[Kaifeng City, Henan Province] Police Thoroughly Search City and Mass Arrest Dafa Practitioners
On the evening of September 26, 2002, policemen from every police station in Kaifeng City were dispatched to arrest Dafa practitioners, resulting in many arrests. It was said that Jiang's regime is using the 16th National Congress as an excuse to rampantly arrest Dafa practitioners. In order to prevent local practitioners from going to Beijing to appeal, Kaifeng City's Police Department arrested and detained many of the practitioners on their list and carried out extensive brainwashing. Each district is holding a 10-day brainwashing class.
According to policemen from Kaifeng City's Police Department, the higher authorities have reiterated the policy of implication. If even one Dafa practitioner goes to Beijing to appeal during the National Day Holiday, the first person in command such as the mayors, district directors and directors of police station could all be fired. Some Dafa practitioners' homes are under surveillance 24 hours a day, and lawless policemen even monitor and harass their relatives' and friends' homes. Some practitioners have been forced to leave home and live in exile.

On March 8, practitioner Ms. Jing Tian, around 30, along with her sister Ms. Jing Cai, around 30 and brother Mr. Jing Yu, less than 30, were again arrested. Policemen followed Mr. Jing Yu when he went out. They followed him to his residence and arrested all three family members there. Police also ransacked their house. As he was determined in practicing Dafa, Jing Yu was brutally beaten last year, which caused his lung condition to be aggravated. Now he coughs day and night, and he is emaciated. But vicious officers still attempt to illegally sentence them.
We hope overseas practitioners would call for help from the international community to stop this inhumane persecution against Falun Gong practitioners. Let us help rescue those kind-hearted practitioners out of this dark den.

They handcuff Dafa practitioners at the back and then force them to kneel down on the ground for as long as four hours.
