Facts about the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners by the Police in Xianghe County Hebei Province

By a practitioner in Hebei Province

(Clearwisdom.net) The Jiang regime and the Chinese Communist Party continue to persecute the kind Falun Gong practitioners in China. Zhang Yuhui, a farmer from Wangjiabai Village, Anping Township, Xianghe County, Hebei Province, was illegally arrested and detained by the local police. The police extorted money from his family. In order to get the demanded sum of 40,000 yuan, his family had to borrow money everywhere. In May 2005 the National Security Brigade of Xianghe County Public Security Bureau said to Zhang Yuhui, "The money was confiscated and you are not able to get back a penny."

On March 8, 2004 the Political and Protection Department of Xianghe County Public Security Bureau harassed people they targeted as "key persons," using the excuse of "protecting social stability" while the two conferences (the National People's Congress Conference and the National Political Consultative Conference) were being held in Beijing. In the late afternoon of that day they rushed to the home of a couple, Zhang Shun and Yan Fengxia, who lived in the family compound of the Xianghe County Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Zhang Shun was a former employee of the Bureau. He was fired from his position because he practiced Falun Gong and was sent to a forced labor camp. His wife Yan Fengxia was previously employed by the Xianghe County Industrial Bureau. She was put into the Custodial Center and illegally sentenced to a forced labor camp several times for practicing Falun Gong. Because they were previously persecuted quite a few times, the couple did not open the door when the police came this time. But the next day the Political and Protection Department of Xianghe County Public Security Bureau ordered a locksmith from the street stall to pry open their door. Thus the couple was arrested again. It was said that this whole process was videotaped.

Several months after Zhang Shun and Yan Fengxia were arrested, the Political and Protection Department of Xianghe County Public Security Bureau arrested Yan Yunxia (a farmer from Shuyang Township, Xianghe County), Meng Shuling (a teacher from Baimiao School in Shuyang Township, Xianghe County), An Shuqin (unemployed, from Xianghe County), Li Wensheng (a retired worker from Xianghe County Water Conservancy Bureau in Xianghe County), Wang Jianming (an employee of the Xianghe County Chinese Medicine Hospital), Zhang Yuhui (a farmer in Wangjiabai Village, Anping Township, Xianghe County), Zhang Xian (previously a policeman of the Xianghe County Public Security Bureau but was fired from his position because of practicing Falun Gong - found a job later on in the Xianghe County Community Office.), and Cao Jiner (from Biancheng Village, Anping Township, Xianghe County).

The Political and Protection Department of Xianghe County Public Security Bureau and the local 610 Office extorted money from the above practitioners in the name of expenses for their staying in the brainwashing class on remand. The sum they charged each person is as follows:

Zhang Shun: 5000 yuan
Meng Shuling: altogether 10,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan for remand, later on confiscated, the whereabouts of the other 5,000 yuan was unclear
An Shuqin: altogether 10,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan for remand, later on confiscated, the whereabouts of the other 5,000 yuan is unclear
Li Wensheng: 10,000 yuan as on remand fee, then was confiscated
Wang Jianming: 5,000 yuan as on remand fee, then was confiscated
Zhang Yuhui: 40,000 yuan as on remand fee, then was confiscated
Zhang Xian: altogether 7,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan as on remand fee, then confiscated; no receipt for the other 2,000 yuan
Cao Jiner: illegally sentenced to the forced labor camp
