Labor Mr. Zhong Mingwen and Ms. Tao Ying were clarifying the truth of Falun Gong
while they worked at the Xinjiang Railroad Construction site. They were reported
to the local authorities and arrested on March 25, 2007 by policemen from the
Jinghe County Police Department's National Security Team, Bole City. The police
confiscated a laptop computer, a printer, a broken inkjet printer, two pairs of
AC powered speakers, over 60 blank CD's, and numerous copies of "Nine
Commentaries on Communist Party" and "Minghui Weekly". The couple was detained in the Jinghe County Detention Center. They refused
to obey the police's orders or wear the inmate uniforms. Thus the detention
center director Yu Lujun beat them with a baton over 30 times. The next day they
refused to count off and were handcuffed and hung for 4 hours. Then the
following day they were hung for over 10 hours, during which time the policeman
Guan Ning kicked them violently. Although they obtained no confession on the interrogation record, the Bole
City's Forced Labor Committee still sentenced the couple to 2 years of forced
labor. They have been sent to the Changji Men's Forced Labor Camp of Xinjiang
and the East Gebi Women's Forced Labor Camp of Wu City, respectively. On August 22, 2007, the Changji Men's Forced Labor Camp authorities prolonged
Zhong Mingwen's term by 10 days for doing the Falun Gong exercises. The term of
another practitioner, Wang Chaodong, was prolonged 15 days for shouting "Falun
Dafa is good." The team in charge of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners: Qi, captain of the national security team of Jinghe County, took 2,000 yuan
from Zhong Mingwen's account and only returned 255 yuan. The police told Mr.
Zhong that the rest of the money would be credited to his account at the Changji
Men's Forced Labor Camp. However, over 7 months has passed and as of the end of
October 2007, none of the rest of the money has been credited to Mr. Zhong's
account. Policeman Yu Lujun: 86-909-5330547 2. 70-Year-Old Liu Zhongxiang Denied of Income Mr. Liu Zhongxiang, 70 years old, is an employee of the Transport Company of
