1. [Shanghai] Call for Falun Dafa Practitioners in China and Overseas to Urgently Rescue Falun Dafa Practitioner Qu Yanlai Using All Means

On September 30, 2002, police officers from the Putuo Division of the Shanghai Police Department unlawfully arrested Falun Dafa practitioner Qu Yanlai at the dormitory of his work unit (as previously reported by Clearwisdom.net at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2003/1/6/30543.html). Mr. Qu held a hunger strike, abstaining from both food and water since the first day he was arrested. He was rushed to a hospital and remains in critical condition. The police still prohibit his family from visiting him, and block all information about his current state.

We hope Falun Dafa practitioners who have read this report send forth righteous thoughts to help Mr. Qu.

2. [Mengyin County, Shandong Province] Relevant Departments Unlawfully Hand Down Harsh Prison Terms to Falun Dafa Practitioners

Late in March 2003, relevant departments in Mengyin County of Shandong Province gave harsh prison terms to five Falun Dafa practitioners, all of whom were unlawfully arrested while being forced to remain homeless to avoid persectution: Gong Maohai, 14 years; Teng Derong, female, 14 years; Gong Shuhua, 13 years; Wu Zengjian, 13 years; and Shi Zenglei, 11 years. All five practitioners have filed appeals. Two other female practitioners Zhang Dezhen and Liu Shufen have already died from police brutality prior to the Chinese Lunar New Year's Day, which was reported on February 22, 2003 on Clearwisdom.net [see http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2003/2/26/32607.html].

In mid-April 2003, relevant authorities in Mengyin County planned to harshly sentence three other Falun Dafa practitioners (Teng Defang, Ms. Du Fengjuan, and Li Yongxin), who were unlawfully arrested while they were being forced to stay away from their homes.

3. [Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] Ranghu District in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province Holds Brainwashing Sessions Again and Places Falun Dafa Practitioners under Arrest

Authorities in Ranghu District have unlawfully conducted another round of brainwashing and arrested the following Falun Dafa practitioners: Ms. Zhang Jing, Cui Xiaodong, Fan Janshe, Ma Jian, Yuan Lixue, Piao Jun, Ms. Han Lihua, Ms. Ren Yuhong, Ms. Li Shuqin, and Zou Lijun.

4. [Beijing] Brainwashing Session Held in the Lugouqiao Agricultural, Industrial and Commercial Group in Fengtai District, Beijing

On the morning of March 5, 2003, the Taipingqiao township government in Fengtai District, Beijing, lied to Falun Dafa practitioners, saying that all Party members were having a meeting at a place where police officer Niu Gang, Deputy Police Station Chief Guan Yong, and Police Station Chief Chen were actually waiting. Over a dozen officers and joint security team members forced Falun Dafa practitioners into vehicles and forced them into a brainwashing session in the Lugouqiao Agricultural, Industrial and Commercial Group. Fifteen Falun Dafa practitioners were forced to watch videos that defamed Falun Dafa. The police did not allow anyone to close their eyes or turn their heads away. Staff of 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] and some collaborators took turns threatening Falun Dafa practitioners saying that they either had to write statements denouncing Falun Gong or face prison terms. [Collaborators are former Falun Gong practitioners who have gone astray due to brainwashing and torture]

Officer Niu Gang claimed that as long as there is a single (local) Falun Gong practitioner, he runs the risk of losing his job at any moment.

Bao Kun, deputy director of the Fengtai District "610 Office": 86-130551310716 (mobile).
