Nearly One Hundred Police in Handan City, Hebei Province Surround Chenyangu Village to Arrest Practitioners and Ransack Their Homes
(Clearwisdom.net) On July 1st 2003, the director of the "610 Office" (an agency
specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration
in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems) in Quzhou County, Handan City, Hebei
Province, organized a massive search and seizure operation against Falun Gong practitioners in
Chenyangu Village. Leading nearly one-hundred fully armed police and accompanied by Zhang Dongming,
the Assistant Party Secretary of the Quzhou County, Chen Xibao, the Chief of the Quzhou Public
Security Bureau, and Qiao Linghuai, the head of the Quzhou "610 Office," the Handan City
"610 Office" director arrived at Houcun Town. Then with the help from Houcun Town Police
Station Director Niu Mingtang and Assistant Director Li Bin, they drove to Chenyangu Village in 11
police vans and blocked every street entrance of the entire village. Armed with pistols, electric
batons, and rubber clubs, the police and officials ordered everyone to stay in their homes and
threatened to shoot anyone who disobeyed. The police broke into and ransacked Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhang Fengling's home. Zhang and
his wife were arrested, and the police confiscated their VCD player, two tape recorders, twenty Dafa
tapes, twenty-two Dafa books and other related materials. It was 10:00 pm when they first entered
the village and nearly 11:30 pm when they left. The next day the police took Zhang Fengling's oldest son, Zhang Haipo, to the Houchun Town Police
Station. When director Niu Mingtang and several other police interrogated him in an attempt to
discover details about the truth clarification activities his parents were involved in, Zhang Haipo
said: "I don't know anything about it." Later he was sent to the Quzhou Public Security
Bureau. He was threatened and deceived there but did not give in, and was finally released later
that night. The Handan city "610 Office" interrogated Zhang Fengling and his wife, but they
resisted the persecution and refused to answer their questions. When they went on a hunger strike
for fifteen days to protest the illegal treatment, the police realized that they would not tell
anything and had no choice but to send them back to the Houcun Town Police Station. Afterwards their
family came and brought them home. Practitioner Ms. Li Meilian was arrested by the Quzhou County, Huaiqiao Village Security Office On July 31st 2003, practitioner Li Meilian was arrested by police from the Huaiqiao
Village Police Station while clarifying truth of Falun Gong and the persecution to the public. The
police interrogated her for several hours and then sent her to the county's Public Security Bureau.
She was transferred to an unidentified location afterwards. Ever since the Sixteenth Party's
Congress in, the "610 Office" and Public Security Bureau in Quzhou County, and Huaiqiao
Village Police Station, have tried many times to arrest Li Meilian. The people who are responsible for Meilian's arrest and disappearance are: Qiao Linghuai, the director of the county's "610 Office" The public security bureau: chief: Chen Xibao; deputy chief: Zhao Baozhu; the political committee
