(Clearwisdom.net) Since September 2007, Fujin City Police Department officials have used the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) 17th National Congress as an excuse to harass Falun Gong practitioners. Officials have covertly photographed practitioners, coerced them to provide their signatures, monitored, shadowed and arrested them, ransacked their homes and stolen or confiscated their property.
Eight Fujin City Falun Gong practitioners were illegally arrested, and many practitioners decided to go into exile to avoid further persecution and arrest.
On September 17, 2007, practitioner Mr. Wang Jibao was arrested and his home ransacked.
A group of police officers arrested three siblings, Mr. Gao Liansheng, Ms. Gao Yumei and Ms. Gao Yumin, at noon on September 19, 2007. The police officers confiscated equipment including a CD burner from Mr. Gao Liansheng's home, and confiscated 2,000 yuan in cash.
On September 22, 2007, police officers ransacked practitioner Mr. Tian Haitao's home and confiscated all the Falun Gong books and a computer. They seized his wife Ms. Jin Guiling and released her later when a relative posted bail.
Sometime after 9:00 a.m. on September 17, 2007, police agents unexpectedly nabbed practitioner Wang Xin in the street. A group of police officers went to Wang Xin's home at 11:00 a.m. and let themselves in, with Wang Xin's keys. The police seized Wang Xin's mother, practitioner Ms. Wang Guifang, ransacked her home, stole more than 6,000 yuan in cash, and took away all truth-clarification materials.
Practitioner Ms. Liu Guizhen was arrested at work on the morning of September 17, 2007. The police officers found her keys and let themselves into her home. They confiscated a computer and more than 9,000 yuan in cash. The cash and computer are valued at more than 20,000 yuan. Ms. Liu Guizhen's sixteen-year-old daughter Han (given name not known) had been followed for several days. When she returned home for lunch that day, the police also took her away and didn't release her until that night. Ms. Liu Guizhen's husband had previously decided to go into exile to avoid further persecution and arrest.
It was reported that the Fujin City Police Department authorities had conspired to follow practitioners Liu Guizhen, Wang Guifang and their family members since early September. As soon as Ms. Wang Guifang left home, plainclothes police would follow her and covertly photograph her. They had also been to her older sister's home to get information from her sister, such as Ms. Wang's identity, age, employer, retirement date and other data. They had parked a car by her home and monitored her day and night.
Practitioner Chen Lixian from Tongjiang City, Heilongjiang Province is now also incarcerated at Fujin City Detention Center.
