  • Guiping City 610 Office in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Persecutes and Tortures Falun Gong Practitioners

    At 11:00 p.m. on November 6, 2006, police officers from the Guiping 610 Office of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the Huadu District 610 Office of Guangzhou City, and Tianmei Village Security Team at Xinhua Street, Huadu District collaborated to arrest Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Liang Zhiwei from Guiping City, Guangxi. Mr. Liang was passing by Huadu Commercial Boulevard on his way home from work when he was struck down by the officers. They swarmed around him, kicked him, beat him with iron rods, and shocked him with electric batons. Mr. Liang's head was covered with bumps and bruises. The officers then ransacked his residence, taking away everything of value. Mr. Liang is being held at the Guiping Detention Center.

    Another practitioner, Mr. Liang Zhixiong, managed to evade being arrested. Guiping 610 Office tried to compel him to turn himself in by threatening to endanger the lives of his parents, siblings, wife, and children. The officials detained Mr. Liang's family members and relatives and forced them to accuse, criticize, and fight with each other. The officials fabricated rumors and created terror in the local area. When someone called and questioned one official, whose cellphone number is 13807852332, about why they would do such things and who the primary culprit was, the official answered that it was done on orders from the police bureau chief and higher ranking officials.

    The crimes committed by Guiping 610 Office have been exposed on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website many times. The evildoers were outraged and wanted to kill the practitioners who disclosed their crimes. At the moment, the lives of Mr. Liang Zhixiong and his family members are in danger.

    Practitioner Mr. Liang Zhihua has been held past his scheduled release date. We have not received any news concerning this practitioner since he was arrested on September 1, 2006, and no one knows his whereabouts.

    On the morning of November 7, 2006, practitioner Ms. Xiao Xiao, an employee of the Guangzhou vehicle plant, was arrested by officials from Huadu 610 Office. Her whereabouts are unknown.

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

    Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Chen Yuanhua was arrested in June 2006. On November 17, 2006, she was sentenced to three years in prison by the Ninghe County Court, which kept the sentencing a secret from her family. There is a ten-day time period in which to appeal after sentencing. After allowing the ten days to pass quietly, the court wants to secretly send Ms. Chen to prison.

    Ms. Chen Yuanhua, 55, lives in the Guojiayuan Market Area of Lutai Town, Nignhe County, Tianjin City. Since starting to practice Falun Gong in 1998, Ms. Chen has disciplined herself according to "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." She kept practicing after the persecution began on July 20, 1999, and was sent to a forced labor camp for two years. On June 3, 2006, Ms. Chen was trailed, arrested, and detained in the Ninghe County Detention Center, where she was cruelly tortured.

    On July 19, 2006, the Ninghe County 610 Office and the County Court held a secret trial for Ms. Chen. She refused to cooperate and clarified the truth to the court, which alarmed the authorities. On November 17, the Ninghe County Court held a secret trial again and sentenced Ms. Chen to three years in prison. Her family is appealing the ruling.


    Ms. Liang Yanying Is Sent to Forced Labor for Two Years; Her Daughter Might Have to Leave College

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

    Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Liang Yanying, in her 40s, is a teacher employed by the Wuyiguanjia Village Elementary School in Yitong County, Jilin Province. She truthfully answered her students' questions about Falun Gong in class. Her brother's wife, who is also the school's CCP Secretary, led Yitong County State Security agent Sun Shuping and others to ransack her home and threatened her until she fainted. The school assigned Ms. Liang to cook in the kitchen, and they did not allow her to teach.

    On September 18, 2006, agent Sun Shuping went to the school again, arrested Ms. Liang, sentenced her to two years of forced labor, and took her to the Changchun City Forced Labor Camp. The officials fear their crimes will be exposed, so they have threatened all of the school's teachers and students, and Ms. Liang's family members are not allowed to provide any information about her.

    Ms. Liang's daughter is a college student and is dependent on her mother's income. Now that Ms. Liang has been secretly arrested and sent to a forced labor camp, her daughter is faced with not having enough money to go to college.
