(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Zhang Shengrong, 70 years old, is a Falun Dafa practitioner in the Wuhou District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. In April 2009, Ms. Zheng hired a lawyer to get her son, Tao Yuan released from illegal detention. Mr. Yuan is also a Falun Dafa practitioner, and was secretly arrested by the police. To deter him from taking on the case, police officers from the Integrated Management Office beat and injured the lawyer, Mr. Cheng Hai. After the incident was exposed in the media, many people, both inside Mainland China and overseas, have condemned the police's action. The local police have arrested Ms. Zhang and taken her to a brainwashing center.

Since 2005, Jinyang police officers have been harassing Ms. Zhang Shengrong. Especially after the exposure of Attorney Cheng's beating, the Jinyang Street's Integrated Management Office sent six people, divided into three groups, to follow and monitor Ms. Zhang around the clock. When she stays home, those people sit outside of her building. When she goes out, they follow her everywhere.

When Ms. Zhang returned home for a consultation with the lawyer, they found that the lock on the door of her home had been changed by the police, and Ms. Zhang could not use her key. She had to get a locksmith to open the door.

Ms. Zhang Shengrong and her son are both Falun Dafa practitioners. Both of them have been persecuted repeatedly since the persecution began in July 1999. Ms. Zhang was illegally detained multiple times. From December 26, 2001 to March 21, 2005, she was detained in the Jinhua Brainwashing Center in Wuhou District for more than three years. She was followed and harassed afterwards. Her son, Mr. Tao Yuan, was a graduate student in the History Department of Beijing's Normal University. After being illegally arrested, detained and put in a forced labor camp several times, Mr. Tao was secretly sentenced in January 2007. He is currently being held in the Guangyuan Prison.

On March 27, 2009, Ms. Zhang Shengrong received a phone call from the Guangyuan Prison. The guards told her that her son had a cervical dislocation and needed an operation. Ms. Zhang hired a lawyer and tried to get her son released for medical treatment. During a meeting with Ms. Zhang, the lawyer was beaten and injured by officers from the Jinyang Street's Integrated Management Office.

Since the beginning of May, all connections to Ms. Zhang have been cut off. Later, it was learned that she has been detained in a brainwashing center.
