The Illegal Persecution of Zhang Yulan's Innocent Family Members

Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province

Falun Dafa practitioner Zhang Yulan was tortured to death in the Wanjia Labour Camp. At about three o'clock in the afternoon on June 20, 2001, five people from the local government and the Public Security Bureau of Mishan Town came to Zhang Yulan's home. Since there was no one in, they went to her neighbour’s, inquiring about Zhang Yulan's birth date, education level and date that she started to practise Falun Gong. When the neighbour asked if Zhang Yulan was dead, they replied, "How do you know she died?" Her neighbour answered, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked for this information." As the five people came out of the neighbour’s house, they came across Zhang Yulan's husband, Xing Baozhong.

That night, Xing Baozhong, together with his second daughter-in-law and his third son, were taken to the Wanjia Labour Camp in Harbin. His second son was taken there the next day. The police first took the three to a guesthouse using the excuse that they could have a good rest. Instead of them having a good rest, however, they were put under house arrest. In the afternoon, the police brought them to an unknown place far away to stay overnight. The next day, three policemen informed them that Zhang Yulan committed suicide on June 20, 2001. The police also forced Zhang's family members to sign an agreement containing four terms by threatening that the family would be taking full responsibility for her death if they were not to sign. Details of the agreement remain unknown, however, one main condition is known. Her family members are not allowed to investigate the cause of her death. If they continued to investigate the death, the four were told they would be violating the law, and would be detained, or even put to death. The original copy of the agreement is under the control of the Mishan Public Security Bureau and the local government. After they signed the agreement, her body was shown to her family members. It was the police only and no one from the Wanjia Labour Camp handling this matter.

One month after her family members went back home, policemen from the Public Security Bureau pried open their locked door when there was nobody at home. They completely searched the house using the excuse that they were looking for Falun Gong books. At that point, the Xing's realized they had no choice but to leave home in order to avoid further persecution. After they left, the policemen again forced open the door and made another thorough search.

Before long, Zhang Yulan's second son Xing Defu was arrested and detained at the auto shop where he worked. Half a month later, he was sent to a labour camp. By the end of October, the police arrested and detained her third son Xing Delu without just cause. In addition, for no legal reason, the police confiscated his motorbike. It was later revealed that the actual reason was simply that they wanted to present Meng Qingqi, the director of the Politics & Security Section of the Public Security Bureau, with a "gift," in other words, to bribe him.

Worst of all, the police forcibly took the 200 Yuan kept with Xing Defu's six-year-old son. Currently Xing Delu is still unlawfully detained. The police have already forced him to pay them 13,000 Yuan [more than two years' income for an urban worker in China].
