(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, claiming that they were "eliminating activities that spread negative propaganda," Shandong Province 610 Office personnel tried to stop Falun Gong practitioners from clarifying the truth to people. At the same time, Shan County of Hezhe City was classified as one of the important counties to be singled out for persecution by the Shandong Province Police Department and Hezhe City Police Department. The police sent special groups from the provincial and city police departments to Shan County for reinforcements and to focus on destroying "truth clarifying" material production sites.

On the afternoon of December 24, 2007, the police arrested practitioners Mr. Qi Jiansheng and Ms. Wang Fenglan in Fugang Town while they were distributing truth clarifying materials. On the night of December 30, they arrested practitioners Mr. Liu Guangchun and Ms. Shen Jin'e at their residence.

The domestic security division officers did not allow the family members to visit the detained practitioners and refused to pass on the clothes and daily necessities that they brought. The police handcuffed the practitioners and locked them in the Fugang Reservoir area. They refused to allow the practitioners to sleep for many days and interrogated them non-stop. They tried to make the practitioners break down mentally. Currently there are four practitioners being illegally detained in the Shan County Detention Center.
