On August 2nd, 2009, the Linqing City Public Security Bureau in Shandong Province gave orders to the police in townships and villages under its jurisdiction to harass, arrest Falun Gong practitioners, and ransack their homes.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Lin of Jijin Street, Linquing City in Shandong Province was arrested from her home at 11 a.m. on August 3rd by police from the Domestic Security Section and police station, and members of the Jijin Street Administration Office. They confiscated a computer, printer, a taxi tricycle, and tools. Ms. Wang was taken to a detention centre where she was so brutally beaten that her cervical spine was fractured, which caused her to lose consciousness. She was sent to the 2nd District Hospital in Liaocheng City.

On August 3rd, police from the Linqing City 610 Office¹, Domestic Security Section and police station entered the home of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Cui Yuling, ransacked it, and took Ms. Cui and her daughter Cui Zixiu to a detention centre.

Ms. Cui Yuling, 43, works as a tricycle taxi driver to support her family because her husband has been ill for years. The police tried to force Ms. Cui's husband to pay forty thousand yuan for the release of his wife and daughter. Ms. Cui's husband was unable to meet their demands and committed suicide. Yet, the head of the 610 Office, Wang Baoyuan and the head of the Domestic Security Section, Sheng Li would not allow Ms. Cui and her daughter go home to make funeral arrangements. Instead, they transferred the husband's remains to a crematory.

Ms. Cui Yuling has been transferred to the Chiping Detention Centre.
