(Clearwisdom.net) (Correspondent from Hebei Province) After repeatedly being harassed by officers from the Yucai Street Police Station in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, Ms. Cui Lixin fled home. It was before October 1st, the 60th anniversary of the Communist conquering China. The officers did not find Ms. Cui, they then arrested Ms. Cui's husband and brother as hostages.

Tan Jun, political instructor, and Chu Gengsheng, director of the Yucai Street Police Station, repeatedly arrested practitioners, sent them to forced labor camps and brainwashing centers. These key persecutors plundered practitioners' money and valuables while searching practitioners' homes.

Ms. Cui has been repeatedly persecuted for her belief in Falun Dafa. In 2000, Ms. Cui was sentenced to 4 years in prison for appealing for her rights to practice Dafa in Beijing. Her son was only 3 years old.

In June 2007, several days after her mother passed away, Ms. Cui was arrested again by the police from the Yucai Street Police Station. After being detained at the Zhanhuang Detention Center for 15 days, she was released on bail due to a serious condition related to a hunger strike. Officers from the Yucai Police Station searched Ms. Cui's home when they arrested her. They seized Ms. Cui's notebook computers, a fax machine from her employer, a printer, a stereo system, cell phones, necklaces, watches, a camera, 6,300 yuan and bank deposit note of 36,000 yuan. After the family demanded the return of their properties on many occasions, the police gave the family a written acknowledgment of debt. Tan Jun claimed 5,000 yuan as "guarantee money" for Ms. Cui to "not go make trouble outside".

On September 28, 2007, before the Communist Party's 17th National Convention, officers from the Yucai Street Police Station arrested Ms. Cui at home. Tan Jun forfeited the 5,000 yuan which he took from Ms. Cui in 2007. Ms. Cui was subjected 15 months of forced labor.

In the beginning of 2008, Ms. Cui was released on bail from the labor camp due to her medical condition. She suffered gastric perforation. But before she recovered, during the Beijing 2008 Olympics, she was taken back to the force labor camp.
