On July 21, Dafa practitioner Wang Zideng was working at his home in Laiwu City, Shandong Province when over twenty policemen came to his front door and attempted to break in. After finding that their master key did not work, these officers, who had no warrant to search Wang's house, ignored warnings from Wang's family and proceeded to violently kick the door open. They ran into the room like mad wolves. Amidst their roaring shouts, an entire family of six was arrested. Wang's wife and his sister-in-law were wearing only tank tops and shorts. Both Wang's son and his niece were only two years old, but they were arrested along with the rest of the family. The police did not even allow the infants to be clothed, and arrested them naked. An officer named Tian Yugang then handcuffed Wang's sister-in-law (who doesn't practice Falun Gong) so viciously that her hands were bleeding. Wang was pushed to the ground by several policemen and handcuffed. All six members of Wang's family were forcefully taken away. Wang's wife told the policemen kindly, "You should not be this way any more, it won't be good for you." Deputy chief policeman Zhang Bingyin said, "Jiang Zemin dies first, then my turn." Some of Wang's family had to walk barefoot, as the police did not even allow them to put their shoes on. This scene took place around 10am, and many people witnessed it.
After the family was brought to the detention center, Wang's two-year-old son held on to the steel fence and cried very sadly: "I want to go home, I want to go home, wah...wah...wah..." His nose also started to bleed. The staff and even the prisoners in the detention center were all moved when they heard this child's crying. Some police officers had relatives living nearby who heard the little boy's crying. They came over to see what was going on and asked, "How come this little boy is detained here? Isn't he becoming 'The Little Radish Head' of modern times?" (Little Radish Head is a character in a Chinese novel who was the son of a Communist Party member and was jailed at very young age). The staff at the detention center repeatedly reported to the city police department that the little boy's nose was bleeding and that his mother had not eaten. They suggested that the boy be released, but their protests were in vain.
Even before this whole ordeal took place, the local government had taken severe actions against Wang's family because he practices Falun Gong. At the order of the police department, the village committee cut off the electricity and water supply to his house. His daughter has just graduated from high school; however, she didn't receive her graduation certificate. When the police went to her school to investigate, the school official told the police, "She is a very good student with very good moral quality. She's also the branch secretary of the Communist Youth League in her class. We can not lie about this." However, the police still overstepped their authority and forced the school official to not issue her a graduation certificate.
We can't help asking Jiang Zemin: As the president of a country, why did you go against the will of heaven and the people to seek personal gain, use tremendous amount of manpower, money, and other resources to persecute millions of your own kind citizens when the country's economy is at in extremely difficult situation? Is it true that you won't stop until the country falls apart and all families are destroyed?
