12. [Jieyang City, Guangdong Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Huang Peiluan Is Repeatedly Harassed and Her Husband Fell Ill as a Result of Shock

Ms. Huang Peiluan from Jieyang City, Guangdong Province is in her 60s. She began to practice Falun Dafa in March 1999. She had previously suffered from very serious migraine headaches and beriberi for many years. She felt miserable at that time and consulted many doctors in Jieyang City without any effect. However, after she practiced Falun Dafa all her illnesses disappeared.

Since July 20, 1999, when the persecution began, the local police did not even spare this over 60-year-old grandmother. They repeatedly locked her up in the detention center, extorted fines, and sent her to a brainwashing center. Because she could not bear the endless harassments, threats, and intimidation she wrote the so-called "Three Statements" (1) before she was released. In 2003, the police ransacked her home again and took her to the detention center. In the detention center the police repeatedly tortured her, and forcibly took her fingerprints. Ms. Huang resolutely refused, saying that she had not committed any crime, did not the break the law, and that it was not wrong for her to follow the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance" in order to be a good person. Therefore, the police sent her to Sanshui Women's Forced Labor Camp in Guangdong Province.

As a result of the repeated persecution by the police for all those years, Huang Peiluan's husband was under great stress, and finally he became ill and is now bedridden.

Note:

(1) "Three Statements" - Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write these as proof that they have given up their belief. Created by the "610 Office," the three statements consist of a letter of repentance, a guarantee to never again practice Falun Gong, and a list of names and addresses of all family members, friends and acquaintances who are practitioners.
