Jiamusi University Lecturer Sentenced to 20 Year Prison Term for Broadcasting Video about the Persecution of Falun Gong
(Clearwisdom.Net) Falun Dafa practitioner Huang Min, 62, is a lecturer
from Jiamusi University. In 1989, he suffered partial paralysis from an
accident. Later he developed pleurisy, peritonitis, ascites, and trigeminal
neuralgia. At the point where he was completely relying on medicine to survive,
and his salary could no longer cover his medical expenses, he discovered Falun
Dafa. He began to practice Falun Dafa. After he practiced for a while, all his
diseases vanished. Because of this, his wife, son, and daughter started to
practice Falun Gong too. The whole family experienced perfect health. Witnessing the family's changes, Huang Min became more confident and firm in
the practice. Within one and a half years, he went back to work, after eight
years of being sick. He strictly adhered to high standards as required by the Fa,
and he put all of his energy into the education career that he loved. He was a
college professor, and he contributed all of his materials, experience, and
equipment worth ten thousand Yuan (1), to his lab. In the face of personal gain
and comfort, he thought of others first. When he was nominated for a promotion,
he said, "I'm pretty old now. I can still contribute the rest of my life
without a promotion. Let the younger generation have this opportunity." Just when his family was realizing benefits based on the requirements of
Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance, a persecution towards kind people
began. Huang Min said to his family, "It was Master and Dafa that gave me a
second life; we're not wrong to be good people based on Truthfulness,
Compassion, and Tolerance. Wherever I go, I'm a Dafa disciple." Huang Min
proudly went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in spite of the rampant
suppression. In November 1999, he was detained in the Jiamusi Detention Center for six
months. In 2000 he was illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor for
going to Beijing to appeal. In the Jiamusi Labor Camp, they tried to force him
to renounce Falun Gong. He was detained in the centralized special team for five
months. In August 2001, due to torture he received in the forced labor camp, Huang
Min could no longer take care of himself. Under strong requests from his family
and other righteous people, Huang Min was sent to a hospital outside of the
labor camp. He started to practice Falun Gong exercises again and he recovered
very quickly. He again moved forward diligently in the enormous wave of Fa-rectification.
He has been validating Dafa, clarifying the truth, and saving people by
conveying his own experiences. On March 5, 2002, after Changchun practitioners clarified the truth via a
cable or satellite broadcast, Huang Min became inspired. His field was
electronics, and he had once worked in a TV factory. He said, "This is my
responsibility that I cannot push away." Therefore he and some other
practitioners started using TV broadcasting to clarify the truth to the people. In April 2002, the police started to pursue him everywhere, and he was forced
to leave home. During that period, his family suffered all kinds of harassment.
Police visits never stopped, and the police stayed at his home 24 hours a day.
His family members were always followed when they went out, and his home was
ransacked many times. His family members have also been illegally abducted,
interrogated, and threatened many times. During the 16th Conference
in China, his wife was illegally abducted and detained for 42 days. In 2002, in order to capture Huang Min, the general Police Bureau offered a
reward of 50,000 Yuan. Another 10,000 Yuan was offered to the local city upon
his capture. In 2003 Weifang City Police Station in Shandong Province arrested
Huang Min and sentenced him to 20 years in prison. Now Huang Min is detained in the Shandong Prison. For over a year, Huang Min
has maintained righteous thoughts and insisted on maintaining his belief. He has
been detained in the 8th Allocation Assembly for nine months now, and
he has often been severely persecuted and tortured. It was reported that the
Shandong Prison is starting another round of more serious persecution to force
Falun Dafa practitioners to renounce the practice. Dafa practitioners are often
forced to sit on small benches to be brainwashed. He has refused to sit. Around
May 1, he went on a hunger strike. His current situation is not known. We ask all righteous and kind people, and Dafa disciples around the world, to
help stop the persecution of Dafa practitioners in the Shandong Prison by
utilizing every way possible. Shandong Prison Information: Telephone: 86-531-8585-200, 86-531-8936-691 transfer to 4. Address: (1) Yuan is the Chinese currency. The average monthly salary of an urban
