Over the past three months, officers from the Changping District Police Department and the Dongxiaokou Police Station have arrested at least 16 practitioners from the Tiantongyuan community on four subsequent arrests. The officers who participated in the arrests did not wear police uniforms or park their police cars nearby. They threatened the arrested practitioners with forced labour sentences.
On June 30th, 2011, Ms. Mei Xuehong was reported by the Tiantong Tail Goods Market Management personnel while selling her goods. She was arrested by officers from the Changping District Police Department. The Procuratorate is prepared to issue a lawsuit against her.

All the arrested practitioners are being held at the Changping Detention Centre located in the town of Liucun.

They have also declared that all arrested practitioners will be punished with forced labour sentences.
For many years, the Changping District Police Department and the Dongxiaokou Police Station have collaborated with the Community Committee and the Shuntiantong Property Company to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.
