14. [Shanghai] Zhou Lihui Is Often Harassed by Policemen from the City's National Security Bureau

Mr. Zhou Lihui is a Machine Control and Automation Major with a Ph.D. from Shanghai's Jiao Tong University. Because he went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, he was threatened by Ji Kaifeng from the university's Security Section, and also by Chen Wei and Gao Peihong, policemen from National Security Bureau. They often "invited" Zhou Lihui to "have tea" but actually tried to coerce him into providing information about other practitioners. Zhou Lihui refused to comply with their request.

In the summer of 2002, just before Zhou Lihui received his Ph.D. from the university, personnel from the National Security Bureau and the university's Party committee got him to come to a particular office under false pretenses and, completely unexpectedly, sent him to a brainwashing class.

That same summer Zhou Lihui moved out of university housing to a rented house. The national Security Bureau officials tracked him down and found out his address. They lied to the landlord and other people on the street that "a killer is living there." This greatly damaged Zhou Lihui's reputation. They also coerced a group of people to harass the landlord, but Zhou Lihui moved out before they did anything. Then the policemen arrested the landlord, who is also a practitioner, and took him/her to a brainwashing class.

By the end of 2002, because Zhou Lihui hadn't found a job, he went back to his hometown area on Wenmiao Street in Shanghe Town, Tongnan County, Chongqing City, Sichuan Province. When the National Security Bureau police discovered this, they went to his home and abducted him to the local police department, where he was intimidated and threatened. They canceled his permanent residence registration at Jiao Tong University. The local police department refused to register him. They also prohibited him from looking for a job.

15. [Wendeng City, Shandong Province] Ms. Shi Xiuhua Sentenced to Two Years of Forced Labor by the City's Police Department and Persons from the 610 Office

Ms. Shi Xiuhua, over 60 years old, lives in Erjia Village, Gaocun Town, Wendeng City, Shandong Province. She takes care of her over 80- year-old stepmother who has dementia. When Jiang's factions started to persecute Falun Gong, Shi Xiuhua went to Beijing to appeal. Because she had introduced Falun Gong to people and done the Falun Gong exercises at Huilongshan, she was detained twice and was fined 4,000 yuan, which bankrupted her family.

Around October 2004, Shi Xiuhua wrote a letter to Yu Haifeng, Wendeng City's Police Department's associate administrator, and to Wang Yongjian and Xiang Hongping, the 610 Office supervisors, asking them to return the fine. Instead, personnel from the 610 Office broke into her home and arrested her again. They fined her another 800 yuan and later sentenced her to two years of forced labor.
