On December 20th, 2005, 29 Dafa practitioners were arrested in Changde City and a site producing leaflets exposing the persecution was destroyed. Officers from the Wuling District Police Department in Changde City arrested the practitioners and held them at several detention centres. The persecutors tried to obtain more "evidence" through interrogation.

On April 21st, 2006, the Wuling District Procuratorate in Changde City issued a citation statement. In this statement the officials falsely accused Dafa practitioners, who follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, of being "members of a criminal gang." They singled out Dafa practitioner Guo Zhaoqing from Yiyang who had gone into exile to avoid persecution as the "head perpetrator."

Guo Zhaoqing had been holding a hunger strike since his arrest to protest the detention, and escaped from the Li County Hospital on April 23rd, 2006. The police immediately issued a public "wanted " notice for Guo Zhaoqing. On April 28th, agents from the Wuling District Procuratorate issued another Statement of Claim under the same number as the previous one, in which they deleted the sections involving Guo Zhaoqing. In this newly-released statement, they groundlessly charged the other eight practitioners. They accused the practitioners of violating Article 300 of the Criminal Law Code because they made and disseminated truth clarification materials, which constitutes "using a [slanderous term omitted] to disrupt the administration of law." They named seven practitioners aside from Xiong Bifang as "ringleaders of a criminal group" and plotted heavy sentences for them.

All eight practitioners have been persecuted (see information following this article) by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for persisting in their Falun Gong practice, upholding their belief. They have experienced all kinds of tribulations but remained determined. They hope to awaken each person deceived by the CCP's lies with their pure and kind hearts.

With their adherence to wicked Party doctrines, these Wuling District Police Department agents in Changde City and those from the Wuling District Procuratorate enthusiastically followed the persecution policies and fabricated charges against Falun Gong practitioners, calling them "members of a criminal gang." We urgently call for all kind people in the world to extend a helping hand! Together we can rescue the innocent Falun Gong practitioners in Changde City who are being persecuted; let's help them regain their freedom and reunite them with their families!
