Practitioners Arrested and Their Homes Ransacked in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia

Numerous practitioners have been arrested and their homes ransacked in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia. Practitioners Ms. Fan Xiaoli, Ms. Guo Shulan, and Ms. Yang Fenglan are currently detained at the Hexi Detention Centre.

In April 2008, the Tongliao City Police Department, Ke District Police Department, Domestic Security Division, several police stations, and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) personnel from neighbourhood administrations made a coordinated effort to conduct a so-called "secret check-up" on local practitioners. They phoned or visited them, using the excuses of address verification, low income assistance registration, or providing job opportunities. On May 30th, they began wide-spread arrests.

On the morning of May 30th, 2008, CCP personnel arrested practitioners Ms. Fan Xiaoli and Ms. Guo Shulan. They ransacked the home of Ms. Fan Xiaoli and her parents. They took away large amounts of leaflets exposing the persecution of Falun Gong and a large satellite dish. Police from the Domestic Security Division and other related personnel ransacked the home and confiscated all of their Falun Gong books, disregarding the fact that Ms. Fan's parents are over seventy years old.

The police then surrounded the home of a female practitioner surnamed Zhang. However, no one would come out. The next day, they arrived with four or five locksmiths, broke in after picking the lock, and arrested this practitioner.

Practitioner Ms. Yang Fenglan was arrested again and her home was ransacked. A large quantity of equipment and materials for promoting Falun Gong was confiscated. Also in recent days, a couple of female practitioners around seventy years old were also arrested for no reason. According to reports, they have now returned to their homes.

The units that participated in the persecution include the Tongliao City Police Department, Ke District Police Department, 610 Office¹ in Ke District, Domestic Security Division, Yongqing Community Police Station, Ximen Street Police Station, Huolin City Police Station, and others.
