Thirty Falun Gong Practitioners Recently Arrested in Dalian City

Thirty Falun Gong practitioners were arrested in Ganjingzi District, Dalian City on the afternoon of June 25th, 2011. The arrest was conducted by the Dalian City Police Department.

Between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. on June 25th, the Dalian City Police Department sent more than 20 plainclothes police officers, including Chen Xin and Jiao Jian, to Wenti Street, Ganjingzi District. They broke into Mr. Shen’s home and arrested 30 practitioners.

The police rushed into the house without showing any legal documents, and they were not wearing police uniforms. After taking pictures and videos, they forcibly dragged practitioners into the police vehicles. Some practitioners shouted “Falun Gong is good” to protest the unjust arrest.

Four practitioners who were nearly 70 years old were later released. The other 26 practitioners were sent to the Ganjingzi Police Department. The police shoved two practitioners surnamed Shi and Feng down to the ground and stomped on their heads. Due to the abuse, Shi’s eyes were blackened and Feng’s chin was badly bruised. The police officers involved in this abuse included Jiao Jian.

The 26 practitioners were transferred to the Yaojia Detention Centre at around 11:30 p.m. the same day. Two practitioners were released at 10:40 a.m. the following day, and the other 24 practitioners are being detained in the Dalian City Detention Centre.

Officers from the Dalian City Domestic Security Division and the Ganjingzi Street Police Station also participated in the arrests.
