(Clearwisdom.net) Since October 30, police in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province have arrested eighteen Falun Dafa practitioners, including Dong Ailing, Wen Shuoyan, He Lifang, Shi Guihua, Li Yukun, Li Caiyun, Duan Fengqin, Shi junior, Zhang Ruilian, and Zhang Yan. The practitioners are all "illegally imprisoned" at the Taiyuan City Detention Center.

Practitioner Ms. Li Yukun, over 40, from Taiyuan City, lived at Taoyuan Road. On Saturday, November 25, at 7:00 a.m., four people from the National Security Division of the Police Department in the Xinghualing District of Taiyuan City took her from her home, claiming that she was accused of distributing copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. On November 26, Ms. Li was illegally imprisoned at the Taiyuan City Detention Center.

On November 14, 2006, officers from the Sanqiao Police Station in the Xinghualing District arrested three practitioners, including He Lifang and Shi Guihua; the details require further investigation. Among the instigators is Deputy Chief Shang Hua.

On November 14, 2006, Li Caiyun, Duan Fengqin, Shi junior and Zhang Ruilian were arrested by the municipal police department in coordination with the Wanbailin and Ximing Police Stations. One of the participants in the arrests is policewomen Lu Hongyan from Ximing.

From October 31 to November 3, 2006, four practitioners, including Dong Ailing and Wen Shuoyan, were arrested by officers from the Sanqiao Police Station in the Xinghualing District and imprisoned at the Taiyuan City Detention Center.

Approximately twelve people from the 610 Office of the Wanbailin Police Department in Taiyuan City, the Shanxi Province Detention Center and the Ximing Police Station intruded into practitioner Zhang Yan's home at about 10:00 a.m. on November 24, 2006. Practitioner Li Caiyun from the Xishan District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province was arrested the week before. (Bao Hongbin, the chief of the Political Security Section who committed all kinds of evil, was awarded a second class merit citation by the Chinese Communist Party for persecuting Falun Gong.) They took Zhang Yan away at 11:00 a.m. and confiscated her property. They took all her Dafa books and materials, compact discs, a computer, a printer and other items from her home, as well as the key to another Dafa materials production site which they later sealed up.

The police had tracked Zhang Yan for nearly three months before this arrest. The person in charge of this operation dispatched the so-called "supervising group," and because of their concentrated effort, the Xinghualing District police were awarded 100,000 yuan. Police from other cities have also participated, with those in the Wanbailin area being the main players.
