The Huanan Forestry Bureau in Heilongjiang Province Detains Dafa Practitioners Indefinitely

Aug. 3, 2002

(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Xia Zhiliang from the Huanan Forestry Bureau was arrested by police on January 7, 2001 at his home, and was detained. Since Xia firmly believed in Dafa, he was sent to Xigemu forced labor camp in Jiamusi for a one-and-a-half-year sentence . Although he was tortured in the forced labor camp, he still didn't give up his belief in Dafa. On July 16, 2002, his forced labor camp term came to an end, but the Huanan Forestry Bureau police escorted Xia back on July 15, 2002, and kept him in detention locally.

Xia's family members went to ask for Xia's release, but the police station of Huanan Forestry Bureau replied: "No release as long as he is not transformed." The policemen paid no respect to the law, arrested people at will at their homes, and kept detaining people even though their unjust terms had ended, leaving Xia's wife and child helpless with a heavy burden of debt and mental suffering.

The Huanan Forestry Bureau detention center also jailed another three Dafa practitioners: Guo Ren-ai, Zhang Yu-qin, Cao Xiu-lan. Among them, Guo Ren-ai is a middle school teacher. Guo was detained by the suburban Beijing Changping detention center in January 2001 when she went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. She was released in May 2001 after hunger strikes. After returning home, she was detained once more. She went on hunger strike again to protest the illegal detention, and was physically very weak . Two labor camps have refused to accept her, but the Huanan Forestry Bureau detention center has detained her since May 2001 and has not released her to this day. Her life was in a critical situation several times during the detention period and she was hospitalized several times, but the detention center still won't release her.

We hope fellow practitioners who hear this news will send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil in other dimensions that manipulates the Huanan Forestry Bureau officials and the police station into doing evil deeds against our fellow practitioners.
