(Clearwisdom.net) Practitioners Xiu Yuan and her elder sister Xiu Yan (61 years old), from Donggang City of Liaoning Province, were pushing their bicycles past Donggang No. 6 Middle School at around 10:00 a.m. on August 5, 2010. They were explaining the facts about Falun Gong to workers by the roadside when they were reported to local authorities by a workers team.
Tao Xueliang, deputy police chief of the Dadong Police Department in Donggang led several officers to their location in a police vehicle. At the time, Ms. Xiu Yuan was carrying a bag over her shoulder and had a four-year-old child sitting on her bicycle. Her elder sister Ms. Xiu Yan was on the other side of the road talking to people. The officers jumped out of the police vehicle and started dragging Ms. Xiu Yuan forcefully to the car. The bicycle was tossed to the ground, causing the child to fall, who started to cry out. The policemen did not care about the child, and continued to force both Xiu Yuan and Xiu Yan into the vehicle. The child was taken back home only after their family heard news of the arrests.
The police officers who illegally arrested the sisters included Tao Xueliang, Yu Weihua, and Yuan Shuliang. The sisters were interrogated separately at the police department. The officers attempted to force them to identify the source of their Falun Gong materials. Ms. Xiu Yan did not speak a word. Police officer Yuan Shuliang however, forged a two-page confession and demanded that she sign it. Yuan Shuliang told her, "No need to read it. Don't worry. Just sign it and you will be released immediately." Ms. Xiu Yan trusted him and signed her name. The same thing happened to Ms. Xiu Yuan, and the police deceived her into signing the fabricated confession.
The sisters were later transferred to the Dandong City Detention Center. By that time, the sisters knew that they had been lied to. The police told them, "Both deputy chief Ha Hecai and National Security Team captain Wang Runlong ordered your release as long as you tell us where you obtained the Falun Gong materials." The sisters knew that they were again being deceived, and both refused to cooperate.
At the Dandong City Detention Center, the police released Ms. Xiu Yan on bail, and she is currently awaiting trial.
After Ms. Xiu Yan returned home, Donggang City Police Department officials told Ms. Xiu Yuan's husband that Xiu Yan caused the arrest and detention of his wife Xiu Yuan. The police also instigated Xiu Yuan's family into forcing Xiu Yan to identify the source of the Falun Gong materials. They threatened her, stating that they would take her back to the detention center if she didn't disclose the information. The police threatened Xiu Yan's son, "If your mother escapes and leaves town, you will be held liable for it."
