Gong Xingcan before the persecution

Gong Xingcan in the hospital

Since Ms. Gong refused to renounce Falun Gong, she was sentenced to two years in a forced labor camp again. Ms. Gong was badly tortured at the labor camp. The policemen forbade her to sleep and to use the toilet. One day before the policemen were about to subject her to physical torture, Ms. Gong escaped from the cell, jumped from the fourth floor and landed on the third floor. She broke one of her legs and was sent to a hospital. She escaped from the hospital and became homeless.

Below are two X-rays of Ms. Gong's fractured leg suffered when she tried to escape from a torture session. The leg had not yet healed when she was sent to a labor camp again.

On April 26, 2006, Ms. Gong and another Falun Gong practitioner were arrested while on the way to Yancheng Town, Leshan City. They were sent to the police station in Yancheng Town. Ms. Gong had 12,000 Yuan cash with her, which the police confiscated.

On April 30, 2006, Ms. Gong was sent to Nanmusi Labor Camp in Zizhong City, Sichuan Province, which is known for brutally torturing Falun Gong Practitioners. Upon her arrival, four policemen pulled her into a solitary confinement cell, where she was badly tortured. Since she refused to renounce Falun Gong, she was so badly tortured that her face was deformed and she could no longer walk. Previous torture had fractured one of her legs, and this aggravated the injury. Even under such circumstances, the labor camp still held her in the solitary confinement cell. Her current situation is unknown.

Gong Xingcan and her deceased husband

Mr. Mu Yong, Ms. Gong’s husband, practiced Falun Gong in 1998 but quit because of the persecution. When Ms. Gong was persecuted, Mr. Mu was placed under huge pressure from 610 Office agents, people at his workplace and the police station. He fell ill under the immense pressure and had mental breakdown, he passed away in January 2003. He was 33.

The History of Persecution Happened to Ms. Gong:

Ms. Gong Xingcan went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong on December 9, 1999. She was arrested and Wang Qisheng, Deyang City Police Department deputy chief, took her to the Deyang City Liaison Office in Beijing. Deyang City Postal Bureau official Xiao Kaigui of Deyang City then took her back to Deyang. The Postal Bureau charged her more than 2,000 Yuan for the round trip from Deyang to Beijing. Hong Qi and Zeng Guangcheng, Deyang City State Security Division heads, arrested Ms. Gong and detained her for 15 days.

Later, the Postal Bureau officials complied with orders from 610 Office agents and sent Ms. Gong to a brainwashing center. Ms. Gong was detained there for two months and subjected to brainwashing eight hours a day. Postal Bureau deputy Chief Gan Bin was in charge of her brainwashing. Ms. Gong was deprived of basic freedoms.

Starting in 1999, the city 610 Office officials ordered the Postal Bureau and the police station to check on Ms. Gong on every "sensitive" date like New Years Day, Chinese New Year, "April 25", July 20 and October 1. The leaders of the Postal Bureau compelled Ms. Gong to come to the workplace on national holidays to keep her under close watch.

On July 1, 2000, police officers Wang Qisheng, Hu Qingsong and Chen Zhi arrested Ms. Gong at Jinhu Lake. They jailed her for 15 days and fined her 120 Yuan.

In the summer of 2000, 610 Office agents arrested Ms. Gong from her home and took her to Huaxia Hotel. While there, policemen Hong Qi and Chen Zhi forced her to attend a brainwashing workshop held by policeman Yan Dengshan from the Xinhua Forced Labor Camp in Mianyang City. A TV station videotaped the brainwashing workshop and broadcast fake news, saying that many practitioners gave up Falun Gong during the workshop.

On April 6, 2002, Ms. Gong was sentenced to a two-year labor camp sentence for explaining the facts about Falun Gong to people. On April 6, 2004, Ms. Gong refused to sign papers regarding her release. Jindong State Security Division officials ordered the Postal Bureau to pay her low living expenses and also to withdraw her living expenses for about half a year during her forced labor period.

The Postal Bureau's deputy head Zhang Lianghua has signed a contract with deputy bureau chief Ye Shaoyin, who was in charge of the persecution, and also with the City Bureau of Commerce, which tied Falun Gong practitioners' "reform" rates to financial bonuses and Bureau employees' promotions. Under pressure from the 610 Office, the officials not only refused to pay Ms. Gong’s living expenses, but also suggested to the 610 Office to extend her labor camp sentence.

Ms. Gong has appealed to the city Labor Arbitration Committee for justice regarding the persecution she suffered at the workplace even after she resumed her work. The Labor Arbitration Committee accepted the case and pointed out that her workplace had violated labor laws if the facts were verified. The Arbitration Committee also notified the Postal Bureau for a hearing. The Postal Bureau then contacted the 610 Office to exert pressure on the Labor Arbitration Committee and force them to drop the case.
