Name of Victim: Fan Xu, 30, Chinese male
Relation: Husband of Ms Deng
Location of incident: Beijing / Guangzhou, China
Description:
Ms. Qing Deng, Ph. D., is a computer engineer from Geldrop in the Netherlands. She has not seen her husband, Mr. Fan Xu for two-years.
Mr. Xu was studying for a Master’s Degree in Mexico before he returned to China in August 1999. It was also around this time that he began to practise Falun Gong.
Because he practised the Falun Gong exercises in public in Guangzhou, Mr. Xu was expelled from Zhongshan University. He was later arrested in Beijing after Falun Gong books were found in his bag. He was sentenced to 18-months in Tuanhe labour camp.
Reports are scarce on what happened to Mr. Xu in Tuanhe. However, he was released in May 2002 before his term ended. Mr. Xu himself has not spoken in depth about his experiences, because he fears a threat of a further 3-years in detention.
While in Tuanhe, Mr. Xu’s passport expired, leaving him with no way to obtain a visa and rejoin his wife in the Netherlands. Ms. Deng commented; “The last time I saw him was two years ago, I don’t know when I will be able to have a reunion with him”.
