    On December 30, 2007, Zhang Hua, leader of the Case Team in the Development District Police Branch in Qidaoquanzi, Chaoyang City, along with political director Hong Guanghui and others, broke into the home of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Bo Caifeng. They stole a TV, a VCD, a satellite receiver, and other items associated with receiving NTDTV programs. They also ransacked boxes and chests looking for cash and left her home in a complete mess. They even searched the kitchen stove.

    When the police saw that Ms. Bo was not at home, they illegally arrested her daughter, Ms. Cao Yanyan, who had been married for only ten days and had happened to come back to visit her family. They even confiscated 8,000 yuan from her bag. The money had been given to her by friends and family on her marriage. The police are still holding Ms. Cao in Shijia Detention Center.

    Falun Gong Practitioners Illegally Arrested in Daqing City

    Since mid-November 2007, the Domestic Security Team in Daqing City, Tieren District Police Branch, Datong District Police Branch, Honggang District Police Branch, Babaixiang District Police Branch, and a police station in Ranghu Road have been arresting Falun Gong practitioners on a large scale. Statistics from the Minghui reports show that about ten practitioners were arrested, "illegally detained," and their homes ransacked. About nine practitioners were fined, threatened, and harassed, and their homes were ransacked. Three practitioners were forced to become homeless.

    In mid-November, Fan Chunming from Teiren District Police Branch and deputy chief Dai Feng instigated plainclothes police and Officers Sheng Bao and Gao Fu from the police station in Dengfeng Village, Jingxia, Daqing, to arrest a male practitioner and ransack his home. They also ransacked the homes of another five practitioners and fined them. They confiscated three computers and Falun Gong books. Ms. Xing Guilan was not at home, but the police broke open the door and ransacked her house. They confiscated two large bags of Falun Gong books.

    On December 12, Feng Haibo, leader of the Domestic Security Team, Liu Tianwei, director of the local 610 Office and the deputy chief of Datong District Police Branch, and Han Lichen, chief of the police station at the 7th Oil Production Plant, along with others--eight altogether--broke into the home of practitioners Mr. Liu Desheng and his wife, Ms. Sun Zhanqin, who are over 60 years old. They illegally arrested Mr. Liu, ransacked their house, and confiscated a laptop, a CD burner, and 101 CDs. They also took away notes to be used as evidence. Liu Desheng is now detained at the Fifth Custodial Station in Daqing City. He has been on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. He was very weak and had illness symptoms. Liu Tianwei, deputy chief of the police department, didn't allow Mr. Liu's family to visit him.

    On December 17-21, Lin Shui, a policeman from Honggang District Police Branch, along with others, arrested practitioners on a large scale in their jurisdiction and ransacked practitioners' homes. The victims included 58-year-old Li Yajie from the Fourth Factory of the Oil Production Factory, 60-year-old Su Guifan and Lao Wen, Ms. Chen Fengzhen, Wang Dezhi, Wei Shuqin and another older lady whose name is unknown from the 5th Oil Production Factory, Feng Lianxia and elderly Ms. Yang. Wei Shuqin was released, and Wang Decheng and Su Guifan managed to walk free from the police and are now homeless. Chen Fengzhen and Li Yajie were sent to Daqing Custodial Station, and the whereabouts of the other practitioners are unknown. Ms. Chen Fengzhen has been on a hunger strike and has symptoms of severe heart disease. Her health is precarious, but the police still threaten that they will not release her as long as she is still alive.

    On December 23, Yu Changjun, deputy chief of Babaixiang District Police Branch, along with another five or six policemen, deceived 58-year-old practitioner Li Bingying from Babaixiang, Daqing City, and then broke into her house. They arrested her and ransacked the house. She was taken to the custodial station in Daqing City and illegally detained.

    On December 27, 40-year-old practitioner Ms Wang Guihua, who lived at Fangxiaolou District, Daqing City, was arrested. The details of her case need to be investigated.
