Persecution of Falun Gong Escalating in Shanghai

Luo Na / Epoch Times | August 15 2006

As reported by Falun Gong's Minghui Chinese language website, Shanghai Public Security Department, the National Public Security Department and local governments of all levels have escalated the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. In May and June, over a hundred Falun Gong practitioners have been arrested in Shanghai alone.

Three reasons are suspected for the escalation. The first is that the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party issued an order in March to actively suppress anyone who introduces Falun Gong and the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party to people.

The second reason is that authorities are trying to limit the spread of truth in mainland China about live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners, and have begun to kidnap practitioners on a larger scale.

Thirdly, with the G6 summit of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) taking place in June, Shanghai authorities began arresting practitioners in order to further limit the spreading of the truth of the persecution at the SCO summit.

On the evening of July 6, 2006, Falun Gong practitioner Zhang Xiaomei from Xinchang Town of Nanhui County in Shanghai was kidnapped by Xinchang Public Security station and Xinchang Nada residential committee. Her home was searched, and her possessions were confiscated.

On June 26, 2006, Gu Jimin, another female Falun Gong practitioner from Shanghai was kidnapped by policemen when she was visiting another Falun Gong practitioner. Her home was then searched and possessions confiscated. Gu is currently in detention.

On June 14, 2006, Shanghai Dahua Hospital doctor Qian Wuling, went missing on her way back home. She was kidnapped by Shanghai Xuhui Public Security station for practicing Falun Gong.

On May 30, 2006, Chen Yaoqing, an elderly practitioner from Pengpu Town of Zhabei District in Shanghai was kidnapped by policemen from the Zhabei branch 610 Office 1 , and her home was also searched. Chen Yaoqing is currently illegally locked up at the Lingshi Road Detention Center in Zhabei District.
