Falun Dafa Practitioner Zhang Bo from Tonghua City, Jilin Province Arrested by Police Again

(Clearwisdom.net) In the afternoon of April 3, 2007, Falun Dafa practitioner Zhang Bo was fetching her son from kindergarten in Tonghua City, Jilin Province, along with the six-year-old child of a relative. Suddently, within a few feet of reaching her home, police officers Zhou Fuyou and Tian Kaiyuan--in plainclothes--jumped out of a red taxi and abducted Zhang Bo, forcing her into the taxi. The police searched Zhang Bo's pockets for keys, opened her front front door, and fled after shoving the two children inside.

The two children started crying for their mothers, and a kind passer-by brought the children to the nearby Xinzhan Public Security Bureau. However, Zhou Fuyou, Wu Guoqing and four other police officers pushed the children out of the Public Security Bureau and threatened to beat them.

Dafa practitioner Zhang Bo, thirty-five years old, traveled to Beijing on April 28, 2000 to appeal to the government for justice for Falun Gong. At that time, Ms. Zhang was six months pregnant. As she had not brought her identity card, she could not stay in a hotel and had to spend a night in the corridor of a residential apartment. The next day, Ms. Zhang traveled to Tiananmen Square and held up a banner that read, "Falun Dafa is good!" She was illegally detained in a metal cage at the Tiananmen Square Front Gate Public Security Bureau. Thereafter, Zhang Bo was brought back to the Xinzhan Public Security Bureau by Zhang Yuanli, where she was detained for another night.

On December 25, 2001, Bao Yuquan, Tian Kaiyuan, Zhang Yuanli and Wu Kai (Leader of the Political Protection Section in the Dongcang Public Security Division Bureau) from the Xinzhan Public Security Bureau illegally broke into Zhang Bo's home and ransacked the place. Ms. Zhang was forcibly taken away. Zhang Bo's son was only thirteen months old then, and had a high fever. The baby had a runny nose and was so frightened that he cried loudly. Under such circumstances, the police even took Zhang Bo's husband (who is not a Falun Gong practitioner) away to the Xinzhan Public Security Bureau and kept him there for an entire night.

Zhang Bo was forced to live in exile with her baby in order to avoid further arrest and harassment. Thereafter, the Xinzhan Public Security Bureau, together with the Wangou Public Security Bureau, came to Zhang Bo's family and her in-law's family several times to harrass them. Zhang Huaming from the Xinzhan Public Security Bureau (since transferred to the Laozhan Public Security Bureau) would come to Zhang Bo's mother-in-law's home every two or three days to harrass her. As a result of this ongoing harassment, Zhang Bo was forced to live in exile for eight months.

One day in mid-August 2004, during the rainy season, just as a storm ended, police officer Wang Jiming from the Xinzhan Police Station brought another plainclothes policeman to Ms. Zhang's family and tried to deceive Zhang Bo's father-in-law: they said that they were from the Civil Affairs Bureau and had come to check if the family had been affected by the heavy rain. The police officers lied, saying that they would give the family funds to help them with some slight flooding. This was a pretext to discover the whereabouts of Zhang Bo. The elderly grandfather revealed that Zhang Bo worked at Xinhuaqiao Bakery. At around 2:00 p.m., Wang Jiming brought two police officers from the Wangou Public Security Bureau to the bakery, and lied again, saying that they were looking for Zhang Bo to buy a cake. When Zhang Bo emerged, policeman Wang asked her to follow them back. When Zhang Bo refused, the two police officers started dragging her. It became very violent and the onlookers could not stand it anymore. They said that the police were abducting people in broad daylight! When someone asked them for warrants or legal documents for the arrest, police officer Wang Jiming replied, "Do you think I need documents to arrest people?"

Ms. Zhang was forcibly taken to the Xinzhan Public Security Bureau. Eight police officers, including Wang Jimin and Ma Qiang, beat her to the ground. Then they dragged Zhang Bo down to the ground floor and drove her to Wangou Public Security Bureau. Along the way, Ms. Zhang kept shouting, "Falun Dafa is good!" After Zhang Bo went on a hunger strike to protest against the illegal arrest, she was released.

In July 2005, the deputy director of the Xinshan Community, a person surnamed Liu, called to set up a forced brainwashing class under the misleading name of "Education Class." At the same time, Zhang Bo's home was surrounded by plainclothes police and she was again forced to live in exile for several months.

At 8:00 a.m. on December 7, 2006, Re-education Leader Zhang Xiaoxu from the Xinzhan Public Security Bureau led Ma Qiang, Tian Kaiyuan, Bao Yuquan and another policeman surnamed Wang went to Zhang Bo's home. They hid themselves outside the door and once Ms. Zhang's family members left the house, they rushed in to ransack the place. Without showing any identification, they took away Ms. Zhang's husband and forced him to sign his name on a document. He was threatened by the police who told him that if he did not sign his name he would be sent to the detention center. After a day's detention, her husband was released home.

A few hours later on the same day, Ma Qiang and two other policeman went to Zhang Bo's work place (Luyang Kindergarten) to look for Zhang Bo's friends. They lied, saying that Ms. Zhang's husband wanted to send the children to kindergarten. Zhang Bo was not around at that time. When the two policeman came again at 2:00 p.m., Zhang Bo was able to escape.

On April 3, 2007, when Zhang Bo was fetching her child home from the kindergarten, police officers Zhou Fuyou and Tian Kaiyuan abducted her in broad daylight just a few feet from her home and forced her into their vehicle.

Zhang Bo is currently illegally imprisoned in the local detention center and is being persecuted there. To date, the evil Party has not notified Zhang Bo's family of her arrest.

Many Dafa disciples in Tonghua City has been harrassed and persecuted recently. In the afternoon of April 4, 2006, Dafa practitioner Zhang Jian's home was illegally broken into by police from the Dongcang Public Security Bureau, and his computer, printer and cellphone were confiscated. Zhang Jian was not at home, but his mother Pang Zengju was taken away and released at 7:00 p.m. In the afternoon of April 5, Dafa practitioner Wang Ronglan's home was also broken into by police from the Dongcang Public Security Bureau. All her Dafa books were confiscated and Ms. Wang was also illegally arrested.
