Six Young Practitioners Pressured by the Authorities, Their Mothers are Detained

The daughters of six Falun Dafa practitioners, from the Yinhe Textile Company in the Mouping District of Yantai City, Shandong Province, all attended middle school in Dayao Town. They all practice Falun Dafa. The parents rented a house near the school to provide a convenient environment for the girls to study the Fa (1) and practice the exercises. Some vicious people informed the police about them. About 8:00 p.m. on September 1, the police broke in and arrested Ms. Jiao Cuiguo, a mother who was accompanying the children. The policemen went to the house to harass the children when they came back at 9:00 p.m. from school. The second day, the police and schoolteachers pressured those students to write pledges that they would give up practicing Falun Gong. That afternoon, the police abducted the other mothers. These were Ms. Liu Renling, Ms. Jiao Lixiang and Ms. Sun Houyun. The four mothers went on a hunger strike for 15 days at the detention center. Ms. Liu Renling and Ms. Jiao Cuiguo vomited after being force-fed and they were released. Currently the other two mothers are still enduring torture in detention.
