Police Break into Elderly Woman’s Home and Change Her Lock Without Her Consent

(Minghui.org) An elderly woman in Maoming City, Guangdong Province and her house aide were repeatedly harassed in the past few months for their shared faith in Falun Gong. Falun Gong practitioners have been targeted by the Chinese communist regime ever since 1999.

More than ten police officers and residential committee staff members went into 84-year-old Ms. Liao Yuying’s home on June 9, 2022. Ms. Liao and her aide, 60-year-old Ms. Mai Weilian, weren’t home, so the police pried open her lock and broke in.

When the police left, they installed a new lock at Ms. Liao’s home. They kept two keys for themselves and asked Ms. Liao’s neighbor to pass the other two keys to her and Ms. Mai. The neighbor questioned why the police came to arrest Ms. Liao again. The officers responded that they didn’t come to arrest her, but to have her sign some statements (to renounce Falun Gong).

The latest harassment of Ms. Liao came only one and half months after her and Ms. Mai’s previous arrests on April 21. Another practitioner, Ms. Deng Yuqiong, who happened to be visiting Ms. Liao, was arrested as well. While Ms. Liao was released in the evening, Ms. Mai and Ms. Deng were released after ten days of detention.
