The Communist Party publicly cracked down on Falun Dafa on July 20th, 1999. Since then, practitioner Mr. Yang Huilin of Shenzhou City, Hebei Province, has suffered illegal arrest, imprisonment, extortion, and torture at the hand of the local 610 Office1 and police several times. His family finally broke down and fell apart. At the Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp, Mr. Yang was tied up and tortured with seven or eight electric-shock batons. His food was poisoned with the drug Ecstasy, and he was almost buried alive by the guards. After fleeing the camp, he had little choice but to be destitute and homeless for a long time. His wife, Ms. Yang Xiaowen, died from persecution.

Husband and Wife Arrested, Mother and Son Tortured in a Labour Camp

On December 18th, 1999, Mr. Yang Huilin and his wife, Ms. Yang Xiaowen, went to Beijing to protest the suppression of Falun Dafa. They were arrested on their way home and taken to the police station by the political and security section heads of Shenzhou City Police Department, Jia Shuangwan and Shang Yunhang. Four policemen beat Mr. Yang Huilin. They shocked him with high-voltage electric batons and slapped him in the face. He was detained until February or March 2000. He was not released until he was fined several hundred yuan2. His wife, Yang Xiaowen, was detained for more than one month.

In August 2000, Mr. Yangwas arrested again by the local police in Bingcao Township. The political and judiciary committee secretary, Song Qingzhuang, attacked him brutally to try to force him to give up his belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Yang Huilin did not yield to them, so they released him.

On December 18th, 2000, Ji Jie of Shenzhou City 610 Office and Song Qingzhuang led eight to nine others to arrest Ms. Yang Xiaowen. That night Jia Shuangwan and someone else arrested her son, Yang Deqiang. Yang Deqiang was handcuffed behind his back and thrown into the trunk of the car. This was witnessed by Mr. Yang's neighbour. On the way to the car, Jia Wangwan slapped Yang Deqiang on the face. At the city police department, Jia Shuangwan and Zhang Yuanxiang coerced a confession from Yang Deqiang by torturing him. They stepped on his cuffed hands and slapped him in the face for long time. Around 7:00pm, Jia Shuangwan forced Yang Deqiang to give his fingerprints and secretly sent him to the detention centre. Yang Deqiang refused to comply with them. Zhang Yuanxiang brutally stomped on Mr. Yang's head. Several others pummelled him with their fists and feet. He passed out several times and was then hit to wake him up. The police also fired a gun.

Later Jia Shuangwan and Zhang Yuanxiang took Yang Deqiang to a small hut. They made him lie on the floor with his face down. They took off his shoes and trousers and took turns beating him with a leather belt. Zhang continued when Jia got tired. This lasted for a long time. Yang Deqiang was so strong that he didn't make a sound. Later, Jia Shuangwan brought a bamboo torture device to ruthlessly hit the back of Mr. Yang's hands. Afterwards, he was locked up in a metal cage in the detention centre. Jia Shuangwan said, "Nobody can see him." Mr. Yang endured great suffering. He was mercilessly beaten by other criminals and was interrogated six to seven times a day. Almost every time, he was coerced to confess by means of torture.

On January 11th, 2001 Yang Deqiang and his mother, Ms. Yang Xiaowen, were "illegally sentenced3" to a labour camp for three years. At Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp, Mr. Yang Deqiang was tortured with electric batons, mercilessly beaten, brainwashed, force-fed ,and so on. The electric shock was done by 202nd squadron commander Zhang Li at the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp. Mr. Yang was mercilessly beaten by Bian Shuqiang. The brainwashing was done by Dong Yi. The force-feeding was done by the administration section police officer, Wang Jun. The guards also instigated criminal inmates such as Qi Jianliang, Wang Yuntao from Henan Province, Wu Shaomin from Liaoning Province, and others to mercilessly beat practitioners. Mr. Yang Deqiang was imprisoned for nearly one and a half years. His spirit was devastated and his body was extremely weak. He nearly lost his eyesight. He lost control of his bodily functions and had blood in his stool. Mr. Yang Deqiang was so brutally beaten by Jia Shuangwan and Zhang Yuanxiang from Shenzhou City that he had internal injury. Even now the bruises can still be seen on his buttocks.

Around 11a.m. on December 18th, 2000, Ms. Yang Xiaowen was arrested. At first, she was persecuted for one night at Bingcao Township Police Station. Later she was delivered to the detention centre. Twenty days later, she was sentenced to three years of forced labour. She was transfered to the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp. Ms. Yang Xiaowen did not cooperate. The guards' force-feeding caused her nostril to hemorrhage. She became weaker day after day. To avoid responsibility, the guards informed the Shenzhou City 610 brainwashing centre to pick her up. In April, 2001, Bingcao Township government brought her back. However, they wanted to extort 2000 yuan to release her. Through speaking to officials about the facts of Falun Dafa, Ms. Yang Xiaowen was released.

Husband and Wife Detained in a Brainwashing Centre

One day in August, 2001, before dawn, the Shenzhou City Political and Judiciary Committee Secretary, Yin Yuzhen, instigated the police to break in the Yang home. They arrested Ms. Yang Xiaowen and took her to the 610 Office brainwashing centre. She went on a hunger strike for ten days. She was as thin as a rake. Mr. Yang Huilin visited his wife during this time. Later, because the police did not want to take responsibility, they called the family to take her home.

Shortly after Ms. Yang Xiaowen returned home and before fully recovering, Mr. Yang Huilin was caught and returned to the brainwashing centre. Bingcao Township Political and Judiciary Committee Secretary Song Qingzhuang brutally attacked him. Several people encircled him and ruthlessly pinched his neck. This caused Mr. Yang to be unable to eat anything for a long time. He was released two months later.

On February 13th, 2004 police officer Jia Shuangwan and eight to nine other police, led by the Matun Village security guard, used the excuse of looking for practitioners who publicly speak out for justice to break into the Yang home. They arrested Mr. Yang and took him to the police station. About ten days later, he was transferred to the detention centre for further persecution.

At the detention centre, Mr. Yang Huilin overheard Director Zhao Enxue's telephone conversation. The one on the other end of the line said, "Why still keep him? Release him." Zhao replied, "No, no. I can't release him. I'll send him to the labour camp." Thus Zhao Enxue should be the person directly responsible for sending Mr. Yang Huilin to the labour camp.

Guards Plan to Bury Mr. Yang Huilin Alive before He Escapes

The Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp refused to accept any Falun Gong practitioners because there were too many of them. They could not "convert" that many. So the Bingcao Township local police station sent Mr. Yang Huilin to the Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp. There, Yang Huilin was tied up completely and shocked with seven to eight electric batons. They put Ecstasy in his food, but the drug didn't take effect. When two guards went over to him to look at him, and they found that Mr. Yang still opened his eyes, they were scared. They quickly went out the door and whispered, "How come his eyes are still open? How can we bury him like this? Alive?" Mr. Yang heard this discussion very clearly. He thought: "So vicious. I've got to leave here."

On September 5th, 2004, around 7:00 p.m., Yang Huilin took the chance when two guards went over to one side. He rapidly went down from the fourth floor, and passed through more than 200 metres of courtyard in the fifth brigade, bound for the south entrance. Under Master's merciful protection, he gracefully walked out, right under the eyes of two gatekeepers. Yang Huilin laid in a field of crops for three days and three nights. He passed through the police, layer by layer, and went out Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp with righteous thoughts. Unable to return home, Mr. Yang Huilin is now destitute and homeless.

Ms. Yang Xiaowen Died of Persecution

On April 14th, 2005, Jia Zhituo and Ji Yingqiu went to Yang Huilin's home to threaten Ms. Yang Xiaowen, his wife. They asked her to give them a one metre swath of her land on the south for no reason. Ms. Yang Xiaowen tried to speak rationally with them. Jia and Ji knew that they were short of reasons but still unceasingly harassed her. The two wouldn't leave until Yang Huilin's younger brother came.

The continuous persecution devastated Ms. Yang Xiaowen mentally and physically One morning, she suddenly fell to the ground and lost feeling on one side of her body. A hospital exam said that it was a stroke. After suffering for more than three months, she died on August 6th, 2005. Ms. Yang Xiaowen did not see her husband, Yang Huilin, before she died.

Currently, Mr. Yang Huilin is still destitute and homeless. The eldest son, Yang Deqiang, was the only one left at home to take care of the planting, and he withstood pain that an average person could hardly withstand. The younger son is still at college and lives in a difficult situation. His school expenses were paid by his relatives and fellow villagers. Now, he faces having to drop out of school because of financial difficulty. Mr. Yang Huilin's harmonious family was broken up and decimated by the persecution.

The fellow senior villagers of Shenzhou City and Yang Huilin's family suffered persecution only because they believed in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. How many families like Yang Huilin's have suffered such persecution?! No wonder some elderly people have said, "What a society it has turned out to be. It is dead. Do we, who have wives and children, brothers and sisters, ever think about what happens if we don't have the right to be good? Those who persecute good people are bad."

The universe will take over what humans have failed. The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is circulating and being read around the world. Nearly 14 million people have resigned from the Communist Party and its affiliated organisations. More than 30,000 people resign from the Party and its affiliated organisations daily. The days until the Chinese Communist Party is extinguished are numbered. We sincerely hope those who are closely aligned with the Chinese Communist Party to persecute Falun Gong practitioners do not continue to work for them for a few dollars, but instead back off, so that they may have a glorious future for themselves and their families. We also hope that all people of conscience step forward to stop this persecution and defend justice.

Those who participated in this persecution:

Yin Yuzhen is no longer the Political and Judiciary Committee Secretary of Shenzhou City. Li Guangxin is the present secretary.

Ji Jie and Wang Jinggang are still at the 610 brainwashing centre of Shenzhou City.

Jia Shuangwan and Zhang Yuanxiang are still at the police station (political and security section) of Shenzhou City. Jia Shuangwan is the director. His cell phone number is 86-13833825676. He lived in Beidatong Village in Tangfen Township of Shenzhou City. Now he lives at his brother-in-law's home at Xutuan Village in Anping County.

Tian Shining transfered away from Bingcao Township and is no longer the manager of the police station.

Bingcao Township Political and Judiciary Committee Secretary, Song Qingzhuang, already suffered retribution for his evil deed. He had a tumour on his heart. After spending more than 70,000 yuan on treatment, he died.

Jia Zhituo was dismissed from his position for embezzling more than 10,000 yuan by the end of 2001.

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.

2. "Yuan" is the Chinese currency; 500 yuan is equal to the average monthly income of an urban worker in China.

3. Illegally arrested: Contrary to what former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, who initiated the persecution, and the Chinese Communist Party would like the world to believe, practising Falun Gong is NOT illegal in China. Although the Public Security Department issued an unconstitutional set of restraints on the practice at the onset of the persecution in 1999, no laws have been passed by the only legislative body in China, the People's Congress, banning Falun Gong or granting the police the authority to arrest Falun Gong practitioners for practising the exercises or distributing flyers. For a more complete discussion of the illegality of the persecution of Falun Gong, please refer to the article "The Ban on Falun Gong—A Dictator's Whim, Not the Rule of Law". (Variation: "illegally sentenced")
