1. [Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners Detained in Guanshan Center of Correction

Sixteen Falun Dafa practitioners, illegally detained in Squad No. 4, began hunger strikes on August 13, 2001, to protest the inhumane treatment they have received.

Thirteen practitioners are illegally detained in a strict control squad. During the daytime, the warden and guards take charge of the cells. The practitioners are forced to work from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and have a work assignment every day.

During the first ten days of August 2001, twelve to nineteen practitionerswere were transferred to Guanshan Correction Center for further persecution because they were faithful and unyielding, and did not obey the orders of the warden.

Practitioner Yu Zuojia (male) did not obey the orders of the police, and ran away instead of going home on a conditional holiday leave from the Correction Center. The center adopted a new policy, however, that automatically assumes family complicity, and used this policy to arrest his wife, detaining her in the center. This left the couple's four-year-old child at home without parental care.

A partial list of practitioners imprisoned in a strict control squad:

Dong Yadong, Gong Guowei, Wu Yuanjun, Liu Jilian, Wang Lin, Li Jicheng, Liu Guichun, Liu Shifu, Zhang Xiaodong, Zhang Ximing, Zhang Jun and Lin Gang.

The list of practitioners who are known to have been transferred to the Guanshan Correction Center:

Liu Changhai, Xu Jun, Liu Hongyou, Lang Qingcheng, Sun Zhiyuan, Xu Gang, Guo Jufeng, Wang Zhiying, Wang Chuang, Zhang Chengjun, Wang Shangjie, and Tong Renmin.

2. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Will Send Forth Righteous Thoughts at a Scheduled Time

The persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners detained in the Wanjia Labor Camp, Changlinzi Labor Camp, Heilongjiang Drug Control Center, and the No.1 and No.2 Harbin Detention Centers has been exposed many times. The evil forces still run rampant, however, in persecuting the practitioners.

Recently, the Heilongjiang 610 Office [a government office specially created to handle Falun Gong related issues] and other organizations coordinated a plan to arrest Falun Dafa practitioners. It has occurred in the past that some practitioners were arrested while they were at home and then their homes were subsequently searched and confiscated.

Based on the new development described above, Falun Dafa practitioners from Harbin City decided to send forth righteous thoughts every Saturday morning, to eliminate all evil forces that damage Falun Dafa, encompassing everything and omitting nothing.

3. [Weifang City, Shandong Province] Retired Former Administrator Is Sent to the Wangcun Labor Camp for Brainwashing

Former administrator Zhao Dejie, a 65-year-old retiree from the Power Industry Bureau in Weifang City, Shandong Province, and his wife have both experienced significantly obvious health improvements after practicing Falun Dafa.

In June 2001, police from Xiguan Police Station, in the Weicheng District of Weifang City, apprehended the elderly couple while they were posting flyers, clarifying the truth. The couple was sent to the Detention Center, to be illegally detained for thirty days. They were later transferred to Changle Labor Camp, but the camp did not dare to accept practitioner Zhao Dejie because his blood pressure was already as high as 240. So he was remanded to the Power Industry Bureau in Weifang City, where he was detained for several days before being released.

During recent days, the Power Industry Bureau colluded with the Weifang City Police Department, and has sent the elderly couple to the Wangcun Labor Camp for flagrant brainwashing, in an attempt to force them into relinquishing their belief in Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.

4. [Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] Police Kidnap a Falun Dafa Practitioner's Mother

Falun Dafa practitioner Zhai Zhibin was transferred to a hospital after over fifty days of a hunger strike in Longfeng Custodial Center. He continued his protest in the hospital with a hunger strike, and was then force-fed and injected with toxic drugs. A few days later, he managed to walk away from the rigorous surveillance of police and coworkers. In a show of personal spite, the police abducted his mother, Falun Dafa practitioner An Shaohua, interrogating her at the police station, and then illegally detaining her at a detention center.

5. [Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province] The Crime of Police in the Railway Police Division and Railway Station Police

The Railway Police Division and the Railway Station Police in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, despicably and impudently placed photos of the Teacher on the floor of the check-in entrance of the railway station, so that passengers will have to step on the photos without discretion. They have also used this as a means of arresting practitioners who are validating Falun Dafa. -- (See also Latest News from China - 04/14/2001 http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2001/5/2/9203.html)

Hereon, we solemnly advise the Mudanjiang Railway Police Division and the Railway Station Police:

1) Immediately remove our Teacher's photos from the floor of the check-in entrance of the railway station, and immediately cease this sinister activity, which defies all justice and humanity.

2) Every spiteful policeman involved in the Teacher's photo incident who does not wake up and recognize their crime will be destroying their own life by continuing to persecute Falun Dafa and torturing good people. This is an immutable principle of the universe: "Doing good deeds is met with good rewards, and being evil is met with evil returns."

3) We advise those police officers who may still have a little mercy in their hearts: Do not be deceived by Jiang Zemin's lies and fabrications, and do not participate in such evil deeds. Many good citizens are condemning these insidiously malicious activities.

6. [Jilin Province] A Falun Dafa Practitioner Is Denied the Right to Pursue a Master's Degree

Zhao Bo, a teacher from Jilin University, participated in the 2000 National Master's Candidate Exam. His score reached the national (and the university's) average. Jilin University requested that he write a statement renouncing Falun Gong as well as slandering the practice, otherwise the university would not enroll him. After Zhao rejected this illegal and unreasonable request, the University failed to send him the notice to take the exam of the second round.

7. [Songyuan City, Jilin Province] Xie Lirong, A Falun Dafa Practitioner, Suffers the Effects of Persecution

Xie Lirong, from the Oil Extraction Plant Songyuan Xinmu, was forcibly sent from her home to a brainwashing class, by the leaders of her work unit (Yang Haibo and Wang Lijun). She escaped from the class in order to resist the evil brainwashing, and became destitute and homeless. Her family members found her the next day, but police officer Wang Jiang arrested her and took her to the oil field police station. The next day he sent her to a holding center for a 30-day illegal imprisonment. The First Branch of the Songyuan Police Department extorted 2000 Yuan from her family members.

Persons Responsible:

Songyuan City Police Department, Songjiang Branch political security section: Wang Jiang

Songyuan City Police Department, Ningjiang District Branch chief: Meng Bin

8. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] The Seventh Division First Female Detention Center Abuse Falun Gong Practitioners

At the Wuhan Seventh Division First Female Custodial Center in Hubei Province, I witnessed the Manager Zhu, Manager Lei, police officers Liu Lianzhen, Luo Hua, and Lu Hua, extort money from Falun Gong practitioners, and block the intake of the ventilation system to prevent air circulation inside the jail cell. Moreover, they incited the criminals to viciously beat the practitioners. Even the managers maliciously struck the practitioners' faces and heads with large key chains, causing blood to immediately flow from their mouths and noses. Their faces were covered with blood, so one could not make out their faces clearly. Then they cuffed both the practitioners' hands to an iron gate, denying them the right to go to the washroom. These men were without any human decency!

We appeal to all kind-hearted people to clearly recognize and stop these inhuman actions! Falun Gong practitioners are innocent!

9. [Beijing] "Why Are the Police Arresting Good People?"

One week ago, a seventy-year-old woman from Beijing (Xuanwu district Shuanghuaishu village) was caught while distributing Dafa materials. Four policemen grabbed her arms and legs, forcibly carried her down from the building, and threw her harshly into the police vehicle. The old woman continuously yelled loudly: "I am a good person! Falun Dafa is good! ..." There were 40 or more onlookers. Many of them said: "This old woman really is a good person, each time when it snows, you can see her sweeping away the snow. Why are the police arresting good people this year? ..." Many people were choked with silent fury.

10. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Many Practitioners Will Be Sent to Masanjia Labor Camp; One Hundred and Ninety Practitioners Go on a Hunger Strike to Protest in Dabei Jail

1. According to the criminals presently serving prison sentences at Masanjia Labor Camp, all off duty wardens from the labor camp have been recalled due to the large number of Falun Dafa practitioners from all over the country who will be sent to Masanjia to be forcibly brainwashed.

2. One hundred and ninety Falun Dafa practitioners went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution in Dabei Jail, Shenyang City.

3. A document was circulated in Shenyang City, stating: Before the 1st of October, Falun Dafa practitioners still at large must be persistently arrested. We hope that all fellow practitioners firmly resist this evil plot, send forth righteous thoughts to eradicate the evil, and assist Teacher in rectifying the Fa.

11. [Xinxiang City, Henan Province] Lawless Officials Persecute Falun Dafa Practitioners

Henan Xinxiang City police department and the 610 Office are just as evil as before. All Falun Dafa practitioners who went to Beijing to appeal or clarify the truth about Falun Dafa, once arrested, would be illegally detained, sent to labor camps or even sentenced to jail. Some practitioners who were bailed out were forcibly imposed a 30,000 Yuan fine. Now, approximately 30 practitioners are illegally detained at the Xinxiang city detention center, some have been detained longer than their expected release date, and some were sent back from labor camps to be continually detained. These practitioners are all determined in Dafa.

In the Xinxiang city Hongqi district public security sub-bureau, more than 50 practitioners were illegally sentenced to labor camps. There are already indications that several policemen are receiving immediate retributions in this lifetime.

12. [Dongguan City, Guangdong Province] Latest News

Zheng Kai, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Dongguan city, Guangdong Province, distributed truth-clarifying literature of Falun Gong at about 4 am on the early morning of August 26, and as yet has not returned home. It seems that Zheng has been seized by the authorities.

Many practitioners in Dongguan city are detained or sent to labor camps. The police even exert pressure on some of the practitioners' work units, causing many practitioners to lose their jobs. Later, they conducted illegal brainwashing classes, sending the practitioners who refused to give up their cultivation of "Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance" to labor camps. Lai Zhijun, a practitioner, was tortured to death. The related departments (police station, detention center, judicial departments) in Dongguan city cannot escape their crimes:

Recently under the direction and guidance of the Dalian 610 Office, Deputy Chief Sun Qiang of the Dalian Xigang police substation, used various vicious means to arrest practitioners who made Dafa materials. Ten policemen were assigned the task of catching Falun Dafa practitioners.

Police at the Xigang substation torture and forbid practitioners from sleeping. Every practitioner they catch is put into a torture device. Thugs attempt to shake practitioners' righteous faith in Falun Dafa with coercion. Zeng Xianmei, a seventy-year-old practitioner was killed in this substation while another practitioner was detained in an interrogation room for over one month.

The criminal Sun Qiang, Deputy Chief of the Xigang substation, considered extremely evil, is in charge of persecuting Falun Gong.

15. [China] Two Stories of People Who Have Woken Up

1) A practitioner, together with his mother, went to visit his uncle. Seeing that his uncle was listening to a radio broadcast from France, he asked him why he was listening a foreign radio station. His uncle replied, "These days the news reports on CCTV are always fake. Only good news gets reported and the bad news is avoided. If I want to know what is happening to my country, I have to listen to a foreign country's broadcast. The practitioner's mother added, "Your father also listens to the foreign radio station at home!" Neither the father or uncle are Falun Dafa practitioners.

2. After coming home from being illegally detained, the Falun Dafa practitioner called one of his classmates who is not Falun Gong practitioner. His classmate asked him, "You must have suffered a lot of tribulations in jail?" The practitioner told him about the persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners in the jail. His classmate immediately said, "I believe what you are saying. The reports in the news media are fake!" This practitioner asked him, "How do you know?" The classmate replied, "A policeman, who is an acquaintance, told me."
