(Minghui.org) Minghui.org previously reported the arrests of seven Qingyuan County, Liaoning Province, residents, on July 12, 2024 for practicing Falun Gong. It was recently learned that three other locals were also arrested that same day.
The newly reported cases involve Ms. Huang Yuping, Mr. Liu Haitao, and Mr. Wang Hongwei. Ms. Huang and Mr. Wang were arrested at home, and Mr. Liu was arrested while visiting Huludao City in the same province. The previously reported seven practitioners, including Mr. Wang Nanfang, Mr. Zhou Shuyou, Ms. Hu Fengju, Mr. Wang Zexing, Ms. Lai Chunlian, Ms. Hu Mingli, and Ms. Li Shuqin, were all arrested at home.
Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang Nanfang, Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Lai are currently held at the Dashagou Detention Center in Qingyuan County. It is unclear where Mr. Wang Hongwei is being held. All five female practitioners are held at the Fushun City Detention Center (Fushun oversees Qingyuan County).
Ms. Hu Fengju’s lawyer visited her at the detention center. Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wang Zexing’s lawyers, however, were not allowed to visit them on the grounds that their cases are still under investigation.
Some of the arrested practitioners have been targeted for their faith in the past. Mr. Wang Nanfang, 67, was twice given forced labor and brutally tortured during his detention. Mr. Zhou, 60, was also tortured during his two forced labor terms. Mr. Hu Fengju, 61, was given 1.5 years of forced labor in 1999.
