At 6:00 a.m. on February 25, 2008, 13 practitioners from Suizhong County of Huludao City, Liaoning Province, were taken into custody. They are Yang Guangwu, Feng Kelan, Yang Zhaofang, Yang Zhaoying, Shen Wenling, Pei Zhihua, Zhou Yingchun, Yang Jiangwei, Li Xiaoming, Fan Dezhen, Yang Xiaoxue, Wang Yuanju, and Zhang Chongyue. The arrests were organized by the Liaoning Province Police Department, the Security Department, and the 610 Office. Other agencies involved were the Huludao City Security Bureau, the Huludao Police Department, the Huludao 610 Office, the Suizhong 610 Office, and the Suizhong Police and Fire Departments.
Yang Zhaoying, second daughter of Yang Guangwu, was once severely persecuted in Suizhong Detention Center and sent to Suizhong County Hospital for emergency treatment. It is said that the police ignored Yang's safety and sent her to Dalian City to be further persecuted.
The police detained and persecuted Zhou Yingchun and Shen Wenling at Huludao Police Hospital. Their families requested visitation rights, but they were denied after waiting for three days. Yang Jiangwei and Li Xiaoming, a married couple, are both detained at Huludao Detention Center. Police officers from Huludao City Police Department and Suizhong County Police Department went together to harass Yang Jiangwei's family. Practitioners Yang Hong and Zhao Liang are now on hunger strikes to appeal in Huludao Detention Center. Fan Dezhen is on a hunger strike in Suizhong Detention Center that has already lasted many days. The police are brutally force-feeding them every day and their relatives are concerned about their safety. Besides the above-mentioned practitioners, another practitioner has been appealing on hunger strike.
