Anqiu City Police Department Officials in Shandong Province Arrest Practitioners and Raid Their Homes

Between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. on March 1st, 2008, more than 50 police officers staged a raid to arrest Falun Gong practitioners and search their homes. They arrived in 20 vehicles and were from the Anqiu City Police Department, the Vice Squad, the Xingan Street Police Station, and included agents from the 610 Office¹. They encircled Zongzipo Village at Xingan Street, Xiaoxinzhuang Village, and Nanxin Village in Anqiu City.

As far as we know so far, the arrested practitioners were: Mr. Tian Xuekun at Zongzipo Village (57 years old), Ms. Han Meiqin (50), Ms. Sun Yeqing (50), Ms. Li Xiuzhi (60), Ms. Wang Xiuyun (60), Tian Zhiyou (not a Falun Gong practitioner), Ms. Tian Shuzhen at Xiao Xin Villiage (60), and Ms. Jiang Guixiu at Nanxin Village (65). Non-practitioner Tian Zhiyou was seized for saying, "You behave just like bandits" when police searched his home. During the arrests and home searches, police took all cash they found on the practitioners and in their homes. It was said that Tian Zhiyou, Ms. Wang Xiuyun, and Ms. Li Xiuzhi returned home that same day.

At 8:00 a.m. that same morning, more than 20 police officers from the Anqiu City Domestic Security Division, from the Police Officers' Group, from the Liu Jiayao Police Station, and from the Jiage Police Station broke in and arrested practitioners Mr. Wang Peizhi and his daughter, Ms. Wang Xiaomin, in Hanjiahou Village. The police taped Mr. Wang Peizhi's mouth shut and tied him up because they were afraid of him speaking out for justice for Falun Gong to people. Ms. Wang Xiaomin refused to comply with police. They tied her up with rope and carried her downstairs from the fifth floor. Her eight-year-old son was frightened by the horrible sight and kept trembling and crying helplessly. The invaders also confiscated their computer, TV, DVD player, and other things.

In the meantime, the police also arrested Mr. Wang Peizhi's son-in-law, practitioner Mr. Li Zhiguang, who was at work at the thermal power plant.

Police also arrested practitioner Li Rendong from Tiange Villiage, Jiage County, Anqiu. The arresting officers were from the Xingan Street Police Station in Anqiu.

Practitioner Liu Qingmei from Daxiapo Villiage, Shidui County, Anqiu, was arrested from home that same morning, along with another practitioner, name unknown, from Baoquan County.
