(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Tang Xiangzhi, about 70 years old, is a Falun Dafa practitioner in Chenzhou City, Hunan Province. Before practicing Falun Dafa, she had severe gastric disease, diabetes, headaches, and toothaches. After practicing Falun Dafa, all of her illnesses disappeared. She follows the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and is a good person in society and with her family. This good person was recently persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
On the morning of March 18, 2009, Ms. Tang walked to Suxianling Mountain. On the way, she met four Falun Dafa practitioners. They tired and took a rest in a small pavilion near the mountain. A police patrol soon passed the pavilion. The officers approached and charged the group with illegal assembly. The police refused to hear any explanation and forcibly took them to the Suxian District Police Station.
At 3 p.m., three police officers from the Suxian District National Security Team drove a police vehicle to Ms. Tang's home. Without a search warrant, they took Dafa books, videotapes of lectures, audiotapes, Dafa materials, recorders, two jade items, 800 yuan in cash, vouchers worth 200 yuan, and other items. Ms. Tang kindly explained the facts about Falun Gong to those policemen, hoping they would wake up and not help the evil CCP. However, she and the four other practitioners were still detained for two weeks. Their families were forced to pay boarding fees of 300-500 yuan.
