They broke into her home and, without any explanation, a couple of muscular men took her away. Why did they have to use several car-loads of men to arrest her? In fact, if they still had a little bit of kindness, they would have heard the desperate cries from the two little girls after they came home from school. "Who has taken my granny away?

    After I was released from prison, police tightly watched me, stalked me, monitored my telephone conversations, installed video cameras in my neighbourhood, and even requested my neighbours to report on me, even including my mother's neighbours. I saw notices on the wall of the police department saying: "Detaining a practitioner gets a large bonus, sentencing a practitioner to a forced labour camp gets a large bonus, sentencing a practitioner to a prison gets a large bonus."
