(Minghui.org) A police officer in Baoding City, Hebei Province, recorded the daughter of Ms. Wu Junping without her knowledge and then used the phone recording as evidence to charge Ms. Wu for her faith in Falun Gong, a mind-body practice that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
Ms. Wu, a retired oil plant worker in her 70s, was arrested at home on June 6, 2020. She held a hunger strike to protest the arbitrary arrest and detention and was abused in custody.
When her blood pressure spiked, the detention center guards didn’t get her any medical help and also made her sit during the day, refusing to let her lie down to rest.
When Ms. Wu’s lawyer reviewed her case documents at the Jingxiu District Procuratorate on July 7, 2020, he realized that none of the documents submitted by the police had Ms. Wu’s or her family’s signature, nor was any valid evidence included in the case.
Shortly after the lawyer left, the prosecutor returned the case to the police.
In order to frame Ms. Wu, Ping Zhanlong, the officer in charge of her case, called Ms. Wu’s daughter and tried to force her to testify that the Falun Gong materials confiscated from Ms. Wu did belong to her. When her daughter refused to comply, officer Ping threatened to arrest her.
Terrified, Ms. Wu’s daughter admitted that the confiscated Falun Gong materials belonged to her mother. Ping recorded her without her knowledge, submitted the phone recording as evidence, and listed Ms. Wu's daughter as a witness.
