(Minghui.org) A middle school teacher was arrested at work on April 27, 2023 for his faith in Falun Gong. His family has been denied visits with him since then.
Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
Mr. Cheng Panfeng, in his 40s, has been working at the Songyuan Middle School in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province since he graduated from college in 2002. While he was working in the school on April 27, 2023, a school administrator called him to the office. He went there, only to be arrested and taken to the Zhuyuan Police Station.
Shortly after Mr. Cheng’s arrest, the police broke into his two residences and confiscated his Falun Gong books, IDs, iPad, laptop and private car. His family went to the police station in the evening several times to inquire about his case, but the police refused to provide any information, with the excuse that his case was confidential. The police also denied the family’s request to visit or call him.
After nearly 24 hours of interrogation at the police station, Mr. Cheng was transferred to the Zhongshan City Detention Center on criminal detention on the evening of April 28.
Several plainclothes officers and residential committee staff members harassed Mr. Cheng’s family at home at around 6 p.m. on May 2, warning them not to seek information about Mr. Cheng’s case. Despite the family’s strong demand, only one officer showed his ID.
Mr. Cheng’s family is calling on the international community to pay attention to his case. They also demanded his immediate release and the return of his confiscated items.
