[Fushun City, Liaoning Province] About Dafa Practitioner Ms. Liang Suyun's Torture Death: Additional Information

On March 17, 2002, policemen in Fushun City tortured Dafa practitioner Ms. Liang Suyun to death. At the time of her death she was handcuffed and there were a lot of needle marks in her hands and feet. Abusive policemen claimed she committed suicide by jumping off a building.

[Beijing] The Wife of a Municipal High Official Appeals in Tiananmen Square

It is said that the wife of a municipal high official who is a Falun Gong practitioner recently went to appeal in Tiananmen Square to validate the universal principle, "Truth, Compassion and Forbearance." Policemen in Beijing arrested her. Then, local policemen went to Beijing to escort her back. On the way back home she was released.

[Gongzhuling City, Jilin Province] Thugs Claim, "Get Several Iron Rods Ready and Beat to Death Those Practitioners Who Clarify the Truth"

Recently, an official from Siping District claimed at a meeting in Gongzhuling City, "Intense torture should be applied to Falun Gong practitioners. No practitioners should be released, even though he is abused to death in detention." He also set up nine supervising divisions to arrest practitioners who are clarifying the truth. The policemen patrolled in the streets, day and night. He even dispatched more people to man the night shift. He told the policemen, "Prepare several iron rods. Beat those practitioners who are clarifying the truth as hard as you can. Beat them to the point of unconsciousness and then send them to the police precinct." In every village group, four persons were appointed to be so-called "security personnel." In each area where practitioners had clarified the truth, they brought a lot of practitioners' photos for villagers to identify them. Around the Spring Festival, several practitioners were forced to go live in exile to avoid persecution. At least eight practitioners were put into detention centers or custody centers. Obviously, the vicious suppressers were afraid of most people getting to know the truth.

Hereby, all practitioners who see this news, please, send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil. All international organizations with a sense of justice, please pay attention to this issue.

[Hunan Province] Brainwashing Class Scheme was Aborted due to Dafa Practitioners' Firm Resistance

Before the Chinese New Year of 2002, in order to prevent determined Dafa practitioners from going to appeal and distribute Dafa truth-clarifying materials, officials from the "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] in a city of Hunan Province arrested a dozen practitioners and forcibly put them into a brainwashing class. In order to completely break through the old force's arrangements, these practitioners decided to give up their attachments to life and go through this tribulation together. They studied the Fa and did the exercises as usual, and firmly resisted all arrangements made by the evil. They didn't copy the prison rules and ignored the poisonous propaganda. They didn't listen or read any of the propaganda. In the class, they recited Lunyu [the forwarding statement in Falun Dafa books] and sent forth righteous thoughts together. The powerful field of righteous thoughts didn't leave any place for the evil to hide, so the class could not go on any further.

According to one of Teacher's articles, " Suggestion," practitioners compassionately clarified the truth and exposed the evil to the employees from "610 Office" and also security personnel at the brainwashing center, from the standpoint of work that Fa-rectification particles should do, which had an effect. In order to separate these practitioners, officials from the "610 Office" released several practitioners they thought were "difficult to reform." But the rest of the practitioners were still determined and the vicious officials still didn't get their way. In the end, these practitioners were illegally detained for 15 days and they have returned home safely. Each and every one of the practitioners who were sent into the brainwashing class this time openly and dignifiedly walked out of the brainwashing class. Therefore, the "610 Office's" well-prepared brainwashing class had to be aborted.

[Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province] Illegal Internment of Two Practitioners

Recently, two practitioners named Tan and Liu from Zhuzhou City/Hunan Province were illegally detained. We hope practitioners who read this news will send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil.

[Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Officials at the Hankou Railway Station Extort Money from Practitioners

Officials at the Hankou Railway Station used illegal means to obtain money. They had someone look for Dafa practitioners in the railway station. A middle-aged man waited in the police office. They used the excuse of verifying identification papers to find and arrest practitioners. All of the detained practitioners were sent to the security section on the fifth floor. Then, officers named Bi, Zhang and Gao forcibly searched the practitioners and confiscated their money and personal belongings. During the detention time, they not only didn't give the practitioners anything to eat, but also beat and kicked them. Officer Zhang even extorted money from people at the local police department in charge of practitioners they detained. He told them, "You should bring 1,000 Yuan [500 Yuan is average monthly income in urban area of China] to get this person back. Otherwise I'll report this case to the government." In order to avoid being reported to the government, officials from the local police precincts had to give him 1,000 Yuan. Some even took him out to eat for several meals.

[Guangzhou City, Guandong Province] Illegal Internment of Practitioner Ms. Li Lifen

In January 2002, lawless policemen arrested practitioner Ms. Li Lifen from Shahelongdong area of Guangzhou City when she went to a residential area to rectify the Fa.

Cao Hui, vicious director of the Shahe Town Police Precinct in the Tianhe District, persecuted practitioners many times. Fellow practitioners, please eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts and save the detained practitioners as soon as possible.

[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Officials in Some Schools Poison the Minds of Innocent Students

Recently, officials of some schools in Harbin City, such as in the Xiangfang District and Daoli District, organized students to clean the streets and tear off advertisements and posters. It seemed that they asked students to clean the streets, but actually they asked the children to take down Dafa truth-clarifying materials. When they saw "Falun Dafa is good" and other posters, some ignorant children went ahead and tore them off, while some others said, "Those who tear these off will receive retribution." Officials in some schools organized students to purchase political study materials that included content of the "self-immolation" incident. These officials wanted to instill lies and hatred into the heads of the innocent children.

[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Brutal Torture of Dafa Practitioners in the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp

On the night of January 30, 2001, nearly 50 male policemen in the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp came into cells and beat and kicked practitioners. They hit the practitioners with electric batons, yanked their hair and forced practitioners to stand barefoot in the hallway. Some practitioners were pushed outside and forced to stand in the snow, clad only in underwear, when the temperature was --30^o C. On May 1, guards forced practitioners to be brainwashed. The mouths of those practitioners who didn't give in were sealed with wide tape and the practitioners were also not allowed to sleep. Because practitioners determinedly refused to cooperate, some were confined in solitary compartments. Then all practitioners went on a group hunger strike. On May 22, because some guards wouldn't release practitioners whose detention terms had already expired, practitioners staged another hunger strike. However, they were forcibly dragged into the courtyard. Other practitioners tried to stop the guards, but they were forcibly sent to the male prisoners group. They were hung up by a rope from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Some practitioners were forced to sit on a "torture stool" for more than 20 days. The responsible person was Fei Hong.

Around the Chinese New Year, practitioners in No.12 Group who were forced to give up cultivation awakened and published announcements in their group or on Clearwisdom Net. Guards in Group 12 used various means to separate the newly arrested practitioners and brainwashed practitioners away from determined practitioners. Therefore, they transferred 12 determined practitioners to No. 7 Group. Practitioners in No.12 Group who suffered from scabies were cured without any medication after they sent forth righteous thoughts repeatedly.

At present, practitioners Shang Yuqiu and He Miao are still being detained at the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp Hospital and they are suffering unimaginable pain and torture. We call on all people in society to help stop this brutality and work for the immediate release of these two practitioners!

[Chenzhou City, Hunan Province] Officials in a "610 Office" Repeatedly Hold Brainwashing Classes and Make Use of Collaborators to Persecute Practitioners

Since the beginning of 2001, officials in the "610 Office" of Chenzhou City/Hunan Province have often and continuously held brainwashing classes. They arrested practitioners from all surrounding counties and even allocated a quota to every work unit. Some practitioners were entrapped to the brainwashing class by the work unit leaders when they were working; some were directly kidnapped into the class by police officers; and some were forcibly sent to the brainwashing class just after they were released from a forced labor camp. (Note: The "610 Office" is 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).

Officials in the "610 Office" also used several collaborators [former Falun Gong practitioners who have gone astray due to brainwashing and torture] who were released from the Baimalong and Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camps in Hunan Province after they "enlightened" along an evil path. These collaborators aimed their tactics especially at the practitioners' attachments to spread their poisoned "enlightenments." Some practitioners who didn't study the Fa deeply were affected and wrote the "four statements." [These statements declare that practitioners are sorry they ever practiced Falun Dafa, and guarantee they will never to go to Beijing to appeal for Dafa, will not associate with other Dafa practitioners and will give up their faith in Dafa].

[Yilan County, Heilongjing Province] Several Cases of Persecution against Dafa Practitioners

Practitioner Mr. Chen Tiefeng, 32 years old, lived in Yilan Town, Yilan County, Heilongjiang Province. On July 22, 1999, he went to Harbin City to appeal for Dafa. Policemen from Yilan County's Police Department escorted him back and detained him for three days. Mr. Chen had to pay the fare and food expenses and was additionally extorted 150 Yuan.

On January 16th, 2000 on the Chinese lunar calendar, when Mr. Chen Tiefeng and some fellow practitioners were practicing outside, personnel from the Yilan County's Police Department arrested and interrogated them for six hours. Because Mr. Chen Tiefeng insisted on his belief, he was detained for 45 days. At the detention center, guards instigated the prisoner heads of the cells, such as murderers, criminals and so on, to brutally beat Dafa practitioners. After Mr. Chen's family handed in 2,000 Yuan for a "fine" and 500 Yuan for food expenses, Mr. Chen Tiefeng was released. The main persons who were responsible for this case were Zhang Huanyou and Zhao Shijing.

On January 16, 2002, Ms. Fu Guiqin, a 51- year- old practitioner from Yilan County, Heilongjiang Province was arrested and was illegally detained for one month and extorted 3,000 Yuan, because she took part in group exercises. On June 16, 2000 she went to appeal in Beijing. Afterwards, she was illegally detained 45 days and extorted 2,000 Yuan. On December 29, 2001, thugs on a bus asked her to defame Teacher and Dafa. Ms. Fu Guiqin refused, and then she was brought to a police precinct. There, she was body-searched and also extorted 500 Yuan. After that, she was sent to Harbin City's Wanjia Forced Labor Camp for one year. The person who was responsible for this case was Long Deqing.

In March 2000, Ms. Ni Chunyan, a 39- year-old practitioner from Yilan County, Heilongjiang Province, was illegally detained 15 days because of practicing Falun Gong. After being extorted 2,150 Yuan, she was released. The main persons who were responsible for this case were Zhang Huanyou and Long Deqing. In November 2000, Ms. Ni was arrested. Because of her protest, she was detained and force-fed. She was tortured to the point of suffering from edema all over her body. On January 18, 2001, she was illegally sentenced to one year in Harbin City's Wanjia Forced Labor Camp.

[Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] Multiple Kidnappings of Practitioners at the Hands of People from Jintie Police Precinct

At the end of October of last year, policemen from Jinzhou City's Jintie Police Precinct went to a Dafa practitioner's home. They lashed two Dafa practitioners' hands and feet together, carried them from the second floor to the first floor, threw them onto the ground, then packed them into a vehicle and drove them to the police station. A 20-year-old male Dafa practitioner said, "I haven't committed any misdemeanor. I won't go to the police station!" An abusive policeman kicked his chest and made him squat immediately. As a result, the practitioner couldn't breathe for a long time. Afterward, these two Dafa practitioners were sent to a detention center.

On January 6, 2002 on Chinese lunar calendar, when two female Dafa practitioners walked on the street, lawless policemen from the Jintie Police Precinct stopped them and forcibly packed them into a vehicle. One Dafa practitioner was brutally beaten by the abusive policemen because she didn't cooperate. Now these two Dafa practitioners are still in criminal detention. Officials from this police precinct have already sent many Dafa practitioners to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.

[Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province] Illegal Detention of Two Female Dafa Practitioners

Since Ms. Yu Zhou, a 25-year-old practitioner, was released from Nanchang City's Female Forced Labor Camp in 2001, she has always firmly practiced Falun Gong and assisted Teacher to rectify the Fa. At the beginning of March 2002, officers from Nanchang City's Police Department illegally arrested her from her home. At present she is detained at Nanchang City's First Detention Center in the Shaziling area. Her father is a police officer but was dismissed from his post because of her detention. His situation is very bad.

Ms. Mao Maonuu , a 48- year-old practitioner, was illegally sentenced to one year of imprisonment because of the "loudspeaker case on February 9." In February this year, she was released because her detention term had expired. Two days later, officers from Nanchang City's Police Department arrested her again. It was said that they found some flyers at her home.

[Minhe County, Qinghai Province] Illegal Detention and Home Ransacking of Dafa Practitioners

A vile person reported Dafa practitioner Mr. Xin Yunong from Minhe County, Qinghai Province to police while Mr. Xin was clarifying the truth and distributing Falun Dafa CDs to people. Until March 18, Mr. Xin had been detained for 19 days in Minhe County's Police Department. His home was also ransacked. It's said that since Dafa signs, flyers and CDs kept appearing incessantly in the county, the vile persons were very frightened and they attempted to destroy the source of the truth-clarifying materials. Dafa practitioners in Qinghai Province, please, send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil forces that attempt to destroy Dafa! Let's help our fellow practitioners walk out of the devil's den as soon as possible.

[Qinghai Province] Huge Fa-Rectification Banner Appears in a Certain County on "Qinghai Province's Falun Dafa Day"

March 6, 2002 is "Qinghai Province's Falun Dafa Day." On this day, all Dafa practitioners in Qinghai Province clarified the truth and offered salvation to people of all nationalities and with all available means, in a comprehensive, thorough and refined way. On the morning of March 6, a five-meter-long banner with red characters on yellow background appeared in a certain county in Qinghai Province. The character read, "Celebrate Qinghai Province's Falun Dafa Day." The scene greatly encouraged fellow practitioners and frightened the evil forces.

[Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] Personnel from the Daqing Daily Aid Evildoers to Do Evil and Persecute Veteran Senior Editors

On April 8, 2000, two Dafa practitioners from Daqing Daily and eight other practitioners were tracked and monitored by local police when holding an experience sharing conference. On April 12, these ten practitioners were all arrested. Except for one practitioner who was released because s/he was over 70 years old, the other practitioners were all put into detention centers and custodial centers and detained for 45 days. What's more, persons from the party committee of the Daqing Daily refused to release the practitioners when their term had expired, and they lawlessly extended the terms of the two practitioners by another two months. As the two practitioners were very determined in cultivation and refused to give up their beliefs, officials from the Daqing Daily again refused to release the practitioner by the time their additional two-month term was due. It was not until half a month later, under the strong requests from the practitioners' family members, that they had to release the practitioners.

On the second day after the two practitioners' arrest, the party committee officials from the Daqing Daily made a decision to cancel the two Dafa practitioners' party memberships, dismiss them from "the team of journalists" and fire them from their posts, while keeping them two for years of employment for "observation." One of the two practitioners is a senior editor and the other one is a department director and holds a post of "associate advanced professional."

In January 2002, a Dafa practitioner who works for the Daqing Daily went to Beijing to appeal and was taken back. At the directive of Daqin Daily party committee officials, the practitioner was sentenced to three years of forced labor. The personnel also attempted to get the ID card from a Dafa practitioner who didn't go to Beijing, but they were sternly refused. Personnel from the party committee at Daqing Daily aided the evildoers to do evil, and their act of persecuting Dafa practitioners has aroused public wrath.
