Over a Dozen Practitioners Arrested in the Guangzhou Metropolitan Area

On April 15th, 2008, numerous Falun Gong practitioners in the Guangzhou Metropolitan area were arrested by policemen from Guangzhou Police Department and the Guangzhou 610 Office¹. Ms. Liu Guifeng and Ms. Cai Yuzhen were among the practitioners arrested.

At about 6:00 a.m. on April 15th, practitioners and residents of Liwuan District Mr. Huang Zihui and Ms. Chen Jie (husband and wife) were arrested by officers from the local police station. Ms. Chen was released that evening (to take care of their son), while Mr. Huang was transferred to a brainwashing centre.

At approximately 6:00 a.m. the same day, practitioners Mr. Shen Yi, resident of Liwuan District, and Ms. Lai Huibing, resident of Yuexing District, were both arrested by 610 Office personnel and were later transferred to the brainwashing centre.

At 7:00 a.m. on April 15th, sisters Ms. Gao Suming and Ms. Gao Qianming from Liwuan District were arrested at their home. Their residence was searched.

On April 15th, a gang of policemen from Tianhe Police Department arrested practitioners Mr. Chen Yongtao, and Ms. Zou Danyu, husband and wife. The policemen also searched their residence and took many of their personal belongings. The next day, policemen from Tianhe Police Department, along with a local policeman from the Research Institute of Non-ferrous Metals and individuals from the neighbourhood committee that didn't know any better arrested Ms. Zou's parents and searched their residence. These thugs took their computer, and other personal belongings. Mr. Chen and Ms. Zou's whereabouts are unknown.

At approximately 9:00 a.m. on April 15th, officials from Guangzhou City 610 Office, Guangzhou City National Security Division, Haizhu District 610 Office, Haizhu District National Security Division, Haizhu District Police Department, Jiangnanzhong Street Police Station, as well as the neighbourhood committee, arrested Mr. Shen Yi and Ms. Lin Bo, husband and wife, and Mr. Liu Jianguo. Over two dozen police searched the whole building, but failed to find anything. To deceive the large crowd that was watching, the police acted like that they had found illegal drugs on Mr. Shen. They opened up a package of an illegal drug and showed it around. This is more evidence to show how the Chinese Communist Party deceives the Chinese people. Shen Yi was later transferred to Haizhu District Nanzhou Detention Centre, while Ms. Lin was sent home in the evening. Mr. Yang Liuguo's whereabouts is unknown.
