On April 23, 2008, Changchun City Public Security Bureau, Public Security Department director general ordered Changchun City Shuguang Road Police Station to arrest 12 people working on the ninth floor of the "Europe and Asia Science and Technology City", and the fourth floor of "Changjiang Road Technology City". Practitioner Li Jingsong was one of them. It is said that they have monitored those floors for many days, and that many plainclothes police are watching the two shop fronts of the "Europe and Asia Science and Technology City" and other shops on Changjiang Road.

Yan Lijie has not came to work for several days. Yan's family is under major duress, since plainclothes police keep coming and going.

On the morning of April 23, 2008, Li Jingsong, who repairs printers at the "Europe and Asia Science and Technology City" was taken away by plainclothes police (this has been confirmed by someone who wishes to remain anonymous). Plainclothes police were still waiting around the repair center on April 24. People also saw plainclothes police at "Changjiang Road Technology City" on April 24.

According to staff of "Changjiang Road Technology City," the following occurred: On April 24, 2008, a male Falun Gong practitioner buying discs in the "Changjiang Road Technology City" was arrested by plainclothes police. When the Falun Gong practitioner loudly shouted, "Falun Dafa is good", he was beaten up by special agents, and some shop assistants who did not know the truth also helped police.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Chen Jingyu, 38 years old, works on the ninth floor repair center of the "Europe and Asia Science and Technology City." She was arrested by the Nanguan District National Securty Brigade and Central Security Bureau on April 23, 2008, and sent to Shuangyang No. 3 Detention Center on the same day. Li Jun of the Nanguan District National Security Brigade led the arrests in the "Europe and Asia Science and Technology City."

After 1:00 p.m., police took Wang Dongbiao to his residence (he lives with his mother-in-law), and there they conducted an illegal search.

It is said that the Changchun City Public Security Bureau deceived lower level police officers with the lie that "Changchun City Falun Dafa practitioners want to collectively appeal at the provincial committee on April 25, and hold a big activity." The assigned duties were to seize practitioners in mass at every sub-branch and police station, until the end of the Olympic Games in Beijing.

Police officers from the Xisantiao Police Station, Kuancheng District, Changchun City secretly monitored Falun Dafa practitioner An Fengxiang, at 6:00 a.m. on April 24, 2008.

After 8:00 p.m. on April 23, Meihekou City Falun Gong practitioner Yu Wanquan was taken away from home by police from the Tiebei Police Station.

Meanwhile Hongmei Town Public Security Sub-bureau agents arrested Falun Gong practitioners Li Yan, Song Zhonghua, Li Yuhua, Wu Guijuan, Zhang Chunyan, Wang Anping, a practitioner surnamed Sui, elderly Mrs. Zhang and others. After 3:00 p.m. on April 24, while practitioner Gai Yongguang and Wang Xiujuan were not home, police illegally broke in, and confiscated three computers, three printers, two mimeograph machines, a satellite receiver, printing materials (total value of over ten thousand yuan), and about 500 yuan in cash. Now, Falun Gong practitioners Gai Yongguang and Wang Xiujuan (a married couple) have to leave home to avoid persecution.

Personnel who participated in this round of persecution: Hongmei Town Public Security Sub-bureau director Shao Zhuang, Dongsheng Street manager Ma Bensheng, police officers: over ten people including Wang Shouren, and Fang Laoliu.

Yitong County Maan Town Police Station manager Sun Xiaohui, household registrar Chen Fuzhen, Wang Jianguang, Xia Chengming, and Fan Yongjiang broke into Falun Dafa practitioner Zhao Fenglan's home at about 5:00 a.m. on April 23. They dragged Zhao Fenglan through a pile of mud. Many people nearby witnessed this abuse. The police, surrounded by witnesses, could not forcibly arrest Zhao Fenglan, so they urgently transferred over 20 people from the National Protection Brigade and the Criminal Police Brigade. Zhao Fenglan's relative tried to stop the police using reason, but the police threatened them with charges of "hindering official business." An hour later, the police dragged Zhao Fenglan into a police car. Zhao Fenglan was not even wearing shoes.

Around 5:00 p.m. on the same day, Yitong County Public Security Bureau deputy director Zong Guo colluded with police of Kaoshan Town Police Station and broke into the home of Falun Dafa practitioner Fan Zhongli. They carried Ms. Fan into police car before she could put on a jacket and shoes. When her family went to visit her, Zong Guo ordered them locked up until Fan Zhongli was sent away to another area.

After 10:00 p.m., when Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Jinbo arrived home, he was forcibly taken away by police who were waiting in the building security guard's room. His door keys were taken away and the police searched his home while no one was there. It is unknown whether any personal property was lost. The police threatened the elderly security guard not to tell anyone.

On April 24, three practitioners were forcibly sent to a Forced Labor Camp, but were rejected by the camp. They are now detained at Yitong County Detention Center. Police know they lack proper reason to hold them, so they sent out messages claiming that Falun Dafa practitioners were escaped criminals, that they had already issued a warrant for their arrest on the Internet, and that they were allowed to seize them "as necessary."

Since April 23, 2008, people from the Qian'an County Public Security Bureau and the local police stations of various villages and towns intruded into the homes of Falun Gong practitioners by tracking, following closely, and waiting in hiding.

Police officers said to him immediately: "You go back first, she will be okay; we'll call you after a while." Ms. Ge's son believed what they said, and went back to his home. At about 10:00 p.m., her son felt that he needed to go back to the police station, but he found nobody there but one person on duty. He asked where they took Ms. Ge, but the person on duty didn't know, so her son had nothing to do but go back home. He couldn't sleep the whole night.
