The police offered Mr. Zuo Zewen a ride that was supposed to get his confiscated tricycle back at the station, but actually drove him directly to the forced labor camp.
Mr. Liu Wen was arrested on a bus, because the inspection station identified him as a Falun Gong practitioner. Then his daughter's college forced her to pay 8,000 or 9,000 yuan to be allowed to take exams. His wife developed a heart attack and almost died under pressure.
Police of Laiyuan County, Hebei Province: "This is Called 'Strategy' not 'Lying'"
At around 10 a.m. on December 29, 2009, after receiving a phone call from the Domestic Security Team of Laiyuan County Police Department, Kang Yongli, the supervisor of Shidao Village, let Mr. Zuo Zewen immediately go to the police department to pick up his tricycle.
When Mr. Zuo Zewen, a Falun Gong practitioner, and his wife went to the police department, their tricycle was not there. Mr. Zuo then went to the Domestic Security Team to inquire further and was told the tricycle was at Chengguan Police Station.
Policeman Zhang Fang retrieved a police car , offering Mr. Zuo a ride to the station to pick up the tricycle. But when Mr. Zuo got in the car, Zhang Fang drove him directly to Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp.
Mr. Zuo's wife waited for him in their home until 8 p.m. and did not see his return. She went to Kang Yongli's home for information. Kang called the Domestic Security Team and was told Mr. Zuo had been imprisoned at a forced labor camp.
The following day, Mr. Zuo's wife and Kang went to the Domestic Security Team to ask for Mr. Zuo's release. When Kang asked Team Leader Wei Jinkui why the police had lied to him and used him to lie to others, and inquired of how he would be able to explain this to all of the villagers, Wei replied, "This is not 'lying', it is 'strategy.' You did nothing wrong, you were just a messenger. You should stand along the side of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)."
Then Wei pointed his finger at Mr. Zuo's wife and said, "Do not bother Kang Yongli again."

Background:
On December 9, 2009, Chief Yang Pengge from Shuibaozhen Police Station in Laiyuan County, Hebei Province, along with others, arrested Mr. Zuo and detained him at a detention center, confiscating his tricycle.
In the afternoon of the same day, Mr. Zuo's wife and relatives went to the Domestic Security Team to ask for her husband's release. However, Wei Jinkui slapped one of her family members. Another policewoman took 120 yuan from another family member by force. On the morning of December 10, Mr. Zuo's family and nephew went to the Domestic Security Team again. As a result, Officer Zhang Fang slapped Mr. Zuo's nephew on his face three times.
On the morning of December 14, Mr. Zuo's wife went to the Domestic Security Team again. At approximately 7 p.m. Mr. Zuo was released and sent back home. Mr. Zuo later divulged that during the detention period the prison doctor force-fed him twice with large amounts of salt and unknown substances. Mr. Zuo's chest was subjected to extreme duress, such that he could not cough.
On the morning of December 21, Mr. Zuo and his wife went to the Domestic Security Team to retrieve their confiscated tricycle. Zhang Fang told them that Wei Jinkui was not there and that he himself could not make any decisions. On the morning of the next day, the couple went again. When Wei Jinkui saw them, he began to curse at them wildly. Wei slapped Mr. Zuo's wife on her face three times, then took out an electric baton from underneath a table and hit her again. The abuse left an inch long cut on her face. Mr. Zuo tried to stop Wei but was slapped twice. Mr. Zuo reminded Wei that it is against the law to beat people at will, so just reason the issue in peace. Wei then yelled, "(F word) your reason, here is the CCP's realm."
On December 23, the couple went to visit the local CCP Political and Judiciary Committee to seek justice. The committee just sent their case to the police department. On December 24, Police chief Li Fuqi of told the couple, "We must demonstrate an iron fist against Falun Gong."
When Mr. Zuo asked him when he would get his tricycle back, Li said sinisterly, "Get away! You just wait and see, the situation will be resolved very soon."

After his marriage, he moved to Banbidian Village, Dashiwo Town, Fangshan District, Beijing. He and his wife raise diary cows to support their daughter's college education. On September 19, 2009, he took a bus to deliver milk and was stopped by Beijing Changgou Inspection Station. The staff identified him as a Falun Gong practitioner after locating his name on a blacklist and took him to Dashiwo Police Station.
Police officer Chang Guanhua, along with others, ransacked Mr. Liu's home when no one was in. When his wife returned, she found the home in disarray and her daughter's insurance card missing. The same night, she went to Fangshan District Detention Center but was not allowed to visit her husband. She repeated her visits several times during the following days and around October 28-29, but was never allowed to see her husband. On November 2, 2009, she passed someone 100 yuan, who then told her that Mr. Liu was detained there.
Mr. Liu had previously been sentenced to three years of forced labor in 2000. He was detained at Balizhuang Forced Labor Camp in Baoding City and Hehuakeng Forced Labor Camps in Tangshan City. At Baoding Camp he was subjected to violent brainwashing. The guards tied him to the dead person's bed for 17 days, shocked him with several electric batons at once, hitting him in the armpits and in the genitals. In 2003, Mr. Liu was taken to a forced labor camp for the second time and released at the end of 2004. After he had been home for only one month, Chengguan Town police Station in Fangshan District arrested him again on January 10, 2005, and took him to the brainwashing center at located in Yuguanying Village, Liangxiang Town. He was tortured there for several months.
Liu Wen's wife has a heart condition and is home alone, having to take care of all the chores. Although he has already been detained for three months, Ms. Liu's family has not yet been allowed to visit him. The sources indicate that Mr. Liu has been sentenced to prison again by Zhuozhou City Court.
On December 26, 2009, their daughter called from school and said that the college administration was forcing her to pay 8,000 or 9000 yuan in fees to be allowed to take exams. Mr. Liu's wife instantly developed a heart attack and almost died that night. She was hesitant to tell her daughter what was happening, not wanting to create additional pressure for the child.
Next day her daughter came home for a visit. She happened to meet Police officer Chang Guanhua at home. As the house was freezing, Chang asked why they did not heat the house. The mother answered, "I have no money. We borrowed 30,000 to buy the cows, now my daughter needs 8,000 to 9,000 yuan for her exams. It is snowing so hard, and Liu Wen's whereabouts are still unknown."
