Persecution Suffered by Ms. Cui Zhanyun from Yushu City, Jilin Province
2011-06-23
Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Gong in 1999, my home has been repeatedly ransacked. I have been detained several times and sent to forced labour camps twice. I went to Beijing to appeal against the persecution of Falun Gong in October 2001. I was arrested at my hotel by police. At the police station I was handcuffed, hit in the face, forced to kneel down and was beaten until I fell unconscious. My nostrils were also burned with cigarette butts. When I was taken back to my hometown, I was detained for 15 days and forced to pay 3500 yuan. I was then sentenced to one year in Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp, but after being held there for 16 days, I was sent back to Yushu and held in a detention centre instead. -
