Ms. Zhang Ying from Shanghai Is Under 24-Hour Surveillance Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Ying was released from a forced labour camp in September 2006. She is weak and slowly recovering at home. However, ever since September 28, 2006, people on six motorcycles have taken turns monitoring and following her 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Ms. Zhang lives in the Baoshan District, Shanghai. While she noticed that she was being followed, she drove directly to a local police station and asked if they were following her. The police officials denied this, but in the meantime asked her family to report her daily activities. Whether Ms. Zhang goes to her mother's or to the supermarket, a vehicle follows her. She and her family are constantly bothered, and her elderly parents are in a panic all the time, so they cannot lead a normal life. Ms. Zhang was sentenced two and a half years of forced labour in 2001 and was released soon after. When she went to the Dachang Police Station to register her residency, the deputy police station head, Yang, seized her and incarcerated her in Baoshang Detention Centre for 15 days without any legal documentation or paperwork. She was then transferred to Qingpu Legal System School (a brainwashing centre) and released later on. In September 2005, the still-recovering Zhang Ying was arrested at the door of her home. Participating in the arrest were Baoshang 610 Office1 agents and the local police. She was released in September 2006 and is now recovering at home. Mr. Lan Bing, Zhang Ying's husband, has been incarcerated in Shanghai Tilanqiao Prison for six years. He is located in Region No. 6 and is in poor health. He has high-blood pressure and retina disease clouding his vision and sometimes he experiences vision loss. His family is very worried about him and has requested the prison make proper treatment accessible to him. Contact information: Dachang Police Station, 1300 Hutiazhi Road, 86-21-56680748 Note 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.
