"610 Office" Orders Local Government and Police of Zhongbu Town to Arrest Falun Dafa Practitioners

Shortly after 9:00 a.m. on July 22, 2002, acting on orders from the "610 Office" (an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems) in Zhangdian District of Zibo City, Shandong Province, the Chief of Police of Zhongbu Town in Zhangdian District and a policeman, followed by government officers together with several unknown persons, broke into the home of Falun Gong practitioner Yu Shujun and abducted her. She was taken under escort to the retirement home in Zhongbu Town. Around 10:00 a.m., this same group further abused their despotic power by attempting to abduct practitioners Li Xiulian and Yu Youwu. Li Xiulian escaped by climbing onto her roof by ladder and ordered officials to leave her yard. Soon many people gathered to watch, so those criminal police dared not force her down and had no alternative but to get out of the yard. Li Xiulian stayed on the roof for more than one hour, only climbing down after she was sure that the criminals would not return. However, those criminals did return, bringing with them a master key to unlock the gate of Li Xiulian's yard. They broke into Li Xiulian and Yu Youwu's house and dragged them off to the retirement home in Zhongbu Town. Having enlightened along an evil path, four people, Zhou Dongqing, Sun Junxia, Geng Xiuying, and Zou Yuling forced these three practitioners to endure brainwashing. These four people together worked on the three practitioners for a whole afternoon. Practitioners Li Xiulian and Yu Shujun paid no attention to them, giving them no stage to play upon, while Yu Youwu denounced them for the whole afternoon. After 5:00 p.m., Li Xiulian and Yu Shujun seized the opportunity to escape. Now, Li Xiulian and Yu Shujun are forced to wander homeless, unable to go home, while Yu Youwu's situation is still unclear.

We hope kind people will give these brave practitioners support. At the same time, we earnestly admonish those lawless persons who are persecuting kind people: righteousness will triumph over evil; this is an unchanging universal truth!
