(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Jiang Yahong, 34, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Zhansheng Village, Wanlong Township, Shuangcheng, Heilongjiang Province, has been suffering persecution for many years.
On May 17, 2000, Ms. Jiang, carrying her newborn son, went to the Letters and Visits Office in Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Dafa. She was arrested at the gate of the office and taken back to her home in the Baofeng Village, Tuanjie Township by Wang Chengli, an officer from the Shuangcheng Liaison Office in Beijing. Wang scolded her and frightened her baby. The village was fined 2,000 yuan for her appeal in Beijing, and would be fined the same amount every time she appealed in Beijing. Wu Zelin, secretary of the Tuanjie Township Political and Judiciary Committee, sent people to watch her day and night.
Ms. Jiang's husband divorced her under pressure. The township leaders did not allow her to go back to her parents' home, and confined Ms. Jiang to the house of Yan Fengying, the director of the Tuanjie Township Women's Union. The parents of Ms. Jiang paid a 50-yuan boarding fee and had others take her home five days later.
On June 22, 2000, Ms. Jiang was arrested at the Shuangcheng Railway Station by officers from Shuangcheng. Jin Wanzhi, a female officer, searched her and took her 30 yuan in cash and 100-yuan railway ticket without giving a receipt. She was detained at the Shuangcheng No. 2 Detention Center for 19 days and released after her family paid the boarding expenses.
On July 21, 2000, Ms. Jiang and her mother were arrested at a fellow practitioner's home by agents from the Shangcheng 610 Office.
On December 15, 2000, Ms. Jiang was arrested while she was displaying a Falun Dafa banner in Tiananmen Square. Police brutally beat her and detained her at a detention center in a mountain area of Beijing, where officers including one named Jiao Hua beat and scolded her. A female officer put her handcuffs on so tight that she was seriously hurt. On December 23, she was taken to the Dongli Detention Center in Tianjin where an officer shocked her using an electric baton. She was taken to the Shuangchen Liaison Office in Beijing.
On January 1, 2001, Ms. Jiang was taken back to the Shuangcheng No. 2 Detention Center. Nineteen days later, she was taken to the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp. While she was on her way to the camp, she first heard that she would be subjected to forced labor and was given a forced labor ticket.
She was tortured at the labor camp. On the evening of January 7 of the Chinese calendar, Shi Yingbai, camp director, led many male guards to the women's section of the camp and shocked them with electric batons.
In April, Song Shaohui, deputy director of the Wanjia Hospital, brutally beat her. As a result of the beating, she lost hearing in one ear for more than a month. Zhang Bo, director of the No. 12 section, subjected her to corporal punishment.
On January 23, 2006, Ms. Jiang was arrested while walking down the street in Xinnong Town, Harbin, by Liu Shoping, on officer from the Xinnong Police Station.
On January 24, 2006, she was taken to a detention center in her hometown. She was subjected to brutal force-feeding on February 3; she almost died. The guards tried to extort 3,000 yuan from her family, but the family rejected the extortion attempt.
