(Minghui.org) Since last year, Huizhou authorities have been inciting slander against Falun Gong practitioners in television ads, on street posters and bulletin boards. Officials encourage Huizhou residents to report practitioners to the police if they see them.
Five practitioners in Huizhou City, Guangdong Province have been arrested and persecuted since June 2014. Two practitioners, Ms. Xiong Guizhen and Ms. Gong Aimin, are still detained.
Mr. Huang Shuichi Arrested
Practitioner Mr. Huang Shuichi was speaking to people about the persecution of Falun Gong in front of a Walmart on August 5, 2014. Two female patrol officers arrested Mr. Huang and took him to the He'nan'an Police Station.
Police Director Zhu (first name unknown) had Mr. Huang handcuffed to an iron pipe for a day while police officers and agents from Huizhou City Domestic Security Division interrogated him. They took his insurance card from his pocket.
Mr. Huang's family arrived at the police station at 9 p.m.. The police threatened to give him a one-year sentence if his family did not write a letter of guaranteeing him not to practice Falun Gong. His family did as ordered and the police released him. After Mr. Huang returned home, staff from the local management committee ordered Mr. Huang's family to monitor his moves.
Using the information from his insurance card, police went to Mr. Huang's home while he was detained and ransacked it. They confiscated all Falun Gong books and DVDs, Teacher's photo, and an MP3 player.
Ms. Xiong and Ms. Gong Arrested and Detained
Ms. Xiong Guizhen from Anyi County, Jiangxi Province, was distributing Falun Gong informational materials in Huizhou City on July 26. Officers from the Huicheng District Police Station and Domestic Security Division arrested her.
The police ransacked her store and confiscated her computer, printer, and Falun Gong books. Her husband and son, who are not practitioners, were also arrested. The next day Ms. Xiong's brother, also not a practitioner, and sister-in-law Ms. Gong Aimin were arrested and their shop was ransacked. It is unknown where they are detained.
Ms. Xiong, her husband and son, and Ms. Gong along with her husband and nephew, are currently detained. Officers from the Domestic Security Division told their families that the non-practitioners would be released if the family paid 200,000 yuan.
The family paid but no one was released. The two stores now face bankruptcy because the families ran out of money and no one is left to run the stores.
Ms. Wang Arrested
Ms. Wang Liuzhen was distributing Falun Gong informational materials on July 8 in Huizhou when the police arrested her. Police from Chenjiang Police Station later ransacked her home and arrested her husband, son, and daughter, who were not practitioners. The police interrogated Ms. Wang's family. The family was released later that evening. Ms. Wang was released ten days later.
Ms. Huang Arrested
Ms. Huang Xuehan from Huizhou was distributing Falun Gong informational materials on June 14. Someone followed her and reported her to the police. The agents of Huizhou City 610 Office broke in, ransacked her home, and confiscated her laptop, cell phone and Falun Gong materials. The agents took Ms. Huang to the Xincun Police Station and interrogated her. She was released around midnight.
