(Minghui.org) Officers from the Shijiazhuang 610 Office and the local police repeatedly harassed Falun Gong practitioners during March and April 2014. They demanded that all practitioners that had been released on bail must report to the local police station daily. Local police and 610 Office agents were to conduct home visits of practitioners named on their blacklist, and their superiors were to check that this work is carried out efficiently.
Ms. Lan Zhi from Baifo Village Harassed
A man came to the home of Ms. Lan Zhi in Baifo Village on April 24. He tried to open the door without knocking first. The family heard the noise and asked him to identify himself. He said that he was Yuan Zhihuai from the Tangu Police Station and had come to check on them. He demanded to know if Ms. Lan still practiced Falun Gong and was meeting with other practitioners.
Practitioners Ordered to Stay at Home During the Labor Day Holiday
Officers from the Penghou Street Police Station and people from the neighborhood committee made multiple harassing calls to Ms. Cheng Wenfen, Mr. Gao Hanzong, Ms. Zhao Xiuli and Ms. Du Lanmei on April 23 and 24. They demanded that the practitioners stay in their homes around the May 1 weekend and threatened to go to their homes to check on them.
Ms. Hua Fengxiang Harassed by Yuhua Police
Officers from the Yuhua Police Station went to the Xinhuashe Community to harass Ms. Hua Fengxiang on April 23. However, they left after the guard at the gate told them that she was not at home. When they returned the following day, Ms. Hua refused to open her door.
Ms. Hua was tortured when she was held at a brainwashing center. As a result of the torture, her legs still shake uncontrollably when she walks. Since she is named on the blacklist, people from the neighborhood committee frequently harass her.
Mr. Bao Jingfeng Arrested
Zhang Shuangxi, the director of the neighborhood committee, and an officer went to Mr. Bao Jingfeng's home on the afternoon of April 21. They saw Falun Gong materials in his home and called for back-up. Officers from the Shenglibei Street Police Station arrived in four police cars. They ransacked Mr. Bao's home and arrested him. He is now being held in the Nanhuochang Detention Center.
Ms. Zhang Gailing Harassed
Officer Fu Changping from the Yuandong Police Station and an unnamed female officer went to Ms. Zhang Gailing's home on March 7. The family was not at home, so they posted a note on the door asking Ms. Zhang and her family to go to the police station upon their return. This is not the first time such a note has been left on their door.
Police also sent someone to stay in the guardroom of the residential area to monitor Ms. Zhang and track her husband's car. Two women from the Yuandong Street Residential Committee later harassed her family.
Ms. Sun Tao's Mother-in-law Died Due to Fear of the Police
Officers Li Runlai, Yang Chunyan, Dang Yanrui and Cao Lixin from the Donghuan Police Station went to Ms. Sun Tao's home on March 5. She was not at home, but her mother-in-law was. She was very ill and paralyzed. She was frightened, thinking that the officers were coming to ransack the home and arrest Ms. Sun. Her situation drastically deteriorated. She had a high fever the next day and died on April 18.
This is not the first time that something like this has happened. Officers from the Donghuan Police Station arrested Ms. Lu Ran and illegally sentenced her to a year of forced labor on March 25, 2012. Ms. Lu was the care-giver of her mother. After Ms. Lu's arrest, her mother, who was recovering from an illness, died unexpectedly.
