Police in Shuang Yashan City, Heilongjiang Province, Kidnap a 63 Year- Old Woman

Jiang's top hatchet man, Luo Gan, went to Heilongjiang and issued an order for police to detain 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners in the province, even by kidnapping. Upon that command, the public security bureau in Shuang Yashan City escalated their persecution of practitioners using all means to carry out the command. Within only one month, they arrested more than 100 practitioners just in this city.

At 3:50 AM in the early morning of May 2, 2002, the director of Wuo Hongqiao police station led three other policemen (among them was Mr. Lu) to the residence of Ms. Qin Yuping and kidnapped her, taking her to the detention centre.

Ms. Qin Yuping is a 63 year-old lady. Ms. Qin went to Beijing to appeal several times, and each time the police arrested and mistreated her. Her two sons and one daughter-in-law are also illegally detained due to their appealing for Falun Dafa. One son was illegally sent to Suihua Forced Labour Camp and another one was illegally sentenced to a 5-year jail term at the Shuang Yashan Detention Centre. The daughter-in-law has been arbitrarily detained for more than two months and was forced to leave a less than three-year-old son to Ms. Qin to take care of. Despite this elderly lady's suffering, she remains resolute in her firm faith in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

On the very early morning of May 2, 2002, Ms. Qin woke up to go to the public bathroom. When she opened the door of her room, the police rushed in. They stopped her from going out and forced her to urinate where she stood. The policemen ransacked the house and seized Teacher Li's portrait and some lecture tapes. Ms. Qin refused to let them take these things and the raised voices startled the sleeping grandbaby. The poor baby had already been deeply horrified by witnessing his own parents being taken away and feeling terrible for not being able to have contact its parents while visiting them in jail. So the baby started to cry loudly with one hand holding tightly to his grandma and his other hand waving and pleading to the police: "Please don't take grandma away, please don't take my grandma away from me." But with a 500 Yuan bonus awarded for each kidnap, the policemen force Ms. Qin into their waiting van and took her to the detention centre.

To protest her illegal detention, Ms. Qin went on a hunger strike, without eating or drinking for 15 days. During that period of time, the Detention Centre director, Mr. Bai Shuwen, led some policemen and other criminals to apply their barbaric means of forced feeding to her. The doctor attending, Mr. Xu Enjiang, cruelly forced the mouth opener into Ms. Qin's mouth to pump in salty corn congee (boiled corn with water). The brutal treatment caused her mouth to bleed severely. Then they locked her up and chained her to an iron chair. Later the centre director, Mr. Bai, saw the blood stains on her chest and was concerned about others knowing of their brutality. He was so upset he slapped the face of one of the criminals who had helped in the forced feeding. He told them to clean up all traces of what they were doing.

With her unbreakable faith and determination, Ms. Qin walked nobly and uprightly out of the detention centre after her 15-day hunger strike.

Nowadays, when we encounter Ms. Qin and talk, our conversation has to be carried out in a quiet way otherwise her grandbaby will cry out of fear. She said that, if people talk loudly, the little child becomes frightened, thinking others are taking his grandma away.
