Police Use Jiang’s “Policy Of Implication” Against Dafa Practitioners’ Families

On January 27th, 2002, nineteen practitioners who were being illegally detained honourably walked out of the Third Detention Centre in Anshan City, Liaoning Province. After that, the Liaoning Province Public Security Department, the Anshan City Public Security Bureau, and their subordinate policemen illegally detained and held hostage all the family members and relatives of the 19 practitioners in retaliation. The family members have not been released since they were arrested on the 27th. In addition, they have been threatened that they must hand over the Dafa practitioners or else the family members will be detained for an additional 15 days and they will receive a one-year detention in the labour camp [without trial].

Some practitioners have 4 or 5 family members in prison at the same time. These family members may include spouses, sisters, brother-in-laws, parents of sister-in-law's, and brother-in-laws. Under the order of Jiang, even practitioners' relatives are implicated.

During national holidays, Jiang's group has intensified the persecution of Dafa practitioners by arresting practitioners everywhere. Already, there have been quite a few practitioners arrested in different places throughout Liaoning Province. The policemen often harass the families and neighbours of Dafa practitioners.

Urgently appeal to the world human rights organizations and all the world's kind-hearted people: work together to stop the Public Security Bureau of Anshan City from persecuting the family and relatives of Dafa practitioners; request them to release all the family members who are detained.
