At around 4 p.m. on April 23rd, without any authorisation, several police officers from Xinjiang Police Station in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, broke into Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhao Ying's home and arrested her. However, on April 25th, Harbin's The New Evening newspaper twisted the facts in reporting this incident. The headline said, "Using an extension ladder, police got onto a balcony to arrest a thief." The article slandered Ms. Zhao.
The New Evening newspaper reported that when the home owner got home, all the rooms were lit up, so he called the police. They said, "At 5:28 p.m. on April 23rd, police from Pingfang area received a call from a citizen saying that his home had been burglarised. The building is located at 409 Xinjiang Ave. in the Pingfang area......" However, it is still quite light at 5:28 p.m. in Harbin City, so there was no need to turn the lights on. Also, there is no balcony in Ms. Zhao's apartment.
Ms. Zhao Ying was brutally tortured. As a result, she began to have heart problems and her relatives do not have enough money to pay her hospital expenses.
That day the police surrounded Ms. Zhao's home and used metal cutting tools to break through her security door. After breaking into her home, they searched it and confiscated her property. They hauled her from the fourth floor to the main floor and pushed her into a police car. Her mother, who is over 70 years old, suffered a heart attack after being threatened by the police.
The neighbours were alarmed. The police made irresponsible remarks and said things like, "She killed her child," but everyone could see that her child was well. Ms. Zhao Ying exclaimed, "I am a Dafa practitioner, and I believe in 'Truthfulness, Benevolence, Tolerance.' I did nothing wrong. It is the police who want to arrest me." Neighbours noticed that the police had mobilised so many people to arrest a completely unarmed woman. This caused much discussion, such as, "If they could make the same effort to arrest corrupt officials, the country wouldn't be so rotten."
The New Evening newspaper in Harbin is full of propaganda from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They published a flagrant lie, but nobody believed it. Everyone who lives in that area knows that Zhao Ying is a Falun Gong practitioner and a kind woman. How could the CCP media openly slander innocent, law-abiding citizens with complete disregard for the truth without being punished according to law?
