Since July 20, 1999, the Pingshan police and authorities at every level have illegally detained and tortured Falun Gong practitioners. They have also searched their homes. The following is a record of the employees who have participated in the persecution:
On the morning of July 20,1999, Jiang Zemin's regime mobilized various government departments and started to illegally arrest Falun Gong assistants all over the country. Pingshan practitioners Feng Xinyan, Feng Minghai, Li Shoue, Zhang Gentong, Wang Yunduo and a few others, totaling over ten, went to Beijing to appeal . They were stopped on the way for no legal reason and were escorted back to the Pingshan County Police Station. The police Station imposed a fine of 200 Yuan on each of them, and then sent all of them back to Dawu Township. The township government leaders, Hou Tongxiao and Lu Sufang, and others, forced more than twenty practitioners to participate in a "transformation class." They also extorted an illegal "fine" of 150 Yuan from each practitioner. Afterwards, practitioner Mi Xinqin went to Beijing to appeal. She was arrested and escorted back to the Pingshan County Police Station. The Pingshan County's political security section forced her family members to pay a 1,000 Yuan fine. After she was escorted back to her home, the township illegally extorted another 500 Yuan from her.
On February 13, 2000, practitioners Feng Xinyan, Zhan Gentong, Mi Xinqin and some others went to Beijing to appeal. They were escorted back and tortured in the police station by Feng Qingfang from the political security section of the Pingshan County Police Station, and Lu Sufang, the deputy supervisor of Dawu township,(there were some other policemen involved as well). They forced Feng Xinyan to kneel down. Five or six of them used wood sticks and brooms to beat him at the same time. They beat him for more than two hours. In the end, the wood sticks and brooms broke. Zhang Gentong, Mi Xinqin were also brutally beaten. Later on, three of the practitioners were sent to the county detention center and illegally detained. Practitioner Li Shouer was detained there because she kept practicing Falun Dafa. During their detention, Feng Qingfang extorted 2,000 Yuan from Feng Xinyan, Li Shouer, and Mi Xinqin's family members, respectively, and he extorted 1,200 Yuan from Zhang Gentong's family.
On February 17, 2000, Hou Tongxiao, Lu Sufang, and some other executives illegally detained more than ten practitioners, including Feng Sihai, Feng Minhai, Xu Huaping, and Wang Yunduo for three days. They also took 3,000 Yuan from each of them. In addition, Hou Xiaotong and those with him broke into Feng Xinyan's house and confiscated his tractor and motorcycle. They also broke into Mi Xinqin's house and took a tricycle and four bicycles. Afterwards, they forced Feng Xinyan and Mi Xinqin's family members to pay 1,000 Yuan to redeem the property. But the bicycle taken away from Zhang Gentong's house is still in the township hall.
To prevent practitioners from appealing and clarifying the truth of Falun Gong, Hou Xiaotong and Lu Sufang once again broke into Feng Xinyan's home and took away his tractor on July 18th, 2000. They also took Zhang Gentong's electric carpentry plane and tractor, Mi Xinqin's bulldozer, TV set, and noodle cutting machine, and Li Shoue's bicycle. All of these properties are still locked up in the township hall.
On the evening of November 24, 2000, township officials and local police station officers arrested Feng Xinyan, Feng Sihai, Zhang Gentong, Mi Xinqin, Xu Huaping, Li Shoue and others--a total of nine practitioners for no legal reason. These practitioners were illegally detained for three days.
On the afternoon of December 30, 2000, township police station chief Huo Sanshuan and deputy Xi Huiting along with some policemen, drove police cars around and illegally arrested and detained Falun Dafa practitioners Feng Sihai, Zhang Gentong, You Jianru, Xu Huaping, Wang Yunduo, Mi Xinqin, Hao Yanxing, Li Yuanhai, Li Shoue, and Li Shoue's son. The practitioners went on a hunger strike in order to protest the government officials' ignorance of human rights and their violations of the law. They demanded their release. Rather than set them free, however, the township government and local police station sent three practitioners, Feng Sihai, Li Shoue, Mi Xinqin, to the detention center. They are still in detention right now.
The number of prosecution cases of other Pingshan County Falun Dafa practitioners is countless. The following records are only the tip of the iceberg:

The local government at each level of Pingsha, Hebei Province should enforce the law. Instead, they violate the law. Mi Chunyin, the secretary of the political-legal committee claims the central government has the following guideline: "The family can be ruined but the country cannot be broken up." As of December 31, 2000, the Xiahuai sub-county government has stolen huge amounts of cash from practitioners. They have illegally seized materials, including large agricultural machinery, trucks, grain, furniture, large household appliances, as well as small things such as kitchen utensils, clocks, table lamps, even electric irons, etc. The Xiahuai sub-county mayor himself urged the searches of practitioners' homes. He even supervised many of the searches. Falun Dafa practitioners only want the right to be good people. Should we be forced to lose our families, our jobs, all of our worldly goods and the full use of our bodies for this? Should we be tortured and abused for this? All kind-hearted people, please think about it; what has happened to "our" country and "our" governmentand who is the person who has wantonly destroyed the lives of "our" people everywhere?
