Ma Jian insisted on staying and talking. The police then beat him and eventually arrested him by force. During the course of the arrest, Ma Jian's belt was broken and the police removed his shoes. The next day his colleagues were asked to send him a belt and shoes but were not allow to see him.

According to insiders, Ma Jian is now imprisoned in the Eastern City District Police Station Detention Center. His home was searched and his car was towed away, also.

Now his mother is staying with his parents-in-law in Beijing, and his parents-in-law are also very worried about him.

Ma Jian's employer, the French PCM Pumping Industry Company, has already informed its headquarters of this and has also contacted the French Embassy.
