(Minghui.org) Around 4 p.m. on August 27, 2020, Mr. Yang Zhanmin, a Tangshan City, Hebei Province resident, received a call from a residential committee staffer who asked him to go to their office, as the police were looking for him to answer some questions.

Mr. Yang went there. One officer asked if he still practiced Falun Gong. Mr. Yang confirmed that Falun Gong is a good practice and he surely wouldn’t give it up. He clarified the facts about Falun Gong to the officers and said that there is no legal basis for the persecution. He also urged the officers not to participate in the persecution, as all perpetrators would be held accountable in the future. 

“It’s you who have violated the law. It doesn’t do you any good to persecute Falun Gong practitioners,” Mr. Yang said to the officers. 

“Don’t mess with us,” one of the officers replied, before they left.
