Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wang Xiadong was carrying water for his mother in the morning of March 11, 2006, when agents from the Huadian City National Security Group, in conjunction with three other policemen, arrested him. The persecutors arrived in a white car. They beat Wang Xiadong, and then pulled him into the vehicle and took him away.

Mr. Wang was detained first in a closed metal room at Huadian City Police Department's National Security Group (since 2001, this metal room has been used especially for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners). Almost all Falun Gong practitioners previously arrested in Huadian had suffered there.

The police also went to Wang Xiaodong's home and ransacked it. They threw Wang Xiaodong's things everywhere and asked Wang Xiaodong's mother, "Where did you hide the stuff?" Wang Xiaodong's mother replied, "What are you talking about?" The police found nothing, so they took her with them. The police asked Wang Xiaodong's neighbor to sign a witness paper.

Though they took Wang Xiaodong's mother, she did not provide them with any useful information, so they had to release her.

The next day, four policemen went to Wang Xiaodong's home once again. Because his mother was not at home, they kicked in a window and broke into the house. Again, they found nothing. Muddy footprints were left on the bed and in the room.

Later that evening, the police once again knocked on the door of Wang Xiaodong's home. After they got in, they shouted at his mother, "Where is that old tape recorder?" The mother questioned them, "Every family has old tape recorders. Do you want to use it to harm my son?" The wicked police threatened, "In spite of you being in your 60s, we can still make you disappear!"

While all of this was happening to his mother at home, back at the police station the persecutors were torturing Wang Xiaodong in hopes of extracting a confession.

The police tied up Wang Xiaodong upside down onto a metal chair for 24 hours. His arms were handcuffed behind his back. He was forced to wear a rubber-lined metal helmet that was buckled onto his head. The helmet was a torture device. The torturers hit the helmet with a stick. According to the police, "This kind of excruciating treatment can shake the eyeballs out." Wang Xiaodong, in spite of this excruciating pain, asked the police officer, "Who are you?" The police officer surnamed Guan answered, "I am a hatchet man." Wang Xiaodong remained unmoved and kept on telling them the facts about Falun Gong. Seeing that they could not achieve their goal, the torturers forced some oil down his throat and hung him up. To avoid leaving scars, one torturer wrapped his hand with flax. Later, Wang Xiaodong was transferred to the Huadian City Detention Center. After the excruciating torture, Wang Xiaodong was unable to freely move his shoulder and elbow.

Wang Xiaodong kept conducting a hunger strike at the detention center to protest the persecution. The police brutally force-fed him. Now, Wang Xiaodong's life is in danger.

Huadian City Detention Center agents continuously persecuted Falun Gong practitioners who went on hunger strikes. The persecution team was led primarily by prison doctor Li (male, over 50 years old), deputy head Liu, and nurses in the Huadian City Steel and Iron Hospital.

After Wang Xiaodong's arrest, his mother appealed many times to the Huadian City Police Department. At first, Yu Jinji refused to see Wang Xiaodong's mother. They told her to go away. One day Wang Xiaodong's mother finally saw Yu Jinji and had the chance to ask him to release her son.

Yu Jinji said, "What I say does not count." Wang's mother replied, "You arrested my son; how come what you say does not count?"

Yu Jinji tried to have her thrown out. She said, "I will not go until you release my son. Xiaodong and I depend on each other for a living. You have already tortured my other son and sentenced him to prison for 12 years. Now you came to torture this son!"

When someone was around, Yu Jinji pretended to be concerned and said, "Then I will give you the basic insurance." Wang Xiaodong's mother said, "Don't talk about insurance. No matter how much money you give, it cannot be exchanged for my son."

When nobody was around, Yu Jinji became vicious. He said, "Go away immediately! Don't you know what's good for you? Were it not for you being a senior citizen, you would not be permitted go back either." Wang Xiaodong's mother said, "Then you can sentence me, too. I don't have anyone to take care of me anyway."

Later on, Wang Xiaodong's mother went to Huadian City Police Department to ask for her son back again. Yu Jinji scoffed at her, "Bring me 10 million yuan and I will release your son!" He added by saying, "The only solution is to make your son criticize Falun Gong." Wang Xiaodong's mother asked Yu Jinji, "How could you use excruciating methods to torture my son?" Yu Jinji said, "What excruciating methods?"

610 Office head Zhou Jian and others insulted Wang Xiaodong's mother. Wang Xiaodong's mother filed a lawsuit against the police department with the procurator, who dodged it among themselves and then handed the lawsuit to the 610 Office. 610 Office agents then started tailing Wang Xiaodong's mother. To avoid further persecution, she decided to leave her home. Every bureau that executed the law in Huadian colluded with each other. They did not try to solve the problem, but used surveillance to monitor her. They threatened her and traced information and people to find out who helped her write the lawsuit, who went online for her, who she contacted, etc.

Wang Xiaodong's mother now has no way to appeal. The police would arrive within five minutes if she consulted an attorney.

Yu Jinji is the former Huadian Police Station local officer. When the CCP escalated the persecution of Falun Gong in 2001, Yu Jinji was transferred to the police station's National Security Team as its leader. Almost all of the Falun Gong practitioners in Huadian have suffered miserable persecution under his orders.

At around 5:00 a.m. on April 30, 2006, the head of the Changyi Sub-bureau of the Jilin City Police Department, along with 40 to 50 officers including five or six policewomen, arrived in 13 vehicles at Mr. Wang Jianguo's home in the Fourth Group, Hongyuan Village, Hongyuan Economic Development Zone, Changyi District, Jilin City. One of the vehicles was equipped to load cargo. The large contingent of police completely blocked the road in front of Mr. Wang's house and rushed into his courtyard while his family members were away. In just a few minutes they had ripped out a funeral canopy and plundered everything around it, leaving only Mr. Wang's portrait. They said that the funeral awning was "a bad influence."

The funeral pavilion in Mr. Wang's courtyard

The courtyard was empty after the police dismantled the funeral canopy.

Before this incident, at around 7 or 8 p.m. on April 29, two plainclothes police officers from the Jilin City Police Department had gone to the home of Wang Jianguo's uncle and threatened the family, saying, "You'd better not get involved in this matter [referring to Wang Jianguo's death], as it does not have anything to do with you. His parents need to come forward to get things straightened out." Mr. Wang 's relatives and friends were also threatened and intimidated to varying degrees by police and relevant departments. Those who work in factories or coalmines were harassed by their workplace security departments; those who work in government departments were talked to by their directors; even restaurant chefs were intimidated by the police. No matter where Wang Jianguo's relatives and friends worked, there were people out there to threaten them not to get involved in his death. Most of Mr. Wang's relatives' cell phones were also monitored. It's clear that the police department is afraid that the family may appeal as well as continue to expose the police's crimes to the public, so they are making a concerted effort to prevent the family members from getting involved. Earlier on, some unidentified people claimed to be reporters requesting to interview the family, when in fact they were trying to get information about the family's thoughts and plans on this matter.

On the morning of April 30, 2006, Mr. Wang's aunt went to the reception room of the Jilin City Police Department. The officer in the reception room called the department and two policemen came down to take her to the chief's office. Two days before, on April 28, Chief Lin Guorui had arranged for 18 people from the police and judicial departments to have a "briefing on Wang Jianguo's self-inflicted death" in the Jilin City Jail and sent an unreasonable request to Mr. Wang's family members, notifying them that they needed to remove the funeral awning and have the corpse cremated right away. Since the family did not want to accept these unreasonable demands, they raised several questions to chief Lin when they saw him on April 30. They asked, "You work for the government. Why didn't you reveal your true identity? What do you actually do? We have a right to know." "You said you did not have any responsibility for Mr. Wang's death. We want you to write down what you said so that we can use it in our appeal." "Who do you represent? Is it the Party or the government? Did the Party and the government tell you not to allow the common people to appeal and redress an injustice?" "Why do you say you will cremate the body against our will if we do not comply? Our family members think you are trying to destroy the corpse so as to erase any evidence against you." Faced with these questions, Lin Guorui did not have anything to say.

The family also asked, "With regard to your stealing the funeral awning this morning, aren't your people behaving like bandits? Forty to fifty people robbed things in broad daylight. The canvas used in the funeral awning was new. Where did you take these materials?" Lin said, "Your funeral canopy was set up on the road." The family said, "No, we set it up inside our courtyard. How can you say it was on the road?" Lin also said, "This matter has such a bad impact. Now everyone knows about it. Even people overseas know about it."

The family members said, "If you're afraid of the public knowing about this matter, then you should not have killed Wang Jianguo. Why did you not protect him? You could at least give us a reasonable explanation of his death. You casually threaten and intimidate us. You also registered the identities of those who came to mourn Mr. Wang. You even attempted to arrest his parents, telling the villagers that they would get a cash reward if they reported the couple to you." Lin said, "We did no such thing." The family members said, "The villagers told us about the cash reward. If you do not believe us, you can ask them."

Facing the questions the family raised, Lin didn't give direct answers. When the family members left, two policemen followed them closely and escorted them to the front door.

At 9 a.m. on April 30, 2006, four of Mr. Wang's family members went to the Jilin municipal government. Mr. Wang's 81-year-old grandmother held Mr. Wang's portrait and entered Jilin municipal government building to seek justice for her grandson who was persecuted to death. However, the receptionist asked them to go to the People's Congress to appeal. When the family members arrived at the Appeal's Office of the People's Congress, they were told to go to the Jilin City Police Department to appeal. On their way to the various offices, Mr. Wang's grandmother cried as she walked and told passersby about the injustice done to her grandson. At 10:12 a.m. they entered the Jilin City Police Department. In a short while, all of them came out. Obviously the police department was also trying to shirk its responsibility.

Mr. Wang's grandmother held his portrait

Mr. Wang's grandmother held his portrait and stood in front of the Jilin City Police Department and cried. The passersby slowly gathered around her. The elderly lady cried and said, "My grandson died unjustly. He and his wife ran a restaurant and lived a very happy life. Just because he practiced Falun Gong and did good deeds, he was killed in the jail in only 40 days. There is no way for me to complain to the higher authorities!"

After the passersby heard this, they were all very indignant and also sympathized with her very much. A woman said, "Bring a lawsuit against them. Appeal to the higher authority. You can even go to Beijing to appeal." Mr. Wang's grandmother said, "Although China is huge, where can I find an honest official?" One gentleman said indignantly, "Where is justice? Just because he practiced Falun Gong, he was beaten to death. Moreover there's no explanation for his death. The corpse wasn't even returned to the family. This society is too sinister." An elderly gentleman said, "Now there is no place to reason things out." There were dozens of people around discussing this issue.

The daughter of my fellow practitioner is a student in junior high school in grade two. She is excellent in both study and morality. Originally she had a happy family. However, one year her mother got a serious disease, and the high cost of medical treatment brought huge hardships to her family. While feeling helpless at the time, they heard the good news of Falun Gong spreading. Her mother practiced Falun Gong and her body recovered miraculously. Thus the family was grateful and firm in their belief in Falun Gong.

However, in 1999 the head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Jiang Zemin launched the insane persecution of Falun Gong, and her mother was sent to the Jiangshuiquan Women's Labor Camp in Jinan for three years of forced labor, and was fined 10,000 yuan. Her father lost his job, so the family had no source of income. Her mother was persecuted in the labor camp because she persisted in her righteous belief. Police instigated thugs to spread rumors to her father, saying that her mother had improper relationships with other men in the labor camp, which made her father beat and abuse her mother every time they met in the labor camp.

After leaving the labor camp, her mother was dismissed by her work unit and was driven out of the home by her father. But her mother still clarified the truth and exposed the evil.

The evil CCP did not leave the girl alone the past few years. A teacher in the high school forced her to join the Communist Youth League. Last year the school put great pressure on her about joining the Youth League. They attacked her in turn, but the girl and her mother resisted firmly, so they failed. At the beginning of this year, the teacher attempted to force her again, claiming that the authorities have "approved her application," forcing her to copy the "application letter." She refused, and the teacher forbade her from going home. The coercion made her almost want to quit school. She told her parents, "I cannot take it any longer. I do not want to go to school anymore."

For a period of time, the school stopped the pressure. The girl and her parents thought that she had escaped from this hardship. However in early April the class held a meeting, and the teacher said they would have a vote for her joining the Youth League. The result was that the whole class voted for her joining the Youth League. The girl told this bad news to her mom, asking her mom to help her to quit the evil organization again.

Below is her announcement of quitting the Youth League

Solemn Declaration

I was abducted by the evil CCP and forced to join the Communist Youth League. I firmly refuse to recognize this illegal abduction. I solemnly hereby quit this evil organization.

Hunan Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Zhang Peng was illegally sentenced to ten years in jail because he clarified the truth about Falun Gong. From 2002 to 2004 he was detained at the Chishan Jail in Yuanjiang City, Hunan Province, and suffered torture. In late 2004, Hunan 610 Office personnel thought Zhang Peng attempted to escape with practitioner Mr. Jia Zhefa, so they moved Zhang Peng to the Yuanjiang Police Detention Center, and tortured him at length, until they coerced a confession from him.

In 2005 Zhang Peng was transferred to Section 5 of the Wuling Jail. He was forced to perform hard labor for more than ten hours each day, seven days a week, without holidays and without pay. Zhang Peng is a university teacher. After years of persecution in jail he became very weak.

On the morning of April 14, 2006, personnel from the Lingfeng Community Center deceived practitioner Sun Li from Chaoyang City into going to the center with the ruse of processing an I.D. for Sun Li's daughter. Seven or eight policemen from the Chaoyang City National Security Group and from the Beita Police Legal Case Team then arrested her.

Chiefly responsible person is Bao Kun from the "610 Office." People from other "610 Offices" in community offices and some collaborators also took part in these brainwashing classes. Those from community offices are only responsible for monitoring practitioners, while those from "610 Offices" and collaborators are responsible for brainwashing practitioners with their twisted logic and slanderous CCP-made videos.

According to a local media report, "610 Office" agent Bao Kun's mother used to practice Falun Gong. So Bao Kun first persecuted his mother and forced her to give up Falun Gong. Bao Kun has done everything he can to persecute practitioners for the past few years for the sake of promotions. According to his own estimates, he personally made 150 practitioners give up Falun Gong. Nevertheless, he did not completely trust those who broke away from Falun Gong. That is why he paid each of the collaborators 30 to 40 yuan every day as bonus, to ensure that the collaborators work for the persecutors, to keep the classes running. In addition, the brainwashing classes could keep the collaborators from returning to Falun Gong.

Bao Kun and others in the class are scared of facing their future. They have access to the Clearwisdom website. They are afraid of Internet exposure.

[Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).]

Since 2005, agents from the Xiangcheng National Security Bureau in Henan Province have frequently watched and harassed Falun Gong practitioners at their homes. Most wicked are the following individuals:

Ma Zefeng: He extorted money and gifts from practitioners and their families, ranging from 500 yuan to 2,000 yuan. He also demanded an additional 3,000 yuan parole payment from the practitioners' families.

Niu Hanqing told Falun Gong practitioners' families to invite him out to meals and demanded additional money, from 300 to 500 yuan. When the families visited practitioners at the detention center, he made up various schemes, saying that, unless they greased his palms and again treated him to meals, they would not be seeing their loved ones.

Jiang Weijian and Wei Jianhua often monitored and followed practitioners. They used excuses to "void" the parole money paid by the practitioners' families. He took mobile phones from Falun Gong practitioners and has never returned them.

Others guilty of persecution include Zhou Qingwu, Jin Hai, Zhao Jie, Li Zhi.
