Mr. Guo, from Saiqi Town, Fu'an City was arrested on February 12, 2012. Participating were more than ten officers from the Saiqi Police Department  led by Zheng Xiang from the Fu'an City Domestic Security Division, and town government staff. They ransacked Mr. Guo's home and held him in the Fu'an City Detention Center for more than 30 days. Instructed by the city's 610 Office head Chen Zhong, Fu'an City police, procurators and court officials intended to sentence Mr. Guo to prison.
