Later, officers from the Yangkou Town Police Department arrested the three practitioners.

On the morning of March 8, 2005, practitioner Ms. Zhao Yunyan and her family had not yet gotten up when officer Sun Liwei and some other policemen from the Qianjin Police Precinct from the Mudanjiang City Railway Administration broke into her home, ransacked it and then arrested her. At first, they claimed they would bring Zhao to the police precinct "for a talk," but after arriving at the police precinct, personnel from Mudanjiang City's Police Department took Zhao back home and ransacked her house again. The third day they put Zhao Yunyan in the city's Xinglong Detention Center.

At around 2:00 p.m. on March 8, 2005, four people from the National Security Section of the police department in the city's Railway Administration Bureau, the Wuxing Police Precinct chief, and three other police officers deceived practitioner Ms. Ren Yanjie's brother-in-law into leading them to Ren Yanjie's home. They arrested Ren Yanjie and then ransacked her home. At present, Ren Yanjie is being held in the Railway Administration Bureau Detention Center.

They used four cars and arrived at and broke into practitioner Ge Shubin's home. They searched everywhere, from the greenhouse to each corner in the house. They confiscated a large amount of Falun Gong truth-clarifying materials, weekly newsletters from the Minghui (Clearwisdom) and Zhengjian (Pureinsight) websites and other items.

10. [Changsha City, Hunan Province] Dong Zailin Arrested for Distributing Falun Gong Truth-Clarifying Materials

Practitioner Ms. Dong Zailin from Changsha City is 52 years old. After July 20, 1999 she was held in the Zhuzhou City's Baimalong Women's Forced Labor Camp.

On February 21, 2005, police arrested practitioner Huang Qiumei from Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province without due cause. Now her whereabouts are unknown. Her family members dare not speak out due to police pressure, thus the details are unknown.

Practitioner Huang Qiumei, in her 70s, became healthy since she practiced Falun Dafa. After July 20, 1999 she went to appeal for Falun Gong and distributed truth-clarifying materials. She has been put into forced labor camps, detention centers and brainwashing classes. She has been arrested for at least five times.

12. [Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Li Yinzhi Arrested and Her Home Searched

Practitioner Ms. Li Yinzhi, 60 years old, lives on the 21st floor at the dorm affiliated with the Hebei Daily Newspaper. At about 10:00 a.m. on March 15, 2005, policemen searched her home and confiscated all Falun Dafa materials, a printer and even her cell phone. We have heard that the policemen had arrived with a search warrant. Her friend then could not locate her.

Her friend went to the East Yuhua Street Police Precinct to find her, but failed. Precinct personnel said that the policemen in charge of the dorm had gone out to arrest Falun Gong practitioners and hadn't returned; so it was highly possible that Li Yinzhi has been arrested and taken to the Yuhua Police Precinct of Shijiazhuang City Police Department.
