(Minghui.org) Today's news from China includes incidents of persecution that took place in 10 cities or counties in 4 provinces. According to this report, 7 Falun Gong practitioners were subjected to mistreatment during their detention, and at least 5 practitioners were illegally arrested.
Officers led by Wei Zhaohui, head of the Xinji City Domestic Security Division, broke into Mr. Chen Jianjun's home in Hongqiying Village, Hemujing Township on March 28, 2014. They ransacked the home and confiscated 1600 yuan in paper money with the facts about Falun Gong written on them, along with a computer, a printer, a DVD burner, a photo of the founder of Falun Gong, and several Falun Dafa books. Mr. Chen was handcuffed and taken to the Domestic Security Division.
The officers tried but failed to take Mr. Chen to a detention center. So they extorted 3,000 yuan from Mr. Chen's family as bail.
In June 2014, Wei Zhaohui and the Xinji City Procuratorate again came to persecute Mr. Chen. People came to Mr. Chen's home to monitor and harass his family. Mr. Chen was forced to leave, and has stayed away from home since then to avoid further persecution.
