(Clearwisdom.net) Officers from the Mudanjiang City Railway Police Division have been arresting and harassing practitioners since the persecution of Falun Gong started in July 1999. Below is information about recent incidents relating to practitioners and their family members.
Ms. Jia Yanfeng, a former teacher in Dongning No. 2 Middle School, was arrested in 2005 and was detained for nearly four months. Officials from the local 610 Office ordered the teaching committee at her school to force her to write a guarantee statement to renounce her belief, or she would be fired from her job. When she refused to comply, she was removed from her job and her wages were stopped. Her husband then divorced her. She has been doing temporary jobs to support herself and her daughter ever since.
The head of Dongning County Domestic Security Division, Lin Xiaowei, led officers from the Mudanjiang Railway Police Division to Ms. Jia's home at around 8 a.m. on September 22, 2011. They arrested her and confiscated a laptop, DVD player and other personal belongings. Her daughter is now left alone at home.

Several police then went to Dongning the next day to arrest Ms. Zuo's brother, Mr. Zuo Xiucheng, his wife, Ms. Jiang Wenhua, as well as Ms. Jiang's younger brother, Mr. Jiang Wenyue. All of them were detained at the railway police division. Officers from the railway police and the Domestic Security Division went to Dongning again on the morning of April 27, to harass Ms. Jiang's 80-year-old father.
