in Nanjing city at the same time in 2002. Their families are very worried

specifically created by the Chinese government to persecute Falun Gong. It has
absolute power over each level of administration in the Party, as well as over
the political and judiciary branches] ordered police officers to start a new
round of persecution of Dafa practitioners. On May 12 and 13 many Dafa
practitioners were illegally arrested and their homes searched. Some of them
were arrested while working in the fields on their farms, and others were
arrested while visiting relatives or friends. According to witnesses, the
brainwashing center is not able to hold the number of Dafa practitioners that
were arrested. Police are considering sending them to detention centers. It's believed that a Chinese couple who are Nigerian citizens were also

arrested even though they are not Dafa practitioners. The "610 Office"
is still actively persecuting Dafa practitioners. Phone numbers of the relevant
