(Clearwisdom.net) On October 10, 2011, officers from the Shitan Town 610 Office and the Shitan Town Police Station barged into Ms. Liu Fangping's workplace in an attempt to apprehend her. Ms. Liu's superior was opposed to the arrest and criticized the officers in hopes of deterring them, “She is the best employee in our company. Each employee has their own responsibilities and each of them is an integral part of our company. I won't let you take her away.” The officers withdrew without carrying out the arrest.

On October 12, the officers once again entered Ms. Liu's workplace with an order from the Political and Judiciary Committee. After pressuring her superior, they forcibly removed Ms. Liu. They stated that she would be released after 15 days of imprisonment. Ms. Liu's family was informed by her superior, “We will pay her salary as usual. She can return to work after she is released.” Ms. Liu was taken to the Wujiahuayuan Brainwashing Center in Xiangtan City, Hunan Province.

Ms. Liu's husband is also being detained in Jinshi Prison. He was sentenced to serve three years detention in 2009.
