practitioners. Officials in each village and residential community have sent out
people looking for any new truth-clarification materials posted. At the same
time, they have people staked out to keep an eye on specific practitioners. In early April 2008, officers from the Jiucheng Township Police Station in
Qianxi County went to harass Mr. Tang Baoyi at his home in Benxiang Town. He
Liansuo (male) and other officers from the Chezhan Police Station forced the
landlord to open Mr. Lu Zuojin's room while Mr. Lu was not at home. They did not
find anything. Two practitioners, while posting truth-clarification materials,
spotted a police parked inconspicuously with six plainclothes police officers in
it. On April 22-23, the police searched the homes of Ms. Wang Chunying, Mr. Zhao
Qidong, a practitioner with the surname Tian, and several other practitioners.
Officers from the Chengguan Police Station made the false claim that they were
examining real estate paperwork to take note of practitioners' residential ID
number and to find out whether they had personal computers. 63. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Four Practitioners Taken into
Custody At around 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. on April 25, 2008, a dozen police vehicles
arrived at a building between the Binnan area and the Dafangli area in Daowai
District, Harbin City. The police took four practitioners from the building into
a police car. The practitioners shouted, "Falun Dafa is great!" while
confronting the officers regarding on what grounds they were being taken into
custody. Pedestrians stopped and gathered to watch. 64. [Guangdong Province] Shantou City Officials Use Excuse of the Olympics
