(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Sun Fudi, 57, from Xinglongbao
Village, Jiahe Town in Pulandian City, which is under the
jurisdiction of Dalian City in Liaoning Province, started
practicing Falun Gong in February 1998. Before that she suffered
from numerous illnesses, including pain along her sciatic nerve,
low blood pressure, tuberculosis, bronchitis, and stomach problems.
She also had a bad temper and often fought with her husband over
financial problems. When she started practicing Falun Gong and
began to follow the principles of
Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, all her illnesses disappeared
and her temperament changed for the better.
Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started the nationwide
campaign to suppress Falun Gong, Ms. Sun has been illegally arrested and incarcerated numerous times. On July 20, 1999, she
was arrested when she went to Pulandian to appeal for Falun Gong.
On the evening of July 22, she was taken to the police station in
her hometown and was locked in a small room of about 6 square
meters. She was also forced to watch programs that slandered Falun
Gong.
Wang Guojing, the village CCP secretary, and Wang Xuanfu, head of Xinglongbao Village, went to Ms. Sun's workplace on April 10, 2000, and demanded to know if she still practiced Falun Gong. Ms. Sun said that she did. They told her that if she said she no longer practiced, they would not report her to the police, otherwise they would have to. Ms. Sun firmly told them, “I do practice Falun Gong.”
The head of the Political and Judiciary Committee and four
police officers forcibly removed Ms. Sun from her workplace on the
morning of April 11, and took her to the police station. Head of
the police station Liu Wei, head of the political department Chen,
and an officer with the surname Zheng took turns trying to force
Ms. Sun to give up her belief. Ms. Sun refused. At around 3:00 p.m.
the officers took her to the city police department, and later
transferred her to the city detention center, where she was held
for 78 days.
Ms. Sun and two other practitioners went to the Lianshan area on
May 11, 2001. Several police officers followed them and tried to
take them to the police station. When the practitioners refused to
cooperate, the officers dragged and carried them there. Ms. Sun's
uncle and her 73-year-old mother were taken to the police station
that afternoon. They tried to use her family members to force Ms.
Sun to stop practicing. The police told her that if she agreed to
write a guarantee statement to stop practicing, she would be
allowed to go home with her mother. Ms. Sun refused to comply. That
night, Zhang Qinghai, head of the police station, shocked her with
an electric baton while shouting, “You still want to practice?”
Sheng, a police instructor, held Ms. Sun on the ground and stood on
top of her. Sheng and Zhang continued to shock Ms. Sun with
electric batons for a long time. They would not let her stand or
sit and ordered her to lean down with her weight pressing on the
back of her legs. When she asked to use the restroom, Zhang told
her to go in her pants. Ms. Sun was left handcuffed throughout the
night.
Officers from the city police department came to videotape Ms. Sun
the next morning. She refused to cooperate and did not face the
camera. After the recording, Sheng kicked her twice and pulled
clumps of her hair out with his hands. Ms. Sun and other
practitioners were taken to the city police department that
afternoon. They were then taken to the Criminal Team in the
evening, where Zhang Lianqun and another officer, also with the
surname Zhang, interrogated them. They deprived the practitioners
of sleep for 48 hours and then transferred them to a detention
center. Ms. Sun was given a two-year sentence on July 9, 2001, and
taken to the Dalian Forced Labor Camp.
When Ms. Sun was on her way home on the morning of June 23, 2009,
after working in the fields, Wang Xuanfu and plainclothes officers
from the Harbin Road Police Station, Pulandian City Police
Department ,and the Jiahe Police Station followed her. They found
her house key and forcibly searched her home. The officers
confiscated copies of Master's lectures, a computer, printer, DVD
burner, and many other personal belongings. Ms. Sun was taken to
the Harbin Road Police Station and transferred to the Yaojia
Detention Center that afternoon.
Ms. Sun was held at the detention center for over 50 days, and her
family members were not allowed to visit her. She was sentenced to
two years in Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City on August
14, 2009. The guards brutally tortured her and forced her to remain
in strenuous positions for long periods of time. She was also
handcuffed and punched in the face. The guards made her listen to
slanderous propaganda about Falun Gong.
Ms. Sun was diagnosed with excess fluid in her abdomen in March 2010. In order to avoid being held responsible for her poor health, camp officials released Ms. Sun on April 20, 2010.
Officers and prison guards who personally participated in the torture of Ms. Sun include Zhang Jun, Zhang Huan, Zhang Zhuohui, Zhang Lei, and Fang Yehong, among others.
