On May 15, 2009, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wu Tianying was arrested by policemen Zhang Shaoming, Hong Yu, and others from the Xiaochi Police Station, while she was talking with people about the persecution of Falun Dafa. Policeman Huang Chengjun kicked Wu Tianying in the chest, pulled her hair and slapped her face. He also yelled, "We'll arrest all of your relatives!"

Then Chen Honggang, the Director of the Xiaochi Police Station, ordered three policemen including You Zhiyou and Wang Yunyu to break into Wu Tianying's home. While the family was away, the policemen searched the house and took away three MP3 players worth about 1,000 yuan in total.

Persecuted since 1999

When the persecution of Falun Gong began in July 1999, policemen Luu Hai'ao, Huang Chengjun, Zhang Yahua and others harassed Wu Tianying at work. They forced her supervisors to pressure her to give up her belief in Dafa and not to go to Beijing to appeal. In July 2000, Chen Ming, another director of the police station, forced her to defame Dafa and its well-known founder on the Xiaochi Television Station.

On July 15, 2003, Wu Tianying was forcibly taken away by the Jiujiang Station Security Group. The policemen slapped her face, kicked her and hit her until her face was bruised and swollen. They cuffed her hands behind the back, poured irritating medicinal oil on her face while turning the air conditioning to the lowest temperature and blowing the air on her face. She was also deprived of sleep. Later the Jiujiang and Huanggang State Security Groups sent Wu Tianying to the brainwashing center at Group Nine, Shayang Forced Labor Camp in Hubei Province. Three former practitioners who had become collaborators surrounded her at a corner and deprived her of sleep. They forced her to watch TV programs that defamed Falun Dafa, and try to force her to denounce Dafa. They also threatened her with death if she refused to "transform," saying that her family would not even know if she died.

In order to have his wife released, Wu Tianying's husband had to treat the Huanggang State Security Group policemen with restaurant dinners and expensive cigarettes.

Ms. Wu Tianying is retired from the Telegram Bureau of Xiaochi Township, Huangmei County, Hubei Province. Since she started practicing Falun Dafa, many of her chronic diseases went away. In the past she was known for her bad-temper, but after following Falun Dafa's teachings, she gradually became mild-mannered and kind.
