(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of December 16, 2009, seven policemen, including Chen Yulong and another officer surnamed Wang from the Domestic Security Division in the Lianshan District of Huludao City and Li Fenjun, Li Xiaobo, and three others from the Huagong Police Station arrived at Ms. Wang Lixiang's home. When she refused to open the door, the officers broke in and ransacked her home. They confiscated many of her personal belongings and illegally arrested her. After being questioned at the Lianshan District Domestic Security Division, she was taken to the Huludao City Detention Center, where she is currently detained.
Ms. Wang's family was told on December 25, by phone, that her arrest had been ordered by the authorities.
Ms. Wang previously worked for the Research Institute of Liaoning Jinxi Chemical Industry Group Co. She began practicing Falun Gong in May 1997 and has derived many physical and psychological benefits from the practice. She is viewed as a good person by those who come into contact with her.
Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun
Gong on July 20, 1999, she has been subjected to much mistreatment
at the hands of the communist authorities. She was illegally
detained several times for over 30 days, sent to brainwashing
sessions twice for over 40 days, and held in the Masanjia Forced
Labor Camp for three years. The local government officials extorted
from her 3,000 yuan in cash. She has also been repeatedly
harassed, tracked, placed under surveillance, and subjected to
telephone monitoring. She and her family have also suffered great
harm during the sensitive dates.
Ms. Wang went to Beijing on February 28, 2000, to legally appeal
for justice for Falun Gong but was arrested and sent back to her
hometown. She was held in a detention center for a month and was
then ordered to attend brainwashing sessions in Xingchen City for
about a month. She was subsequently ordered to attend more
brainwashing sessions for over 20 days at the Dongshan Nursing Home
in Huludao City.
In April 2004, officers from Lianshan District Police Department in
Huludao City, led by Zhang Junsheng, Liu Xijun, and Liu Xingcheng,
attempted to arrest her by tracking and stalking her. Since she
figured out their intent, she managed to avoid being arrested again
but was forced to leave home for over a month.
On May 19, 2004, a group of police officers unexpectedly knocked on
her door while she was at home. When she refused to open the door,
the officers smashed through her anti-theft windows, broke into her
house, and ransacked it. She was arrested and taken to the Huludao
City Detention Center.
After being held in the detention center for eight days,
Lianshan District Domestic Security Division secretly sent her to
the Liaoning Masanjia Forced Labor Camp without notifying her
family. Masanjia Forced Labor Camp later called the family and told
them that Ms. Wang had been sentenced to three years of forced
labor.
In the forced labor camp, guards tried to "reform" her and make
her renounce her belief in Falun Gong through torture. The torture
included forcing her to sit on a small stool for long periods of
time, sleep deprivation, beatings, knocking out her teeth, and
other methods. Su Jing, Zhang Xiurong, Zhou Qian, Dai Yuhong, and
others were involved in the persecution. Ms. Wang was not released
from Masanjia Forced Labor Camp until April 5, 2007.
