(Clearwisdom.net) On July 30, 2008, a few days before the Olympic Games in China, police officers Tang Yuangui from the Hechuan District State Security Section in Chongqing and Xiong Ping from Nanjin Street Police Station in the Hechuan District arrested Ms. Jiang Dejun on the street. They took her to a detention center. They ransacked her home and confiscated a set of Falun Dafa lecture tapes to use as evidence to sentence her to a year and a half of forced labor. Ms. Jiang was put in Chongqing Municipal Women's Forced Labor Camp. She was forced to do slave labor and undergo brainwashing tactics.
On January 29, 2010, Ms. Jiang returned home. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officers not only kept interfering in her life, but also hired unemployed people to follow and monitor her.
On August 27, 2010, Ms. Jiang went to visit one of her relatives. Two unknown individuals followed her. They asked the security guard there, “Who lives here? What's their relationship with Ms. Jiang Dejun?” They also ordered the security guard to call them when Ms. Jiang left. This created a lot of pressure on Ms. Jiang's relatives and interrupted their regular lives.
Ms. Jiang has practiced Falun Gong since February 1998. She has been imprisoned in detention centers several times in the past ten years.
Imprisoned for More Than a Month in 2000
In March 2000, several officers from Nanjin Street Police Station arrested Ms. Jiang at a class without an arrest warrant. They detained her in Nanjin Street Management Office for two weeks. On July 6, 2000, she was again arrested and detained by Nanjin Street Police Station officers. She was held in the detention center for over three weeks.
The Police Pull Her Ears and Step on Her Legs in 2005
In January 2005, after some loud speakers were set up on the street to broadcast the truth of Falun Gong in the Hechuan District, the police started a campaign of massive arrests. Lan Qifeng, Tang Yuangui, Jiang Guanglian, Zhao Wenli, Feng Yun and other policemen from the Hechuan District Domestic Security Team arrested Ms. Jiang Dejun on January 19, 2005. They interrogated her at the Hechuan Police Department for an entire night. They handcuffed her and forced her to sit on the ground. During the interrogation, Qi Lanfeng viciously pulled her ears while cursing her. Jiang Guanglian repeatedly stepped on her legs, with great deliberation. Her whole leg was bruised and purple, but luckily no bones were fractured. Bearing the great pain, she kept telling the police that Falun Gong practitioners were good people that cultivated Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
The next day, Ms. Jiang was taken to Hechuan District Detention Center. The police interrogated her every few days, trying to find out who had hung the speakers. When their interrogations did not yield any answers, Feng Yan swore and slapped Ms. Jian in the face.
After detaining her for over three weeks, the police told her family to pay 3,000 yuan to bail her out. But after they got the money, Lan Qifeng and Zhao Wenli took Ms. Jiang to Nanjin Street Brainwashing Center in Hechuan.
On October 27, 2005, Wu Jianjun, director of Heyang Management Office in the Hechuan District, and other two people strip-searched Ms. Jiang in the brainwashing center as an insult. They found a Falun Gong book in her room and used it as an excuse to imprison her in the Hechuan District Detention Center for another 15 days. Afterwards, they took her back to the brainwashing center. Since she didn't give up her belief and refused to write the Three Statements to denounce her cultivation, she was taken to Nanshan Brainwashing Center in Chongqing in December 2005. She was not released until March 2006.
