(Clearwisdom.net) Shijiazhuang City People’s Army Ordinance Engineering College in Hebei Province (SPAOEC) persecutes staff and students who are Falun Gong practitioners, and has done so since the persecution began in 1999. In addition to confiscating Falun Gong materials and forcing the practitioners to write "guarantee statements," SPAOEC monitors practitioners’ phones, cell phones, and Internet connections. SPAOEC keeps the lights on day and night in corridors outside practitioners’ residences. SPAOEC installs surveillance cameras and has guards watch practitioners all day long. SPAOEC has sent practitioners who remain steadfast in their belief to forced labor camps, prisons and brainwashing centers throughout Hebei Province.
Wang Zhongshu retired from SPAOEC’s plant for interns. Before practicing Falun Gong he had various kinds of illnesses, such as hypertension, heart disease, stomach problems, etc. He became very healthy after practicing Falun Gong, and all of his illnesses were healed. However, after July 20, 1999, Mr. Wang's work leaders often went to his residence to harass him. They tried to force him to write a guarantee statement, and forced him to attend brainwashing classes. He was not allowed to study or practice Falun Gong. As a result, Wang suffered mentally and physically, and his former illnesses relapsed. In May 2002, he suffered from a stroke and passed away.
Professor Zhou Qinglong has been repeatedly persecuted; his salary was lowered by two levels, and he’s been under long-term illegal surveillance. Because he publicly defended Falun Gong, he was detained in an ammunition storage space (belonging to SPAOEC) located in Jingxing Mountain Area, for forced "transformation" and torture. In early October 2000, Professor Zhou wrote to the college authorities clarifying the truth of Falun Gong. Afterwards, he was arrested. In the afternoon of February 22, 2001, some police officers armed with submachine guns and helmets took Professor Zhou to a college staff meeting where he was sentenced to two years of forced labor in front of all his colleagues. Afterwards, he was detained in Team One of Shijiazhuang City Labor Camp. Professor Zhou was deeply humiliated, and his body was injured. Because he refused to be "transformed," he was once detained in the notorious Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp, where he was brainwashed. Two years later, Professor Zhou was exhausted both physically and mentally. Still, after his release he was not allowed to live in peace. In August 2005, his residence was ransacked and he was arrested again. This time he was illegally detained in Hebei Provincial Law Education Center, where he was subjected to brainwashing for five months. After he was released, he was illegally monitored at all times.
Professor Zhou was repeatedly arrested and detained. The repeated unlawful house searches, arrests, harassment and threats terrified his wife. As a result, she suffered from a mental disorder, but had nobody to take care of her. She would often lay down on the wet concrete floor. After treatment, her situation did not improve. The couple's only son has been detained in Shanxi Province simply because he practices Falun Gong.
Ms. Zhang Zhu was a retiree of the college printing plant. In 2000, she went to Beijing to clarify to people that Falun Gong is great, but she was extorted 300 yuan by Shijiazhuang City Public Security Officers. In addition, Zhang Xiaoping and some police officers arrested her at her work place and detained her in the college police station for over a month.
In November 2000, Ms. Zhang Zhu wrote to the leaders of the college, expressing her appreciation for the book Zhuan Falun. Because of this, Zhang Xiaoping arrested and detained Ms. Zhang in the ammunition storage shed for over seven months. During this time, Ms. Zhang was not allowed to read Zhuan Falun or practice the Falun Gong exercises, and she was forced to write a guarantee statement. Near the end of 2001, Zhang Xiaoping intended to detain Ms. Zhang again just because she went to visit a fellow practitioner. Ms. Zhang strongly resisted, hence she was besieged at home. In addition, many soldiers stayed at her residence. A few days later, the police locked Ms. Zhang up in a mental health hospital in the name of a physical check up. In the mental hospital, Ms. Zhang refused to take any pills, so the staff pried her mouth open and poured the medicine down her throat. She also refused to take any injections, so they tied her to the bed with ropes and injected the drugs against her will. She was forced to wear a patient uniform. Her mind and body were devastated.
In April 2002, Zhang Xiaoping took Ms. Zhang to a forced labor camp. She was carried inside the labor camp and was forced to bear "transformation" for over a month. On July 20, 2004, Zhang Xiaoping, Wei Changhong and some others ransacked Ms. Zhang Zhu’s residence. After that, they arrested her one more time and detained her in Shijiazhuang City Forced Labor Camp, where she was forced to listen to brainwashing. Due to the long-term stress, Ms. Zhang suffered great mental trauma. As a result, her physical health deteriorated. On the morning of December 31, 2004, Ms. Zhang Zhu fell and injured her face. She was sent to the hospital and diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage. Chinese Lunar New Year is a family reunion day. However, Zhang Xiaoping transferred Ms. Zhang from the hospital to the ammunition storage shed in the Jingxing Mountain Area where Ms. Zhang was totally cut off from the outside world. When Ms. Zhang Zhu’s mother was about to pass away, her family members tried everything they could to find her. More than a year later, she was released from the mountain, but Wei Changhong still extorted 10,000 yuan from her and put her under tight control. Fearing further persecution, this elderly lady had to leave her home and live a life of destitution.
A college postdoctoral student, Wang Xinggui practices Falun Gong and cultivates Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance. Since July 20, 1999, he has been under long-term illegal surveillance. The college even installed surveillance cameras and lights in front of his residence. In November 2005, Mr. Wang was taken to the Hebei Provincial Law Education Center where he has been forced to endure brainwashing for over nine months. The college refused to release Mr. Wang.
Because of the information blockade, we do not know the details of Mr. Wang’s current situation, but from the reports on the Clearwisdom website, we have learned that Hebei Provincial Law Education Center persecutes Falun Gong practitioners. It is a Nazi-style concentration camp, a vicious brainwashing center, a hell on earth. It is not hard to guess what kind of a harsh environment Mr. Wang is living in right now. Mr. Wang has a physically weak wife and a daughter now living by themselves. Under the enormous pressure exerted by the CCP, the mother and daughter experience huge stress. Any kind-hearted person can understand and sympathize with the anxiety and worry associated with the suffering of their loved ones. Especially after the international exposure of the massive illegal organ harvesting of live Falun Gong practitioners, Mr. Wang’s relatives fear for his life.
