Police Arrest Ms. Ning Li to Make Way for Communist Leader's Arrival in Liaoning Province

(Clearwisdom.net) At around 4 p.m. on July 6, 2009, police from the Bayuquan District Domestic Security Division broke into practitioner Ms. Ning Li's home in Xiongyue Town. They then took her to the Bayuquan Domestic Security Division.

Afterwards, someone revealed that CCP leader Xi Jinping was scheduled to visit the region to do inspections on the morning of July 7, 2009. Everywhere he went, the security was heightened. No person or car was allowed to pass. Practitioners living near the streets where Xi went by were arrested. Guotun Village, Xiongyue Town, where Ms. Ning lived, was one of the inspection sites.

In the afternoon on July 6, 2009, the police began to clear the roads and continued until the morning of July 7, 2009. The entire Xiongyue region was in a state of heightened security. There were police present at every intersection, especially the area surrounding Guotun Village. Every intersection was closed to cars and pedestrians. Regular and plainclothes officers were everywhere. According to sources, plainclothes officers from the Domestic Security Division were already performing "security defense" work in Guotun Village a month ago.

At around 7 p.m. on the night of the arrest, staff from the Bayuquan Domestic Security Division called Ms. Ning's home twice and told family members to bring money. Family members heard Ms. Ning saying, "We have no money." The first call came from a landline phone: 86-417-6217005. The second call was from a cellphone: 86-13841750007.

Ms. Ning Li's family went to the division at around 9 p.m., but they had already left work. The gate guard told them that Ms. Ning was being detained at the Bayuquan Detention Center. The family went there, but the detention center authorities said that they did not have a jail for women. Ms. Ning was transferred to the Yingkou City Detention Center at around 7 p.m. that night.

Since the persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999, the Bayuquan Domestic Security Division has extorted countless amounts of money from practitioners' family members, ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan. After they took the money, they would released the practitioner. If there was no or insufficient payment, then the practitioner would be sentenced.

In the morning on July 7, 2009, the family arrived at the Yingkou City Detention Center and asked to see Ms. Ning. The detention center guard asked for money, but the family members refused to pay. When they eventually saw Ms. Ning and asked her what had happened, she said that the police had arrived at her home and found a CD when they went inside. The police told her to come with them in order to discuss the situation. This is how Ms. Ning was arrested. When the family heard this, they requested her release, but the guards refused. The guards told the family to ask for her release at the Bayuquan Domestic Security Division.

The following people are known to have participated in the persecution. Practitioners are requested to supplement the missing information.

Bayuquan Domestic Security Division: 86-417-6217505
Wang Hongkui, Captain of the Bayuquan Domestic Security Division: 86-13841755119 (Cell)
