Qingdao City Police Use Olympics as Excuse to Launch New Wave of Terror

Using the excuse of "protecting the Olympics," the CCP has rampantly arrested innocent citizens. Please look at what is happening in Qingdao City.

On July 25th, 2008, when a 65-year-old female Falun Gong practitioner, Zhang Xiuying, from the Third Village, Lingshan Town, Jimo City, Qingdao, was telling people about the persecution in an open air market, she was reported to the police. Zhang was arrested by Dong Quanqi, director of the Office of Comprehensive Management, along with officers from the Lingshan Town Police Station. Later, seven or eight officers from Lingshan Town Police Station, including Wang Deyi, drove in two cars to ransack Zhang's home.

At about 6:00 p.m. on July 23rd, five or six policemen, purported to be from the Sifang Police Branch, broke into Falun Gong practitioner Jia Cuilan's home in the South District of Qingdao City, and arrested her. The police confiscated some personal property and warned Jia's family not to visit her. The abductors did not say where Jia Cuilan would be detained. There were dozens of similar cases like this in Qingdao in July.

Behind closed doors in meetings prior to the Olympic Games, Chinese authorities defined Falun Gong practitioners as dangerous people and authorized a systematic plan. Police need not investigate deeply. They can arrest all suspected Falun Gong practitioners at will. The authorities would rather wrongfully arrest a thousand people than to miss one practitioner. Female Falun Gong practitioner Xiao Sumin in Pingdu City was taken away by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on May 30th, 2008. She was persecuted to death on June 20th. Ms. Xiao was only 46 years old. In the afternoon of June 21st, Xiao Sumin's body was cremated by the CCP authorities in Qingdao. Her ashes were taken to her home in Pingdu at 7:00 p.m. Under the pretence of "successfully hosting the Olympic Games," the CCP has initiated a new wave of terror against Falun Gong practitioners and other activists and dissidents. In just 21 days, the CCP persecuted to death a formerly healthy person, who's only crime was following Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance. Ms. Xiao is survived by a young daughter.

According to people familiar with the matter, China's police forces are regrouping to enforce security during the Olympic Games. The authorities are planning to arrest more Falun Gong practitioners.
