Police Worry That Their Names Will Get Out
Ms. Bai Yuwen from Hebei Province heard noises on her roof around 7 a.m. on August 28, 2015. She saw a police officer up there, so she opened the door.
Liu Haixiang, Zhang Dehui, and about 13 officers then barged in. Liu said that he was from the 610 Office, and they proceeded to ransack the house.
They took Ms. Bai to the Xicheng Police Station, and several officers took turns interrogating her.
“One thing I don't understand,” one officer asked. “How do Falun Gong practitioners find out our personal information? They even know our relatives' addresses and phone numbers.”
“We publish these addresses so that you don't continue to persecute practitioners, which is wrong to do,” answered Ms. Bai.
