(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Liu Huiyun and Ms. Wang Guihua from Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, were illegally arrested on July 25, 2013, while speaking to people about Falun Gong at a local market in Tianyi Township.

After a street vendor called the police and reported them, three officers from the Ningcheng County Domestic Security Division, led by deputy director Xing Zuoli, took them to the county detention center.

The police then ransacked their homes and confiscated Falun Gong books, cell phones, software, banners, and radios.

All of their equipment for broadcasting New Tang Dynasty Television, a nonprofit TV station headquartered in New York that broadcasts uncensored news into China, was confiscated three days later. The nature of their detention was then changed from “administrative” to “criminal,” so that both practitioners remain incarcerated.

The county police department submitted Ms. Liu's and Ms. Wang's cases to the city level, but the cases were rejected. Nevertheless, both practitioners are still in police custody.

Mr. Zhu Guozhi and His Son Also Arrested

Mr. Zhu Guozhi, a practitioner from Shantou Village, Wuhua Township, Ningcheng County, was reported to the police on March 15, 2013, while distributing materials about Falun Gong with his son. The father and son were arrested by officers from the Wuhua Police Station and Ningcheng County Police Department's Domestic Security Division.

Mr. Zhu's son has been released, but Mr. Zhu remains at the county detention center.
