Over a Dozen Falun Gong Practitioners Arrested in Chenzhou City, Hunan Province
On March 12, 2008, Mr. Zeng Lingqin, a Falun Gong practitioner, took his wife to the 4th People's Hospital for treatment. When he came out of the hospital, he was arrested by the local state security special agents who were waiting for him.
The police drove three cars. They forced Mr. Zeng into one of the cars and the other two went to his store and house. Because the business license was not his, the police didn't find anything they needed and left. From his house, they took away all Falun Gong books, CDs, tapes, truth-clarification materials, several-thousand dollars in cash, a computer, TV, DVD player, and satellite receiver. Mr. Zeng is now illegally detained in Tiziling Detention Center. No one takes care of his 80-plus-year-old father and wife, who suffers from illness.
On the afternoon of March 12, Hu Dongfu, Luo Xinqiu, Chen Liwen, Tang Xuelin and his wife-- about 14 Falun Gong practitioners in all--were arrested by the police from Beihu Police Station. They interrogated them until midnight. It was said that the 610 Office of Beihu District, Chenzhou City, was involved in the interrogation process. They didn't allow practitioners to eat dinner. These practitioners suffered from cold and hunger. Most of them were elderly citizens over 60 years old. That night, they were sent to Chenzhou Detention Center.
The next day, only Hu Dongfu, Tang Xuelin and his wife, three elderly citizens over 70 years old, were released and allowed to return home.
