(Clearwisdom.net) Female practitioners Ms. Gong Xier, Ms. Zhao Shulan, Ms. Fu Xiurong, and Ms. Li Xiuying were harassed and illegally arrested in Dezhou City, Shandong Province.
Ms. Gong Xier Arrested and Extorted
Ms. Gong Xier went to the Dezhou City Prison one day in March 2010, and put up a poster on the watchtower which read, "Falun Dafa is good." Two young guards on duty saw this and notified the police. Several agents from the Jianshejie Police Station arrived. They forced Ms. Gong into a police van and took her to the police station.
Police agents then drove to her home, but Ms. Gong didn't open the door for them. The agents broke in and confiscated Dafa books, CDs, DVDs, and her child's computer. They then took her to the Jianshejie Police Station and demanded 10,000 yuan from her son. Her son told them the money would not be available until 7:00 p.m. He gave the money to the police and Ms. Gong was released.
Ms. Zhao Shulan, Ms. Fu Xiurong, and Ms. Li Xiuying Harassed and Arrested
Ms. Zhao Shulan, 68, is a practitioner from Decheng District. Zhang Tao and another police officer went to her home on June 7, 2010, and confiscated computers and Falun Gong books.
After these two officers left Ms. Zhao's home, they went to the home of Ms. Fu Xiurong, another practitioner who is in her sixties. By this time, Ms. Zhao had already told Ms. Fu what happened. When the police officers saw Ms. Fu, they said, "We didn't arrest you, but you came here yourself. We are taking you to the police station." Ms. Zhao was able to escape while the police officers were busy ransacking her home.
The police officers confiscated Falun Gong books and truth-clarification materials. Then they took Ms. Fu to the Development Zone Chinese Medicine Hospital. A physical examination showed that she had both high blood pressure and high blood sugar. However, the police still held her for one night at the Dezhou City Detention Center, during which time her husband asked around for help. The police released Ms. Fu after extorting 5,000 yuan.
Ms. Li Xiuying is a Falun Gong practitioner in her fifties. When her husband, who is not a practitioner, went to Beijing on a business trip, he was found reading Zhengjian Weekly, and was fired because of this.
