Dafa Practitioner's Business Devastated by Xingyang City Police

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Xiaorong in Xingyang City went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in May 2000. She was arrested there and later picked up and taken back to Xingyang by her local policemen. Upon arriving in Xingyang, she was immediately put into Sanlizhuang Detention Centre, where she suffered from maltreatment for a month. Later she was transferred to a building where she was detained for another 8 months.

On July 5, 2000, a gang of policemen suddenly burst into the book shop run by Zhang Xiaorong's husband Li Qinjun and asked him: "Are you still practising Falun Gong?" "Yes," answered Li. So they forced him to where his wife and another 6 practitioners were detained, and put him under detention for 8 months too. Li's son had to take turns staying in different relatives' homes during that period.

During November and December of 2000, Zhang Xiaorong's 70-year-old father had to take care of the bookshop to maintain the business. Suddenly a gang of policemen came and claimed that there were Falun Gong materials in the bookshop. They drove the old man out in a frenzy and sealed the bookshop.

In February 2001, Li Qinjun and Zhang Xiaorong were sent for brainwashing in the party's training school. They were held there for over 4 months. Every day they were forced to take brainwashing classes. They were not allowed to go home to take care of their business and children.

After the couple was set free, they asked the police department to return the confiscated bookshop. They found that hundreds of Yuan were lost from the shop, and books and stationery items were stolen too. The rest of the books, which were stored in a school, were now out of date. The school asked for a huge storage fee to return the books, but the couple could not afford it.
