2. [Beijing] Violence Against Dafa Practitioners In the Basement of the Beijing Public Security Hospital
Since 2002, police officers in Beijing have rounded up Dafa practitioners who did not reveal their names and addresses and/or went on hunger strikes during previous detentions. The practitioners are kept in the basement of the Beijing Public Security Hospital. While there, Dafa practitioners are stripped by police officers and bound to beds, and then force-fed or injected with fluids by criminals. Some police officers filled plastic baskets with irritating chemicals, attach the baskets to Dafa practitioners heads, and then hit the baskets with wooden sticks to cause hidden injuries to Dafa practitioners' brains.

9. [Nanmusi Forced Labor Camp, Sichuan Province] New Conspiracies to Deceive Dafa Practitioners to Give Up the Practice
Recently, Group head Li of the Nanmusi Women's Forced Labor Camp searched for former Dafa practitioners who had given up their practice under pressure to come back to the camp so they could become collaborators and persuade detained Dafa practitioners to give up the practice. The "610 office" [a bureau specifically created by the Chinese government to persecute Falun Gong. It has absolute power over each level of administration in the Party, as well as over the political and judiciary branches] had told the detained practitioners that they could go back to their original work units to work or the "610 office" would find them jobs if they gave up the practice. But the truth is that no jobs were available for them. So Li could not recruit enough former practitioners to fill his attempts. Only a few people that had some other source income were taken to the labour camp to be used to deceive detained Dafa practitioners.
10. [Suining City, Sichuan Province] Falun Gong Practitioner Li Zhumin Is Fined Many Times and Forced to Leave His Home
Mr. Li Zhumin is 45 years old and lives in the Hengshan area in the downtown District. One night in February 2002, while posting "Falun Dafa is good" slogans, he was arrested by the Hengshan Police and then detained at the City Detention Center for two months. Police threatened to sentence him to two and a half years in jail. His family members spent 18,000 Yuan and appealed to all their connections to help get Li released. After Li was released, officers from the Xining Police Station searched his home and found Teacher's Articles. Li was arrested and taken to the Xining Police station. He was tortured that night. His liver was severely damaged by the torture and he was left in a critical situation. Only then was he sent to the Suining Hospital for emergency treatment. The second day, police asked his family to pay 2000 Yuan to pick up him. After his injuries were healed, police went to his home to arrest him. Li had to leave his home to avoid further persecution.
