Recently, the police in Xishui City, Hubei Province colluded with some local thugs and arrested many practitioners. Several Falun Gong practitioners' whereabouts are still unclear.

They forcibly sent Mr. Fan to the Wuhan City Brainwashing Class. Practitioner Fang Desan was forced to live in exile.

A truly inhuman thing happened when the police arrested practitioner Mr. Zhong Quier from Zhudian Township. A group of policemen attacked him and beat him unconscious on the ground. His mother, in her 70s, went out to protect her son; however, the police even beat the elderly mother so badly that she went into a coma. Afterwards, they put Mr. Zhong into a police car and left.
On November 22nd, 2005, when practitioner Li Zhengwen, who had lived in exile over five years, was walking around Hedong Restaurant in Xishui City, the police found him and arrested him. On November 25th, Mr. Li's 70-year-old mother found that her son was being held in Room 103 at the City Land Tax Hotel. Mr. Li's mother knocked on the door until her hands were black and blue. Policeman Hu Guanghua opened the door, shouted at her, pushed her to the ground, and then closed the door. Later, when the mother saw Mr. Li, he was being carried by two policemen. He had been tortured to disfigurement.
At 5:00 p.m. on November 30th, 2005, around 20 to 30 policemen surrounded practitioner Mr. Mao Jiequan's home in Xishui City and then arrested him.
