(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wang Kun, 48 years old, is a former employee of the Laboratory Section of the Jiancheng Machinery Plant, Harbin City. He began practicing Falun Gong in 1997. As a result, he gained physical and mental wellbeing. Over the past more than ten years of the persecution launched by the Chinese Communist Party, he has been arrested numerous times and subjected to forced labor and imprisonment. He was severely abused and mistreated while being illegally detained. He was sentenced to eight years in prison on June 10, 2009, and is now in Hulan Prison.

Mr. Wang and Ms. Zhu Yumei were arrested the evening of July 29, 2008, as they distributed information about Falun Gong in Jiaojie Town. Officers from the Jiaojie Town Police Station headed by Li Hongde chased them while firing gunshots at them. The two practitioners were taken to the 610 Office and then transferred to the No.2 Detention Center and held for 15 days. Mr. Wang was then transferred to the No.1 Detention Center.

Daoli District Court officials unlawfully tried Mr. Wang and Ms. Zhu on December 23, 2008. Two lawyers entered not-guilty pleas for them.

Mr. Wang Kun was handed an eight-year prison term on June 10, 2009.

Mr. Wang was previously arrested and detained numerous times and was subjected to forced labor once. In November 1999, he went to the Acheng District 610 Office to clarify the truth to officers, but was immediately taken to the No.2 Detention Center for a two-week detention. In November 2000, Mr. Wang went to Beijing to validate the Fa. Officers from the Zhanqian Police Station arrested him. They hit his face until it was swollen and shocked his genitals with four electric batons. Following more than ten days of detention and torture, Mr. Wang's employer sent people to bring him back, after his family had been forced to pay 2,000 yuan. He was taken directly to the 610 Office and then transferred to the No.2 Detention Center and held for two weeks. He was subjected to one year of forced labor, but was forced to serve 18 months in Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp before he was released.
