9. [Baoding City, Hebei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Wang Junxian from Boye County Becomes Handicapped as a Result of Police Brutality
Ms. Wang Junxian is from Boye County, Hebei Province. She was unlawfully sent to the Baoding Forced Labor Camp to serve a two-year term in 2002. As soon as she arrived, the police guards brutally beat, handcuffed and electrically shocked her. They also ordered her to face a wall, crouch down with her arms around her legs, and hold that position for days and nights on end without sleep. She came through all this with continuing determination in Falun Dafa and righteous thoughts. To try to break her will, the police then put her under strict supervision and made her do slave labor for 14 hours a day. In August 2002, she was taken to the fourth floor for more intense persecution. Police officers and criminal inmates grabbed her and smashed her head into a wall. She was also handcuffed for extended periods while being deprived of sleep. She was again forced to face a wall, crouch down with her arms around her legs, and stay that way for days and nights on end without sleep. The police also tortured her by electrically shocking her, cursing at her, and using a needle to pierce the soles of her feet. Overall, she lost the use of her left leg, became incapacitated and unable to perform the forced labor, and suffered from a tremendous amount of mental abuse.
10. [Huainan City, Anhui Province] Wrongful Arrest of Blind Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Zhang Jianjun
Mr. Zhang Jianjun, 32, is a Falun Gong practitioner. On December 17, 2003, several police officers suddenly broke into his home. After asking if Zhang was still practicing Falun Gong and getting an affirmative answer, the officers did not present any legal papers and tried to take Zhang into their police vehicle. Zhang was home by himself and he resisted the abduction by struggling and shouting for help. Neighbors heard him and came to persuade the officers to wait until Zhang's family members came back before taking him away. The officers ignored the request and sent Zhang to the brainwashing class held by the "610 Office," where he stayed for nine days. Mr. Zhang refused to listen to the slanderous defamation in the brainwashing class and resolutely declined to write statements renouncing Falun Gong. In the last few days in the brainwashing class, Zhang also went on a hunger strike. On December 26, he was sent home in a police vehicle.
This is another case of violation of the law by the Huainan City "610 Office" and police. The organizations responsible for this act are the Datong District "610 Office" and the Luohe Police Station.
