(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Cao Yingchun, 59, was arrested again on Fumin Street in Mudanjiang City on March 11, 2014. She had been repeatedly arrested in the past for telling people the facts about Falun Gong. She is currently being detained at the Mudanjiang Detention Center.
Previous Arrests and Detentions
Ms. Cao was repeatedly arrested and detained for her belief over the past 15 years.
2004-2012
Ms. Cao was taken to the Harbin Women's Prison in October 2004. Prior to that, she couldn't take care of herself due to having been persecuted. She was first put in solitary confinement for 15 days, where she was handcuffed and shackled to a ground ring. She couldn't fall asleep for three days due to the tremendous pain. She was beaten and injured in February 2010 by the inmates who monitored her. She wasn't released until 2012.
2002
Ms. Cao was arrested by Chen Xianrui and other police officers from the Aimin District Police Department in Mudanjiang in early 2002, and her home was ransacked. She was forced to sit on an iron chair torture device for three days. Her lumbar vertebrae, ribs, and arms were injured from the torture. She felt terrible pain and suffered for a very long time. She was later sentenced to a ten-year prison term, but transferred back to the detention center due to poor health.
1999
Ms. Cao went to Beijing in October 1999 to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong. She was arrested and sentenced to serve three years in the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp in Harbin by the Yangming District Court and the Mudanjiang 610 Office. She was beaten in the forced labor camp. Her bladder was injured when she was pulled down from her upper-level bed.
Miracle from Practicing Falun Gong
Ms. Cao is from the Huayuan Community, East Pingan Street in Mudanjiang. She was a former bookkeeper at the Yangming District Orphanage. She resigned in 1992 due to poor health. She went to Harbin, Beijing, and other places, seeking treatment for her illnesses. However, she was diagnosed with “myasthenia gravis,” for which no effective treatment was available. She became bedridden.
She was fortunate to obtain the book Zhuan Falun, the main book of the spiritual practice Falun Gong, from one of her former classmates . She could again eat rice seven days after she began reading it, and she recovered and became healthy within a year. Her family and friends witnessed this miracle.
