Father and Son Arrested after Police Besiege their Home for Four Days in Anqui City, Shandong Province

Mr. Xu Jingping, a Falun Dafa practitioner, works at the Anqiu City Finance Bureau in Shandong Province. At approximately 3 pm. on November 2nd, 2007, a dozen officers from Anqiu City "Anti-Cult" Division Armed Force Bureau, went to Mr. Xu's home at the Family Housing of Anqiu City to arrest him.

Mr. Xu and his son were at home but refused to open the door to the Armed Force Bureau. The officers took turns stationing themselves in front of the door of the home of Mr. Xu for four days. They continually pounded on the door until they finally broke it. The noise was so loud that it was heard in the distance, terrorising the residents of the building.

After they broke down the door, the officers arrested Mr. Xu and his son (a non-practitioner). Mr. Xu's family went to the office of the Armed Force Bureau and demanded their release. The officers claimed that they had not arrested them, even denied ever seeing them. The family then demanded that Mr. Xu and son's clothes be delivered and were told by the officers that they would have to wait until after sentencing, which was an admittance that they had detained the father and son.

The following describes a couple of other cases in Anqiu City.
