I was brought to the Langchi Police Station in Yingshan County and
detained there for interrogation for one day. Later, they claimed I had been
"disturbing the social order" and detained me for fifteen days. Public
Security Chief Zhou Yuping approved the charge. From then on, I was monitored and harassed continuously. My family members
were also living in terror. It was impossible to live a normal life. I was under constant surveillance, my household items were confiscated, and I
was arrested, threatened, and insulted many times. There were always more than
eight people involved in these types of activities. One night about 10 p.m., in mid-June of 2000, a group of people broke into my
home. They searched my household, even turning over mattresses, and took away a
copy of Essentials for Further Advancement, a collection of articles
written by Teacher, and three exercise tapes. They arrested me for
"disturbing the social order" and detained me for fourteen days. While I was asleep at 11:30 p.m. on July 13, 2000, Li Zhaoxia and a person
with the last name of Deng, lead by Yang Qiang, arrested me without even
allowing me to change my clothes or put on shoes. This happened while my husband
was working at his night shift. Seeing me being arrested, my five-year-old child
was frightened and crying. My neighbor took my child to her home. My neighbors
knew I was a good, upstanding neighbor, and scolded my abductors for what they
were doing. The following day I was taken to a brainwashing class held in a small
conference room in the Langchi County government office. There were nine Dafa
practitioners and more than thirty government personnel surrounding us to
conduct the brainwashing. They tried to force us to write a "Guarantee
Statement" and a "Repentance Statement," and they wanted us to
pay 1,000 yuan (1) for travel expenses to Beijing and 500 yuan for a guarantee.
I refused to cooperate with them or give up my practice. They forced us to pay a
"class" fee of 30 yuan for the first day and 50 yuan for the second
day. Police guarded the door. Since they didn't get what they wanted, they again
used the excuse that I was "disturbing the social order" and again
imprisoned me for fifteen days. In mid-August of 2000, the Langchi County Police Station summoned me to
report to the Langchi government office. I didn't go. Four policemen, led by Li
Yunbo, arrested me and took me to a guarded room at the police station. I was
then taken to a brainwashing class held in the Langchi County Street Office
conference room. Surrounded by Li Renchang, Zhang Quanhui, Li Chaoxia, Hu Fayang,
Yan Yunbiao, Wu Xiaoqin, Wen, and Wen Lihua, and Chen Xiangshun, and others, I
was forced to listen to their slanderous remarks about Falun Dafa, as they tried
to force me to write the "Three Statements," to pay for their travel
expenses to Beijing, and to pay a "learning fee" of 30 yuan and 50
yuan for the first and second days. Hu Fayang said, "We as the local
government can set local policy as we see fit. We can do anything to you we
wish. What we say here is all that counts." After the twelfth day, they still hadn't gotten me to renounce Falun Dafa,
and I was sent back to the police station. They found people from the Residence
Committee to provide false statements against me. In order to sentence me, Deng
Yanlin told Ren Xizhen to write a false statement that he saw me doing the Falun
Dafa exercises outdoors. Unwilling to go against his conscience, Ren Xizhen
refused to collaborate with them. Once, at about ten o'clock in the evening, a dozen people came to my home.
Among them, an elderly man admonished our Teacher. As he walked out of the front
yard, he fell into a dirty ditch and injured his collarbone. He got his
retribution right away. There was another time at about 11 p.m., when seven or
eight people, including Li Ping and Yang Qiang, the deputy county supervisor,
took me to a car waiting outside. As Li Ping called out my name, it thundered
above his head. After just a few minutes, they released me. On December 24, 2000, three of us in my family went to my in-law's home to
celebrate the New Year. At eleven o'clock, while I was sleeping, Li Wusheng (who
has since died in an auto accident) brought with him a dozen police officers
from the Lushui Police Station to arrest me. Li Bo lied to my family, saying
they only wanted to talk to me and that they'd release me the following day. As
I arrived at the police station, I saw all the other practitioners who had been
to Beijing to appeal had been arrested. The police said, "We'll have a
quiet time for the New Year." On the following day, I was once again charged for "disturbing the
social order" and imprisoned for fifteen days. After fifteen days, they
sent me to a brainwashing class held in a conference room of the Langchi County
Street Office. On the first day, they sent for Yingshan TV Station to take
pictures. They tried to force me to face the camera and to say things slandering
our Teacher and to say I would give up practicing Falun Gong and break off with
Falun Gong. They wanted me to write a "Guarantee Statement" and to
obtain a Guarantee Statement from my family, and they also wanted me to pay
1,000 yuan to guarantee that I wouldn't practice Falun Gong. I refused all their
unreasonable demands. There were more than one hundred and forty people involved in persecuting and
trying to brainwash us. Deng Yanlin, the Langchi County Secretary, said,
"Since you are making me look bad, see what I'll do to you." The
division chief of the Nanchong Political Division said, "If you don't
cooperate and say you are giving up the practice, and you won't write the
'Guarantee Statement,' I'll have you sentenced." He was so angry that he
clenched his fists very tightly and his face was distorted. At 2 p.m., Yang Qiang, Deng Jianhua, Li Bo, Li Chaoxia, and Li Wusheng took
me to a small room and told Chuang Weiban and five other people to take turns
beating me. They asked me repeatedly whether or not I would continue to practice
Falun Gong. They said if I continued, I'd be sentenced to prison; if not, then I
had to write a "Guarantee Statement." I kept quiet so they continued
to beat me without stopping. They used their heavy boots to kick my thighs, my
stomach, and my back. They then forced me to kneel down on the ground and used
the heel of their shoes to kick my legs, intending to break my legs. They hit my
face, hands, and head. I was four months pregnant at the time, and my whole body
was cut and bruised, my mouth was filled with blood, my head and my hands were
swollen, and both my legs turned purple. I couldn't control my urination, and
then had a uterine hemorrhage. They would neither let me go free nor allow me a
change of clothes. A practitioner who helped me to wash my slacks was taken to a
brainwashing class by Li Renchang, Secretary of the Street Office. The authorities continued to persecute me. A week later, I gave in and wrote
a "Guarantee Statement." Li Chaoxia and another person with the last
name of Guo took me home. They tried to make my husband pay 1,000 yuan. When
they found out we had no money, they left. On the following day, I realized that
I shouldn't have written the "Guarantee Statement," so I went to the
government office and wrote a statement that I would continue to practice Falun
Gong. After they sent my statement to their leaders, several people came over
and grabbed hold of me and forcibly performed an abortion on my unborn child. A
four-month-old life was killed! After 20 days, the Langchi police came to my
home intending to arrest me, but by then I had already been away from home for
seventeen days to avoid recapture. I am still destitute and homeless today. Yang Qiang and Deng Jianhua went to
my house three times to harass my family and confiscated a copy of Zhuan
Falun (2). Luo Yongzhi has been to my house frequently looking for me. Below are the names of the people involved in persecuting me (some of them
