(Minghui.org) Ms. Zhou Qi from Xishui County, Hubei Province was taken into custody by Xishui domestic security officers on August 8, 2012. Her home was ransacked. The police, led by Guo Jianli, deputy chief of the Domestic Security Division, took her to the Second Detention Center. Tao Shu, director of the Qingquan Police Station, Chief Chen Jinlin, Chen Junjie and Xu Hui from the Procuratorate assisted in the persecution.

After two weeks of brainwashing tactics, Ms. Zhou Qi did not say anything that the police wanted.

The police then transferred Ms. Zhou Qi to the First Detention Center on August 22, 2012. After a month, she still did not tell them what they wanted to hear. They issued an arrest warrant on September 24, 2012 in order to keep her detained. Ms. Zhou was interrogated and tortured in the detention center. The police took turns questioning her. Her arms and legs were cuffed to a steel chair so that she was unable to move. The police also took her blood, to be “examined”. Her family was not allowed to visit. Because of the torture she endured, Ms. Zhou is emaciated and unable to care for herself.

Ms. Zhou was an accountant for the Palm Factory in Bahe Town, Xishui County. Every year she was praised for her excellent work. After she started to practice Falun Gong in 1996, she followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. She was regarded as a good example for everyone in the company.

After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, Ms. Zhou Qi continued to firmly believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and clarified the truth to everyone, especially those who she feels are deceived by the lies told by the CCP. She has been arrested six times, and detained four times. She was once detained for more than three months, and held in a forced labor camp for one year. Another time, she and her husband Zhang Yuejing were sentenced together to five years.
