    Police in Jianyang City, Sichuan Province, Arrest Falun Gong Practitioners in Run-up to the Olympics
     

    Recently in Jianyang City, Sichuan Province, the police department, the State Security Bureau, and the 610 Office, along with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents in each township went around to illegally arrest Falun Gong practitioners. They jailed the practitioners at Er'ehu Brainwashing Center in Yingjie Town, Ziyang City.

    On June 23, Jianyang City 610 Office personnel harassed practitioners. They went to Pu'an Town and made plans to arrest Ms. Gao Qiongfang. She was not home at the time and, in order to avoid being persecuted, she was forced to leave home.

    The police went to ransack Ms. Wang Guihua's house in Dongxi Town, then they broke into Ms. Peng Xiuqiong's home.  To keep the neighbors from knowing what happened, they waited until 8 pm when it was dark, and then took her away.

    At 8 am. on June 24, 2008, the police took away practitioner Xie Dongyun of Wuli Village. At that time, Xie Dongyun was working in the fields.

    At 9 am. on June 24, a staff from Gujia Town informed practitioner Ms. Xie Siqiong of Wuli Village to go to a meeting. She arrived on time, but the police were waiting there. They dragged Ms. Xie away and forced her into the police car.

    When neighbors and co-workers asked why the police arrested these practitioner, who are upstanding and peaceful citizens, the Communist Party agents claimed that they were following orders from the superior level. These activities are due to the on-going "clean-up" efforts carried out against Falun Gong in China. August is quickly approaching, and the Olympics will be held in China soon. The local police and CCP personnel are under pressure to finish the secret assignments given to them by their superiors.
