The Persecution of Three Female Practitioners in Xintian County, Hunan Province

Nov. 20, 2010 |   By a Clearwisdom correspondent in Hunan Province, China

(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Chen Juxiu, Ms. Lai Tumei, and Ms. Gu Jiuju from Xintian County, Hunan Province, were illegally arrested on the morning of October 17, 2010, as they distributed truth-clarification information about Falun Gong in Tangshi Town, Guiyang County. They were taken to the Liufeng Police Station and then transferred to the Guiyang Detention Center that same afternoon.

The detention center officials called the three practitioners' families on October 21, 2010, and told them to deliver clothing to the center. That same morning, Xintian County 610 Office agent Jiang Xianju, Chengdong Police Station head Deng Guobin, and officials from Longquan Town ransacked the three practitioners' homes. Between October 17 and 30, 2010, the Liufeng Police Station head led officers in interrogating the three practitioners in the detention center.

Liufeng Police Station head and other officers went to the detention center on November 1, 2010, and claimed that they would send the practitioners home. Instead, they handcuffed them together. The practitioners only realized where they were taken when the police vehicle stopped at the Baimalong Forced Labor Camp.

Ms. Chen was sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor, and Ms. Lai and Ms. Gu were each given a one-year sentence. After a physical examination in the labor camp and the hospital, a guard ordered Ms. Gu to sign a document stating that her health was good enough for forced labor.

Because the physical examinations disqualified both Ms. Chen and Ms. Lai, the head of Liufeng Police Station and other officers took them back to the Guiyang Detention Center that same day. The next day, the head of Liufeng Police Station and a driver took the two practitioners to the Chengxi Police Station in Xintian County. They called the practitioners' families to take them home after keeping the practitioners handcuffed for more than an hour.
