Three Falun Gong Practitioners Taken from Their Homes by Officers from the Linshu 610 Office in Shandong Province

On September 29th, 2010, officers from the Linshu County 610 Office [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong] in Shandong Province broke into and ransacked the homes of three Falun Gong practitioners. The three practitioners and their property were taken away. The following is the sequence of events.

At around 3:00 p.m. on September 29th, 2010, officers Li Fangchun and Zhang Baoyin and four or five others from the Linshu County 610 Office went to the Lishu Roadworks Bureau, where practitioner Zhao Fanghua works. Zhao was escorted home, and the officers ransacked the home and took away a computer and several Falun Gong books. Zhao was then taken away by two officers.

Ms. Chen Yanxia, a former deputy director of the Religion Bureau, was also taken from her home by the officers.

At around 8:00 p.m. the same day, eight to nine officers went to the home of Mr. Xu Chuanlun, who works in the Public Health Bureau and has a clinic. They pretended that they wanted to see a doctor. Mr. Xu did not open the door. The officers climbed up to the second floor and, after destroying the anti-theft netting, broke into Mr. Xu's home and ransacked the place. Mr. Xu's child was frightened and started to cry. Eventually the officers confiscated the computer, printer, fax machine, and paper used in the clinic, as well as some Falun Gong books. Mr. Xu, wearing only a shirt, was taken away.

Currently, the three practitioners' whereabouts are unknown.

After Liu Yuhong, the former chief of the Linshu 610 Office, stepped down, Liu Xing became the new leader. In order to prepare for the Chinese National Day, the 610 Office stepped up its efforts to harass and arrest Falun Gong practitioners. Officers Li Fangchun and Zhang Baoyin were a part of all three arrests.
