(Minghui.org) Fifteen Falun Gong practitioners from Taiyuan City who tried to attend the trial of five practitioners were arrested on May 18, 2015.
The trial was held in the Yuci District Court and postponed from April 30 to May 18. Shen Jianjun, chief of the Jinzhong City Domestic Security Division, deployed plainclothes officers to cover the area.
Practitioners trying to attend the trial were searched. Whoever was found with Falun Gong informational materials was arrested and taken to a police truck, guarded by over 20 armed officers.
A total of 15 practitioners were arrested and taken to the Jinlun Police Station.
The practitioners told chief Shen the facts about Falun Gong and why the persecution is illegal. They asked that he not arrest innocent citizens because of their spiritual beliefs. He refused to listen.
Shen called the Wanbolin Police Department to pick up the practitioners, but nobody came after several hours. He ordered them to write a guarantee statement renouncing Falun Gong before releasing them at 1 a.m.
