Mr. Mu Yadong and His Wife from Pingdingshan City, Henan Province Arrested and Their Home Ransacked

Around 7:30 a.m. on October 14th, Mr. Mu Yadong and his wife (a non-practitioner) were arrested by officers from Donggongren Town Police Station in the Weidong District, Pingdingshan City while on their way to drop off their daughter at her elementary school. Their home was ransacked, and the police confiscated a desktop computer, two laptop computers, two mobile phones, several dozen copies of Falun Gong books, and the couple's minivan. Mr. Mu and his wife were taken to the Pingdingshan City Detention Centre on the morning of October 15th.

Since October 14th, Mr. Mu has been on a hunger strike to protest their arrest. He is currently very weak and in critical condition. On the morning of November 1st, he was sent to the Pingdingshan City No. 2 Hospital to receive emergency treatment. Uniformed and plainclothes police officers were armed with batons while guarding the area where he was being held.

The Weidong District Procuratorate recently approved Mr. Mu's arrest, despite his protest and weakened condition. The 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) in Pingdingshan City, the Weidong District Procuratorate, and the Donggongren Town Police Station were all involved in the approval of the arrest.

We call for help from inside and outside of China to rescue Mr. Mu.
