Since May 21st, 2008, the police departments of Jilin Province and Songyuan City have been secretly arresting Falun Gong practitioners in Songyuan City and its subordinate district under the pretext of Olympics "security." Many practitioners in Fuyu County have been arrested. On July 11th, Songyuan City and Fuyu County police executed another round of arrests and harassment involving practitioners in Fuyu County.
On May 21st, Fuyu County practitioner Mr. Shao Changpu and Ms. Fu Lihong were arrested in Songyuan City. Right afterwards, Songyuan City police ransacked Mr. Shao's home in Fuyu County and arrested his younger sister. Mr. Shao and Ms. Fu were detained in the detention centre in Songyuan City. They were only given two meals a day and forced to work but not paid. Ms. Fu is starving and has become very skinny. Mr. Shao was sentenced to one year of forced labour and transferred to Changchun City Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp.
Practitioners Zhu Decai, Wang Yuanzhang, Yan Xianyu, Liu Qing, and others and Chen Lixin (not a practitioner) were also arrested and are now in Yinmahe Forced Labour Camp in Jiutai City. Practitioners Liu Shuqin, Gao Mian, Xu Hui, Ms. Zhang Hongqin, Ms. Wang Shuqin, Ms. Mou Guiling, and others are in Heizuizi Labour Camp in Changchun City.
On July 11th, after midnight, Songyuan City and Fuyu County police officers were led by the security directors of the villages to execute another round of arrests and harassment against Falun Gong practitioners in Fuyu County. Ms. Wang Jinxia from Zhangbao Village, Caijiagou Town, was arrested and is now being detained in the Fuyu Detention Centre. Li Xiaohui from Sanchahe Town was arrested by Daoxi Street Police Station police and is now in Fuyu County Detention Centre. Wang Enhui from Yushugou escaped. The police also harassed and arrested others in town who had practised Falun Gong before.
It has been said that the police implemented the arrests according to lists they collected before 1999. Some of the people on the lists had stopped practising or had passed away, but the police didn't give up harassing their families, and sometimes took them away anyway.
