April 5th is "Qingming Day" [a traditional holiday on which Chinese people pay respects to deceased relatives at the cemetery]. On April 5th, 2006, some Falun Gong practitioners put up exposing the persecution on their way to the Zhangjiakou City Wangjiazhai Public Cemetery and the Xiaoxinzhuang Funeral Home. Practitioners displayed banners to mourn for fellow practitioners Ms. Song Cuiling from the Zhangjiakou City Mining Machine Factory, Ms. Sun Yumei, Ms. Zhang Zhigen from the Zhangjiakou City Children's Cloth Embroidery Factory, Ms. Zhang Yuzhen from the Zhangjiakou City Rubber Factory, Ms. Yang Yufang from Dongyaozi Village outside Zhangjiakou City, Ms. Fan Yaxiong from the No. 15 Middle School, and the other 3,000 plus Falun Gong practitioners killed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Practitioners also displayed banners to tell people about the CCP's organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners. The local 610 Office1 agents were greatly alarmed by these banners and called it case "405."
In April 2006, the Zhangjiakou City Police Department and all local street offices received instructions from the Zhangjiakou City 610 Office to strengthen the effort to solve the "405" case.
Officers who participated in fabricating charges and establishing the "405" case include the director of the 610 Office, the Party Secretary of the Politics and Law Committee Qiao Denggui, the chief of the Zhangjiakou City High-tech District Police Department Yang Zhisheng, the chief of the Zhangjiakou City Qiaodong District Police Department Zhang Xinliang and deputy chief Liu Lijun, the Qiaoxi District Police Department's National Security Team's Zhong Senglin, Director of the Qiaodong District Court Chen Yanqing, the Chief Prosecutor of the Qiaodong District Procuratorate Guo Li, and the chief of the Nanzhan Police Station He Yuhui.
All the district police departments and local police stations cooperated in the arrests of seven Falun Gong practitioners between April 24th and May 2nd, 2006. These practitioners were secretly sent to a prison to be tortured.
At around 9 o'clock on the morning of April 24th, the public security director of the Yanjiatun Village, Zhang Zhenyi, and the chief of the Shenjiatun Village Police Station, Li Yanjun, broke into Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Guo Shuying's home while she was cooking. They arrested her and confiscated her property.
On April 27th, police from Yaojiazhuang Police Station arrested practitioner Ms. Liu Jinye. They also confiscated her leaflets exposing the persecution and personal belongings.
On April 30th, the chief of the Nanzhan Police Station, He Yuhui, led uniformed police and three plainclothes officers to arrest Ms. Chen Aihong at her home. Three months prior she had been released after a year of persecution in the Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp in Baoding City, Hebei Province.
At around 5:00 p.m. on May 1st, Zhong Senglin, from the National Security Team of the Qiaoxi District Police Department, led police from the Xinhua Street Police Station to arrest practitioner Ms. Ji Xiumei at her home. They also arrested her husband and two brothers and took them to the Xinhua Street Police Station. They confiscated Ms. Ji's Falun Dafa books, more than 900 yuan2 in cash, and Ms. Ji's wage card (which has since been returned to her).
At the same time, police from Mingdenan Police Station arrested practitioner Ms. Zhang Zhongli at her apartment. They also took Falun Dafa materials and banners, and arrested practitioner Mr. Zhang Fugui, who was visiting Ms. Zhang at the time. The next morning police detained Zhang Zhongli's boss and interrogated him. They also confiscated Falun Dafa books from her boss's wife (also a practitioner). Due to special circumstances, the police failed to arrest the boss's wife.
At around 9 o'clock on the morning of May 2nd, police from the Qiaodong District Police Department and the May First Street Police Station arrested practitioner Ms. Zhao Xiaolu and confiscated her property.
The chief of the Zhangjiakou City High-tech District Police Department Yang Zhisheng and others used all kinds of tactics to strengthen their efforts in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. They recalled practitioners Liu Jinye, who was sent to Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp in Baoding City and Chen Aihong, who was sent to the brainwashing class in Zhangjiakou City Law School. They also arrested other practitioners and brought charges against all seven practitioners for the "405" case in the Qiaodong District Procuratorate in Zhangjiakou City.
The chief prosecutor of the Qiaodong District Procuratorate, Guo Li, the director of the Qiaodong District Court, Chen Yanqing, the judge Wang Yian, the assistant judge Meng Qingyou, and Wang Shuaxiang, secretly tried these practitioners and rapidly closed the case in late 2006. They sentenced Falun Gong practitioners Ji Xiumei, Zhang Guifu, Guo Shuying, Liu Jinye, Chen Aihong, Zhao Xiaolu and Zhang Zhongli to between four and ten years in prison. Practitioner Zhang Guifu was sent to the Yidong Prison in Tangshan City, Hebei Province. The other six practitioners were sent to the Shijiazhuang City Women's Prison in Luquan County, Hebei Province.
