(Minghui.org) Mrs. Wu Yijin had just put her one-year-old grandchild down for a nap when she heard someone banging on the door. She opened the door to find her husband being pushed inside by a group of officers.
Mr. Wu had gone out to visit a friend that morning and wasn't expected to come back so soon. The police said they arrested the 62-year-old man at his friend's house because he had long been targeted for his practice of Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline being persecuted by the Chinese communist regime.
The police ransacked the couple's house without showing a search warrant. They confiscated more than 100 Falun Gong books, cell phones, computers, flash drives, and other valuables.
Mr. Wu told his wife later that the police were ransacking the house of his friend, also a Falun Gong practitioner, when he stopped by. Upon learning who he was, the police said he was the next one on their list of practitioners to be arrested that day.
The police threatened to sentence Mr. Wu for his faith. The retired worker from a local water company remains incarcerated at Qinhuai District Detention Center.
