They shattered windows at practitioners' homes and broke in. A total of seven Falun Dafa practitioners were illegally taken to the detention center in a single night.

All local Falun Dafa practitioners were sending righteous thoughts on their behalf. One practitioner broke out of the detention center on the ninth day. On November 24, it was reported that the police department planned to carry out another round of arrests the following day.

Not only was this plot thwarted, but the remaining six practitioners were also rescued from the detention center.

5. [Heilongjiang Province] Heilongjiang Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Shao Ying Unlawfully Arrested by Police for the Second Time

Ms. Shao Ying, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Mishan City, Heilongjiang Province, is a survivor of the tragic deaths in the Wanjia Forced Labor Institute. She was released in August 2001, several months after her official release date. Ms. Shao was able to stay at home for only a few months. Fellow practitioners revealed the facts of the tragic deaths in the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp, and the forced labor camp conspired with the Mishan City Police Department to arrest Ms. Shao again. To avoid being arrested, she left home, staying away from her young son, husband, and elderly mother.

In spite of this, in March 2003, Ms. Shao was again arrested at a Falun Gong materials storage site in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. The police are planning to sentence her to a harsh prison term. As a result of deceptive propaganda, many people in the company where Ms. Shao worked were brainwashed. Her husband also fell victim to the propaganda and even appeared on local TV, complaining that his wife did not take care of the family. The misfortune of the whole family was entirely the doing of Jiang's regime.

7. [Beijing] Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Liu Lan Arrested by the Beijing "610 Office"

Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Lan, 30, graduated from the Beijing Aerospace Industry University. She is originally from Shiyan, Hubei Province and now lives in Beijing. On October 28, 2002, members of the "610 Office" broke in through the door and arrested her and another female practitioner, with whom she had been producing truth-clarifying materials. She was later unlawfully held at the Fengtai District Detention Center in Beijing. Since May 2003, no one has had any information about her despite constant inquiries. Authorities at the Fengtai Detention Center have denied that Ms. Liu is held there.

Ms. Liu Lan was arrested seven or eight times for validating Falun Dafa. She had thwarted any possible forced labor or jail terms by holding hunger strikes, abstaining from food and water. With the support of Master Li as well as her own righteous thoughts and acts, she has time and again walked out of very bad situations maintaining her dignity and calm. It has been half a year since anyone last heard anything from her.
