Mother and Son from Liaoning Province Arrested after Unfurling Banners on Tiananmen Square on July 20, 2007
(Clearwisdom.net) On July 20, 2007, Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Xu Hui
and her son, Mr. Cai Chao, from Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, went to Beijing
together to unfurl banners on Tiananmen Square. They were arrested by officers
from the Tiananmen Police Department and are being detained in the Dongcheng
District Detention Center. The banners they held up read: "Heaven Will
Destroy the CCP" and "Stop the CCP's Atrocity of Harvesting Living
Falun Gong Practitioners' Organs!" Their family tried to discover their whereabouts and learned that the two
hadn't told the police their names. The Dongcheng District Detention Center
refused to allow the family to visit and only provided a photo for the family to
identify them. Files and cellphone recordings show that both the mother and son were
interrogated. In the photo, Ms. Xu's face was very red, as if she had been
beaten. Because Mr. Cai Chao's photo was too blurry, the guards let his family
look at him from a dozen yards away. His family still could not see him clearly
and tried to walk closer, but they were blocked by armed guards and not allowed
to talk to him. After the identification, the guards did not disclose any details and only
allowed the family to leave money and wait at home for further notice. The guard who met with the family is surnamed Cao (gender unknown, did not
wear ID tag). The family asked lots of question and the guards seemed to know
nothing about the mother and son. Relevant phone numbers: Beijing Tiananmen Police Department: 86-10-65241304 August 12, 2007 Posting date: 8/16/2007 |
