I. Detaining Falun Dafa practitioners does not require any reason

1. Around the July 20, 2000, some practitioners (the majority of whom have been detained before because of appealing in Beijing) received summoning phone calls from the local Police Station. In the station, as long as they respond with "yes" to questions concerning "Will you practice or not", they will be sent to a detention centre, and then transferred to Masanjia labor camp, for the reason of "Possibility of going to Beijing". There was no need to go through any procedure, not even informing their families.
