(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Zhang Qingshu, 45, is a resident of Dingzhangzi Village, in Louzhangzi Township, Qinglong County, Hebei Province. He was arrested many times for practicing Falun Gong. On July 16, 2000, the Director of the Police Substation Li Shen detained him. Mr. Zhang was then taken to a detention center and later transferred to the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp of Hebei Province for two years. He was released on April 27, 2002.
Mr. Zhang was arrested at his home on the evening of February 21, 2003, by Liang Qingru, the director of Louzhangzi Police Substation. He was taken to the Tangshan City Hehuakeng Forced Labor camp and detained for three years.
On February 3, 2009, Mr. Zhang was clarifying the facts about Falun Gong in Haihongzhuang Village of Xiaoyingzi Town when he was reported by Liu Qing, the village Communist Party secretary. Song Xueqiang, director of the Police Substation of Xiaoyingzi, then arrested him. He was sent to the Balizhuang Forced Labor Camp of Baoding City, Hebei Province, and has been detained there since February 16, 2009.
After three terms of forced labor, Mr. Zhang's family has run out of savings. Zhang's 82-year-old mother worried about her son a great deal, and she recently passed away due to illness.
Mr. Zhang's 78-year-old father constantly misses his son. Mr. Zhang's wife went to visit Zhang Qingshu in the labor camp on June 16, 2010. However, labor camp officials refused to let her see him, using the excuse that he has not renounced Falun Gong.
