Police Conduct "Political Struggle" against Elderly Women

[Chengdu City, Sichuan Province]

On November 27, 2001, three female practitioners over 60-years-old, Duan Cuilan who lives on Xinhong Street in Chengdu City, Li Shiying who lives in Maanshan Street and also Han Qirong, went to safeguard Dafa in Beijing. The police detained them and escorted them back on December 1 without informing Duan Cuilan's family. The authorities ordered policeman Deng from the Criminal Investigation Department of Chengdu City's police department to handle the case. Now Duan Cuilan is being held in a newly-built detention centre in the Dongzikou area. Her family has not seen her since she was detained. The police did not give her family any information except, "This is a political struggle. This is the order from the top government. She will be sentenced to prison or forced labour." Her family was very angry, "How could an elderly woman interfere in politics? Why can't she go to Beijing? What crime did she commit?"

We still don't have information about Li Shiying's circumstances.

On November 30, 2001, Tian Zezhen, a retired employee from the Wuye Company of Chengdu City and two other practitioners went to appeal for justice in Beijing. It is confirmed that they were illegally detained and their homes were also ransacked. The details about this incident are still being investigated.
