Facts of the Persecution
1. On July 15, 2003, Li Jun, deputy chief of the "610 Office" in Kangping County, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, together with a group of villains from the county police station, abducted Li Bing and his Li Li, as well as Chen Yan and his wife Li Jie.

2. In the first half year of 2000, practitioner Ms. Li Xiuqin from Heyuan City, Guangdong Province was abducted to the police station for no reason. Later she was illegally sentenced to forced labor for two years and detained at the Sanshui Women's Labor Camp in Guangdong Province. During these two years she has suffered all kinds of wild mental tortures and humiliations, and additionally was forced to attend to burdensome manual labor as well as the military drill. Soon after she left the forced labor camp, she was again abducted without cause on September 5, 2002. This time the perpetrators were from the local police station. They sent her to Sanshui Women's Labor Camp of Guangdong Province. She is now suffering inhuman tortures there.
News From Abroad
In order to attempt the rescue of Japanese practitioner Yoko Kaneko in a more effective way, Falun Gong practitioners from Hiroshima City visited the two cities of Tottori-ken and Shimane-ken from July 4th to July 10th. They had meetings with the municipal governments, delivered their appeals letter to the councillors and mayors of the two cities, and held two press conferences in each of the town hall of the two cities, respectively. At both train stations, in Tottori and Shimane, practitioners handed out Dafa truth-clarifying materials and held a signature collection drive for rescuing Yoko Kaneko. About a dozen media outlets in those two cities came to attend our press conferences and conduct interviews.
Truth and People's Minds
1. A woman who does not practice Falun Gong once went shopping at the market. After returning home she found she had got five Yuan too much change back [500 Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China], so she hurried back to return the money. When she arrived, though, the owner had left. She did not meet him until she went there for the third time. The man said gratefully, "You must practice Falun Gong." She was deeply touched and later said, "Whatever is commented on TV about Falun Gong, in the ordinary people's hearts, good people are just Falun Gong practitioners."
2. An assistant company administrator told the truth of Falun Gong to others after she knew about the truth. Because her work environment made it convenient, she often positively promoted Falun Gong in public. Once when she was fetching boiling water, her thermos bottle sudden broke and all of the boiling water spread to her feet. She was so afraid and nervous that she burst into tears, and hurriedly took off her socks, immediately stripping off a layer of skin, but after a while her feet looked as if they had not been burned. She suddenly realized, "Is it because the Teacher of Falun Gong was looking after me, because I often say Falun Gong is good?"
3. Once I passed by a market to buy some fruit and vegetables. The old man who was selling fruit said, "I'll change it for a bigger one for you." I said, "do not trouble yourself; as a Falun Gong practitioner I don't take advantage of others and behave as a good person should." Then I clarified the truth of the fabricated self-immolation case to him. The old man said, "I know it! I've read the truth-clarification materials and know that this is all fake and fabricated. I know you are all good people." When I left I asked the old man to remember, "Falun Gong is good" and "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good." He said, "Thank you! I wish you all the best!"
4. When Xiao Yan had her health assessment in summer 2002, a four centimeter tumor (approximately 1-1/2 inches) was found in her uterus. Soon six more small tumors appeared. She asked her mother, a Dafa practitioner, to come and meet her. The mother had suffered from all kinds of serious illnesses before she practiced Falun Gong. She said to her daughter, "All your uncles and aunts in our hometown who had a lot of illnesses before have gotten well after practising Falun Gong. I tried to get you to practice, but you always said you were busy with work. Now you have come to this stage. Please, make no excuses any longer. There may be no further opportunity if you miss it." Xiao Yan was suddenly awakened. Soon the daughter and son-in-law called the mother to tell her that Xiao Yan had no more health problems. Both the daughter and son-in-law now practice.
