(Clearwisdom.net) On May 1, 2011, Ms. Zhang Yuqin and Ms. Yin Xueli, Falun Gong practitioners from Zhaodeying Town, Shenqiu County, Henan Province, were clarifying the facts in nearby Zhouying Town when they were illegally arrested by Lu Feng, the captain of the Domestic Security Division of the Shenqiu Police Department, and officers from the Zhouying Police Station. They are currently being held in the Shenqiu Detention Center.

Ms. Zhang is almost 50 years old. She is from Xiaoliu Village, Zhaodeying Town. She suffered from encephalitis as a child and developed serious complications, resulting in her becoming deaf and extremely thin. In 1998 a practitioner taught her the Falun Gong exercises. She gained over 33 pounds and all of her ailments disappeared within three months. She cultivated over an acre of land by herself after all of her family members went to other cities to work.

Ms. Yin is over 40 years old. She is from Malou Village in Zhaodeying Town. Ms. Yin used to have many illnesses, including vitiligo (loss of pigmentation of the skin). Her illnesses, as well as most of her vitiligo, with the exception of one patch on the small of her back, disappeared after she started practicing Falun Gong. Others were able to witness the incredible health benefits of Falun Dafa from the restoration of her health.

On May 1, 2011, the police went to Ms. Yin's home. She lives alone, as her family members' jobs are located in other areas. No one was there, so they climbed over the fence, entered, searched it, and confiscated property. They took her Falun Dafa books and DVDs that explain the facts about Falun Gong. Two days after the police arrested Ms. Zhang, the local cadre was ordered to find Ms. Zhang's granddaughter to get her key and search Ms. Zhang's home. Her granddaughter, the only one who lives with her, had already sought refuge at a neighbor's home, so the police broke in and took all of Ms. Zhang's Falun Dafa books, DVDs, and truth-clarification materials.

The police announced that a fine of 5,000 yuan would have to be paid for the release of each practitioner. But privately they said that, even if the fine were paid, no one would be released.
