At about 6 p.m. on January 15, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wu Huazhen was
arrested by officers from the Daxiba 610 Office of the Jiangbei
Police Station. Several officers ransacked her home, confiscated a laptop
computer, a copier, some Falun Gong books, and lots of truth
clarifying literature. Arrested at the same time was Zhao Chengyun, a
practitioner who worked in an adjacent factory. Zhao was released on February 9,
but Ms. Wu was still detained at the Jiangbei District detention center. The
police produced a warrant on February 13 to "justify" her arrest.
Ms. Wu was also arrested at the Chongqing railway station while traveling to
Beijing to clarify the truth in September 1999. She was put in a brainwashing
center for a month. In June 2000, she again went to Beijing to clarify the truth
and was arrested and sent to the Jiangbei Detention Center, sentenced to 12
months of forced labor. Since her release in June 2001, she has fully devoted
her time to practicing Falun Gong and doing the three things that
practitioners should do.
On the evening of February 9 several officers from the Dashiba 610 Office of the
Jiangbei District Police Station broke into the home of Mr. Zhu Zhilin and Xiang
Shihua. They ransacked the house, confiscated all the Falun Gong books, all of
the copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party
and lots of truth clarifying literature. Both Zhu and Xiang were arrested along
with two other practitioners in the house. They are now imprisoned in the
Jiangbei Detention Center. That same evening, the same officers forced
themselves into the home of two other practitioners, Mr. Feng Jun and his wife,
Ms. Tang Xiaoyi. Their photography shop was also ransacked. Their home is
currently under surveillance by a few plainclothes police.
Zhu Zhilin was arrested and detained for about 20 days when he went to
Beijing to clarify the truth in September 1999. During the early months of 2001,
Xiang Shihua, Mr. Feng and his wife, Ms. Tang, were also arrested for
distributing truth clarifying literature. They were detained in the Banan
Detention Center for over six months and Xiang Shihua's legs were severely
injured from torture. They were later sentenced to three years of forced labor
and ultimately released in 2004. In June 2006, Feng Jun again went to Beijing to
clarify the truth. He was arrested and sent to the Jiangbei Detention Center
where he was imprisoned for over 30 days and then sent to a brainwashing center
for another month. Xiang Shihua was also sent to a brainwashing for a month in
July 2000.
Ms. Huang Zehan is a Falun Gong practitioner in her 60's. She is a retired
teacher from Nanan No.11 High School. While taking an early morning stroll on
February 1 she was arrested by a few police officers. She demanded to know why
she was arrested. Seeing that some bystanders were watching, one officer said
that it was because she was taking illegal drugs. Ms. Huang immediately denied
this, saying, "I don't take drugs, I am a Falun Gong practitioner."
She then proceeded to say how good Falun Gong is. The officers were afraid that
Ms. Huang would start to clarify the truth to the bystanders and quickly gagged
her, put a bag over her head, and dragged her into a van. She was then taken to
the Yuzhongqu Detention Center in Liziba County.
On February 6, Ms. Huang was sentenced to two years of forced labor and sent
to Chongqing Women's Forced Labor Camp. She refused to submit to the illegal
detention and escaped from the camp on February 16 with strong righteous
thoughts.
