2. Police from the 610 Office of Donge County Commit Crimes Again
On March 7, 2005, several policemen from the 610 Office of Donge County, led by You Lingsi, broke into practitioner Mr. Lei Yudong's home located at the Xiguan Brigade and searched it illegally. They arrested Mr. Lei and brought him to the detention center. Mr. Lei is currently being held and persecuted in the labor camp. His family members have asked the authorities to release him. Instead, the police detained one of his family members for fifteen days also. Therefore, the authorities have violated the freedom of belief guaranteed by the Chinese Constitution and also committed the crime of illegal detention according to Articles 238 and 245 of the Criminal Law.
