The Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Jinyang City, Sichuan Province
By a practitioner in China (Clearwisdom.net) According to information from inside sources, a few
months before July 20, 2005, more than 50 practitioners in Jinyang City were
arrested. They were detained in detention centers in various cities and
counties. So far, two of them have been released, some are serving terms in
forced labor camps, and others are in brainwashing centers. Before July 20, 2005, every police station, residential association and some
practitioners' work places joined together in taking practitioners to
brainwashing centers under the pretense of wanting to talk with practitioners,
going through formalities, etc. As a result, many practitioners have been forced
to leave home to avoid further persecution. The following is information on
practitioners who have been illegally detained. Ms. Pan Qifen, in her 50s, is from Zitong County of Jinyang City. The police
arrested her on her way to work around May 2005. They searched her home.
Although they did not find anything, they still threatened and coerced Ms. Pan
to admit that she passed out truth-clarifying materials. Her
relatives were extorted about 10,000 yuan by the police. The police
told her relatives that Ms. Pan would be released, but instead they sentenced
her to 2 years of forced labor. Ms. Wang Yuan, in her 30s, is a teacher at Jinyang City Education College.
She was arrested last year and the police searched her home and confiscated her
computer. Mr. Wang was arrested again before July 20, 2005. Mr. Chen Haidong, in his 40s, was a teacher of the Hydropower School in
Gaoxin District of Jinyang City. Last September, he was sentenced to one year in
a forced labor camp because of clarifying the truth of Falun Gong to his class.
The police confiscated his two computers. Mr. Chen was arrested again around
July 20, 2005. Mr. Wang Yancai, in his 50s, a retiree from the Eleventh Factory of Jinyang
City, lives in Yongxing Town of Gaoxin District. He was sent to a forced labor
camp because of practicing Falun Gong before. He was released after serving his
term, and he was arrested again on July 20, 2005. Ms. Feng Biqiong is a family member of someone who is working at the
Automobile Steering Factory of Gaoxin District. On July 24, 2005, she was
deceived into going to a brainwashing session held in the Yulong Hotel in Yulong
Village of Gaoxin District. At this brainwashing session, eight people were in
charge of "transforming" her. After Ms. Feng signed a "guarantee
statement", she was sent back home. The officials later searched her home
and confiscated two Falun Gong books. Ms. An Zhihong is a resident of Fule Street of Jinyang City. On July 21,
2005, she was taken to a brainwashing session by members of the local residents
association. Other detained practitioners are: Ms. Gao Yan, Ms. Ming Zhu, Zhang Chunbao,
Feng Wei, Yi Huajie, Yue Bing, Chui Xiaoping, and Wu Digao. The following is the contact information of people who have been involved in
