Ms. Ma Youjuan Is Illegally Detained, Her Non-Practitioner Father Sent to a Forced Labor Camp
By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Weifang City, Shandong Province (Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Ma Yiqing, 60 years old, is a farmer from Kong
village, Qixian Town, Linqu County, Weifang City, Shandong Province. He does not
practice Falun Gong but he is an honest and kind person. Ma Yiqing's 30-year-old daughter, Ma Youjuan, is a hairdresser. Her husband,
Yu Kejun, is a farmer in Changle County. Both of them practice Falun Gong and
before the persecution they had a harmonious life together. However, after Jiang
Zemin and the evil CCP (Chinese Communist Party) began to persecute Falun Gong
on July 20, 1999, they were detained several times because they did not want to
give up their practice of "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance". In July of
1999, Yu Kejun was detained for about one month by the local police station and
detention center because he went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. In
November of the same year, after Ma Youjuan had a baby, Yu Kejun was detained
for over ten days. In October 2000, Yu Kejun was detained again for over ten
days and was fined one thousand yuan. In the meantime, the township
government illegally withheld the certificate for their house (they still
haven't return it). In January 2001, Yu Kejun was sent to the Brainwashing Class
in the Changle County Forced Labor Camp and was persecuted there for about one
month. In August of 2002, the township police station went to Yu's home and
tried to take Yu Kejun and Ma Youjuan away. Since then, they were forced to
become homeless to avoid persecution. On October 15, 2006, after being homeless for over four years, Ma Youjuan and
Yu Kejun were arrested by the Hanting National Security Brigade and Hanting West
City Police under the order of the Weifang City National Security Brigade. They
illegally ransacked their home and took away their Dafa books and other valuable
items. The police even took the items from the drawers in Ma Youjuan's hair
salon. They also took away their home key. In the evening of the same day, their
eight-year-old daughter was also taken to the West City Police Station and
detained there. The following day, Ma Youjuan's father, Ma Yiqing, took the
child home. The couple were both detained. One month later, Yu Kejun was sent to
a forced labor camp for a year, while Ma Youjuan has been detained at the
Weifang City Detention Center to this day. Since Ma Youjuan was arrested, Ma Yiqing went to the Weifang City Police
Station and Hanting Branch Police Station several times. Each time, the police
either did not allow him to visit or rejected his request. Ma Yiqing asked some
people to help to look for his daughter and was extorted over 260,000 yuan in
total. However his daughter is still detained. On April 5, 2007, after 9 o'clock in the morning, Ma Yiqing and his
son-in-law Yu Kejun went to the office of the National Security Brigade in the
Weifang City Police Station and asked them to release Ma Youjuan, and return
their property. Right after they entered the office (there were three police in
the office), even before they began to talk, one of the police berated them
loudly, "Did you register your names in the hallway?" Yu Kejun said,
"Yes. We did." Another policeman shouted at them, "Who asked you
to come in? Get out!" At that time, a short policeman slammed his hand on
the desk and shouted, "Get out!" Ma Yiqing thought about his daughter who was detained without any reason only
because she wanted to be a good person. He had heard that the Procurator had
rejected the materials sent by the police about Ma Youjuan because they did not
have enough evidence. However, the police still wanted to fabricate something to
send his daughter to prison with. Now the police were so rude to them, he could
not calm down. He also slammed his hand on the desk twice and said, "I
haven't gotten a chance to say anything yet. Why are you kicking us out? This is
the office of the police station. It is not your home." Then, he sat down
on a nearby chair. The short policeman was mad and shouted "This is a chair
in the office of the police station! You cannot sit on it! Get out!" Then,
he dragged the chair out from under the old man's body. At that time, police
officer Ding Jinguang and a tall policeman walked over and surrounded both of
them and pushed them outside. Ma Yiqing would not leave. Ding Jinguang and two
other police pushed him to the floor. Two people dragged his feet and one person
grabbed his hand and dragged him outside. While struggling, Ma Yiqing grabbed
the tall policeman's sweater. The tall policeman was mad and strongly slapped
the old man's face. When they dragged him to the door, he grasped the door
frame. One of the police strongly shut the door , intending to smash his hands.
Yu Kejun saw this and blocked the door with his foot. Thus Ma Yiqing's hands
were not crushed. Ma Yiqing shouted, "The police are beating people
up!" The three police officers dragged him into the hallway. Ding Jinguang
pressed down on Ma Yiqing's chest with his knee. Another policeman held down his
hands. They stopped when the old man could not move. The police shut the office door. They made a phone call near the elevator and
asked Ge Kuanwen (the supervisor) and other police from the Dongming Police
Station to come. They forcibly put the handcuffs on Ma Yiqing and the police
took them to the office of the National Security Brigade and forced them to
squat. The police beat up Yu Kejun by pulling his hair and beating his head.
Then the police drove them to the Dongming Police Station and locked them in two
separate rooms and handcuffed their hands on the heating pipes. Ge Kuanwen and
other police interrogated them separately. Finally, they tricked Ma Yiqing, who
could not see clearly, into signing his name on the fabricated and distorted
notes. On the same day, around 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Kejun was
released. However, Ma Yiqing was sent to a detention center and detained for
seven days. During the morning of April 11, Ge Kuanwen from the Dongming Police Station
called Yu Kejun and asked him to come to the police station and once again
interrogated him. Around 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the police presented a
fabricated note (he removed the paragraph about beating up Ma Yiqing and pushing
him to the floor). They threatened to send him to a forced labor camp and forced
Yu Kejun to sign his name. On the afternoon of April 12, Yu Kejun and his 2nd
elder brother went to the detention center to pick up Ma Yiqing. The detention
center told them that he had been taken away by the Dongming Police. They then
rushed to the Dongming Police Station. There, they were told that Ma Yiqing had
been sent to the Changle Forced Labor Camp for a one year term. On April 13, Yu Kejun's 2nd elder brother went to the Changle
Forced Labor Camp to visit Ma Yiqing. Even the police in the forced labor camp
felt that it was senseless and said they had never heard of a person being sent
to a forced labor camp because of that. Yu Kejun's daughter, who is eight years old now, has to live with her
grandfather (on her mother's side) (Her grandparents on her father's side are
too old to take care of her. Her grandmother on her mother's side had to take
care of a three-year old granddaughter.) Now, her grandfather on her mother's
side has been sent to a forced labor camp. Her father goes out to work daily at
a construction job. He has to leave home early in the morning and comes back
home very late at night and his working hours are very long. With no other
options, this little girl, who is only a first grade elementary student, has to
take care of herself. She carries a key to her home and during lunch time, she
comes home and prepares instant noodles to eat. We appeal to all people in the world to help put a stop to the behavior of
the Weifang local authorities. April 25, 2007 |
