Ms. Wang Hongxia was an employee of Huaibei City Power Plant in Anhui
Province. In October 2001, she was arrested by police while clarifying the
truth. She was thrown into the Second Detention Center. After five months of
torture, she had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. One week after
she was hospitalized, she passed away at the age of 44.
Between October 12 and 15 in 2001, a high tech forum was held in Huaibei
City. Starting from the end of September that year, the police began arresting
Falun Gong practitioners. Many practitioners were closely monitored by their
workplaces, community offices, and local police stations. They were not allowed
to go outside, and their family members suffered tremendously as a result.
At the end of 2001, the Huaibei City 610 Office ordered each workplace to
send its practitioners to brainwashing classes, and pay 3,000 yuan
to the classes to arrange for a non-practitioner employee to monitor the
detained practitioners in the classes.
Since 2001, the Huaibei Police Department launched an incentive system, in
which police who caught one practitioner would be given certain points, with
each point worth 50 yuan. Tao Changxin, political security section chief in
Xiangshan Police Branch Office, gained 50 points in just a few days in May, and
she got 2,500 yuan as a bonus. Huaibei Police Department chief Wang Jingcai
arrested many practitioners around July 2001. Later on in 2003, he was arrested
on the charge of accepting bribes.
