At 7:00 p.m. on September 28, 2009, four police officers from the Binxian County State Security Bureau, along with Lou Wei, head of the Changan Town Police Station, and other officers from Changan Town Police Station, drove to the Dawang area of Daxing Village, Changan Town, Binxian County. Their cars had no registration plates and parked just outside of Dawang area.
They then quietly entered Dawang and broke into Ms.Yao Chunrong's home, where practitioners had gathered to study Falun Gong teachings together. The police arrested Ms.Yao, Ms. Cao Guozhen, Ms. Wang Xiuyun, Ms. Min Fang and Ms. Qu Zhangjian. They also confiscated Ms. Yao's personal belongings, including Dafa books.
