Ms. Zhao Jinrui from Qingyun, Shandong Province, Detained in Dezhou Detention Centre

On September 20th, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhao Jinrui accompanied her friend Liu Jinqiang and his wife to Dezhou City to go shopping. On the way home, when they reached the far west corner of Meng Village in Jing County, they were stopped by four vehicles from the Domestic Security Division of Decheng District Police Department in Dezhou City that had been following them. A group of plainclothes police forced Ms. Zhao, Mr. Liu, and Ms. Wang to get into their car and detained them in the Dezhou Detention Centre.

Ms. Zhao Jinrui is well liked and trusted by her customers

In 2003, Ms. Zhao started practising Falun Gong after a friend told her about it. Although the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was already brutally persecuting Falun Gong at that time, Ms. Zhan was not afraid. As a result of prasticing, she has benefited greatly both physically and mentally and her moral standards improved. However, the Qingyun Police Department kept harassing her, so she and her husband were forced to leave their hometown. They moved to Dezhou City and sold fruit for living.

The couple treated their customers fairly, following Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. They didn't cheat their customers, so their customers trusted them. Many people purchased fruit from her store, so business was good, and her family of three was content. When she went to the wholesale market to buy fruit, a vendor accidentally gave her extra change. When she returned the extra money to him, he said, “It is very hard to find anyone as kind and honest as you.”

Forced to become homeless

In July 2011, Qingyu Police Department officers tried to deceive Ms. Zhao’s brother in-law and mother in-law. The police told them that as long as Ms. Zhao and her husband came home and paid a small fine, they would never trouble them. Ms. Zhao and her husband didn’t go home because they were too busy with their business.

Around July 22nd or 23rd, over ten officers from Xu Yuanzi Police Station of Qingyun Police Department and Dezhou police surrounded the fruit store to arrest Ms. Zhao Jinrui. At that time, the couple was not at home. The police broke into their rental house, ransacked it, and confiscated Falun Gong books. Ms. Zhao and her husband were then forced to leave home and move from place to place.

After two short months, Ms. Zhao was again arrested by the Dezhou police again. After being detained for two or three days, she was sent back to Qingyun and then transferred to Ningjin Detention Centre.
