After practising Falun Gong, Mr. Ni Zhenxuan got rid of his hot temper and found his illnesses cured. His health returned and his temper disappeared. He started a sofa factory. Mr. Ni's 89-year-old mother lives in his home. In the past, Mr. Ni and his wife would take turns to care for his mother and a disabled uncle who suffers from many illnesses.

On the afternoon of March 4th, 2011, five Falun Gong practitioners from the same village went to Mr. Ni's home to help take care of his mother. The practitioners and his mother studied the Falun Gong teachings together. Suddenly, several policemen rushed into Mr. Ni's home and dragged the five practitioners into police vehicles and drove away. The police also tried to arrest Mr. Ni's wife, but were not successful.

Afterwards, the police ransacked Mr. Ni's home and removed his satellite dish, a computer, and other personal property. They then ransacked Mr. Ni's sofa factory. They confiscated a copy machine and other property, and arrested Mr. Ni, who was working there. Later on, Mr. Ni was sent to the Shijiazhuang Second Detention Centre. His family has not been allowed to visit him.

At 10 a.m. on March 13th, Mr. Ni's family received a forced labour notification from police which required their signature. None of them signed the document. The police threatened his family: “It is illegal to have an assembly and read scriptures.” Currently, Mr. Ni's whereabouts are unknown.

The five practitioners were detained in the Shijiazhuang Detention Centre. After an eight-day hunger strike, they were released.
