At the end of September 2002, Pingdu police escalated their persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners again. They entered private homes without warrants and kidnapped Falun Dafa practitioners.
Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Qingfang is a native of Zhugou Town, Pingdu City. Because of harassment from the local police, she and her husband had left home for a certain period of time and were planning to go back home in mid-September. As soon as she entered her home, Zhang Qingfang was kidnapped and taken away by police, who had broken in earlier and were waiting for them. Her husband got away.
Two other practitioners were employees of a local company. On September 26, police officers kidnapped them at work and sent them to a brainwashing class. They refused to cooperate with the police in the brainwashing class and went on a hunger strike to protest against their crimes. Nevertheless, the police kept torturing and abusing them. Currently, they are extremely weak and their lives are in grave danger.
Meanwhile, police all around the city frequently harassed families of Falun Dafa practitioners who were forced to leave home, and caused severe mental anguish to the family members of the practitioners. For example, in order to find the whereabouts of Dafa practitioner Zhang Yan, the police came to her home many times within one day in September, and used all the means they could against her husband. Zhang's husband was terrified, and was hospitalised on October 10 due to his deteriorating mental condition. At this point he is unconscious and in critical condition.
