(Minghui.org) Harbin Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Sun Xiumin has been missing since November 1, 2012. Her family and the police did not know her whereabouts. It was discovered that she had been sent to the Qianjin Forced Labor Camp. Two other Falun Gong practitioners, Ms. Yan Jinxia and Ms. Gao Hongxia, were also taken to the labor camp at about the same time.
On the evening of November 1, while Ms. Sun Xiumin was posting truth-clarifying materials in a corridor, she was reported. The police arrested her and took her to the Songhuajiang Police Station. They handcuffed her to a bench for the entire night. On the morning of November 2, she was taken to the Nangang Police Department and then to the Second Detention Center at noon. She went on a hunger strike for four days and was force-fed. She clarified the truth to the police and detainees. The police promised to release her after 15 days, and then she started to eat. However, on the morning of November 14, police from the Nangang Police Department came and announced that she had been sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor. When they tried to draw blood from her and take photos, she did not cooperate and called out "Falun Dafa is good!" The police thus hit her.
During the hunger strike, she and Ms. Yan, who was also taken to the labor camp on November 14, called out, "Falun Dafa is good," and sang uplifting songs together. On the morning of November 19, the prison guard called them to a corridor, and they again called out and sang songs. Other detainees applauded and clapped and gave them a thumbs up in support. They were later taken to the director's office. They tried to clarify the truth to the director, but he refused to listen and said things to slander Dafa.
Ms. Yan Jinxia lived in Shuangcheng City. She came to Harbin to work at odd jobs. On November 13, when she was distributing Shen Yun discs, she happened to give a disc to a plainclothes policeman, who in turn handcuffed her and took her to the Second Detention Center at midnight. Both Ms. Sun and Ms. Yan refused to sigh the documents and began a hunger strike until November 19. The guards separated them and put them in different cells.
Several staff members from the Xinglong Township government came to Ms. Gao's home at noon on November 5, but they didn't find her. The party secretary later also went to her home. Within a one-hour time period, staff from the Wuchang City Political and Legal Affairs Committee, 610 Office, Xinglong Township government, and police station came to her home to arrest her, with the excuse that she had put up a dozen Falun Gong banners in the village. They were enraged when they learned that the Minghui website had mentioned Ms. Gao being harassed in July. Ms. Gao Hongxia was arrested on November 5 and was taken to the Harbin Detention Center.
All three practitioners are being incarcerated at the Qianjin Forced Labor Camp.
