Several depraved people from Zhongshan Community, Wuchang District, abducted Falun Dafa practitioner Geng Shun'e from her home when her husband was at work and her children were at school.

They even extorted 100 Yuan from her family, saying that they gave her some kind of shots.

Before this happened, Ms. Geng Shun'e had been forced to leave home for an extended period of time to avoid being harassed by the authorities. She had only recently returned home, and was abducted right away. Her relatives demanded to know why the authorities took her away.

15. [Fushui City, Liaoning Province] An Insider Tells of Policeman Wang Zhenyuan's Boasting of Mercilessly Beating Dafa Practitioners

On a spring day in 2000, I went to the Security Section of Hongtou Mountain Ore Company in Fushun City, Liaoning Province to take care of some business. After arriving at that office, I overheard the employees discussing various matters. The person who spoke the most was policeman Wang Zhenyuan. He said arrogantly, "...went to Beijing to pick up Yang Xiaozhi and Feng Jinying who appealed for Falun Gong. After we came back, Liu Shuli and I unmercifully beat them! That elderly lady Feng's face was distorted as a result of our torture, her mouth was bleeding, and you could hear the sound of the bones in her arms... afterwards we sent them to Qingyuan Detention Center."

I was so angry! Don't they practice Falun Gong to keep fit and be healthy? What's wrong with believing in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance?" These policemen are so crazy!

16. [Chengdu, Sichuan Province] Police Track Su Kezhen Around the Clock for an Extended Time

Around October 2003, Simaqiao local policemen arrested Ms. Su Kezhen at her home, and detained her at the Pi County Detention Center for three months, then sentenced her to one and half a years of forced labor. After being taken to Nanmusi Women's Labor Camp in Zizhong, the labor camp checked Ms. Su's health condition. Her body showed symptoms of high blood pressure. Therefore, the labor camp refused to accept her and the local police station personnel had to take her home.

Since she returned home on January 15, 2004, policemen from the Simaqiao Local Police Station have tailed her around the clock until today. They even shadow her when she goes shopping or visits relatives and friends. Su Kezhen visited their office many times to clarify the facts about Falun Dafa. She warned them that they were committing crimes in persecuting Dafa practitioners. However they paid no attention, and continue to persecute her. On the May 1 public holiday, Ms. Su went to Ma Yi of Simaqiao Local Police Station, asked them not to persecute and follow her any more, but Ma Yi said, "We still need to closely follow you during the holiday period."
