Why Has Mr. Ruan Fanghua's Happy Family Been Torn Apart?
By a Falun Dafa practitioner from China
(Clearwisdom.net) On October 7, 2007, Mr. Ruan Fanghua from Dongtundu,
the Furong District, Changsha City, was reported while "clarifying the
facts" to the local residents. He was then arrested by the police from the
Longping High Tech District in Changsha City. He was sentenced to one and a half
years of forced labor. Recently he has been transferred from the Chansha City
No. 1 Detention Center to the city's Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp. Mr. Ruan Fanghua, 56 years old, was an employee of Yuanjiang City Paper Mill
and had been a director of a workshop. He had a happy family and a loving wife.
He is close with is daughter and son-in-law and he has a lovely granddaughter. Simply for practicing Falun Gong and exposing the CCP's persecution, Mr. Ruan
has suffered a great deal of abuse. On May 15, 2005, he was sentenced to forced
labor for the first time for clarifying the facts to the local residents and was
taken to Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp, Changsha City. During his detention there
he suffered all kinds of torture, both physical and mental. The first torture
for practitioners on their arrival at the forced labor camp is sleep
deprivation. They are not allowed to sleep for many days and nights. Then those
in charge take advantage of practitioners' foggy mental state as a result of
sleep deprivation and pressure them to write the Guarantee Statement
declaring that they will no longer practice Falun Gong. This inhuman torture
still going on in the forced labor camps. According to Chinese law, the police department must inform the detainee's
family of the reason for detention and the location of the detainee within 24
hours. However, after Mr. Ruan was illegally detained, besides an
anonymous call by the Longping High Tech Park Police Station to confirm Mr.
Ruan's name (Mr. Ruan refused to tell them his name and did not cooperate with
their questioning to protest the illegal persecution.), no one informed his
family of his detention or where he was detained. On October 12, 2007, when Mr.
Ruan's family went to the police station to inquire about him, they learned that
the case officer, Tang Liyang, was not in so they called his cellphone. They
made three calls. On the first call he said, "You have the wrong
number." He did not answer the second call. Mr. Ruan's family members
called him on a different phone the third time, but Tang Liyang hung up the
phone as soon as he learned their identity. The police case officer had already prepared the materials accusing Mr. Ruan
and sent it to the legal office of the Furong District Police Sub-department.
However, on the morning of October 12, when Mr. Ruan's family members went to
the legal office of the Furong District Police Sub-department to inquire about
it, the officer denied that they had received it. (It was learned later that the
material had, in fact, been delivered to the Furong Police Sub-department. On
the morning of the 12th, when Mr. Ruan's family arrived at the police
department, it had already been delivered to the Forced Labor Approval Office of
Changsha City Police Department.) When Mr. Ruan's family went to talk to police officers at the three
levels--namely the police station, police sub-department, and police
department--to find more information on the case, the police officers all
repeated the same slanderous lies about Falun Gong. They even asked Mr. Ruan's
family members, "Why don't you persuade Ruan Fanghua to renounce Falun
Gong?" During their sleepless waiting, what Mr. Ruan's family finally got was the
news that Mr. Ruan had been sentenced to forced labor again. Longping High Tech Park Police Station: Huang Guang, Head of the Police Station: 86-731-4628209 |
