Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners from the Dashiba Region of Jiangbei District, Chongqing City
(Clearwisdom.net) A total of six Falun Dafa practitioners from the
Dashiba Region in Jiangbei District of Chongqing City were arrested on January
15, February 9, and May 16, 2007. Practitioners Mr. Zhu Zhilin and Mr. Zhao have
been released, but practitioner Ms. Wu Huazhen is still being held. The
following are accounts of the persecution of practitioners at the hands of the
Jiangbei District Police Department, Dashiba Police Station and Chang'an Factory
Police Department. 1. Mr. Yuan Qingsheng, 50 years old, 162nd Shop, 1st
Plant, Chang'an Factory Mr. Yuan Qingsheng went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in 1999. He was
arrested and taken to Chongqing, where he was imprisoned at the Jiangbei
District Detention Center for one month and then the Brainwashing Center for one
month. He was again taken to Huayun Mountain Brainwashing Center in July 2000.
The Chang'an Factory Police Department gathered information about him, then
sentenced him to two years of forced labor. He was locked in solitary
confinement and a water dungeon with dead snakes and poisonous bugs at
Xishanping Forced Labor Camp (more details about this torture method can be
found at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2004/7/5/49890p.html).
He was beaten frequently and a poisonous sting caused a growth at the back his
ear. It grew back after it was cut off. The forced labor camp released him on
medical leave in 2002, because the officials were afraid he would die at the
camp. He was monitored frequently at home by the residential committee. Mr. Yuan
lost his income and his wife was laid off (later changed to retirement) due to
the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) implication policy. Mr. Yuan was reported
to the police for giving his coworkers truth-clarification CDs in
2003. He left home and went into hiding to avoid persecution. He was arrested in
2004 by the Fuling District Police Department in Chongqing City and sentenced to
seven years in prison. At Dianjiang Prison, he was ordered to give up his
belief, but he refused. He showed visiting relatives the scars on his hands and
told them he was constantly hungry. His relatives brought cookies, but he was
only able to eat a few before the wardens took them. The wardens said he would
only get a couple bites of food at meals, unless he "transformed." Now
Mr. Yuan is suffering severe torture and his life is in jeopardy. Mr. Yuan was a
gambler in the past. He stopped gambling and became very responsible to his work
and family after learning Falun Gong. A good person is being tortured like this. 2. Mr. Xiang Shihua, over 50, 162nd Shop, 1st Plant,
Chang'an Factory Mr. Xiang Shihua was rude to others, drank a lot and had lung disease. He did
not give up his bad habits even when his wife divorced him. After practicing
Falun Gong, he stopped drinking and his lung disease was gone, too. He became a
completely different and good person. In 1999, Mr. Xiang was placed in Huayun
Mountain Brainwashing Center for a month by the Chang'an Factory police. In
2001, he spent half a year in Banan District Detention Center for distributing
truth-clarification materials. The torture there left his legs disabled. He was
then sentenced to four years in prison, but Yongchuan Prison refused to accept
him, because he is disabled and can't work. He was sent home on medical leave.
Mr. Xiang continued to practice Falun Gong and his legs healed. On the night of
February 9, 2007, policeman Li Xianyong and others from Jiangbei District Police
Department, Jiangbei District 610 Office and Dashiba Police Station
broke into Mr. Xiang's home and ransacked the place. He was illegally
arrested and sentenced to one year of forced labor. He had difficulty
walking and his legs were very swollen when his family visited him at Xishanping
Forced Labor Camp. 3. Ms. Luo Peiping, 50 years old, 1st Plant, Chang'an Factory In 2000, Ms. Luo Peiping was imprisoned at the Jiangbei District Detention
Center for one month and the Brainwashing Center for one month for going to
Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. In 2001, she was sentenced to ten years in
prison for distributing truth-clarification materials. She is currently held in
the Yongchuan Women's Prison in Chongqing City, where she is forced to do labor
intensive work for more than fifteen hours each day. She has been tortured
mentally, abused physically and monitored around the clock. Now her husband is
being tortured, too. 4. Mr. Xiang Dong, 24 years old, is Barely Surviving As a child, Mr. Xiang Dong witnessed the benefits that his parents obtained
from Dafa. He understood that Falun Dafa is good when he was very young. In
2000, at the age of 17, with a pure heart, he told others that "Falun Dafa
is the Righteous Fa." However, the CCP held this innocent boy in the Banan
Detention Center for half a year. The torture left his legs disabled and he
could not care for himself. Still, he was sentenced to four years in prison.
Yongchuan Prison refused to accept him so he went home on medical leave. The
police arrested his father in 2007 and are searching for him. He left home and
went into hiding. 5. Ms. Wu Huazhen, 55, Retiree from the 1st Plant, Chang'an
Factory Ms. Wu Huazhen suffered from many illnesses all her life but became very
healthy after practicing Falun Gong. She went to appeal for Falun Gong in

for a month. She went to Beijing again in June 2000 and was severely beaten by
the Chongqing City Liaison Office police. She was imprisoned at the Jiangbei
District Detention Center for over 30 days and sentenced to one year of forced
labor by the Chang'an Factory Police Department. She was frequently harassed at
home after her release. On the evening of January 5, 2007, officer Li Xianyong
from the Jiangbei District Police Department, officer Deng Hongying from the
Dashiba Police Station, director Han Leling and Party secretary Zhou Xiaoqiu of
the Residential Committee, and three or four other people broke into her home.
They ransacked it and took her computer and Dafa books. Ms. Wu, her husband and
another visiting practitioner were taken to the Dashiba Police Station. Her
husband was released after interrogation. Ms. Wu is currently imprisoned at the
Jiangbei District Detention Center. Her mother died in pain and desperation.
However, the police did not allow Ms. Wu to attend her mother's funeral. Ms. Wu
has developed symptoms of high blood pressure and asthma at the detention

implication policy. In 2002, Ms. Yu was sentenced to two years of forced labor
by the Yubei District Police Department in Chongqing City. She was locked in

hours each day. The torture caused her fingers to become disfigured. She was
forced to go to brainwashing classes and was psychologically tortured. Female
guards Dai Wenjuan, He, and Wang Jin were directly involved in torturing her.
After she returned home, she was monitored by Cui Zerong for a long time. On
