A Crowd Berates the Yanjiang Town Police for Forcibly Arresting a 60-Year-Old Falun Gong Practitioner

June 10, 2004 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) After 6 p.m. on May 10, 2003, a black car appeared outside the teahouse on East Street in Yanjiang Town, Ziyang City. Yanjiang District National Security Division Head Zhu Xiaoyong, policeman Huang Guangwu, and others got out of the car and knocked violently on the door of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Ren Yuehui's home. Ms. Ren refused to open the door. Zhu and the others then went to find her husband Zhang Xinquan in the teahouse. Against his will, Mr. Zhang was forced by the police to go to his home. The cement layer around the security door had already been knocked off. After Mr. Zhang unlocked the security door, Zhu and several policemen swarmed inside and kicked down the door of Ms. Ren's bedroom. At that time, more than ten policemen dispatched by Zhu Xiaoyong had arrived in police cars. The atmosphere was quite tense.

Downstairs, more and more people came to see what was happening.

Inside Ms. Ren's home, Zhu sprang on Ms. Ren to arrest her. Seeing this, Mr. Zhang held his wife without letting her go. Zhu then hit the elderly man, who was in his 60s, with his fists and ordered the other policemen to drag him to the police car as well.

There were more than 100 people watching around the teahouse by that time. Dozens of people in the front swarmed forward and dragged Ms. Ren and Mr. Zhang out of the police car. The people in the back loudly condemned Zhu and the others, "They are good people. We won't allow you to arrest good people at will! Why are you doing such a thing?" Zhu Xiaoyong and Huang Guangwu replied slyly, "It has nothing to do with you all. We only want Ren Yuehui to answer a few questions. We'll release her after we're done." They then said to the people who were protecting Ms. Ren and Mr. Zhang, " We will compromise and not arrest Zhang Xinquan (Mr. Zhang is a non-practitioner), but we must take away Ren Yuehui."

Then several police dragged Ms. Ren forcefully from the crowd, handcuffed her and pushed her into the police car. Seeing the policemen like Zhu Xiaoyong bullying the innocent elderly couple, the people watching could not stand it any longer. One stepped up and slapped Zhu heavily in the face. In the end, it took several police cars more than an hour to leave the scene. The clear, resonant voice of the elderly practitioner was echoing in the air during the whole process, "Falun Dafa is Good!" "Return Innocence to Falun Dafa!" Mr. Zhang called loudly to his wife, "You must be steadfast. I will wait for your return!"
