Repeated persecution of Dafa practitioner Mr. Du Kesong from Wendeng City

Dafa practitioner Mr. Du Kesong, 69 years old, lived in Wendeng City, Shandong Province. Over the past six years he was repeatedly persecuted. The main perpetrators are Wang Yongjian, Xiang Hongping, Li Yinglin, Sun Guohai and other personnel from the Wendeng City 610 Office and the police department. Mr. Du was twice illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor for a total of six years, was detained four times, and held four times under security detention. The perpetrators fined him 2,000 yuan and his home was ransacked three times. Du Kesong was ruthlessly persecuted only because he refused to give up his belief in Truth-Compassion-Forbearance. Even after Mr. Du was released on medical bail due to high blood pressure, the police still repeatedly harassed and persecuted him, which greatly traumatized him. His family lost a total of 30,000 yuan as a direct result of the persecution over the past six years.

Police officers in Xianghe County, Hebei Province abduct a practitioner and extort large amounts of money from his family

Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang Yuhui, 38 years old, lived in Wangjiabai Village, Anping Town, Xianghe County, Hebei Province. He did some bad things early in his life. After he learned Falun Gong in 1995, he conducted himself according to Truth-Compassion- Forbearance and became a good person. Since the persecution of Falun Gong started on July 20, 1999, the perpetrators harassed and threatened Zhang Yuhui many times, especially on so-called sensitive dates. As a result, Zhang Yuhui was compelled to leave home.

On April 7, 2004, Zhang Yuhui was abducted by perpetrators from the Xianghe County Police Department and National Security Bureau and was sent to a detention center where he was incarcerated under criminal detention for one month. He was later sent to the Langfang City Brainwashing Class. Mr. Zhang's family was threatened after his abduction, and the perpetrators tried to extort 60,000 yuan from his family. After his family made some connections, the perpetrators lowered the amount to 40,000 yuan. Zhang Yuhui's family borrowed lots of money and was barely able to pool the extortion amount. They hoped the money would be returned later.

Zhang Yuhui was released after about a month of persecution. He had to work different jobs the following year to pay back the debt. In May 2005, personnel from the Xianghe County Police Department National Security Bureau told Zhang Yuhui, "We confiscated your money and will not return one yuan."
