On April 24, 2007, practitioners Ms. Li Guixiang and Li Hui, employees of the Daqing City Materials and Equipment (Group) Corporation, were eating lunch in the dining hall. Yuan Jun from the corporation's Security Office led police officers from the National Security Department Daqing Branch and the Armed Police Forces to ransack the two practitioners' homes; they confiscated a computer. On the morning of April 25, 2007, the officers arrested Ms. Li Guixiang and took her to the Daqing City Detention Center.

On the afternoon of April 24, 2007, officers arrested Mr. Liu Bo from the Longnan neighborhood. The circumstances of the arrest have not been investigated.

Some time after 8:00 a.m. on April 25, 2007, police officers from the Tieren Police Station in Daqing arrested practitioners Ms. Yin Guirong and Mr. Cao from Jingxiadengfeng Village as they left their building. Ms. Yin's home was ransacked that afternoon. The persecutors confiscated Dafa books, a computer, a printer and 2,000 yuan in cash. Ms. Yin's 80-year-old husband was so frightened by the police officers' violent behavior that he lost consciousness. Ms. Yin and Mr. Cao are being held at the Daqing First Detention Center.

Ms. Cao Fengqin, 71, Ms. Yin Guizhi, 70, and Ms. Yang Jinfeng are from the Dengfeng neighborhood in Sa District, Daqing City.
