Comments on Current Affairs
At the end of May, Xinhua News Agency and CCTV reported that China's High Procurator decided that starting in May, they will conduct a yearlong special campaign, strictly prosecuting human rights crimes perpetrated by officials and employees of the state. A Falun Dafa practitioner (gender unknown) in Chongqing City saw this news, wrote down a detailed report on how the local "610 Office" (1) and police repeatedly abducted, detained, beat, and brainwashed Falun Dafa practitioners. The practitioner went to file the report with the Chongqing City Procurator, and requested that the procurator establish a case against these criminals based upon what the newspaper had reported. When the procurator saw the practitioner's report and the paper, he openly said of the newspaper, "This is just propaganda!"
Facts of the Persecution
Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Chen Jirong is a resident of Yaozhan Village, Qingyuan County, Fushun City, Liaoning Province. In the past, she was very sick, but her sicknesses were all cured after practicing Falun Dafa. After the persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999, her home was ransacked nine times, and she was taken away to the Fushun City Labor Camp three times because she refused to give up her belief in Falun Dafa. Ms. Chen was released three times, each time when she had been tortured to the brink of death. The third time when she was sent home, she suffered from brain damage, her legs were paralyzed, and she could not speak. The police still would not leave Ms. Chen alone, even under such circumstances, and continued to threaten and harass her and her family. The police extorted more than 10,000 yuan (2) from the family.
My mother, Ms. Wang Minxia, is a 47-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner in Jilin City, Jilin Province. With her two daughters, she went to Changchun City to appeal for Falun Dafa on the evening of July 21, 1999. They were arrested and taken to the police academy, where they were forced to stand for a long time under the blazing sun, beaten up, and hosed with cold water. When they were released the next day, the neighborhood office and the local police kept harassing them. On February 12, 2000, my mother and I went to Beijing to appeal, and were arrested and taken to the Jilin Liaison Office in Beijing, handcuffed to the heating pipes, and forced to sit on the floor for three whole days. They took away our 500 yuan cash, sent us back to be detained for 15 days, and then sent us to a brainwashing class. The local police substation and the neighborhood office forced us to pay 3,400 yuan. Now my family of four, including my mother, my two daughters and I have become destitute and homeless in order to avoid being arrested at home.
Li Mei, a young woman from the country in the Western region of Beijing, practices Falun Dafa. The practice benefited her whole family. However, she suffered a mental collapse after she was forced into a brainwashing class in the spring of 2001 by the "610 Office," and her condition is getting worse. The local "610 Office" sent her to a mental hospital for further persecution, but she soon disappeared from the hospital, and no one knows where she is. Her family has suffered a great deal since she went missing. Her husband was fired from his job, and no one is there to take care of her child. Her family was thriving because of her practicing Falun Dafa, but the persecution has now destroyed her family.
Perpetrators and their Crimes
Exposing a perpetrator in the State Security Team from the Shijiazhuang City Police Station in Hebei Province:
Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Sun Juxiang, almost 60 years old, is a farmer. Because she refused to tell the police her name and address, police officer Li instructed two plainclothes police officers to slap her face. Police officer Li felt the slapping was still not brutal enough, and he personally slapped her face until she passed out. When she woke up, police officer Li hit her forehead, and slammed her against the wall. She fell down unconscious.
