The Persecution of Mr. Zhang Hongzhang in Fujian Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Around April 20, 2009, the police at the Wuyishan Vista
Area in Fujian Province tortured and killed practitioner Mr. Fu Ziming from
Jianli County, Hubei Province. Ten days later, on April 30, officers from the
Wuyishan Police Department and agents from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in
Nanping City arrested practitioner Mr. Zhang Hongzhang, of the City Education
Bureau in Wuyishan. On April 30, Mr. Zhang was arrested by CCP agents and the Wuyishan police. It
was said that Mr. Zhang was summoned by the director of the Education Bureau on
the morning of April 30, and was later arrested. The police also went to his
home and ransacked it, seizing all his belongings. Participating officers
included Zhou Guisheng, Peng Min, Cao Da, and also Yang Zibao from Wuyishan City
Police Department and Tang Dazhong from the National Security Squadron. Mr. Zhang once served as the chairman of the Education Bureau workers'
union, and manager of the finance department in the Education Bureau. Due to the
pressure from their superiors over the fact that Mr. Zhang practiced Falun Gong,
the Education Bureau released him of both positions. Mr. Zhang has excellent
moral character, and was well known in the Education Bureau as a good person. Brutal persecution caused Mr. Zhang to develop many illnesses and he suddenly
passed out during an interrogation around May 9, with his blood pressure
reaching 220-240. The police had to take him to the hospital to be examined.
Many of his friends and colleagues visited him in the hospital. Worried that
people would learn the truth about why he was ill, the police transferred Mr.
Zhang out of the hospital that same day, when his condition was most critical.
He is now being detained in Wuyishan City Jail. Although the city officials in Wuyishan City put Mr. Zhang's home under
tight surveillance, people still were able to spread the news of his situation
in detention. National Security Squadron, Wuyishan City Police Department: 86-599-5307023 Posting date: 6/13/2009 |
