Between late August and early September 2025, the Jinchang City Police Department directed its subordinate police stations to collect local Falun Gong practitioners’ fingerprints and blood samples. At least 12 locals were confirmed to have been subjected to the new round of persecution over the course of two weeks. Eight of them had their blood samples and fingerprints collected.

His partner and a third officer also went inside and said they were there to take Ms. Liu to the local police station to have her DNA and fingerprints collected.
