(Minghui.org) Banners reading “Falun Dafa is Good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good” appeared on the road from Yilan County to Fangzheng County on the morning of January 1, 2013. Governor Wang Xiankui of Heilongjiang Province happened to be traveling through the area that day, and he was furious upon seeing the banners in his province. Fearing for the security of his position, he ordered an investigation to find out the source of the banners.
Within three months, more than 50 practitioners had either been arrested or gone missing.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) appears to be stripping its followers of their last bit of conscience and kindness and is turning them into ruthless subordinates, who simply carry out orders. The mass arrest of Heilongjiang practitioners once again proves that as long as the communist regime is still in power, kindness and justice will be compromised.
Governor Goes Ballistic, Practitioners Suffer
Eager to pacify the governor’s fury, officials from the Heilongjiang Province Public Security Bureau, Harbin City 610 Office, and police department immediately went on high-alert and put together a “Special Case Team” to go to Yilan County and investigate.
By the end of March, more than 50 practitioners had either been arrested or gone missing. When questioned, the police involved in the arrests claimed, “The governor is mad” and “We are carrying out Governor Wang Xiankui’s orders.”

The mass arrests affected practitioners in Yilan, Fangzheng, and other counties and cities under the jurisdiction of Harbin City. This irrational response was carried out because the governor was outraged over the truth-clarification banners, yet what really set him off were the very words “Falun Dafa is good.”
What took place in Heilongjiang was a re-play of what really happened and still is going on in the entire country after Jiang Zemin decided to ban Falun Gong in 1999.
Meticulous Planning of Practitioner Round-up
The IT section chief of the Public Security Bureau in Heilongjiang Province stationed himself in Yilan County to direct the entire investigation. High-tech equipment was used to obtain practitioners' cell phone numbers, and agents were sent out to tap their conversations and follow them. They even used GPS to pinpoint and update the locations of the practitioners every 30 minutes. Police officers even monitored practitioners outside their homes.
Everything was meticulously staged, and the details were only known to certain key members. Even the low-ranking police officers involved in the arrests had no advance knowledge of who they were to target.
Bride-to-be Among the Victims, Valuables Looted
The police sprang into action starting at 6:00 p.m. on March 29, 2013. Separate groups of agents were dispatched to different towns to raid the homes of practitioners and arrest them. The police banged on the doors and windows, or simply scaled the walls and jumped into the courtyards. Without showing any identification or search warrants, they ransacked homes and made arrests.
Police departments and police stations in Yilan, Fangzheng, and Tonghe Counties were involved. In about four days, they arrested more than 50 practitioners. Among the victims were schoolteacher Ms. Hou Yuxiang, who had just returned from a visit to her childhood home in Shandong Province; 69-year-old Ms. Jiang Lianying, who was taking care of her sick husband and her elderly mother in her 100s; as well as bride-to-be Ms. Sun Lili, whose wedding was scheduled to take place within a few days.
Many valuables were confiscated by the police, including cell phones, computers, printers, cars, and even money given by parents to their soon-to-wed daughters.
Nothing Is Excessive in Dealing with Practitioners
To make practitioners succumb, the police resorted to all kinds of tactics, including detention, beatings, intimidation, and interrogation with torture.
Elderly Ms. Wang Hongzhen had a relapse of her heart ailment during her arrest. Jia Shuqin was sent to the emergency room twice after being tortured in the detention center. Mr. Mo Zhikui spit up blood after being tortured during an interrogation at the Harbin City Police Department. The police even interrogated and tortured Ms. Zhang Jingjun’s husband, a non-practitioner, for an entire night before finally releasing him.
The CCP Has No Conscience
No rational person can understand why the police, who often turn a blind eye to prostitution, drug dealing, and gambling, spare no effort in tormenting the kindest people in society.
It is clear that as long as the Party still exists, there will never be a rightful place for kindness and justice in this society. This is not the fault of any single Party member, but the result of the amoral nature of the entire communist organization. The CCP machine tirelessly destroys what kindness and conscience its members might have and is filling their hearts with evilness, selfishness, and brutality.
