Persecution Cases of Practitioners in Hongcheng Village, Handian Town, Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province
(Clearwisdom.net) We describe here the persecution cases of practitioners in Hongcheng Village,
Handian Town, Shuangcheng City since July 20, 1999: 1. Ms. Jiang Minghua, 38, began practicing Falun Gong in 1996. On July 20, 1999, Ms. Jiang went to the provincial capital Harbin to appeal
to the authorities and to expose the wicked lies of Jiang's regime about Falun
Gong. After she returned home, the village official Liu Jianjun and party
secretary Liu Yingwu asked her to turn in her Falun Gong books and pledge not to
practice or appeal in the future. They sent people to watch her and deprived her
of her freedom. On September 9, 1999, Ms Jiang went to Beijing to appeal again. There she was
arrested and brought to the provincial liaison office in Beijing. Zhang Dianqi,
Gu Zhenlong, Yu Zhanjun and Sui Guangcheng conducted a body search on her. They
sent her and a dozen other practitioners back to Shuangcheng City and locked
them in the Shuangcheng Detention Center on September 11. Liu Chunyang and Zhang
Shiyue of the "610 Office" (1) interrogated them and forced
them to write pledges promising not to practice Falun Gong again. They were
jailed for 82 days before their release. During the process, they were each
extorted 2,500 yuan by Handian Town Office, 500 yuan by the town police station,
and 3,000 yuan by Shuangcheng Detention Center, on top of the 670 yuan meal
expenses they were forced to pay (500 Yuan is the average monthly income for
an urban worker in China). Liu Jianjun, who was responsible for watching Ms Jiang, was fired because of
her going to Beijing to appeal. In April 2000, Ms Jiang went to Beijing to appeal and was arrested again. She
was brought back and put into Shuangcheng Detention Center by a group of
policemen including Yu Zhanjun and Liu Yingwu of Handian Town Police Station. On
the way there, policemen Sui Guangcheng and Yu Zhanjun abused her, one using a
book to hit her head and the other slapping her face, asking her if she would
continue to practice. She replied: "Definitely. All my illnesses have gone
away since I began, how can I not keep practicing?" After they got out of
the car, Sui slapped her again twice. In the detention center, because she
wanted to practice the Falun Gong exercises, she was handcuffed and shackled,
and left standing for a whole afternoon. The staff only unchained her when they
began to interrogate her. She was kept in the detention center for thirty-one
days. In March 2000, she went to visit a fellow practitioner and was spotted by the
village chief Liu Xiaoping. He and a group of others ran after her and dragged
her back home, beating her and kicking her on the way. On May 13, 2003, someone reported that practitioner Tan Chengqiang was
posting Dafa materials that explained the facts of the persecution. The
authorities went to his home but did not find him. Then they went to Ms. Jiang's
home and tried to arrest her, but she managed to escape. (Tan was later arrested
and died on July 19 that year from the persecution he received while being
detained.) 2. Ms. Wang Zhifen, 54, was pushed into a police car by ully armed police on the
night of July 21, 1999, when she went to appeal to the provincial government.
They first took her to a stadium, then to the Sixty-Ninth High School. Finally
Zhang Dianqi and Li Zhu brought her back to the Town Office and released her at
midnight. Later, village official Liu Jianjun and Liu Yingwu went to her house
and asked her to write statements pledging that she would ask for permission to
travel anywhere in the future, and that she would not travel to appeal for fair
treatment for Falun Dafa with other practitioners. Essentially she was asked to
give up her constitutional rights. When questioned, the authorities said:
"It is not our fault. The higher authorities ordered us to do this."
Under such unfair treatment, she went to Beijing on September 9, 1999 to appeal
and tell people the true story about Dafa. Upon arrival she was seized by police
and sent to the provincial liaison office in Beijing. Zhang Dianqi, Gu Zhenlong,
Sui Guangcheng, and Yu Zhanjun searched her and took away her 27 yuan. The next
day they brought her back to Shuangcheng Detention Center and detained her there
indefinitely. Later they forced her to sign papers pledging not to practice
cultivation, nor to go appealing, nor to rally with other practitioners. They
even found someone to cosign the pledges as a guarantor. The town office and the
detention center each extorted 3,000 yuan from her, and she was forced to pay
670 yuan for meal expenses. She was not released until 81 days later. After Ms Wang's release, the village officials Liu Xiaoping, Wang Hongsheng,
and Xing Zengchun wanted her to sign papers pledging not to go to Beijing to
appeal, and asked her son to cosign, saying that they would arrest her son if
she goes to Beijing again. In addition, they wanted to put a lien on her house.
She rejected the whole thing and tore their paper up. 3. Mr. Wen Yonghua, 39, began practicing Dafa in 1996. On July 21, 1999,
he went to appeal to the provincial government and was brought back to Handian
Town Office. The next day, village officials Liu Jianjun and Liu Yingwu, and town official
Su Liguo went to his house to search for Dafa books. They asked him to write
pledges not to practice nor to participate in any appeal with other
practitioners, or else they would send him to detention center. On November 5,
1999, someone reported him visiting a fellow practitioner, so the village party
secretary Liu Yingwu brought him to the police station. The station chief Wang
Guangzhong and political and justice secretary Wang Jinzhu ordered their
subordinates to interrogate him and beat him up. They tried to find electric
batons but did not find one. In beating him, Li Keji broke the broom he used.
Sui Guangcheng broke a wooden bench that he used to hit Mr. Wen's legs and
soles. They kept him in the police station for another day after the beating,
and then they sent him to the Shuangcheng Detention Center. In the detention
center, the guards directed the inmates to beat him and verbally abuse him. The
deputy director Zhang Shiyao extorted 4,500 yuan from his family, and forced him
to write pledges and turn in 240 yuan for meals. They released him after a
month. In 2000, Wen Yonghua exercised his legal rights and went to Beijing to appeal
for Dafa. At Tiananmen Square he was pushed into a police car and driven to the
Qianmen Police Station, and was beaten and verbally abused on the way there.
After detaining him for a day, the police took him to the detention center in
Yanqing County that night. There he was beaten and detained for 7 days, until
Handian Police Station policeman Li Keji and village party secretary Liu Yingwu
took him back to Shuangcheng Detention Center. There the inmates beat and
insulted him. His eyes were blackened and became so swollen that he could not
see. They punched him in the throat, so that he could barely breathe. For two
months, they disallowed him from sleeping on the bed and only let him sleep on
the cold cement floor. They even restricted his toilet privilege. The village
officials tried to extort money from his family, attempting to put a lien on
their house and to force them to comply. His family rejected the blackmail, but
was eventually extorted of 2,000 yuan by Zhang Shiyao, plus an additional 240
yuan for food expenses. Wen Yonghua was finally released after 80 days. The village officials have been constantly going to Mr. Wen's house to harass
him, causing his wife severe mental stress. 4. Ms. Zhang Xiuqin, 34, began practicing Dafa in 1996. She went to
Beijing to appeal on July 6, 2000 and was arrested. The village chief Wang
Hongsheng and party secretary Liu Yingwu forced her family to pay 500 yuan in
expenses for Hangdian deputy party secretary Wang Jinzhu and police station
driver Lang Fenggui to travel to Beijing and get her. They brought her back on
July 12 and put her in Shuangcheng Detention Center for a 15-day jail term, but
they did not let her go when the term was up. A guard, Mr. Du, poured cold water
on her, scolded her and forced her to stand while she was in the detention
center. When Zhang Xiuqin's family went to visit her, Chief Zhang told them that they
would release Ms Zhang if the family paid 800 yuan. Her family could not help
but pay the 800 yuan, on top of 120 yuan in meal expenses. Jin Wanchi from the
"610 Office" took the money. When they got back to the village, they
were fined another 1,250 yuan. The village sent Xing Zengchun, Liu Xiaoping,
Wang Hongpo and Liu Zhilong to watch her. Liu Xiaoping and Jin Changhong tailed
her constantly and took her identification card away. When she tried to get it
back, Liu Yingwu asked her to sign a paper pledging not to practice Dafa but she
refused. The village commission sent Su Limin to her house to harass her from
time to time, creating constant disturbances to her whole family. Phone numbers of responsible organizations and people (Zip code of Handian Town is 150115) Shuangcheng City "610 Office": 86-451-53165610 Shuangcheng City First Detention Center, chief Li Zhongxiu: (Office)
