(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of November 11, 2011, officers from the Suining County Domestic Security Division, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, arrested more than ten practitioners as well as a non-practitioner.

Those arrested are being held in the Suining County Detention Center. Six of those detained are in their 60s and 70s: Wei Wanru, 77; Chi Bo, 77; Zeng Chuanlan, 74; Dong Baolan, 72; Liu Jingxia, 66; and Xu Fengling, 61. These elderly practitioners are highly regarded by their neighbors, because they are kind and friendly and willing to help others.

The police didn't follow any legal procedures or inform the families of the arrested so that clothing could be delivered to them. They took turns interrogating and torturing the detained practitioners and deprived them of food. They didn't inform the families about the arrests until November 15. They then forced the families to sign detention warrants that were dated “November 11.”

Mr. Chen Huixiang, 74, is a non-practitioner. On the day when he was arrested, the police forced him to hand copy slogans, which were taken as evidence to charge him. Because his blood pressure was high, 200/110 mg, detention center officials refused to admit him and released him. But he was arrested again on November 23, and his family hasn't been given any further information about him.
