Three Sisters from Guangdong Province Arrested for Purchasing Tickets to the Shen Yun Show in Hong Kong

Feb. 9, 2010 |   By a correspondent in Guangdong Province, China

(Clearwisdom.net) Three sisters, Rao Lichong from Meizhou City in Guangdong Province and Rao Limei and Rao Lihui from Shenzhen City in Guangdong Province were arrested for purchasing tickets to the Shen Yun Performing Arts show that was to be presented in Hong Kong.

After hearing that the famous Shen Yun Performing Arts was coming to Hong Kong, the three sisters purchased tickets and planned to go see the show with their families. However, either their phones were tapped or they were reported on, and Chinese Communist Party agents were notified. Police from Foshan, Meizhou, and Shenzhen acted simultaneously to prevent them from leaving to go see the show in Hong Kong.

On January 20, police from the Foshan Public Security Bureau went to the clothing store owned by Rao Lichong in Foshan. They arrested her and "interrogated" her for an entire day, threatening her about going to Hong Kong to see the show.

At around 9:00 p.m. on January 21, more than ten police officers from Meizhou City, Mei County, Public Security Bureau and Meijiang Public Security Bureau went to the clothing store owned by Rao Lichong. They confiscated the computer and printer used for her business and later ransacked her home and confiscated a laptop computer (without providing a receipt). Rao Lichong is currently being detained at the Meizhou City Qinghuang Detention Center, leaving a four-year-old boy at home.

At around 10:00 a.m. on January 22, police from the Luohu area of Shenzhen City arrested Rao Limei and Rao Lihui at their home. They may be detained at the detention center in Luohu.

Three innocent and kind women were arrested only because they wanted to see the beautiful Shen Yun Performing Arts show. We call on all righteous people all over the world to help rescue them.
