 Here are some references to the Luo Gan/He Zuoxiu connection in reliable sources: 

 An occurrence on Fuyou Street: the communist myth of Falun Gong's original sin 
 National Review, July 20, 2009 by Ethan Gutman 

 :In 1999, the Public Security Bureau estimated that Falun Gong had attracted 70 million practitioners, 5 million more people than belonged to the Communist party itself. It was at that point that a physicist published an article in a Tianjin Normal University journal portraying Falun Gong as a dangerous cult. China isn't the West, and these things aren't random: The physicist, He Zuoxiu, is the brother-in-law of Luo Gan, at that time the head of public security, and the Tianjin Normal University journal answers to the state. The article was a flare in the night sky, a signal and trial of the party's designs. 

 Falun Gong in the United States: An Ethnographic Study By Noah Porter (described as "excellent" by Ownby; I can justify this source further if need be) 

 :"He Zuoxiu, a scientist and one of Luo Gan's relatives, perhaps partially motivated by how Li Hongzhi calls modern science limited, seems to have intentionally provoked Falun Gong... Things could not have worked out better for the two if they had planned it — which, it appears, they just might have." 

 Zhao Yuezhi mentions it opaquely 

 :A number of factors were involved in the souring relations among Falun Gong and the Chinese state and the news media, including ...  lobbying efforts on the part of Li’s qigong opponents and scientists-cum-ideologues with political motives and affiliations with competing central Party leaders, which caused the shift in the state's position. 

 A number of Falun Gong sources also mention the connection.  

 The disputed sentence was: "He Zuoxiu was brother-in-law of Luo Gan, at that time the head of public security." 

 So as far as I can tell this has several references. Why shouldn't it be included? We can take this to an RS or NPOV board, too. 14:05, 2 January 2010
