(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Jiang Shilong's father-in-law's family members, whose minds were poisoned by the government lies and propaganda, reported him to the police. People from the local "610 Office,"* from the Political and Security Section and from the Kexinting Police Station ransacked his home and confiscated Dafa books and materials. At the time of the search, Jiang Shilong put a piece of paper into his mouth. The police pried his mouth open to force him spit it out, then pushed him to the ground and put a choke-hold on his neck. Jiang Shilong had difficulty breathing, yet the other police officer took a chopstick and tried to poke into Jiang's mouth. Jiang's mother cried and kneeled down, using her fingers to probe her son's mouth. The police finally stopped.

They had actually picked Mr. Jiang up at his work unit and taken him to his home for the search. He was later taken to a detention center, but the detention center refused to accept him because his body temperature was too high, a suspicious sign during this time of the SARS epidemic. The police handcuffed him and took him to the Employee Hospital of the Hunan Steel Alloy Factory and Xiang City People's Hospital for treatment of fever. After his body temperature returned to normal, police sent him to a detention center again. The detention center again measured Jiang's body temperature and it was too high. This was repeated seven or eight times.

In spite of everything, the police still locked Jiang Shilong up at the Kexinting Police Station. Later, Jiang Shilong broke away with righteous thoughts. Now he has been forced to leave home to escape the persecution and is having a difficult time.
