(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Huang Yonggui from Wanzhou District, Chongqing was persecuted so severely that she suffered memory loss and was in critical condition. However, police officers from the Zhonggulou Police Station and the Baiyan Police Station of the Wanzhou District Police Department still tried to arrest her for further persecution on the morning of March 28, 2011.
On January 8, 2011, Ms. Huang was beaten unconscious during her arrest. Her relatives and friends worried that the police would torture her to death, so they took her out of the hospital and took care of her at home. Twenty days later, Ms. Huang regained consciousness, but not her memory.
When Ms. Huang was still in critical condition, Xin Jianguo and other officers from the Zhonggulou Police Station and the Baiyan Police Station of the Wanzhou District Police Department broke into Ms. Huang’s home and ransacked it. Without any explanation, the police officers attempted to take Ms. Huang to the Zhonggulou Police Station for further persecution.
Ms. Huang Yonggui, 57, lives in the Beishanfengshou Residential Area of Wanzhou District, Chongqing. She began to practice Falun Gong in 1997. Her various illnesses quickly disappeared after that. She refused to give up her spiritual belief when the Communist regime's persecution started, and as a result has been subjected to persecution many times.
In 2001, Ms. Huang was detained in a brainwashing center located in Wanzhou District Tax Bureau Hotel for one year and eight months. During detention, she was subjected to various kinds of torture. In 2004, Ms. Huang was once again detained at the same brainwashing center, and later at the Jingkou Brainwashing Center in Chongqing for a year. On May 25, 2009, Ms. Huang was sent to the Chongqing Women's Forced Labor Camp and was subjected to one year and three months of forced labor. She was not released until August 2010.
After Ms. Huang returned home, officers from the Wanzhou District Police Department continuously harassed and persecuted her. They constantly sent policemen to monitor and harass Ms. Huang. Sometimes, the police even broke into her house, threatening to arrest her. On January 8, 2011, Ms. Huang was arrested by local police officers while shopping at the Chongbai Marketplace. The police tortured her to near death. In order to evade responsibility, local police transferred her to the Baiyan Police Station. Seeing Ms. Huang was in critical condition, officers from the Baiyan Police Station sent her to the Wanzhou District No. 3 Hospital. Ms. Huang was in a coma at that point.
The doctors gave Ms. Huang injections and an intravenous drip. However, she did not recover at all. Instead, she went into shock and was left in a vegetative state. The doctors planned to operate on her. Ms. Huang’s family were worried that such an operation could be used as another form of persecution by the authorities and therefore requested to bring her back home. But the officials from the Baiyan Police Station denied the request, and demanded that Ms. Huang’s son write a statement in which he had to promise to send Ms. Huang back to the police station after she recovered. Desperate to get his mother out of there, Ms. Huang’s son signed the letter and brought Ms. Huang back home.
Although Ms. Huang was unconscious and in critical condition, the Wanzhou District Police Department still sent police to watch her home, waiting to arrest her again. Twenty days later, Ms. Huang regained consciousness, but still had no memory. She couldn’t recognize anybody or speak.
With relatives’ and friends’ good care, Ms. Huang could walk with the help of others, and became able to speak intermittently. Hearing that Ms. Huang was able to walk, Xin Jianguo and other officers from the Zhonggulou Police Station broke into her home on the morning of March 28, 2011. They ransacked her home and took away many personal belongings. Without showing a warrant or giving an explanation, the police officers tried to forcibly take Ms. Huang to the police station again.
Witnessing the police officers’ evil deeds, Ms. Huang’s relatives and neighbors came out and chastised them, saying, “Why do you still want to persecute her? She is in critical condition! She can barely speak and has lost her memory. How evil are you? How can a human being do such horrible things to a helpless, sick woman?” Facing the neighbors' indignation, the officers were forced to leave.
Although Ms. Huang was unconscious in bed and still suffered from amnesia, two police officers went to her home again on April 1, 2011. They had a letter of sentencing which stated that Ms. Huang had to serve a one-year sentence outside prison, under surveillance, and forced Ms. Huang to sign it.
