Police Arrest People and Ransack Homes; A Mother Loses Her Daughter Again

On February 15th, 2007, a police car stopped at the building next to the Xiangyang Market of Chuanying District, where Ms. Wang Liqiu's mother lives. At around 4 pm, three to four plainclothes policemen knocked on the door of Ms. Wang Liqiu's home, saying they were there to "check the water metre." The family said that the water metre had just been checked, so they didn't let them in. Then the police claimed that they were delivering something, but the family saw through it again and didn't open the door.

Ms. Wang Liqiu, a Falun Dafa practitioner, hasn't returned since she left home at around 4 pm on February 13th. Her family members started to look for her since they were told that some people were arrested, fearing she might be one of them. They tried the Xiangyang Police Station, the National Security Team of the Jilin City Police Department, the Chuanying Branch Police Department, the Jilin City Detention Centre and the 610 Office¹ of Jilin City. Finally they learned that Wang Liqiu was being held at the Jilin City Detention Centre. But when they went there, nobody took charge of her case. The "610 Office" claimed that it was the Jilin City Police Department's case. Her family members called the department but nobody answered the phone; they were denied a chance to meet with anyone, as well. Some kind insiders told them that the Changyi National Security Team was in charge, so the family called them, but nobody would acknowledge her presence.

Wang's mother Su, 74 years old, used to have a happy family. Her oldest daughter Wang Liqiu and her youngest daughter practised Falun Dafa and benefited the whole family. After the persecution started in 1999, the two daughters went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, but they were arrested and sent to forced labour camps. The youngest daughter was released when they persecuted her to the brink of death, and Ms. Wang Liqiu was also reduced to skin and bones when they released her. In the past eight years, Ms. Su's family has never been whole.

In July 2005, officers from the State Security Bureau of Jilin City harassed the youngest daughter, which forced her to leave home in order to avoid arrest. In September 2005, the work unit of the youngest daughter was forced to lay her off, and on December 13th, 2005, she was arrested by agents from the State Security Bureau. The entire family did everything they could and managed to get the youngest daughter back home after a month.

Ms. Su has been through all kinds of suffering in her life, but she didn't expect that upon the arrival of this Chinese New Year, her daughter Wang Liqiu would be arrested again. The police were planning to ransack her home after getting in with the excuse of "checking the water metre." When the police are the ones responsible for the persecution, where can she go to appeal and find justice?

Ms. Su requests that people from around the world pay attention to the persecution in China, to condemn the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) atrocities, to stop this persecution that has lasted for 8 years, and to help rescue all the innocent practitioners in China.
