Officers He Xiangming, Zhou Xiangdong, Chen Yuzhou and others from the local National Security Division at the Dipinghu Police Department illegally arrested practitioner Ms. Fan Changhua from Gezhouba, Yichang City, Hubei Province on January 12, 2007. They also ransacked her home and took lots of personal belongings. Fan Changhua has been held at the No. 1 Detention Center in Yichang City for nearly six months. The officials do not let her meet with her family. It was learned that agents at the Gezhouba Court have secretly sentenced her to prison.
Fan Changhua has been persecuted many times since July 20, 1999. She was sentenced to 18 months of forced labor in late 2004 and was savagely tortured at Wuhan Women's Forced Labor Camp until she became incontinent. Her former workplace, the Gezhouba Machinery Factory, also called the No. 5 Company of the Gezhouba Group Corporation, forced her to retire from her job as a kindergarten teacher. The company paid her only a few hundred yuan a month since her release from the labor camp in 2005.
