(Minghui.org) Three Falun Gong practitioners and five of their family members in Fujian Province were arrested in two days. Only one practitioner was confirmed to have been released at the time of writing.

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.

Ms. Huang Huaqiong, a math teacher at Nanpu Middle School in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, was arrested on June 18, 2022, while distributing Falun Gong informational materials in Xiamen City, about 60 miles from Quanzhou. She is now being held at a brainwashing session in Quanzhou that lasts at least 30 days.

When Ms. Huang’s family went to check her home, they found that the place was turned upside down and that her desktop computer was missing, likely confiscated by the police.

Her family called the police on June 20 and urged them not to participate in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. The police hung up.

A day after Ms. Huang’s arrest, early on June 19, another Falun Gong practitioner, Dr. Li Jianxi, a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Xiamen, was arrested at home. His wife and son, as well as staff members of his clinic, were also taken away by the police.

Ms. Huang’s sister and her husband, who had been seeing Dr. Li and don’t practice Falun Gong, were also taken away from their home around the same time. Their child was terrified.

Meanwhile, the police in Dr. Li’s hometown in Zhangping City, about 100 miles from Xiamen, ransacked his residence there and arrested his younger brother, Mr. Li Jianhua, and a third Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Hua Rongli. Ms. Hua’s home was ransacked as well. She has been released.
