Mr. Gong Chengge and Other Practitioners in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang Province Still Being Detained
(Clearwisdom.net) During the new wave of persecution led by Zhao Jincheng,
director of the Mudanjiang Police Department, in Helongjiang Province on
December 12, 2006, many Falun Gong practitioners were arrested. Although most of
them were released after large amounts of money were extorted from them, Mr.
Gong Chengge, Mr. Zhu Xiucheng, and Ms. Hao Rong are still being detained. Mr. Gong Chengge was illegally arrested by the police from the
Mudanjiang City National Security Group and Yangming Police Sub-Bureau. He was
working in the Mudangjiang City No. 2 Middle School. After money was extorted
from them, his family went to the police department to ask for his release, but
got no response. Mr. Zhu Xiucheng was an employee at Mudanjiang Normal College. In April 2000,
all three members of his family went to Beijing to validate Falun Dafa and were
taken back to Mudanjiang City. Subsequently, Mr. Zhu was sentenced to one year
of forced labor, and his wife and 18-year-old daughter were detained for several
months, then were released on large amounts of bail. In April 2002, his family
was searched by the police, and Mr. Zhu Xiucheng was sentenced for another three
years of forced labor. His wife, Wang Shu'e, was also sentenced to three years
of forced labor, which was later suspended due to health problems uncovered in
the physical examination. However, she was arrested again on December 22, 2003. Ms. Hao Rong was a retired employee of the kindergarten section of Mudanjiang
City's Hengfeng Paper Co. She suffered from cancer previously and recovered
after beginning Falun Gong practice. In late 2003, she was arrested for her
adherence to Falun Gong and was sentenced to three years of imprisonment. She
served the term in Ha'er'bin City's Women's Jail, where she was forced to
participate in "drills" and slave labor. Her severe persecution there
resulted in the relapse of her cancer, and she could not look after herself. She
was released on medical grounds since she was on the verge of death. In December
2006, she was again arrested without proper cause. Mudanjiang City Police Department: 86-453-6924236, 86-453-6930185 February 2, 2007 |
