(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Hou Qiaozheng, 68, went to Beijing to appeal in July 1999 when the persecution began. She was arrested and sent back for one year of forced labor. On May 30, 2008, officers from the Heping Police Station broke into her home, ransacked it and imprisoned her at the Handan No. 1 Detention Center.
At around 10:00 a.m. on June 10, 2008, Hou Qingfen, Niu Weizhi, Shen Haihong, and Sun Wenhu, together with several other officers from the District Police Department and the Heping Police Station, intruded into practitioner couple Wang Xinzheng and Wang Xuwen's home and ransacked it. They searched their five rooms, including the ceiling of each room. They confiscated a booklet and two MP3 players and wanted to arrest Wang Xinzheng. Wang Xinzheng's father. Wang Xuwen explained the facts to them, but they refused to listen.
Police forcibly pushed Wang Xinzheng and her two-year-old child in her arms to the ground. They handcuffed her and let the child, who was crying in fear, fall to the ground. Police then dragged Wang Xinzheng into a police car.
Her father Wang Xuwen stepped in and demanded, "On what grounds are you ransacking our home and making an arrest? You are breaking the law as officers of the law!" The policemen flew into a rage. They took out a blank search warrant and filled it out in front of Mr. Wang. Then they ordered Wang Xuwen to sign it, and he refused. They then carried Wang Xuwen to a police car by force. Wang Xuwen's wife then discovered that the police had taken more than 10 thousand yuan in cash from a drawer. Wang's wife asked them to return the money, saying, "This is my personal savings that I have accumulated over a long time, and I cannot let you steal it." Then two police officers twisted her arms behind her back and said, "If you move even a little, we will handcuff you." Another police officer said, "Tie her up."
Wang Xuwen has since been released, but Wang Xinzheng was sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor.
At about 9:00 a.m. on July 14, 2008, Guangmingqiao Police searched Mr. Li Tongzhi's home, arrested him and confiscated Falun Gong information discs, copies of the Minghui Weekly and the book, Disintegrating the Party Culture. He was held at the Handan No. 1 Detention Center.
