They took away her house key. In the interrogation room, the officers took pictures and made records to show they had arrested a Falun Gong practitioner, and checked her identification. The officers illegally took Ms. Xie to her home and stole items from her house, including a notebook, a computer, a printer and other items which belonged to her grandchild, a senior in high school. Then they threatened her, saying, "Wait for us, we will interrogate you again soon." Later, Ms Xie had to become homeless to avoid further persecution.
