(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Chen Meilan, a retired factory worker in her 50s, lives in the Gangzixia residential area of Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province. She began to practice Falun Gong in 1997. Because of her determination to continue to cultivate, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents have illegally arrested and detained her many times. Prior to the Beijing Olympic Games, on August 5, 2008, at around 11 a.m., seven or eight officials who had been waiting outside her home arrested her.
She was on her way home. Before she reached the door, Gangzixia Community officials arrested her. Those responsible for her arrest included Gangzixia Community Head Hu; Cui Jialin; local policeman Wang Zhengwen; political head Gong Junqing; a new police officer, Guan (female); officer Li (female); and officer Tang, among others. Two female police officers, one on each side, pulled Ms. Chen by her arms into a nearby police vehicle. In the Helin Police Station, she protested when officers attempted to grab her bag. They forced open her fingers, got hold of the bag, and emptied the contents, which was only some vegetables, a few coins, and an Internet card.
On the same day around 5 p.m., they took her to the Xicai Garden Hotel to be "transformed." This hotel is located at the foot of Gu Mountain in the northern part of Zhenjiang City. They had arranged in advance for two collaborators to be present. One of them was Ma from the Tianqiao Community, the other one's name is unknown. The next day, a person named Xue arrived. After they had detained Ms. Chen for a week, Zhang Suofa, the 610 Office leader of the Yunzhou Police Department Investigative Team, and someone named Tang came to inquire about the progress of her "transformation." Ms. Chen Meilan said, "Let me please ask you this: I am a person who believes in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and strives to be a better person. What do you want me to 'transform' into? Everybody has to take responsibility for his or her own actions." But Zhang Suofa continued to slander Master and Falun Gong. Later, when they realized that they could not "transform" her, they released her. At 8 a.m. on August 25, 2008, Zhang Suofa drove Ms. Chen Meilan and the two collaborators to the four-way intersection of Gangzixia Community and dropped Ms. Chen off.
