1. [Huadian City, Jilin Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Jia Shimin and Song Guifang from Huadian City, Jilin Province Are Unlawfully Held at the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun
On March 6, 2003, the Huadian City Police Department arrested Jia Shimin at her home. Ms. Jia was held at the Huadian City Detention Center. Because she went on a hunger strike to protest her illegal arrest, she was force-fed several times. On April 1, 2003, she was transferred to the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp. She has suffered severe weight loss and appears very emaciated.
On February 18, 2003, the Huadian City Police Station arrested Song Guifang as she was walking down the street. Ms. Song has been unlawfully sentenced to two years of forced labor reeducation and is being held in the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City, Jilin Province.
2. [Hebei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Cao Guifang from Hebei Province Is Repeatedly Sent to the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Hebei Province
Cao Guifang, female, 52, is a worker at the Metallurgy General Mechanical Repair Factory in Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province. Prior to practicing Falun Gong, she suffered from thyroid gland cancer, coronary disease and other illnesses. After practicing Falun Gong, all her illnesses were cured. The Qinhuangdao City "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] and the police department, however, repeatedly issued warrants for her arrest, and sentenced her to forced labor reeducation. Although she failed to pass a physical examination, authorities forcibly sent her into the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Hebei Province. She was released on medical parole due to her extremely weak physical condition. Before the 16th Party's Congress last November, when she and her husband were at the port authorities' No. 8 construction site having their bicycle repaired, members of the "610 Office," officers from the Hedong Police Station in Haigang District and cadres from the factory security section arrested her again. The crowd who witnessed the police violence thought it resembled the acts of gang members. The officers themselves shouted to the crowd that they were indeed gangsters. Half a month later, after her family inquired many times, they were told that Ms. Cao was again taken to the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Hebei Province.
3. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Lawless Police Officers Damage the Falun Gong Material Site at Hanhua Garden
Between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. on March 19, 2003, many fully armed police officers and plain-clothed officers arrived in police vehicles and surrounded the Hanhua Garden in Qiaokou District in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. They told the crowd that there was a Falun Gong material site located on the twelfth floor. Over a dozen people were arrested. The neighbors commented that the police don't dare arrest robbers, but instead harass honest people. They thought the Falun Gong practitioners were really remarkable, because they had the courage to produce materials showing the truth about Falun Gong in such a dangerous environment.
