In November 2006, agents from Huili City Police in Sichuan Province used money to lure innocent children to be their "undercover agents." They make the children go to Falun Gong practitioners' homes, and pretend to want information about Falun Gong, or to follow the practitioners, who are later arrested.

On the morning of November 10, 2006, the daughter of Mr. Liu, a Nanjiao Village resident and a neighbor of practitioner Li Zefen, together with several students from the village Xinhua Elementary School went to Li Zefen's home saying, "We like the Falun Gong bookmarks, and we want several more."

They also asked Ms. Li if she still had Falun Gong truth-clarification flyers, as they also wanted to read them. Ms. Li kindly received the children. She brought out stools and let them sit in her yard. Before long, two police vehicles arrived. Several police officers ransacked Ms. Li's home and took her away.

In the afternoon of the same day, it was again the Xinhua Elementary School students who followed practitioner Ms. Ma Lingxian, who had clarified the truth to them. It happened that Ms. Cui Deli, another practitioner, had just arrived at the school to pick up her granddaughter. Since the police tried to arrest Ma Lingxian but failed, they arrested Ms. Cui Deli instead and put her into the detention center. Later, a member Cui Deli's family asked the National Security police, "Why do they arrest innocent people?" The police replied, "For those we do not like, we can arrest whoever we want. It is not a big deal!" Four days later practitioner Ma Lingxian was arrested at her home. Li Zefen, Cui Deli, and Ma Lingxian were illegally detained for almost one month. They were later given sentences of forced labor and sent to the Nanmusi Forced Labor Camp in Sichuan Province.

It was heard that the police commended the students who had reported the practitioners and paid them each 10 yuan.

The police have used money as a lure to encourage and incite these elementary school students to commit crimes. The Huili City Police personnel are committing crimes against not only these children, but against society.

Huili City Police officers have been actively persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Since April 2006, policeman Yang Shaoliang has directed and been involved in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners in Huili. He first took practitioner Liu Tianhuo, a 74 year-old veteran, away from his home for detention, later sentenced him to three years of forced labor, and sent him to the Wumaping Prison in Leshan City. Later he arrested Dong Jiahe and Li Tianhuo when they went to the police department to tell the police the difficult situation of Liu Tianhuo's wife, who is disabled. The two practitioners were also given forced labor sentences and sent to the Xinhua Forced Labor Camp in Mianyang City. In December he sent Cui Deli, Li Zefen, and Ma Lingxian, who are over 60 years old to the Nanmusi Forced Labor Camp. Ms. Ma Lingxian has since been sent back to Huili City to serve her sentence outside the labor camp. Yang Shaoliang is so devoted to persecuting Falun Gong practitioners because he wants to divert his superiors' attention and hide his crimes of embezzlements, corruption, and law violations. The local residents are fully aware of the crimes he has committed.

Since the persecution of Falun Gong began, one of the Falun Gong practitioners in Huili has been tortured to death and twenty have been sentenced to forced labor, with ten still being detained in other regions. There were more than 80 arrests (this includes multiple arrests of individuals). More than 40 practitioners' homes were ransacked and they were illegally fined.

Sixty-one-year-old Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Xu Yongpei from Shapingba District, Chongqing City has once again been taken to a brainwashing center. This is the third time he has been arrested by Chinese Communist Party officials and imprisoned at a brainwashing center.

In his youth, Mr. Xu Yongpei once served as an army regimental officer. During the border war against Vietnam, he suffered from wounds, sickness and pain all over his body, which made him dependent on constant medication. He had to wear a steel vest to support his back, and a medicinal waistband around his abdomen. It was very difficult for him to take care of himself. He had to ask his work unit to reimburse him for medical expenses to the tune of about ten thousand yuan every year.

After he started practicing Falun Gong in 1996, his illnesses and pains vanished into thin air, and his family life also became more harmonious. Everyone said, "Mr. Xu Yongpei looks like a totally different person. He has also become younger."

In 2001, Mr. Xu was taken to a detention center by special agents from the Chinese Communist Party because he persisted in Falun Gong practice. Later he was forced to go to a brainwashing center for mandatory "re-education," but he never compromised. After six months he walked out of the brainwashing center with the help of righteous thoughts and in a dignified manner. After he returned home, the Chinese Communist Party officials, the police, and other busybodies never stopped monitoring, tracking, and harassing Xu Yongpei, but his determination in firmly cultivating Falun Gong never wavered.

In 2002, he was once again taken to the detention center and the brainwashing center. After being subjected to brainwashing for about six months, he still did not waver and once again returned home with the help of righteous thoughts. In 2006, Mr. X became homeless and destitute to avoid further persecution.

On the afternoon of January 6, 2007, Mr. Xu and his wife, Ms. Chen Ya, were walking the noisy streets of Yangjiaping in the Jiulongpo District. A group of people led by state security agent Ou Lichang from Shapingba District Police Department arrested Mr. Xu Yongpei once again, right in front of Ms. Chen Ya and everyone else. They took him to the city's notorious brainwashing center, presently located in the Wangxiangtai Country Club, Lushan Village, the Yubei District, Chongqing City.

Ostensibly, the reason for his arrest was that Shapingba District police and personnel from the political security section of Xinqiao Hospital had discovered two copies of Zhuan Falun in Mr. Xu Yangpei's home at Xinquao during an illegal search in November 2006. Ou Lichang, the officer in charge at the time, had threatened Xu's wife on the scene, telling her to pass on a message to Mr. Xu Yongpei that Ou would arrest him.
