Tianjin University of Commerce Officials Deprive a Student of His Right to Schooling
(Clearwisdom.net) Feng Kun, a student at Tianjin University of Commerce,
was arrested on October 27, 2007 because someone reported him for
clarifying the truth about Falun Gong in the Shanggulin area in
Dagang District. He was released on November 2 with outside help and returned to
school on November 4. However, Freshmen Division Party Secretary Zhao Shuai in
the Department of Logistics Management, Yang from the university office, and
personnel from the university 610 Office have consistently rejected
him. Feng Kun attended classes despite the difficulties and explained the facts
to the university authorities. Nevertheless, the authorities still revoked his
registration. (For details of the persecution please see http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2007/12/11/92034.html) On November 21, 2007, the university authorities sent three officers,
including Zhao Shuai and Yang, to Feng Kun's mother's place of employment at the
Tianjin Petrochemical Company to deliver a notice calling for Mr. Feng's parents to
attend a meeting at the university at 9:00 a.m. on November 23 regarding the
revocation of Feng Kun's registration. The next day the authorities changed
their minds and told his mother not to come, but to wait for them in Dagang
instead. On the morning of November 23, 2007, when Feng Kun's class let out, the class
teaching assistant, Qin, called Feng Kun into his office and told him not to
leave. At 1:00 p.m., more than ten people including Zhao Shuai, Yang, Pang
Wensheng, and two armed plainclothes police put Mr. Feng in a vehicle without
any explanation and headed straight to Feng Kun's home in Dagang. Prior to that, the university authorities had informed Feng Kun's mother not
to go to work in the afternoon but to wait for the officers from the university.
The message was delivered via Li Yaokai, Party Office head of the Sales
Department in the Tianjin Petrochemicals Company. Feng Kun's mother did not
comply with their request, went to work anyway, and refused to meet with
university officials. The group of people waited outside Feng Kun's home in an
attempt to intercept his mother but were unsuccessful. Finally they went to the
Silihua neighborhood committee office and announced that they had delivered a
"Statement of the Decision to Revoke a Student's Registration at Tianjin
University of Commerce." The statement claimed that Feng Kun's registration
was revoked according to the university's official decision, but the details of
that decision were not read to Feng Kun, nor shown to him. After reading the
statement, they added a notice at the end, saying that the "Decision"
was read to Feng Kun. Pang Wensheng urged Mr. Feng to sign it, but he refused.
In the end they left him at the door of his home and drove away. November 26, 2007 Posting date: 12/18/2007 |
