(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Fan Shude (范淑德), 57, from Shuangcheng City in Heilongjiang Province, was plagued with many illnesses before she practiced Falun Gong, included myocarditis, severe stomachaches, kidney problems and arthritis. However, all of her illnesses soon disappeared after she began practicing. She has been arrested and tortured five times because of her belief.

Just before the Chinese New Year on February 3, 2000, the deputy head of the local police Zhang Guofu, Jin Wanzhi, Zhang Shiyao and Liu Chunyang sent two armed officers to Ms. Fan's home at 10 p.m. to arrest her. She was taken to Shuangcheng No.2 Detention Center, where she was detained for two months. Her family was forced to pay a 3,000 yuan fine and another 400 yuan before they would release her.

The deputy head of Shuangcheng 610 Office Liu Shanzhong arrested Ms. Fan on the morning of February 12, 2003, on Chinese New Year’s Day, because she had written “Falun Dafa is good” on a lamp post. She was taken to Shuangcheng Police Department, where Zhang Guofu and Jin Wanzhi sentenced her to two years of forced labor. Due to her mistreatment at Shuangsheng Detention Center, her heart problem recurred and she failed to meet the labor camp's health requirements. However, Zhang Guofu ordered the then-head of the detention center Liu Qingyu to bribe the deputy head of Wanjia Labor Camp Hospital Song Zhaohui to make sure Ms. Fan was accepted into the labor camp.

Ms. Fan was arrested by officers from Xinyi Police Station in Harbin City on the afternoon of August 1, 2007 when she was seen delivering truth-clarification materials there. She was taken to Harbin Second Detention Center. While in detention, the deputy head of the detention center Zhao Fengxia put her in handcuffs and shackles, and used another set of handcuffs to connect the two. Ms. Fan had to bend over and hold up the heavy shackles to walk and to use the restroom. She had to force herself to eat very little, to reduce her use of the restroom. Zhao Fengxia ordered the doctor at the detention center to force-feed her for three days. A group of inmates held her down, while a few others sat on her legs. She vomited profusely each time after the force-feeding.

On August 16, 2007, Ms. Fan was sentenced to one and a half years in Qianjin Forced Labor Camp, where she was tortured for over eight months. During this period of time, guard lead Zhang Bo, political head Wang Min, and guard Zhou Muqi injected her with unknown drugs.

Ms. Fan was arrested by the political head of Shuangcheng Domestic Security Division Wang Yubiao and officer Chen Cunming at around noon on March 25, 2010, because she had sent DVDs of Shen Yun Performing Arts to people. She was taken to Dongfeng Police Station.

About 50 practitioners were arrested by police from Shuangcheng and Harbin Police Department at around mid-day on November 13, 2011. Ms. Fan was also arrested. She was severely tortured and taken to a hospital for treatment.
