74-Year-Old Mr. Peng Chuhao Arrested in Loudi City, Hunan Province

At about 7:00 p.m. on December 2nd, 2009, officers from Xingzipu Police Station arrested Mr. Peng Chuhao, who was distributing Falun Gong leaflets exposing the persecution in Xingzipu Town (in Shuangfeng County of Loudi City, Hunan Province). Later that night, the police sent him to the Louxing Domestic Security Division in Loudi City.

Mr. Peng Chuhao, 74 years old, worked as Security Section Chief in Division 418 before his retirement. The Communist regime officials have persecuted him many times. That is, in October 2004, Louxing police, from both the 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) and the Domestic Security Division, arrested him and detained him at the Loudi Detention Centre. Then in June 2005, the court sentenced him to three years with a three-year reprieve.

In October 2007, Loudi City plainclothes police officers arrested Mr. Peng when he was distributing Falun Gong materials. He escaped later that night, but he had to leave home to avoid further persecution. The Party Secretary at his previous place of employment, Division 418, worked with the 610 Office and stopped paying him his retirement pension. During the two years when Mr. Peng Chuhao was homeless, police went to his family, his children's families and his relatives to look for him. Because of the harassment by the police, the lives of these families were severely disturbed. Now Mr. Peng has been detained again.
