Daqing Police Illegally Arrest and Detain Several Falun Dafa Practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) Since its establishment in the end of 2004, personnel
from the Babaishang Branch of the Daqing Police Department have been using
ruthless and vicious methods to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. After its establishment, Li Daming, the former deputy head of the Daqing
Police Department Honggang Branch, was transferred to the Babaishang Branch. Li
had persecuted many Dafa practitioners while he was the deputy head of the
Honggang Branch. He used to intimidate practitioners, "As soon as you say
'I'll keep practicing Falun Gong,' I will send you to jail." His police staff also stops at nothing to persecute practitioners. During the
past half-year they have arrested and detained many practitioners in the
Babaishang area, ransacked their homes and sentenced them to forced labor. Persecution Case 1: On January 24, 2005 a group of police officers
arrested Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. An Senbiao. He worked at the seventh Task
Team of the Second Oil Extraction Plant and was clarifying the truth about Falun
Gong when it happened. Perpetrators were from the Babaishang Branch Police
Department (formerly Shengli Police Station), led by Gao Yufeng. Later they
sentenced him to three years of forced labor. Aside from Mr. An Senbiao's home being ransacked, he had suffered many
tortures, including being forced to sit on a metal chair for a long time, burned
with a cigarette, confined in a small cell, forced to wear handcuffs and
shackles that were usually reserved for death-row criminals, doused with water
in the cold of winter, and being beaten and sworn at. In the Suihua Labor Camp,
he was burned, scalded, pierced, shocked with electric batons and sexually
abused. They also filled his mouth with powdered detergent. Mr. An carried on a
hunger strike to protest the persecution, but was brutally force-fed. Even when
he was at the brink of death, his family members weren't allowed to see him. Mr. An Senbiao's mother, in her eighties, his sister and wife went from
office to office and official to official demanding his release. The Babaishang
Police Branch Chief Li Daming, however, humiliated the mother saying, "He
has committed crimes. The sentence was too light. You as the parent didn't do
well, so your son cannot be good either." He also cursed Mr. An's wife,
"You're no good either." He even made a phone call to the plant
authorities saying, "An Senbiao's family members are causing trouble here.
Why do you still keep him on the payroll? Expel him." The police accused the family of "disturbing official business" and
drove them out. The Suihua Labor Camp didn't release Mr. An Senbiao until he was
extremely weak and had multiple physical problems. The labor camp authorities
forced the family members to write a statement promising to send him back to the
labor camp after his recovery. Mr. An Senbiao is extremely emaciated. He used to weigh 165 jin (about 180
lbs), but now weighs only 85 jin (about 93 lbs). Due to long term shackling and
handcuffing, he cannot extend his arms or bend over and cannot take care of
himself. Persecution Case 2: On the morning of May 16, 2005, policeman Wang Haibin
and others from the Community Police Task Force, Team Six of the Daqing Police
Department's Babaishang Branch, waited outside the home of Falun Gong
practitioners Sui Qifeng and his wife Li Shulian, trying to arrest them. Since
nobody came out, they shut off the electricity. When someone from the family
came out to check, the police used this opportunity and barged into the house,
ransacking it and attempting to arrest Sui Qifeng and Li Shulian. Due to lack of manpower and the resistance of Mr. Sui Qifeng, the policemen
first took away his wife, Mrs. Li Shulian, who is nearly 60 years old. To keep
the policemen from breaking into his house again, Mr. Sui Qifeng locked the door
from the inside. More than ten policemen removed the locks with an electric
drill and broke into the house. They arrested Mr. Sui Qifeng, who is also nearly 60 years old, and took 50
yuan from him to have the locks replaced. After arresting Sui Qifeng and Li Shulian, the policemen charged them with
"disturbing social order" and sent them to the Daqing Longfeng
Detention Center and Daqing City Detention Center, respectively. A few days
later they sentenced them to forced labor and sent them to labor camps without
even notifying their family members. Mr. Sui Qifeng is presently incarcerated at the Daqing Labor Camp. Ms. Li
Shulian was first sent to the Harbin Drug Control Labor Camp, but because she
didn't pass the physical exam, the labor camp refused to accept her. The
policemen then sent her to the Qiqihar Shuanghe Labor Camp for persecution. Persecution Case 3: On July 27, 2005, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang
Weiguang was working at the Limin Restaurant in Babaishang's Area No. 6.
Policeman Wang Haibin and others from the Community Police Task Force, Team Six
of the Daqing Police Department's Babaishang Branch barged into the restaurant,
claiming to be conducting a standard ID check. They took Mr. Zhang Weiguang away
and ransacked his home. Mr. Zhang is now locked up at the Daqing Detention
Center. On July 28, 2005, Falun Dafa practitioner Shi Liwen went to visit her friend.
As soon as she entered her friend's building, policemen arrested her and
ransacked her home. When they went to ransack her home Ms. Shi's son, not a
practitioner, didn't open the door as fast as the policemen demanded and was
taken away also. He was released that night. Ms. Shi is being held at the Daqing
Detention Center. Contact information of persons responsible for these persecution cases: Daqing City Police Department Babaishang Branch, Zip 163412 Director, Li Daming 86-459-4980777(Office), 86-13836709003(Cell) Political Head, Ma Xinke: 86-459-4980123(Office) 86-13329500833(Cell),
