(Minghui.org) Mr. Zhong Dingbang, a manager of a technology company in Xinzhu, Taiwan, flew to Nankang, Ganzhou in Jiangxi Province to visit his two half brothers on June 15, 2012. He was planning to return to Taiwan on the evening of June 18, but was arrested by officials at Ganzhou Airport. He was told that he was to "assist with investigating Falun Gong" and was then told to tell his family in Taiwan that he would be released after one day.

This incident quickly drew international attention. Voice of America reported that Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party legislator You Meinu said that Mr. Zhong's family still has no information on his whereabouts and are very worried about his safety.

Shortly after this news was reported, Chinese Communist Party officials forced local cadres and workers in Ganzhou to sign a guarantee that they and their family members would not pass on information about or support Falun Gong in any way. The officials also handed out leaflets to each person slandering Falun Gong.
