Ms. Deng Shufen, a Seventy-Year-Old Practitioner from Shuangliu County, Sichuan Province, Recently Arrested

On October 1st, 2007, Ms. Deng Shufen, a Falun Gong practitioner from Jitian Town, Shuangliu County, Sichuan Province went to the Jitian Town Government to speak out for justice for Falun Gong. She told them that because the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had committed heinous crimes it would be destroyed and anyone associated with it would be implicated, so that only if they quit the CCP would they have a good future. The town government authorities, instead of listening to what she said, ordered the police of the Jitian Police Substation to arrest Ms. Deng Shufen.

Ms. Deng Shufen is over 70 years old and is a woman from countryside. Every month, she relies upon the one hundred yuan¹ given to her by her former husband to live a simple life.

Those involved in Ms. Deng's arrest include:

Su Wenhua, Director for the Jitian Town Military Department: 86-28-89119058
Chen Zixia, member of the Political and Judicial Department (the former director for the Women's Committee): 86-13541060458
