(Clearwisdom.net) On September 23, 2009, police officers from different townships, including those from the National Security Division of Lixian County Police Department and the 610 Office, broke into the homes of 14 practitioners. They forced their way in by smashing or prying the doors open with crowbars, then proceeded to ransack the homes. Twelve practitioners were arrested, eight of whom were denied any legal defense and sent to forced labor camps within three days of their arrests. The judge even attempted to sentence one of the practitioners to a long sentence.
The following is information on the practitioners and their arrests:
1. Mr. Zhu Junqiang, 39, was an employee of Lixian Food Company. After he lost his job, he started his own business running a sporting goods store. At 7:00 p.m. on September 23, 2009, about a hundred people led by Wang Ruixin, deputy head of Lixian Police Department, and Wang Junchang, head of the National Security Division, surrounded Mr. Zhu's home. Because Mr. Zhu refused to open the door, Wang Junchang ordered officers to use an ax to break down the security door. The officers confiscated a printer, a desktop computer, a DVD burner, DVD player, and Falun Dafa books. They also confiscated a safe in which there were three fixed certificates of deposit and over 20,000 yuan, totaling over 100,000 yuan, money earned by Mr. Zhu and his brothers. On September 26, less than three days after his arrest, Mr. Zhu was sentenced to two years of forced labor at Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp.
2. Ms. Zhao Limei, 45, was a teacher at Lixian Television University. After refusing to give up her belief in Falun Gong, she was harassed by officers from the 610 Office, people from her workplace, and the education commission. As a result, her loving family was torn apart. At around 7:00 p.m. on September 23, 2009, when Ms. Zhao was on her way home, a group of officers stopped her and took her motorbike and handbag, which contained cash, a fixed certificate of deposit, and pay slips. Then the officers forced their way into her home and confiscated a computer, a printer, and two VCD/DVD players. Ms. Zhao was sentenced on September 26 to one year of forced labor at Shijiazhuang Women's Forced Labor Camp.
3. Ms. Zhu Lihua, 40, was a hospital technician. She had been harassed and persecuted for not giving up her belief. She was denied any leave by her employer and was eventually fired. At around 7:00 p.m. on September 23, 2009, Han Dakuan, head of the Guodan Police Station, and his men arrested Ms. Zhu and confiscated a computer, two cell phones, and some Falun Dafa books. She was later sentenced to one year of forced labor and was sent to Shijiazhuang Women's Forced Labor Camp on September 26.

8. Ms. Tian Junfang, 45, was arrested and her home ransacked by the police on September 23, 2009, for refusing to give up her belief. The officers confiscated a computer and printer, which were used for keeping accounts. Her computer contained many important accounting files and report forms. The police also confiscated some Falun Dafa books. On September 26, she was sent to Shijiazhuang Women's Forced Labor Camp for one year.
9. Mr. Zhao Xiaochang, 60, was sentenced to forced labor in 2001, because he went to Beijing to speak out for Falun Dafa. During his detention, he was subjected to electric shocks, and the officers also inserted bamboo sticks into the tips of his fingernails. At 7:00 p.m. on September 23, 2009, dozens of officers forced their way into his home and confiscated a computer, Falun Dafa books, and several copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. As the officers forcibly led him out, Mr. Zhao shouted at the top of his lungs, "Falun Dafa is good!" He was handcuffed and shackled, then taken to the Lixian County Detention Center. The authorities attempted to sentence him with a long imprisonment. His wife, Ms. Feng Wenzhen, was sentenced to seven years imprisonment in 2007 for clarifying the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong. No one is left at their home.
