(Clearwisdom.net) On March 5, Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Shang Xiaodong, Ms. Yin Jun, Ms. Zhang Fengqin, and Ms. Yao Meiling, were arrested by police officers from the Changchun City Public Security Bureau and Nanguan Branch. The following day they were taken to the Third Detention Center in Changchun City. A month later, Mr. Shang, Ms. Yin, and Ms. Zhang were then "illegally sentenced" to forced labor without their families being notified.

Their families came to look for them, but were not let in. The police did not give their families any documents and did not allow them to visit. When their families went to the Nanling Police Station to ask for their bank cards, cell phones, and computers, the police would not give them back. They even claimed that the case was not closed yet, and they wanted to arrest more practitioners by monitoring their cell phones.

The Nanling Police kept Ms. Zhang Fengqin's bank card and would not give it back to her family, saying that they thought other practitioners had given her the money. In fact, the funds are from Ms. Zhang's personal salary.

For now, Ms. Zhang and Ms. Yin are detained in the Second Division in the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City. Mr. Shang was detained in Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City. We hope Falun Gong practitioners in China and abroad pay attention to their situation.
