to Chinese government's inhuman and brutal persecution, for the

[Shandong Province] Mr. Su Gang's Family Members Are Persecuted [Note from Editor: Mr. Su Gang, 32, was an employee of the Instrument and
Meter Unit of the Alkene Plant of Qi-Lu Petro-Chemical Company, Zibo City
of Shandong Province. He held a Bachelor degree in computer science from
Shandong University. Because he was a practitioner of Falun Gong, he died
on June 10, 2000, after nine days of torture in the Chang-le Mental
Hospital. Reported by Washington Post etc. For detailed story, please
visit: http://www.minghui.ca/eng/2000/Jun/24/MR062400_1.html ] After "The Open Letter to the Authority of the Qilu Oil Chemical
Company regarding the Illegal Detention and Abuse of Mr. Su Gang in the
Mental Hospital by the Security Department of the Alkene Plant" was
published on the Minghui Net, Su Gang's father, Mr. Su Dean, and Su Gang's
uncle, Su Lianxi, got persecuted. On the morning of June 14, Mr. Su Gang's father and uncle prepared to
deliver the open letter to the supervisors of the Qilu Oil Chemical
Company. They noticed that they were being followed. At the entrance to
the Company, they were stopped by security. Another dozen people came
interfered with them. Su Gang's uncle said, "I have an appointment
with the Secretary. Why are you interfering with us?" Unable to
forbear any more, he banged his head against a wall until he lost
consciousness. Being unable to push Su Gang's father and Su Gang's uncle
into a taxicab, they sent them to the Xuegong police station in a truck.
The Xuegong Police Station refused to accept them. Therefore, they were
sent to the Kangping Police Station. In that police station, Su Gang's
father was interrogated again by the Qidou Police Department and the
Security Department of the Qilu Oil Chemical Company. Su Gang's uncle
stayed one day on the grounds of the Police Station and was brought home
at night by his wife and niece. Currently, the home of Su Gang's uncle is under 24-hour surveillance. The
family members of Su Gang have no way to report the death of Su Gang to
the appropriate department. [Provided on June 20, 2000] [Beijing] Police Beat People on The Tiananmen Square; The Tourists Felt
Indignant At around 9:08am on July 1, 7 to 8 practitioners in there 30s unfurled 3
eye-catching Falun Dafa banners reading "Cherish, Buddha Fa is right
in front of you!," "Falun Rotates Forever", and
"Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance". About one minute
later, several police and a few unidentified people rushed over and
started to beat and kick them. They seized the banners. A middle-aged man
nearby yelled, "Do not beat people!" Then a police vehicle
arrived and took all of them away. Then, another 7 to 8 young practitioners started to do the second exercise
of Falun Gong, "Falun Standing Stance". They raised their hands
in front of their heads to do the movement of "holding the wheel
before the head". They did not drop their hands no matter how the
police beat them. The above police vehicle drove towards them. Two male
practitioners were still holding their two hands when they were pushed
onto the vehicle. The police continued to beat them on the vehicle. In
addition, two women practitioners who looked like peasants also each took
out a small banner and held it up. The police had no time to take care of
them. They were later dragged onto the vehicle by an aged plainclothes
agent. The police vehicle drove away. A male practitioner yelled inside the
vehicle, "Falun Dafa is good!" A middle-aged woman could not bear seeing the scenes. She said sadly,
"They just practice the exercises. Why do the police beat up them
like that?" [Guangan, Sichuan Province] At 9:30am on June 27, the Guangan District Intermediate People's Court
sentenced two practitioners, Jiang Heping and Xia Lang. They were arrested
for going to Beijing to tell the truth of Falun Gong to the government.
They were given one and a half year forced-labor. Meanwhile, the police started to search for Falun Gong practitioners among
the people who surrounded the Court. Six practitioners including Zhang
Congyuan, Deng Yuanxiu, Hu Xiaoxui, Zhang Zhengzhong, Zhang Hui and Wu
Xueqing were arrested. The police sent them to the Guangan Detention
Center and sentenced them to one and a half years forced-labor without any
legal proceedings. Practitioner Wu Xueqing told the police that they were violating the law
knowingly. The police had to release her temporarily. At 4pm, the same
day, a few police from the Huinong police station came to Ms. Wu's home
and deceived her into having a talk in the police station. Ms. Wu was
directly sent to the Detention Center after she got into the vehicle and
the police sentenced her to one and a half years of forced-labor. Cao Junjian, an employee of the Jianshe Bank of Guangan County, was
detained in October of 1999 for having gone to Beijing to report the truth
of Falun Gong to the central government. After being detained in the
Guangan Detention Center for about 8 months, he was put on trial on May
25. In the trial, Cao Junjian courageously pointed out none of the
accusations against him were valid. The judge then asked the police to
send him back to the Detention Center. A few days later, the police
secretly sentenced Cao Junjiang to three and a half-years of imprisonment. [Henan Province] Around May 10, practitioners from Qi County of Kaifeng City went to
Beijing to report the truth of Falun Gong to the central government. About
30 practitioners got detained in the Qi County Detention Center after
being escorted back. Half a month later, some of them got released. Most
of them were transferred to criminal detention. Practitioners have done nothing wrong in appealing for Falun Gong. The
police could neither sentence them, nor would they release them.
Therefore, the police started to make a mockery of the law. They first
detained the practitioners in the police station; after the limit of half
a moth, they transferred the practitioners to the detention center for
criminal detention and after the limit of one month, they then again
transferred the practitioner to the police station. The police would
detain practitioners back and forth like this. Last year, practitioner Zhu
Ying was detained like this for 4 months. . Practitioner from Qi County, Zhang Mingtong, began a hunger strike in
order to have an environment for practicing Falun Gong. When his wife
visited him, he was carried out.He did not open his eyes and did not speak
a word. He was extremely weak. He has been on a hunger strike for 13 days. Practitioners Zhu Ying, Zhang Mingzhen have also been on hunger strike for
many days. [Harbin] On June 23, the police seized the photo of Master Li and Dafa books from
the home of practitioner Guo Hongyu. On June 26, after Guo Hongyu and her father failed to get the return of
the photo and the books, they started to sit quietly and go on hunger
strike outside the Nangang Police Department. They also delivered an
appeal letter to expressing their determination for Falun Dafa and to
require the police to return to them the books and the photo of Master Li. On the morning of June 28, they were arrested by their local police
station. Later, Guo Hongyu was sent to the women labor camp. Her father's
whereabouts is unknown.
