Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in the Xiangheyuan Area of Beijing
(Clearwisdom.net) On February 2, 2005, Falun Gong practitioner Wang Guilan of the Xiangheyuan
Area, Chaoyang District, Beijing was deceived into the residents committee
office by the Committee Secretary Zhang Xueying, and was later illegally
arrested. Since the persecution began on July 20, 1999 until now, the
Xiangheyuan Area (around Zuojiazhuang), the local 610 Office, the
police station, and residents committees have cooperated with Jiang Zemin's
regime to viciously persecute Falun Gong. The Xiangheyuan Area has encountered
the most severe persecution. For more than five years, more than one hundred Falun Gong practitioners in
the Xiangheyuan Area have been directly persecuted. They have been monitored,
harassed, threatened, arrested many times, detained and held in custody,
physically abused, sent to brainwashing centers and forced labor camps,
sentenced to prison, and even tortured to death. The 610 Office and policemen
also incited the public to hate Falun Gong practitioners. They arranged security
guards, elevator workers, Communist Party members, activists in the area, and
practitioners' neighbors to monitor and follow practitioners. From the young to
the old, many people in the area regarded persecuting Falun Gong practitioners
as the most important task. In the Xiangheyuan Area, the numbers of people being
sent to the forced labor camp and brainwashing center are the greatest in
Beijing. In order to achieve a 100% "transformation" rate, the money
the brainwashing center has spent is also the greatest in Beijing. The number of
evildoers who persecute Falun Gong practitioners, from police station managers
to area police, from the 610 Office chief to the Residents' Committee Secretary
that have been commended and promoted, is also the greatest in Beijing. For
example, Residents Committee Office Chief Xue Youxin and Zhang Decai have been
promoted for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Xue Youxin even boasted that
they had a 100% "transformation" rate. Cao Guo from the 610 Office
became a top Communist Party member for "transforming" and arresting
Li Shanjuan. We demand that the murderers and accomplices who persecute Falun Dafa and
practitioners are severely punished, and all the evildoers receive justice
according to the law. We will expose the crimes of the Xiangheyuan Area to the
world. 1. Falun Dafa practitioners who died from the persecution 1) Ms. Li Yuling, 55 years old, lived at West Zuojiazhuang Lane. Since 1999,
she was illegally arrested, detained and had her home ransacked many times. She
was sent to a brainwashing center twice and sent to a mental hospital for
further persecution in 2000. She was followed for many years, and policemen from
the 610 Office often harassed her at home. Eventually Li Yuling had to leave
home to avoid further persecution. In June 2003, she was arrested when she was
handing out Falun Gong truth-clarification materials and tortured to
death in nine days. (For a detailed report, please visit http://clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2003/7/11/38012.html) 2) Ms. Wang Huipu, 62 years old, lived at north Liufang Lane. Since 1999, she
was detained many times and persecuted at a brainwashing center three times. She
was forced to leave home to avoid the persecution in 2001. 610 Office personnel
lied to her family, saying that she would not be persecuted anymore, so she
returned home. However, she was arrested again and detained in a basement to be
brainwashed and tormented. Even when she was quite ill and had blood in her
stool, 610 Office personnel and policemen did not spare her. They sent
collaborators to harass her at home and security guards to supervise
her 24 hours a day. Wang Huipu was persecuted to death in November 2003. 3) Ms. Zhao Hong, 55 years old, lived at central Xibahe Lane. Since 2001, the
police have arrested her many times and persecuted her at a brainwashing center.
When the police arrested her, her husband was traumatized and lost the ability
to take care of himself. Meanwhile, she was dismissed from work. After Zhao Hong
practiced Falun Gong, all of her illnesses went away, but after she was
persecuted in the brainwashing center, she became emaciated and died in 2004. 2. Falun Dafa practitioners sentenced to prison or forced labor 1) Ms. Xiang Guilan lives at central Xibahe Lane. Since 1999, she has been
