Brief description:
On March 1, 2005, policemen Ru Hongxi and Song from the Department of Administration and Security of the National Security Team of the Public Security Bureau of Qinhuangdao City, Pan Qiang, Miao Hui from the Zhucaoying Police station, along with others ransacked Ms. Zhang Fengying’s home and arrested her. During the arrest, the policemen also beat her husband and son. They were also taken to the police station along with Ms. Zhang and were not released until night.
The police took Ms. Zhang to the Funing County Public Security Bureau and tried to force her to tell them where she had obtained some Falun Gong books and materials, and where a copy machine had come from. Because Ms. Zhang refused to tell them anything, they tortured her. She lost consciousness and her body was shivering. The police had to take her to the hospital for emergency treatment. That night they locked her up at the Funing Detention Center.
In the detention center Ms. Zhang went on a hunger strike, demanding to be released. As a result, she was forced-fed. Fifteen days later, they took her to a hotel next to the Funing People's Hospital for a ten-day forced brainwashing session. Meanwhile, they harassed Ms. Zhang’s husband and son every day, threatening them in an attempt to get her to tell them where she had obtained the materials. They said that if she did not tell them, she would be sentenced to 5-7 years in prison. On March 17, Ms. Zhang's husband and son visited her. They found that she had difficulty speaking. She was even too weak to take care of herself, but she was still monitored in turn by several policemen.
After ten days, the police from Funing County went to Ms. Zhang's home and told her husband that on March 23, 2005 she had jumped from the second-floor and escaped. Her husband found it hard to believe. She had been tortured so badly that she was not able to take care of herself and was being monitored by several policemen. Therefore, he could not imagine how she would be able to run away.
Since then, no one has ever seen Ms. Zhang, and her husband has tried looking for her at relatives and friends places, but no one knows where she is. The local authorities did not provide any further information about Ms. Zhang to her family.
