The persecution of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Chen Zaixian
On August 6, 2002, Wu Zhanping, a police officer from Tianzhu Police Department, deceived practitioner Ms. Chen Zaixian at work. He told her to come to the Tianzhu Police Department. The police tried to illegally sentence her to two years of forced labor. Her family asked for her and took her home on medical parole, but the family was made to pay 3,000 yuan in extortion money. She was held for nearly 40 days.
On the morning of June 5, 2003, a group of police officers headed by Long Buwen broke into Ms. Chen's home and arrested her. After detaining her for over a month, they shackled her and took her to Zhongba Women's Labor Camp in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province. The arrest was carried out by Yang Shundeng, deputy head of the county police department; political head Yang Changliang; and several other officers.
During her incarceration at the Zhongba Women's Labor Camp in Guiyang City, Gu Xinying and group head Li Jianming ordered six inmates to forbid Ms. Chen from sleeping, drinking water, going to the restroom, or washing herself. They forced her to work for 18 hours a day and sometimes even 24 hours a day. In the summer they made her stand outside in the blistering heat without moving for 17 to 19 hours a day. In the winter they compelled her to stand in the snow for extended periods of time, which caused ulcerated, pus-filled lesions on her buttocks.
On February 12, 2006, Ms. Chen Zaixian went to Yuankou Town to clarify the truth and was reported. The local police extorted 1,000 yuan from her.
On June 6, 2002, the county government unlawfully detained practitioners Huang Juying and Long Sue for 15 days.
Persecution of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Yang Xiaohan
On July 7, 2002, police from Tianzhu County ransacked practitioner Ms. Yang Xiaohan's home. Officers Wu Zhanping and others took 150 yuan and Dafa books from Ms. Yang. They detained her for 18 days and sentenced her to three years in prison. She was savagely tortured at the Zhongba Forced Labor Camp in Guiyang City. The authorities subjected her to brainwashing and made her stand for very long periods of time. She was forced to work for 18 hours to 20 hours a day.
Persecution of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Gan Gongyu
After July 20, 1999, officers from the Tianzhu County Police Department arrested Ms. Gan Gongyu and interrogated her for three days. They also ransacked her home.
In April 2002, Ms. Gan was again arrested and sent to the Tianzhu Police Department. Officers Long Buwen, Pan Nianhai and others intimidated and harassed her many times and forbade her to practice Falun Gong.
In June 2002, Long Buwen and many other police officers went to Ms. Gan's home to arrest her again. She left home to avoid further persecution. The police threatened her family. In 2003, she returned home. Law enforcement officers Long Buwen, Yang Cheng, Yang Changliang and others pounded on her door and arrested her again. They detained Ms. Gan for one month and then sentenced her to three years of forced labor. They also extorted 2,000 yuan from her family.
Ms. Gan was brutally tortured during her incarceration at the labor camp. She was forbidden to speak or use the toilet and was on the brink of death. They police released her after extorting more than 20,000 yuan from her son.
On January 15, 2006, of the Chinese lunar calendar, Ms. Gan Gongyu and fellow practitioners went to Yuankou Town to clarify the truth and were reported. Long Xianwu and Liu Mingxing, police officers from Yuankou Town, extorted 1,000 yuan from them and took their truth clarification materials.
In May 2006, officers from Tianzhu Police Department extorted yet another 1,000 yuan from Ms. Gan and another 3,000 yuan in "guarantee money" because she had distributed truth clarification materials in Yuankou Town.
