On the afternoon of March 2,2006, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Sun Ruifen from Niguantun Village, Baoguantun Town, in Nanpi County in Hebei Province was visiting practitioner Ms. Ding Huiping’s home. Suddenly, the Security Office Chief Yan Yixin (male) led several police officers from the town police station to break into practitioner Ms. Ding Huiping’s home and arrested Ms. Sun Ruifen. Later the police extorted money and goods from Ms. Sun Ruifen and Ms. Ding Huiping.

They later broke into Ms. Sun Ruifen’s home and ransacked it. They then took Ms. Sun Ruifen to the Baoguantun Police Station. That evening Ms. Sun Ruifen was taken to Po Town Detention Center, where she was illegally held for one night.

On the morning of March 3,2006 Ms. Sun Ruifen was taken to the Nanpi Detention Center. Ms. Sun Ruifen’s husband has already passed away and she has children at home. Her elder brothers and sisters repeatedly went to the Nanpi Detention Center to ask for her release. However, the police refused to release her. Furthermore they used deceptive means to threaten the family members and extorted money from them. Other family members repeatedly went to the Nanpi Detention Center to ask for the release of Ms. Sun Ruifen so that she could take care of her children. They even gave a thousand yuan to the police. Only after they had given four thousand yuan was Ms. Sun released. Ms. Sun Ruifen was illegally held for twenty-eight days and had more then seven thousand yuan extorted from her family, including gifts and treating guests. They had to treat guests several more times and were also fined.

Since the persecution of Falun Gong started in 1999, Ms. Ding Huiping and Ms. Sun Ruifen were repeatedly persecuted. On March 2,2006, the police put intense pressure Ms. Ding Huiping until her heart disease recurred. The police extorted four thousand yuan cash from her husband at that time, claiming that they would take her away otherwise. Later the State Security Division of Nanpi County again extorted two thousand yuan from them. The Security Office Chief of the Village, Yan Yixin (male), also extorted two hundred yuan cash from them. Between July 20,1999 and this year the police extorted money and goods with a total value of twenty thousand yuan from Ding Hui Ping's family. At the beginning of May 2006 the Security Office Chief of the village Yan Yixin (male) led police officers to harass Ms. Ding Huiping’s home twice.
