Police Threaten Nursing Mother with Submachine Guns

Vicious Police from the Tongzhou District Branch of the Beijing Public Security Bureau Kidnap and Rob Me

[Beijing City]

Around eight o'clock on September 24 of this year, approximately ten bad policemen in plainclothes from the Tongzhou District Branch of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, with submachine guns in hand, claimed that they were there to repair a water pipe and thus tricked me into opening the front door. They illegally searched the temporary home that I rent from local people, confiscated over ten Falun Dafa books, more than 30 tapes and two tape-recorders, over 1,500 Yuan in cash. They illegally detained my 10-month-old baby and I for over 20 hours. During the detention, my baby was badly frightened. Since I was still breast-feeding, I was sent back to my temporary home on the evening of the 25th, and was asked to move away soon.

When they broke into my room, I was in my underwear. When I asked them to leave, they said, "You can't be regarded as human. You don't have the right." They then forcibly photographed me, and sent my baby and I to the police substation separately. A male policeman, who is over 30-years-old, threatened me, saying "If you don't cooperate we'll take the baby away, give it to others or send it to the orphanage." He even tried to frame me by claiming that the child was frightened because I practised Falun Gong, rather than due to their evil persecution.

On the 25th, they confiscated all my property that was in my temporary home and took it to the warehouse of the police substation, including my quilt, clothes, gas cooker, stove, electric heater, and even my baby's diapers. Two days later, I went to ask for these things, and the vice director of the police substation refused to give them back to me. I then asked somebody else for my things, and was told that I had to first write a note of reception. After I got back all the stuff, I found that my 1,500 Yuan in cash had disappeared. They gave me 500 Yuan and self-righteously said that, "This is for your rent. Not a penny of the sum we confiscated is yours any longer. We give you this since we know that you have financial difficulties at the moment." They also asked me to guarantee not to rent local places to live.
