(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Geng Huaipu, a Falun Gong practitioner in Jiawang District, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, was sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp. On September 13, 2005, he did not cooperate with the local 610 Office and managed to escape from the labor camp. Under pressure from the Jiangsu Province 610 Office, his original company, Chemical Plant of Xuzhou Mineral Group, spent 200 thousand yuan to support the police station of Jiawang District and the Security Department of the plant in arresting Geng Huaipu. One group went to Beijing while the other group went to Xinjiang Province.

Geng Huaipu's family was persecuted many times. The Neighborhood Community Office, the plant security department, the National Security Division, Public Security Division, Jiawang District 610 Office, and the local police station continuously harassed them. Their home was ransacked numerous times. His family members were arrested again and again. Geng Huaipu's mother, older brother, and sister-in-law were persecuted to death in February and March 2005. Shi Zhongling, his sister-in-law, was brutally persecuted in the brainwashing center of Xuzhou City, Suining County. Before she passed away on March 22, 2005, the doctors found two fractured ribs, dislocated shoulders, an accumulation of fluid in her chest, and many bruises on her body.

In December 1999, Geng Huaipu was arrested by personnel from the Jiawang District 610 Office and imprisoned in Jiawang District detention center. After being jailed for one year, the court released him unconditionally. However, the 610 Office perpetrators transferred him from the detention center directly to the Fangqiang Forced Labor Camp of Yancheng City. After being imprisoned for one more year, Geng Huaipu was again transferred from the Labor Camp to the brainwashing center of Suining. In the brainwashing class, Geng Huaipu was handcuffed and hung up in a tree for seven days. After being released from the brainwashing class, Geng Huaipu became homeless and was arrested again by the police while he was posting truth-clarification materials in Hefei City. He was sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp and was imprisoned in the Nanhu Forced Labor Camp in Xuancheng City, Anhui Province. On September 13, 2005, he refused to get into the car arranged by the 610 Office personnel and managed to escape from the forced labor camp.

Because the Jiawang District 610 Office did not succeed in transferring Geng Huaipu from the Nanhu Forced Labor Camp, they requested that the Security Department for the Chemical Plant of Xuzhou Mineral Group and the Neighborhood Community Office threaten and harass him. In addition, they reported the situation to the Jiangsu Province 610 Office. Jiangsu Province 610 Office requested that the Xuzhou City 610 Office and the Jiawang District 610 Office arrest him. Several days ago, the Chemical Plant of Xuzhou Mineral Group spent 200 thousand yuan to support the police station of Jiawang District and the Security Department of the plant in arresting Geng Huaipu. One group went to Beijing while the other group went to Xinjiang Province.
