[Minghui Net] Right before Jiang Zemin's arrival, Macao police searched a private home, and attempted to fabricate a charge against Falun Dafa practitioners

At 10:45 pm on December 18, four plainclothes (two policemen and two policewomen) detectives from the Macao Intelligence Bureau came with claims that, they had received a tip saying that there were persons without IDs, guns and contraband in the house. They wanted us to sign a document that allows them to search the house without a criminal judge being present. We requested a judge to come. They said if we did not allow the search, they would take away all four family members (three are practitioners). They even said if we still didn't follow their orders, they would ask the fire brigade to help them break in and search.

We wrote down their names and police numbers, and confirmed with them what were the contraband goods that they talked about. They picked up our IDs, came in and started searching. Dafa practitioners were open and aboveboard, and not afraid of their search. They searched everywhere but found nothing. Finally, they were happy to find some tea in an envelope, and wanted to take it away. We told them seriously that, they were the same tea as the canned ones. But they insisted on taking the tea away. They even said, simply by "suspected identifications", we could be detained for at least six hours.

We asked them if we could divide the tea into two bags so they could take one of them after sealing the bags and signing names. If they fabricate a charge saying the tea were drugs, we could then ask for a public examination. They wouldn't divide the tea, but even insisted on taking all of us away with them. We refused.

At that moment, many news media persons arrived and the police immediately began to act differently. Before the arrival of the reporters, we tried to make phone calls but were interrupted and stopped by them many times. Now, they did not dare to face the media but turned their backs toward the reporters. They were very hesitant, but finally agreed to divide the tea into two and took one away. We asked them to write down exactly what they suspected as contraband goods, seal and sign the bags before taking them away. They were too scared to leave a signature, and finally, they wouldn't take away the bags if they had to sign them. It is evident that they wanted to fabricate a charge against us. In "Rationality", our teacher said, "... as those who attack goodness are bound to be evil. The actions they are now adopting in the crackdown against practitioners and Dafa are extremely wicked and disgraceful, and they fear these will be exposed. People around the world must be informed of their evil deeds...".

They hurried to leave. We asked them to sign the searching results to confirm if personnel without IDs, guns or contraband goods were found in the house. They dared not sign, but left by the stairs--they did not even dare to take the elevator.

As the ceremony for Macao's return to China approached, many practitioners were followed 24 hours a day by plainclothes policemen using cars, motorcycles, walking etc.. We once went to the Police Department to report this, but they wouldn't do anything. They even said, "If you have time, you can also follow others." At noon today, we met many reporters from newspapers and TV stations, and talked about this. It is really vicious to attempt the fabrication of a charge against Falun Gong practitioners.

Macao is a society that is regulated by the law. Nobody shall wantonly violate human rights.

We sincerely appreciate the help from the reporters who gave fair and unbiased reports on this. Thank you.
