(Clearwisdom.net) The family of Mr. Zhou Xiaobo, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Ruian City, Zhejiang Province, are innocent people who have been persecuted by the local 610 Office under the Chinese Communist Party. The persecution has torn this family apart. Nonetheless, the 610 Office has blamed Falun Dafa for the tragedy, attempting to cover its crimes by using propaganda to deceive the local people.

Mr. Zhou Xiaobo was a doctor at Tangxia Town Hospital, in Ruian City, Zhejiang Province. One day, he went to visit a fellow villager at his home and was caught by a street camera. On November 7, 2007, he was illegally arrested by an agent from the local 610 Office of the Public Security Bureau. His family has not seen him since. (For more details, please visit: http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2008/1/7/92995.html) This case has now been transferred to the Procuratorate.

Mr. Zhou was on his way to pick up his father's prescription drugs when he was arrested by the police. Shortly after, his home was ransacked and a large amount of valuables were stolen.

Mr. Zhou helped take care of his family business since his father was diagnosed with cancer. After he was arrested, the business was forced to close down. The Zhou family had originally borrowed hundreds of thousands of yuan from the bank by mortgaging their house. Facing bankruptcy of their business and the hundreds of thousands of yuan being spent for treating the father's illness, the house is on the verge of being repossessed by the bank. The family is now in a desperate situation.

The arrest of Mr. Zhou has affected his father emotionally and his health has deteriorated. Since January 2008, he declined treatment by the hospital and has gone home. Enduring great pain, he misses his son and hopes that he can see him one last time before he passes away. Even though the family is in such a terrible situation, the 610 Office has made secret plans to sentence Mr. Zhou and several other practitioners.

Mr. Zhou's mother gets nauseous when she thinks about her son being in detention, and she has become despondent. Mr. Zhou's grandmother is an older woman in poor health. Greatly hurt by her grandson's arrest, she can't utter a word and is on the brink of death.

The police arrested two other practitioners at the same time as Zhou Xiaobo. One of them has the name Afei, and is a male practitioner from Mayu Town, and the other one is a female practitioner whose name is unknown. The local 610 Office has coerced, intimidated, and deceived Xiaoqin, Afei's sickly wife, to testify against Mr. Zhou, and they promised the release of her husband if she agreed to their terms. In fact, the 610 Office already had plans to sentence both Mr. Zhou and Afei.

This tragedy has been directly caused by Huang Jinliang, the director of the 610 Office. It was revealed by someone with inside information that when the family members of the practitioners went to the Public Security Bureau to demand the release of their relatives, the 610 Officers were very fearful and tried to shirk their responsibilities. They tried to hide the list which had the names of all the 610 Office staff and their respective departments and posts. There was no signature on the arrest warrant. They spoke in an inconsistent manner and threatened the family members, ordering them not to expose their actions to the outside world.
