Latest Update on the Arrests of Falun Gong Practitioners in Dingzhou City, Hebei Province
(Clearwisdom.net) A Housewife from Pengjia Village Was Arrested and Her Family Property
Confiscated Ms. Shu Lian is from Pengiia Village, Liqingu Town, Dingzhou City. She is
about 39 years old. On November 17, 2007, the local police of Liqingu Town
barged into her home and confiscated her family's property. They took away Dafa
books and truth-clarification materials. They also confiscated her
New Tang Dynasty TV antenna. They arrested her and took her to the Liqingu Town
Police Station. She is being held in detention. Several days ago, when Ms. Shu clarified the truth about the persecution of
Falun Gong to villager Peng Pingfu, Peng reported her to the local police. On
November 17, Shu Lian was called to the village head's office and forced to
write a guarantee statement. She clarified the truth to the village
head and then was arrested. According to an insider, Peng Pingfu later received 500 yuan as a
reward for reporting Ms. Shu. Ms. Xu Tongyan from Liqingu Village Was Arrested and her Family Property
Confiscated Just before October 1 (China's National Day holiday), Liqingu Town police
barged into Ms. Xu Tongyan's home, confiscated her family property,
illegally arrested her, and took her to the police station. That
night she was hung up and beaten by police officers while she was handcuffed.
Later, with righteous thoughts, she escaped. Liqingu Town head deceived her family and said, "Have her come home. We
guarantee it will be all right." Her family members believed him, so Ms. Xu
was found, and she returned home. The Liqingu Town police promptly arrested her
and still have her in detention. Because she continues to explain the truth about Falun Gong, Ms. Xu has been
repeatedly persecuted. When the Chinese Communist Party first started to
persecute Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Xu Tongyan was held in the detention
center for more than 30 days and 700 yuan was extorted from her. From 2000 to
2002, she was "illegally imprisoned" in the Chinese Communist Party
Institute and taken to Erzhi Brainwashing Center three times and the detention
center twice. More than 1,300 yuan was extorted from her. During this period,
villager Cheng Xiaodong and the village security staff also extorted a
"deposit fee" of 250 yuan. Zhang Yaxun, Liqingu Town Communist Party Secretary: 86-312-2602868 (Office),
