Huaian City Police Arrest and Harass Falun Gong Practitioners

Agents from the 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) and Domestic Security Division in Huaian City, Jiangsu Province recently stepped up their arrests and harassment of Falun Gong practitioners.

On November 9th, Domestic Security Division agents from the Economic Development Zone in Huaian City climbed over the walls and broke into Ms. Ji Shujun’s home. She is in her 80s. They arrested four female practitioners who are in their 60s who were visiting Ms. Ji. They also coerced Ms. Ji to disclose the whereabouts of two practitioners who then had to leave their homes to avoid further persecution. One practitioner is her daughter Ms. Wu Yanping, an officer with the Huaian City Planning Bureau. The other is Mr. Chen Hongzhu, who works with the Huaian City Personnel Bureau.

A week later, Wang Jianhuai from the Qinghe District Domestic Security Division broke into Ms. Ji’s home again and took away her Falun Gong books.

Domestic Security Division agents from the Economic Development Zone and the Qinghe District frequently harassed Ms. Ji, causing her to be under a lot of stress, which harmed her physically and mentally. Qinghe District Domestic Security Division agents frequently broke into her home and took her personal belongings.

In April this year, agents from Huaian City 610 Office and Domestic Security Division, including Wang Jianhuai, Chang Shulin and Xu Feng, arrested Ms. Shi Feng. She is retired from her job at the Huaian Hotel. They also took away her cash, computer, digital players and Falun Gong books. One month later she was sent to the Jiangsu Province Women’s Forced Labour Camp.

In May, Wang Jianhuai, Chang Shulin and Xu Feng arrested Liming Typing Studio owner, Ms. Zheng Hongxia, and took away her printers, discs and Falun Gong books. She was sent to Jiangsu Province Women’s Forced Labour Camp the following month.

In August, Wang Jianhuai, Chang Shulin and Xu Feng arrested Ms. Du Mingliang, a retired employee of the Qingjiang City Gear Factory, and took her house key. They subsequently went to her home with the key and took away her computer, recording machine, printing equipment and other personal belongings. One month later they sent her to Jiangsu Province Women’s Forced Labour Camp. The labour camp refused to accept her; however, they didn’t immediately release her. Instead, they detained her at the Huaian City Detention Centre for days.

Since the beginning of this year, agents Wang Jianhuai, Chang Shulin and Xu Feng frequently harassed Ms. Dai Mingxuan and Ms. Lin Fengying. They took their personal belongings and extorted money every time. On October 22nd, Wang broke into Ms. Dai’s home and took away her Falun Gong books and MP4 player. On November 9th, Wang broke into her home again and took her mobile phone memory card and Falun Gong materials. In addition, agents from the Qingpu District Domestic Security Division recently harassed a number of practitioners.
