[Beijing] Dafa Practitioners' Proposal
Since April, some Dafa practitioners in Beijing have been joining a group Fa-rectification activity of sending righteous thoughts each night to eliminate the evil factors in the Beijing area.

[Yi County, Hebei Province] Arrest of Practitioners Xu Xiuyan, Zhao Jinfeng, and Wei Xiuling
On May 18, police from Yi County together with other local officials arrested practitioners Ms. Xu Xiuyan from Xiwei Village in Tanghu Town, Yi County, Ms. Zhao Jinfeng and Ms. Wei Xiuling from Peishan Town, and Ms. Li Wenfeng from Xishanbei Township.
Since July 20, 1999, when the sensitive days* were approaching, police from Yi County and personnel from local government would persecute those practitioners whom they consider determined. They held practitioners at detention centers or local government offices to abuse and maltreat them, and forced them to give up their belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." In Xishanbei Township alone, four practitioners have been forced to leave home and go from place to place to avoid the persecution.
Since July 20, 1999, the local government extorted at least 100 Yuan**, or up to several thousand Yuan, from all practitioners, even those who had just learned the exercises the two days previously. Some practitioners' homes have been ransacked and destroyed. Local citizens said these deeds were worse than what had been done by bandits.
