The Persecution of Ms. Yang Hualian, an Engineer from Guanghan City, Sichuan Province

By a Dafa Disciple from Mainland China

(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Yang Hualian, 53-years-old is an engineer from the Bureau of Agriculture in Guanghan city, Sichuan Province, China. Ever since July 20, 1999, she has remained committed to her belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." For refusing to renounce Falun Dafa, she has been arrested, tortured and forced to undergo brainwashing many times. She has twice been imprisoned in a labor camp for a year. She has recently been sentenced to three years of imprisonment.

In 2001, Yang Hualian was taken to the Zizhong County Nanmu Women's Detention Center. Policewoman Zhang Xiaofang incited convicts to beat her. She was covered with cuts and bruises and her lumbar vertebrae were broken. She lay in bed and couldn't get up. Her term at the labor camp was extended before her release. On July 7, 2004 she was arrested again and taken to the Chongshang Science and Education School brainwashing class in Deyang city. In the beginning, the staff tried to coerce her into giving up her belief by helping her wash her hair, feet, her clothes and peeling the skin of fruit for her. After seeing that it had no effect, they showed their fierce side. Using psychological and physical torture, they punched and kicked her, ripped out her hair, pulled her ears, and banged her head against the wall. They did not let her sleep, used toxic gas to suffocate her, and threatened her, saying, "If you refuse to obey, we'll send you to jail." This brutality lasted 48 days.

Yang Hualian went to her workplace on the morning of July 8, 2005. She was arrested again by policeman Li Dan and others from the north city police station and taken to a brainwashing class. After being tortured, she couldn't stand up straight. She couldn't walk, and her blood pressure rose to 230. She was then taken to hospital for emergency rescue. On September 22, 2005, they deceived her by saying, "Quick, pack your things! You've finally finished, and your workplace has come to take you home." However, they sent her straight to jail. After being taken to the jail, she was secretly sent to court.

Yang Hualian told Liu Shengwei of the court, "The so-called evidence is all fabricated by the Ministry of Public Security, national guard, Yang Bin and others." She asked that the inspection bureau carefully examine the evidence. However, Liu replied, "We don't have the right to, nor is it our responsibility to do so."

The court session on April 5 and 12 of 2006 was twice delayed to the 29^th. The inspector, Liu Shengwei, used the time spent in the labor camp as the main source of evidence for the crime, and also used it to determine the sentence. He [Liu Shengwei] also used the fabricated evidence made up by national guard policeman Yang Bin and Zhou Zhihong, and illegally sentenced Yang Hualian to three years. Yang Hualian appealed to the Deyang city intermediate court afterwards. On June 28, 2006, the ruling was maintained at the original three years.

Yang Hualian is still illegally imprisoned in the Guanghan city jail. According to insiders, prison police put unknown drugs in Yang Hualian's food.
