(Minghui.org) In the evening on November 4, 2012, Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Peng Lin, Mr. Chen Ruichang, and Ms. Dagao were arrested and their personal items confiscated. They are being held in Tan Gang Brainwashing Center.

Ms. Peng was at home with her daughter, her 80-year-old mother, and another relative at around 7:00 p.m. on November 4, 2012. Officers from Guangzhou City's Shishu Street Police Station and the local 610 Office deceived Ms. Peng by telling her they were firemen checking people's fire alarms. After Ms. Peng's relative opened the door, around eight to nine people barged in and ransacked her home.

Ms. Peng's daughter asked them, “Do you have a search warrant? Why are you searching our home?” The police didn't respond because they didn't have any paperwork. They later got a search warrant and told Ms. Peng to sign it. When Ms. Peng's daughter argued with them, someone threatened her, “You'd better be quiet, I know your school principal.”

Two officers and a woman ransacked Ms. Peng's home until well after 9:00 p.m. They then tied up Ms. Peng's hands and feet and took her away. They confiscated many Dafa books and informational materials.

Currently, Ms. Peng's daughter is busy preparing for her college entrance exams and has to go stay at a boarding house, leaving her sick grandmother without anyone to look after her. Ms. Peng's husband divorced her because he couldn't to bear the pressure.

Ms. Peng's mother said, “Peng Lin has never taken other people's things. One time when I asked her to bring home rubber bands from her office, she said, “No. They belong to the public sector. I'll buy some with my own money.”

The next day, Ms. Peng's mother went to the police station to bring her a change of clothes. When she asked where her daughter was, she was told that Ms. Peng had been taken to the brainwashing center.

Also on November 4, 2012, at about 11:00 p.m., Mr. Chen Ruichong was arrested on his way home. The authorities confiscated Dafa books and some truth clarification VCDs. His son witnessed what happened.

Practitioner Ms. Dagao was also arrested that same day. She knew she was being followed.

All three practitioners are now in Tan Gang Brainwashing Center. If anyone knows more information regarding their situations, we would appreciate it.
