Five Falun Gong Practitioners from Yakeshi City, Inner Mongolia Unlawfully Sentenced to Forced Labor
 

From August 30 to September 6, 2007, police officers Qu Jingping, Liu Tao, and Wang Baolin from Haitie Railroad Police Station and Yitie Railroad Police Station in Inner Mongolia  illegally arrested nine Falun Gong practitioners from Tulihe Township and Yitulihe Township in Yakeshi City.

Practitioner Min Daqing, a 26-year-old employee of Yitie Electricity Department, was arrested at his workplace. The police confiscated the computer he was using at his workplace. The leaders at his workplace tried to stop the police from taking the computer, but the police forcibly took it away. After this incident, people at his workplace all said that this group of policemen were criminals. Later on, the police broke into Min Daqing's home to confiscate his private computer and Dafa books. Before leaving, they also took 1,300 yuan of his family's money. The police said that the cash was their "activity fees." In fact, it was what Mr. Min's family was living on.

A policeman asked Min Daqing's father to sign the list of goods that they took away. His father did not sign and said, "You took my belongings from my home and did not give me a receipt, and you even asked me to sign. Isn't this the behavior of a gangster?" The policeman could say nothing.

Mr. Zou Yugui, in his thirties, is an employee of Yitie House Property Department. On the afternoon of September 6, while on his way home from work, a group of policemen grabbed him from behind and put a bag over his head and then took him away. Later, they ransacked his home.

Ma Huilan (a retired official of Yitie) was arrested on the street on September 6. The policemen sneaked up behind him, put a bag over his head and took him away. Ma Huilan was mentally traumatized by this sudden attack.

Policemen from the Haitie Police Department arrested practitioners in different places on September 6. They were Ms. Zhang Yuxiu (a 44-year-old employee of Yitie Hospital), Ms. Wang Juan (an employee of Yitie Station), Mr. Han (in his sixties, a retired employee in Yitie), and married couple Lu Quanwei and Lu Guiying (39, an employee of Tulihe Forestry).

At present, five of the practitioners have been illegally sentenced to forced labor.
