[Dingxing County, Hebei Province] Seventeen Dafa Practitioners are Illegally Arrested; Jing Mingzhi, Liu Wenxin and Other Lawless Officials Are Responsible

On February 27, 2002, led by Jing Mingzhi and Liu Wenxin, vicious ruffians from Gaoli Township, Dingxing County of Hebei Province, illegally arrested 17 practitioners and confiscated their properties. All of sudden the township government became a jail. Offices were turned into the rooms for interrogation accompanied by torture. The thugs were rude and brutal and relentlessly tortured these practitioners. The practitioners tolerated the extreme pain without complaints and retaliation. Practitioners clarified the truth to them again and again, but they still hate Dafa and Dafa practitioners. We call on all people from all walks of life to support and pay attention to this issue. We call on all practitioners to eliminate the evils with righteous thoughts and offer salvation to sentient beings.

The "law education class" in Tongjiang Town hosted by Gao Mingliang, director of Wuhou District's Political and Judicary Committee, was actually a private jail that trampled the law. All detainees in the class were forcibly arrested from their homes merely because they were Falun Gong practitioners. Policemen, guards and detainee accompaniers, the number of whom were three times that of the practitioners, controlled all of practitioners' freedoms. Any practitioners who tried to discuss law or human rights with them would be beaten up. In order to protect their basic human rights, these practitioners have been on a hunger strikes several times. Most practitioners have been illegally detained more than four months. We hope people with a sense of justice pay attention to this serious law violation issue.

[Beijing] Vile Person Zhang Honglin Advocates Using Mental Hospitals to Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners

Zhang Honglin is a researcher from the Qigong Research Laboratory of the Chinese Medicine Research Institute.

His major Crimes:

1. Writing Slandering Articles

He wrote articles advocating the use of mental hospitals to persecute Dafa practitioners. Two articles were published in the People's Daily; also, another one in the No.103 periodical of Information Collection; one in the Beijing Daily and one on the No.5414 periodical of Internal Reference.

2. Direct Participation in Persecution

Beginning September 10 to 29, 2001, in order to assist the local "610 Office" (an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems) to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, he went to nine districts/cities in Fujian Province, for the fifth time. He is the earliest and most active advocator for using mental hospitals to persecute practitioners. He actively requested to take part in the persecution at the front line and claimed, "I have been working in this field for a long period of time, and so I am willing to participate in the work organized by the department in charge."

He actively gave advice on methods of persecution; his published suggestions include:

1. The central department in charge should organize experienced psychiatric experts from all over the country to give the arbitrary diagnosis of "mental disease" to Falun Gong practitioners.
2. Administer psychiatric treatment to Falun Gong practitioners first, followed by brainwashing.
