Case Description:
In order ensure a "Safe Olympics," the police have escalated the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in Zhucheng City, Shandong Province. Each community is being forced to closely watch all detained practitioners as well as those who are serving terms in forced labor camps. Local officials must make daily reports about each practitioner that is still under surveillance and any practitioners that they have lost track of. Beginning on July 9, 2008, officers in Zhucheng City have continually harassed practitioners. Several dozen have been arrested so far. On July 10, 2008, Developing Zone Police Station Chief Ding Bofeng (male) illegally entered Ms. Liu Xiumei's home located in Guanzhuandian Village, Shunwang Community, Zhucheng City.
