Jimo City Public Security Department Officials Who Understand the Truth Resist Orders to Arrest Falun Gong Practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, Public Security Department officials in
Jimo City, Shandong Province who understand the facts regarding the persecution
of Falun Gong resisted instructions from party committee secretary, Zhang
Hongxun, ordering the unlawful arrests of local Falun Gong practitioners.
However Zhang Hongxun has not changed and continues to commit wrongdoings. He is
responsible for all kinds of evil things in Jimo City. According to reliable sources, Zhang Hongxun, recently again ordered the
public security department to illegally arrest local Falun Gong practitioners.
The authorities all know Falun Gong practitioners are good people and thus, they
refused to carry out the directive. After Zhang Hongxun failed with threats and
intimidation, he could only gather up and order other authorities who were still
misled about Falun Gong to help him make the arrests. According to a Clearwisdom report, during April and May this year, many Falun
Gong practitioners went missing or were illegally arrested in Jimo City. Zhang
Hongxun and his accomplices could not get away with anything. On the night of April 17, 2004, Ms. Zhang Xiuying from No. 3 Village,
Lingshan Town, Jimo City, Shandong Province went out and never returned home. A few days later, her son, Fang Shaoliang, and another practitioner, Hu
Dunxiang from Lingshan Town disappeared together. It was initially confirmed
that the local "610 Office" (1) had taken these three people. On April
23, public security officers at the urging of Zhang Hongxun abducted another
practitioner from Chenjiahe, Jimo City, Ms. Gao Fengqin who is now being held in
the Jimo Detention Center. Inside sources revealed that the authorities from Lingshan Town's "610
Office" used Fang Shaoliang's young child to entrap him and his wife. The
villagers said that the local police officers have been to Fang's home many
times and could not catch him. In order to entrap Fang Shaoliang, they called
him and asked him and his wife to return home because no one was taking care of
their son. In April last year, Lingshan Town "610 Office" and policemen made a
call to Ms. Shao Shouxiang and lied to her by saying her daughter "had a
stomachache at school and has to be sent to the hospital". They set up a
trap in the Lingshan Town Hospital, arrested Shao Shouxiang, Fang Shaoliang and
Wang Xin on the same day, and detained them at the brainwashing center in Wang
Village Forced Labor Camp for 4 months. For the past several years, the
authorities have unlawfully arrested many practitioners in Lingshan Town
repeatedly. According to incomplete statistics, from 1999 until now, the number of Falun
Gong practitioners who have been illegally detained and sentenced to forced
labor camps in Jimo City alone has reached 100. Many practitioners have been
sentenced and one practitioner was tortured to death by Jinan Forced Labor Camp
officials. Even more practitioners have been subjected to brutal torture at the
detention center, psychological torture at the brainwashing center, and a few
dozen people have had huge amounts in fines extorted from them as well as their
property confiscated. Many practitioners had to leave home to avoid the
persecution, and large numbers of practitioners' families have been forced to
break up. Zhang Hongxun is corrupt and degenerate and lives a life of wanton waste and
excess of every kind. He does not care about people and wantonly and illegally
sells farmland that generates crops to feed people for his own enrichment. For
example, because he developed real estate property on Fangzi Street in Jimo City
on confiscated farmland, he aroused popular indignation, and caused the
villagers to collectively appeal for help. It was discovered that he illegally
sold more than 4,000 acres of farm land to construct a golf course. Moreover, in
the recent land reorganization, he fabricated data to deceive both superiors and
subordinates. Zhang Hongxun went to attend the central party school study last
year, where he made many connections with all levels of higher authorities, so
after he returned to Jimo, he continued his appointment as the Jimo City party
committee secretary. We hope all Falun Gong practitioners and kind-hearted people in Jimo City can
speak out, and stop the illegal persecution of Falun Gong. Zhang Hongxun, office secretary telephone: 86-532-8551001C86-532-8551003
