Mr. Zhao Wuhu, a practitioner from Anxin County, Hebei Province, was an outstanding civil servant. He was persecuted for his belief in Falun Gong and was forced to leave home to avoid further persecution. At approximately 4 p.m. on September 18th, 2009, officials from Xiong County and the National Security Bureau arrested Mr. Zhao at his home and took him to the Xiong County Public Security Bureau. They ransacked his home and confiscated two notebook computers and a printer. Later, Mr. Zhao was taken back to Anxin County and detained.

Mr. Zhao had previously been arrested during the 2008 Olympics, and later fled his home when the local police tried to arrest him again.

On July 22nd, 2008, Yang Hexin from the Anxin County Public Security Bureau and Yu Gengshun, Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Committee in Zhaobeikou County, led officers from the Anxin National Security Bureau and Zhaobeikou County Justice Bureau to arrest Mr. Zhao Wuhu's mother, who is also a practitioner. As she wasn't at home, they only arrested Mr. Zhao and took away his computers, a printer, and some Falun Gong informational materials. Later, the police arrested Mr. Zhao's mother on Yongan Road while she was shopping and detained her in the Anxin County Detention Centre. Her family managed to get her released. During this time, Mr. Zhao was able to escape from custody and then had to leave home to avoid being arrested again.

As Mr. Zhao had left his home, police officers from the 610 Office¹ in Anxin, the National Security Bureau, and Zhaobeikou Police Station all kept track of his family members and harassed them. Recently, Kang Huihe, director of the Anxin 610 Office, started to harass his cousin Zhao Wenhu and threatened to have his salary cut off.

Mr. Zhao Wuhu's six family members now depend on the salary from Mr. Zhao's wife to maintain their livelihood and they are struggling to make ends meet. When the authorities cut off Mr. Zhao Wuhu's salary, it made a bad situation worse. A once happy family now lives in misery because of the persecution.

Note
