Ms. Su Hongying Detained and Tortured By the Kaifeng Police

(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, a large number of Falun Gong practitioners from Kaifeng City, Henan Province have been arrested and had their homes and truth clarification materials production centers ransacked. Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Su Hongying from the Kaifeng Municipal Ob/Gyn Hospital was one of the latest victims.

At around noon on November 14, 2005, Ms. Su Hongying was arrested on Yangguangmiao Street by policemen Mou Peikai, Zhang Hu, Fang Le, and Wu Xiuguo from the Qingping Police Station. The police reported the arrest to the 610 Office. At about 8:00 p.m. that evening, two policemen, Hao Linbin and Liu Yuejin from the 610 Office, with more than ten other people, raided Ms. Su's home without showing any identification or a search warrant. They took away her computer, color printer, CD-ROM writer, Falun Gong books, truth clarification materials, and CD-ROMs, along with all the cash in the house. They immediately went to Su Hongying's workplace and confiscated Falun Gong materials and Ms. Su's salary note from her bank. That same evening, they also arrested Ms. Su's son Chen Xin with the excuse that he did not cooperate with the raid, and tortured and interrogated him until 3 a.m. the next morning before they released him.

On November 15, the 610 Office transferred Su Xongxing to the Kaifeng City Detention Center under the charges of "Plotting to topple the state government." No family members were allowed to visit her. Ms. Su was exposed to bitterly cold weather, detained along with drug addicts and convicted murderers, and brutally tortured.

On December 15, Ms. Su Hongying received an official arrest warrant, for allegedly "organizing and using a [slanderous term omitted] to obstruct law enforcement."

Currently, Ms. Su is still being detained at the Kaifeng City Detention Center. The police have threatened her with a three- to seven-year prison sentence.

Since Su Hongying's arrest, the 610 Office has continued to threaten, harass, and extort money from Ms. Su's husband and son. Their telephone line and their residence is being tapped and videotaped. Ms. Su's husband and son are now being looked down upon by others. The financial situation of their family, which was not well off to begin with, is in dire straits. Another peaceful family has been torn apart and financially destroyed by the persecution.
