(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Ye Huiming, a teacher at Xinxiang City Judicial Officials' School, has been subjected to arrest, detention, and long-term surveillance.

Ms. Ye graduated from Southwest University of Political Science and Law in Chongqing in 1994. She began the practice of Falun Gong to cure her rheumatoid arthritis. She strictly followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and regained her health.

After Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, and their clique started the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, Ms. Ye traveled to Beijing to appeal on behalf of the practice in April 2000. Xinxiang County Police Department officials held her in the county detention center for a month after she returned from Beijing.

After the staged "Tiananmen self-immolation" incident in 2001, Ms. Ye wrote to the director-general of the Justice Department to clarify the facts. As a result, her employer sent her three times to be "reformed" at the Shibalihe Women's Forced Labor Camp in Zhengzhou City.

Ms. Ye's employer has withheld the majority of her wages and bonuses since 2004.

On June 30, 2006, Muye District Police Department Domestic Security Division officer Qian Lin, along with a group of officers, broke into Ms. Ye's home and confiscated a computer, printer, DVD player, audio recorder, MP3 player, and Falun Gong materials, valued at nearly 10,000 yuan. They took Ms. Ye to the detention center, where she was held for 15 days.

Since April 2008, Xinxiang Judicial Officials' School leaders have kept Ms. Ye and another retired employee practitioner under surveillance around the clock. They turned what were originally welfare fees into a "persecution fund," which is being used to award those who participate in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Every employee that monitors practitioners can obtain over 10,000 yuan from the persecution fund each year. The school authorities have also linked the issuance of the persecution reward to school officials' year-end assessments. Only if their year-end assessment reaches 100 percent "excellent" rate will they be granted 100 percent of the persecution reward. Some individual employees went off the deep end about receiving the persecution award and took advantage of that policy. They followed Ms. Ye closely wherever she went, made phone calls to harass her, and frequently went to harass her at home.

Danyang Police Station officers Zhang Baoliang, Dong Fazhan, Cheng Weidong, and others, with the cooperation of those who monitor practitioners--including Ma Sizhen, Zhao Yongmei, and Wang Jihong--broke into Ms. Ye's home on September 17, 2008, and again on May 27, 2009, and confiscated Falun Gong materials, a notebook computer, an MP3 player, and other valuable items. They also held Ms. Ye at a detention center twice for a total of 15 days.
