(Minghui.org) Ms. Deng Xiugui, 72, was stopped by officer Wang Huan while walking on the street on December 5, 2022, and taken to the street corner. There, she saw another two Falun Gong practitioners arrested by the same officer, Ms. Yang Guihua, 66, and Ms. Du Mingfen, 68.
Wang, around 30, is from the Suining City Domestic Security Office in Sichuan Province. He called the nearby Kaixuanlu Police Station, asking them to take the three practitioners to the police station for interrogation.
Several officers soon arrived and searched the practitioners. Ms. Deng’s home keys and 70 yuan in cash printed with information about Falun Gong were confiscated. The other two practitioners also had some cash confiscated from them, but the amount wasn’t known.
A fourth practitioner, Ms. Tang Jiying, 67, was also arrested on the same day while she was on her way to visit Ms. Du. The 990 yuan cash she had that was printed with information about Falun Gong was confiscated. It’s not clear whether she was taken to the police station for interrogation.
Since the Chinese communist regime began to persecute Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline also known as Falun Dafa, in 1999, many practitioners have been printing short messages on paper currency as a way to raise awareness about the persecution, given the strict information censorship in China.
After lunch, Yang Shuai, the director of the Domestic Security Office, came to interrogate the practitioners. He slandered Falun Gong and threatened the practitioners that they’d violated the law by saying that “Falun Dafa is good.”
In the afternoon, police chief Deng, deputy chief Xie, and officer Xiao continued the interrogation.
Officer Xiao questioned Ms. Deng about her name and address, as well as information about her practicing of Falun Gong. She tried to explain that Falun Gong is freely practiced around the world and is being persecuted in China, but he refused to listen.
Xiao also pressed on, asking Ms. Deng whether she printed the messages on the paper currency herself. She refused to answer the questions or sign the deposition.
At around 4 p.m. the police and residential committee staff members raided Ms. Deng’s home when no one was around. They threw her clothes everywhere and confiscated her dozens of Falun Gong books, three computers, two portable drives, six media players, a photo of Falun Gong’s founder, and three 2023 calendars with information about Falun Gong.
When Ms. Deng’s husband later came back home, the community officer Deng Haiqin threatened him that Ms. Deng wasn’t allowed to practice Falun Gong even at home.
The practitioners’ family members were summoned to the police station at around 8 p.m. and forced to sign their bail release documents. The practitioners returned home in the evening.
