(Clearwisdom.net) On March 1-2, 2006, officials in Shanxi Province started a sudden large-scale arrest of practitioners in the cities of Jincheng, Zhangzhi and Gaoping. The police and work unit officials appeared at almost every Dafa practitioners' home. They claimed that they would ransack their homes and confiscate their property. With sirens wailing, more than twenty policemen in four police cars went to a practitioner's home. They were everywhere.
Due to the long duration of the persecution and harassment by the police, the elderly in practitioners' families were not able to bear these sudden frightening situations. One older lady was so frightened that she became mentally traumatized on the spot, didn't eat or drink and died soon after. Some elderly were so frightened that they lost control of their excretory functions, couldn't move and/or needed their children to help them to bed. Others had diseases relapse and/or were sent to the hospital.
Facing such a situation, Dafa practitioners and their family members seriously warned the perpetrators of the consequences of their evil deeds. Some family members said to the police on the spot, "If anything happens to my mom or dad I will not let you off the hook." Some family members opened their doors and let bystanders know that the evil party again was doing inhuman things. They let bystanders see which policemen were the perpetrators. The family members of the practitioners who were taken away by the police made phone calls to the police station. Some family members immediately went to the related organizations to ask for the release of their loved ones. Managers of some of the practitioners' work units went to the police station to ask for the release of their employees.
Having learned lessons from the tragedy of the concentration camps and having known the despicable nature of the police due to long-time contact with them, the family members of the Dafa practitioners have become upright and are without fear. They tried to reason with the police and actively rescue their family members. With the good efforts by Dafa practitioners, family members and other people with conscience, most of the arrested practitioners were released and got home safely.
But there are Dafa practitioners still being detained. In Jincheng City there are still six Dafa practitioners detained at the Custodial Station in Zezhou County Jincheng City and at the Custodial Station in Jincheng City. Among them, two have been sentenced illegally. Another four are facing trial. There is also a practitioner who has been persecuted, suffers serious disease symptoms and has been staying in a hospital. There are five practitioners in Changzhi City still being persecuted, two of which have been sent to the Xindian Labor Camp in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, while the rest are still being detained in the Custodial Station.
