[Huaiyang, Henan Province] An 80-year-old Woman Actively Clarifies the Truth

There is an old woman in her 80's who is a Dafa practitioner in Huaiyang, Henan Province. After she learned that fellow practitioners were all engaged in distributing truth-clarifying materials to save people in this world, she became actively involved as well. She walked down a muddy and slippery path and went to a village 3 kilometers away to distribute truth-clarifying materials. By the time she got back home, it was already past midnight. To print truth materials, she used 1,000 Yuan [the average monthly salary is 500 Yuan in urban areas of China] that she had been saving for years.

[Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] Wicked Police Officers in Dumeng County Abduct a Dafa Practitioner

Prior to New Year's Day, a senior couple approaching 70 years of age went to post banners to persuade people to be good. A devious policeman named Lu Wei of the Central Police Station in Dumeng County tailed them. Lu Wei led a group of four or five policemen to conduct an illegal search of this couple's home. They further pressured the couple for the source of the banners. Currently, this couple is under detention on criminal charges. The wicked police have declared that forced labor "reeducation" was pending. During the detention, the husband suffered from a recurrence of heart problems. Ren Caijun, the chief of the Central Police Station, told the couple's family members that, "If he dies, it is to be counted as a suicide, so his death will be in vain."

Ma Baigang and other wicked police officers from Chengxi Police Station tailed Falun Dafa practitioner Song Shuqing. They then forcibly conducted a search of Song's home and placed Song under illegal detention.

Dafa practitioner Jiang Xiyou was on his way to the countryside to videotape his client's wedding ceremony when he was intercepted at the public transportation station. He was asked, "Why are you leaving home without asking for an absence permit?" They abducted him and detained him on the charge of "filing appeals."

Prior to New Year's Day, police abducted practitioner Zhu Yahe in Hujitumo. They broke into his home and dragged him out of his bed. He was placed under illegal detention and charged with "disrupting social order."

Elderly female Dafa practitioner Wang Xiuqing was abducted by policemen Zhang Haoyue and others, who conducted an illegal search of her home. The only cause was that someone claimed she delivered truth-clarifying VCD's. Although the police did not find any supporting evidence in her home, she was unlawfully detained.

Female Dafa practitioners Cui Ruhui and Li Hongying are still being held in custody after their terms have expired. Both of them have had an extension of two more months and remain in custody to this day. Cui Ruhui has been held for over six and a half months, and no one is taking care of her business at home. Her family members are having a hard time making a living. The daughter of Li Hongying is not being taken care of by anyone either.

Other Dafa practitioners who have been abducted or held in custody by police include Fan Yancai in Talaha and Hou Qingguo in Sijiazi.
