Eight Middle-Aged and Elderly Women Arrested for Practicing Falun Gong Exercises in Private Home

April 22, 2007

(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Cao Fengying is a Falun Dafa practitioner in Wanquan County, Hebei Province. On April 5, 2007, police officers from the Wanquan County 610 Office and the National Security Division arrested her and ransacked her home. They also took away seven others who were practicing Falun Gong at her home at the time.

In 2007, Ms. Cao went to the National Security Division of the County Police Department many times. She wanted to get back her motorcycle and 1,300 yuan that had been seized by Division Head Jiang Aiguo the previous year. However, she did not succeed. On April 2, she went again but was told rudely by Jiang, "No one else dares to come here like you do. You even wrote to me and exposed me on the Internet. Wait and see how I deal with you."

At around 4:00 a.m. on April 5, several policemen and two police cars blocked the lane where Ms. Cao's home is located. They arrested people who were there practicing the Falun Gong exercises, most of whom were new practitioners who had just started practicing Falun Dafa. An elderly woman in her 70s was so scared that she fainted on the spot; her daughter took her home later on. Eight people have been arrested: Ms. Wen Guiyun, Ms. Liu Xiuqin, Ms. Chang Jinlan, Ms. Yan Bin, Ms. Cao Fengying, Ms. Wang Yuhua, Ms. Shi Yanying and Ms. Li Fenglian. The police also confiscated a color TV set and antenna, the only valuable items in Ms. Cao's home.

The arrested practitioners are mostly in their 50s. They had suffered from all kinds of illnesses in the past, but recovered after practicing Falun Gong. One of the practitioners, Ms. Yan Bin, was deaf and dumb, but started talking after she obtained the Fa.

We hope that all Dafa disciples in Wanquan County will send forth righteous thoughts together, and fully disintegrate the evil beings and factors that are still participating in the persecution of Falun Gong.
