Officials at the Saertu Police Department in Daqing City Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners Ms. Li Hui and Ms. Du Shuxia By a Falun Gong practitioner in Daqing City
(Clearwisdom.net) Officials from the Saertu District Police Department in
Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, arrested Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Li Hui
and Ms. Du Shuxia on September 22, 2007. They handcuffed the women behind their
backs and sent them to the No. 1 Detention Center in Daqing City at 8:00 p.m. In
the days that followed they tortured and interrogated them and videotaped the
entire process. They bound Li Hui to a metal chair for several days. They constantly
pressured her and tried to extort a "confession." They planned to
fabricate charges against the practitioners and forbade family visits. They lied
to the families in an attempt to extort money by saying the practitioners had
committed felonies. Ms. Li's arrest happened during an arrest sweep on April 25, 2007, staged by
officials from Saertu District Police Department. She escaped the next morning
and went into exile. The police claimed she was a "Level A
Criminal-at-large" just because she persevered in her belief in
"Truth, Compassion and Tolerance." The police ransacked the home of another practitioner, Ms. Du Shuxia. They
took her computer(s), printer(s), MP3 player(s), a large but unknown amount of
cash, a bank deposit book, and a salary card, falsely claiming it was money used
for Falun Gong activities. Ms. Du was left with less than one yuan
after the plundering and cannot even afford to buy food for her high school aged
son. Li Liansheng, Saertu District Police Department deputy head, is personally
responsible for the persecution Zhong Yuzhen, female, head of Community Division Six: 86-459-4682175
(Office), 86-459-6688678 (Home), 86-13936734888 (Cell) Ms. Li Hui, 38, worked at the Daqing Materials Corporation and lived near the
Daqing Entertainment Center. She was transferred to the Repair Division in 1996
to work as a locksmith. Ms. Li enjoyed an expanded mindset through Falun Gong
practice and was kind and considerate toward everyone. She was well liked among
her colleagues and neighbors. After her mother passed away, she invited her
grandmother to live with her so she could take care of her. Li Hui was pregnant during her first arrest on June 22, 2000. Officers from
the Fuqiang Police Station, the Saertu District Police Department participated
in the arrest. After her release, her superiors sent her immediately to a
brainwashing center at the company where she was forced to watch slanderous
videos that attacked Falun Gong. Though in an advanced stage of pregnancy, she
was forced to pull weeds in the sweltering heat. Because she refused to write a guarantee statement, the company
laid her off in early August 2000, put her on one-year probation and extorted
5,000 "yuan" from her, calling it a "fine." They also
extorted an additional 10,000 yuan "guarantee fee" from her family
that was later returned. The company did not let her work for two years and in
2002 eventually assigned her a housekeeper position for the vehicle division. Her husband filed for divorce in 2003. He could no longer endure the
tremendous financial and political pressure. Li Hui became the sole breadwinner
for her 80-year-old grandmother and young daughter. Ms. Li was at work when a group of officials barged into her office at 10:30
a.m. on April 25, 2007. The officials included the deputy police chief, local
officers Wang Song and Zhao Jingzhou, a plainclothes police officer, Security
Division head Cheng Jin, Security Division director Zhang Yuming, and Ta
Huailiang, Party secretary for the transportation team. They lied and told her
they were going to verify certain information about her and then started to pull
at her. Li Hui shouted and struggled. Wang Song and the plainclothes officer
twisted Li Hui's arms behind her, handcuffed her, and pushed her neck down so
she was bent at a 90-degree angle. They shoved her downstairs and kicked her
into the backseat of a black car. Wang Song and Zhao Jingzhou sat to her left
and right. The plainclothes officer took Li Hui's bag. After they took her to the Saertu District Police Department, a woman officer
body-searched her, including her shoes. Wang Song and Zhao Jingzhou took her to
the basement around noon. They dragged her into an interrogation room and bound
her to a metal chair. They handcuffed her and immobilized her feet. Four
officers took keys they found in her bag. They hired two people to accompany
them, and all went to ransack her home. The officials tried to trick Ms. Li's grandmother into opening the door by
saying they were checking residence permits. The old woman refused to comply.
They tried all of Li Hui's keys and still could not open the door. Wang Song went to the kindergarten that Li Hui's daughter, Cong Cong,
attended. He forced the teacher to take Cong Cong and tell Li Hui's grandmother
that they were going to get the residence permit for the little girl. The old
woman again refused. Furious, the police violently shook the burglar-proof door.
The old woman was so frightened she could not speak. The thunderous noise forced
the neighbors to come out and find out the cause. The police ignored them and continued to attempt to break the door down. The
old woman eventually opened up just as the burglarproof door was about to give
way. Five individuals immediately forced their way in and turned the home upside
down. The ransacking lasted four hours. The invaders took a computer worth 3,000
yuan, printer(s), VCDs, and 3,000 yuan cash. The police even put on a show and
asked the neighbors to act as witnesses, but refused to leave any receipt or
documentation for the things they took. Between 2:00 p.m. and 10 p.m. that same day, four officers tried to
"crack" Li Hui, who was bound in the metal chair, in an effort to
create evidence to justify the persecution. She refused to cooperate with the
interrogation and explained to them the facts about Falun Gong. At 6:30 p.m.,
the deputy police chief who directed the arrest and ransacking arrived and asked
her in a menacing tone, "Where is your DVD writer?" A short-statured
officer entered the room and looked at Li Hui with scorn and contempt. He cursed
the founder of Falun Gong for four minutes. Before he left he threatened,
"Just wait and watch how I'll fix you!" Li Hui was bound to the icy metal chair for 16 hours, between noon April 25
and 4:00 a.m. on April 26. She shivered at night, and her wrists were swollen
and sore. She managed to escape at 4:00 a.m. by jumping out of the restroom
window and went into exile to avoid arrest. After Li Hui broke free, the police held a stakeout outside her home and even
sent spies to live at her home for more than two months. They made her
80-year-old maternal grandmother leave. Li Hui's 65-year-old father had to take
care of his 84-year-old mother and had no energy for Li Hui's maternal
grandmother, who had to live with relatives in the countryside. The old woman
had a heart attack, and her body was swollen. Li Hui's daughter, Cong Cong, now
lives with her father who married another woman. She often cries and looks for
Li Hui. The police not only occupied Li Hui's home, they also repeatedly called her
father and relatives. They lied to him, saying Li Hui was a Falun Gong
"leader." Her father was frightened and worried about Li Hui. He lost
weight and was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He said to others,
"It's all over! Li Hui has lost her job, her family, everything!" He
dreaded the Communist Party after having lived through ruthless political
campaigns during the Cultural Revolution. Driven by desperation and fear, Li
Hui's father believed the police and led two sons to look for Li Hui. He hoped
that by turning Li Hui in to the police, the regime would give her "lighter
punishment," spare her life, and restore her job. After Li Hui's second
arrest, the police threatened to sentence her to prison, thus destroying the old
man's hopes and again plunging him into depression. Ms. Du Shuxia, 48, worked at the Saertu District Tax Bureau and lived in
Dongfengxin Village in Daqing City. She benefited profoundly from Falun Gong
practice and became a well-liked person among her relatives, colleagues, and
neighbors. When the Party began persecuting Falun Gong she was persecuted for
eight years because of her perseverance in her belief. She traveled to the Shuanghe Forced Labor Camp in Qiqihar City on December
16, 1999, to visit a fellow practitioner. She was detained for four months and
20 days at the Appeals Bureau. Ms. Du was arrested again on November 18, 2000,
when she visited a fellow practitioner's home. This time she was detained for
five-and-a-half months, including four months in police custody as a petitioner. At work, her superiors took her to the police department on May 21, 2001. She
was detained for one month and later sentenced to two years of forced labor. The
labor camp, however, refused to accept her because she developed symptoms of
critical illness. Her salary was suspended during the detention. After she
returned to work her superiors placed her under long-term surveillance. Her
seriously ill husband traveled to Beijing for surgery. Du Shuxia's workplace
immediately sent two people to Beijing, called Du Shuxia's husband, and asked
him about her whereabouts. After her husband died in 2003, her ex-husband won custody of their son
because she practiced Falun Gong. Du Shuxia has lived a lonely life ever since. Long-term detention and persecution traumatized Ms. Du. She experienced
frequent loss of consciousness as well as confusion and epilepsy. Sometimes she
would lapse into unconsciousness for long periods of time. She was diagnosed
with a difficult nerve disease that may kill her at any time. Although Falun
Gong has helped her numerous times in the past several years and pulled her out
of dangerous situations, her mental wound never healed, and her condition
worsened because the persecution continued. She had no choice but to take
long-term leave from work. She knew Falun Gong gave her a new life, so she often
told people about the wonders of Falun Dafa. After her arrest, her family explained her condition to the police and asked
for her release. The police said, "Go ahead and get a diagnosis, and we'll
let her go." When the family went to the hospital, however, the doctor said
only the police or procuratorate had the authority to access Du
Shuxia's medical records. The police refused to release her, refused to check
her records at the hospital, and continued to interrogate her. People responsible for these persecution incidents: Daqing City National Security Bureau Daqing Material Corporation, Petroleum Management Bureau Posting date: 10/15/2007
