Oct. 13, 2009

(Clearwisdom.net) At around 8:30 p.m. on September 21, 2009, some officials from the Wuxue City 610 Office and more than a dozen officers from the Wuxue City Public Security Bureau went to the Hushenghuan Neighborhood, Wuli Village, in Longping Town, Wuxue City. They arrested seven practitioners who were gathered at a practitioner's home.

According to an eye witness, a black car stopped at the entrance of Hushenghuan at 8:30 p.m., and two people in plain clothes got out of the car. They first approached the front of Ms. Liu Yunxiang's house and then walked around it, before returning to the car. Two minutes later, two police cars arrived and stopped right in front of Ms. Liu's house. More than a dozen police officers surged out of the cars. Two stationed themselves at the front door and the ensuing bunch entered the home, rushed up the stairs, and proceeded to arrest seven practitioners who were there studying the teachings of Falun Dafa together. During the process, four officials of Wuli Village arrived and assisted the police in the arrest. They further proceeded to take Falun Dafa books, a picture of the founder of Falun Dafa, and a tape recorder from the home.

Villagers watching the arrest asked the police, "Why do you arrest these good people?" The police said, "Someone reported them to the municipal Public Security Bureau." Some villagers also asked the village officials why they failed to protect the villagers. The officials claimed that they did not know that the practitioners would be arrested. To calm the angry villagers, the police immediately released two of the senior practitioners who are over 70 years old. They then took the other five practitioners to the Wuxue City Public Security Bureau Detention Center. The arrested practitioners included Ms. Liu Yunxiang, Mr. Wu Yurong, Mr. Guo Haiyun, Ms. Hu Meizhen, and Mr. Feng Yue'e.

Governing bodies that executed the arrests:
Wuxue City 610 Office
Wuxue City Public Security Bureau
Wuxue City National Security Team
Mr. Ku Qun, director of the Longping Police Station, in Wuxue City
