Words From the Heart of A Guizhou Province Government Official
(Clearwisdom.net) On August 22, 2006, my attention was drawn to a
disturbance happening outside my office door. I went out to investigate and saw
that the 610 Office was packed with people, and the 610 Office chief
Gou Dewei was shouting at the top of his lungs. This occurred in the office
building of the Politics and Law Committee in Qiannan County, Guizhou Province. After asking around, I got to know some of the details as described below: Starting on June 20 of this year the Politics and Law Committee's 610 Office
in Qiannan County, in order to carry out policy from higher level authorities,
discussed and carried out secret plans to arrest Falun Gong practitioners. They
held urgent meetings with the heads of different work units that have Falun Gong
practitioners and treated these good people who practice the principles of
Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance as "class struggle enemies" in
a new wave of persecution. The targeted Falun Gong practitioners included Wei
Tianlan from the Bureau of Sanitation in Qiannan County, Liang Zhengfeng from
the governmental boarding house of Qiannan County, Zhou Yun from the Travel
Agency of Dujun City, Huang Guixian an editor from Qiannan County TV Station's
News Division, and an unknown practitioner from Guiding County. On June 20, the above mentioned practitioners were deceived out of their work
units, arrested and secretly sent to a brainwashing center in Lannigou, Guiyang
City. This center has no public signs on the outside of it, as authorities fear
the public finding out about its role in the persecution. The Qiannan County 610
Office is the only authority in the whole province of Guizhou that sends Falun
Gong practitioners to this brainwashing center for persecution. After being sent to the brainwashing center, Wei Tianlan's blood pressure
rose to around 220, yet the 610 Office would not release her. The authorities at
Wei's work unit lied to her son, saying that his mother was sent to do some
studying in a quality hotel and there was no need to worry about his mother.
Later on, after her son got to know the actual situation, he became worried
about his mother's well-being. Her son's old illness returned and he was on the
verge of death. Only when they saw Wei Tianlan's son in this terrible state, did
they allow Ms. Wei to go back home and see her son. Sadly, Ms. Wei's son passed
away two days after her release. Ms. Liang Zhengfeng was persecuted in the brainwashing center and became
extremely emaciated. She has been detained there till now. Zhou Yun was
persecuted beyond recognition and has been detained there as well. Ms. Huang
Guixian's work unit deceived her in the name of checking her salary, while they
actually planned to arrest her as soon as she arrived at work. Ms. Huang Guixian
saw through the fraud and escape arrest. After the above persecution happened, the families of the persecuted
practitioners went to the 610 Office and demanded the immediate release of their
family members. Hence came the scene that caught my attention on August 22. I witnessed how the 610 Office chief Gou Dewei roared at Falun Gong
practitioners' families when they reasoned with him based on the constitution
and the criminal law. In the past 7 years since July 20, 1999, there have been several hundred
Falun Gong practitioners who were arrested, sentenced to prison terms and forced
labor camp terms, detained and forcibly brainwashed by the Qiannan County's
Politics and Law Committee, Dujun City's Politics and Law Committee, and the 610
Office together with the Public Security Bureau. Among these practitioners, many
were persecuted to death, and there is suspicion that some practitioners might
have been victims of live organ harvesting. As a matter of fact, I know these Falun Gong practitioners, and I know they
are all good people acknowledged by their peers. Aren't they just doing
exercises, improving their health, assimilating to the principles of
Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance, and upgrading their moral standards to
better serve society? It is a good thing. It is beneficial to everyone and
harmful to no one. These practitioners would not disturb the social order or
threaten others' safety. On the contrary, they follow the principles of
Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance, dare to give up their own fame and
fortune in order to choose their principles, and have no fear in facing prison,
torture, being homeless and losing freedom. They are comfortable simply living
to safeguard their beliefs. These practitioners have gained respect and
admiration from all people, including myself. Written on 9/20/2006
