Police Station and other scoundrels from the local joint security team in
conducting a large-scale arrest of Falun Dafa practitioners. They broke into
practitioners' homes at will. Many practitioners have been forced out of their
homes and have been wandering from place to place to avoid persecution. Even
women and infants are not spared. The police forcibly took away a female Falun
Dafa practitioner along with her four-month-old baby, which angered local
residents. When the practitioner was sent to the Dabailou Detention Center in
the Caibei area, the detention center refused to take them in as the baby was
too young. Only then were the mother and baby released. 5. [Anshan City, Liaoning Province] New Round of Inhumane Brainwashing

Persecution Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Mao Jingxian is from Guangzhou City, Guangdong
Province. On July 9, she was abducted and brought to the Sanshui City Legal
Cadres' Institute in Guangdong Province for brainwashing. A police officer first
lied to her by saying "go to the neighborhood administration for a talk," and
threatened that they were supposed to "use force if she refused to comply." As
soon as Ms. Mao stepped out of her home, the police forcibly took her directly
to the brainwashing center. At least four organizations were involved in Ms.
Mao's abduction: the Tianhe District Party Committee, which is the primary
conspirator, the Tianhe Division of the Police Department, which carried out the
scheme, the neighborhood committee in the Nanyayuan community in the Tianhe area
of Tianhe District, which offered assistance, and the Sanshui City Legal Cadres'

continuously been persecuted since July 20, 1999. They have been unlawfully

"Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance," near where the Gaizhou City No. 13 Army
is stationed. [Note: Without access to any typical means of communication
such as newspapers, magazines, TVáor radio, Falun Gong practitioners have
resorted to many creative and sometimes unusual methods for raising awareness
among the Chinese people about the persecution.] Army sentries spotted them and they were sent to the Gaizhou Police
Department. Both practitioners are currently being unlawfully held in the
Gaizhou City Detention Center. It has been reported that they will be sent
