Ms. Zhang Rongjie in Critical Condition at the Baoding City Detention Centre
According to a reliable source, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Rongjie is in terrible condition while being held at the Baoding City Detention Centre. On March 1st, Zhang Rongjie asked to meet with her lawyer. She could not walk to the meeting room after the lawyer arrived, and the detention centre authorities refused to let the lawyer go to her cell. An inside source revealed that Zhang Rongjie is likely to be hospitalised and is in critical condition. Ms. Zhang Rongjie, Mr. Zhi Zhanmin, Mr. Wei Haiwu and Mr. Lui Yongwang from Beijing were arrested on August 7th, 2005. They are being held and mistreated at the Baoding City Detention Centre. Zhang Rongjie has been holding an on-and-off protest hunger strike and was at the brink of death several times. She was held at the Baoding City Legal Hospital for about one month. On February 17th, 2006, the Baoding City Court tried four practitioners in connection with tapping into the cable TV system to broadcast Falun Gong content. The trial was in violation of the Chinese constitution. Zhang Rongjie was skin and bones and could not walk. The police dragged her into the courtroom. She could neither stand nor sit. The police held her throughout the court proceedings. According to legal experts, there is no law under which Dafa practitioners can be convicted, yet Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials from the Baoding City Politics and Law Committee, from the Xinshi District Politics and Law Committee and from the Xinshi District 610 Office1 interfered with the case. These three agencies, particularly the 610 Office, have constantly schemed and committed crimes against Dafa practitioners over the past six years, even though the practitioners continuously tell the facts about Falun Dafa to them. Officials Responsible for the Persecution: Wang Huiping: deputy head of the Baoding City Party Committee, Baoding City Politics and Law Committee, 86-312-3089066
1. "The 610 office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
