1. [Yushu City, Jilin Province] Dafa Practitioner Xu Guiliang and His Wife are Sentenced to 11 and 13 years of Imprisonment, Respectively

Police arrested Dafa practitioner Mr. Xu Guiliang and his wife for practicing Dafa, and they were brutally tortured during detention. Because they firmly refused to give up their belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," they were sentenced to 11 and 13 years of imprisonment, respectively. Currently they are being detained at Wuchang City's No 1 Detention Center in Heilongjiang Province.

2. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Heizuizi Labor Camp Officials Force Dafa Practitioners to Make Crafts for Export

The authorities from Changchun City's Heizuizi Labor Camp force Dafa practitioners to work from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. every day without a noon break, to make crafts for export. Recently, as some practitioners had diarrhea, practitioners were allowed to rest for 30 minutes at noon. When inspection officials come, the labor camp authorities order practitioners to do their work in dormitories. They remove finished products through the back door.

3. [Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Chengdu City's Military District Personnel Order a Hospital to Fake Health Report

In order to try to force Dafa practitioners to renounce their faith, in June and July 2003, Chengdu City's Military District police transferred Dafa practitioners Ms. Zhou Lin and Ms. Zhao Wenjie. These two ladies had been detained at the Political Section of the Military District for over a year. The perpetrators moved them to Zizhong City's Nanmusi Female Labor Camp for further persecution. Practitioner Zhao Wenjie held a hunger strike from late April to early June to protest the persecution, so she was very weak. During a physical examination she was found to be in very poor health, and the Nanmusi Female Labor Camp officials refused to accept her. Then officials from the Military District took her to another hospital for examination and directed the doctor to make a fake, good health report so they could send her to the labor camp.

4. [Handan City, Hebei Province] More Than 60 Falun Gong Practitioners are Detained at Handan City Forced Labor Camp

Currently, more than 60 Falun Gong practitioners are being detained at Handan City Forced Labor Camp. Police guards collected the practitioners together for forced brainwashing. Every day they forced practitioners to listen to Dafa-slandering messages and misinterpretations of Dafa.

5. [Quzhou County, Hebei Province] Arrest of Dafa Practitioner Zhang Fengling and His Wife

On June 30, in collusion with Handan City's police personnel, officers from Quzhou County Police Department in Handan City, Hebei Province illegally arrested Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang Fengling and his wife. Their current whereabouts are unknown.

Ever since Jiang's group began persecuting Falun Gong, hundreds of Dafa practitioners have been detained at Quzhou County Police Department. More than 20 practitioners were sent to labor camps, their homes were ransacked and they were fined. Many practitioners' families became destitute because of the persecution. Qiao Linghuai, a thug who took part in the persecution even said, "See! Falun Gong practitioners' families are all poor." Qiao has been promoted from head of the local police station to chief of the Political and Security Section of the county police department because of his participation in the persecution against Falun Gong.

6. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Police Arrest Dafa Practitioner Zhang Chenyao from Xinzhou County

Dafa practitioner Zhang Chenyao from Fangyang in Xinzhou County was forced to leave home in November 2001 to avoid illegal arrest. On July 12, 2003, he went home to fix the leaking roof on his house, but the local police arrested and sent him to a detention center.

7. [Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Some Personnel from Luodai Town, Longquanyi District Who Persecute Dafa Practitioners

Since July 20, 1999, policemen in Luodai Town, Longquanyi District have been persecuting Dafa practitioners by ransacking their homes, forcing them to hand in fines and following them wherever they go. Two female practitioners were regarded as "key" figures and were forced to leave home and live in exile; they have been detained several times. Three Dafa practitioners were sentenced to imprisonment and have been detained again and again.

9. [Northern China] Dafa Practitioners Successfully Hold an Experience-Sharing Conference Around July 20, 2003

Around July 20, 2003, Dafa practitioners from a certain place in China successfully held an experience-sharing conference. In the past four years, no matter how perilous the situation was, Dafa practitioners have persevered sturdily in validating Dafa, clarifying the facts and saving sentient being; their belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance has never altered a bit. During the two-day conference, they studied Teacher's recent lectures and Zhuan Falun, and shared experiences. Practitioners had in-depth sharing on righteous thoughts and righteous actions (from the perspectives of security, righteous thoughts and spending money), finding one's attachments, getting rid of one's loopholes, and cooperating as one body, and gained a clearer understanding on the Fa. The conference was filled with compassion and serenity. Some were moved to tears when hearing others' experience sharing. Gaps amongst practitioners disappeared in this righteous field. Practitioners achieved better coordination on specific Fa-rectification work. The conference was a great success.

10. [Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] Dafa Practitioners Zhang Zhong, Zhu Hongbin, Zhang Huiyu and Wang Jie Stage Hunger Strike to Protest Persecution

In October 2002, Ms. Wang Jie and Mr. Cai Shaojie were arrested in Tieling City, Liaoning Province. In 2003, they were sentenced to 7 years and 4 years imprisonment, respectively. They were recently sent to Shenyang City's Dabei Prison. Wang Jie has been staging a hunger strike for nearly a month. She was force-fed multiple times and her life is now in great danger.

11. [Zizhong County, Sichuan Province] Personnel at the Nanmusi Forced Labor Camp Persecute Dafa Practitioner Fu Tianlu by Holding Her Indefinitely

Ms. Fu Tianlu used to be an employee of Ziyang City's Internal-Combustion Engine Factory Affiliated Hospital. The police in Yanjiang District, Ziyang City sentenced her to two years of forced labor for persisting in practicing Dafa. She is now detained at the No.7 Team in Zizhong City's Nanmusi Women's Forced Labor Camp. During detention, Fu firmly believes in Dafa and Teacher and refuses to give up her belief. Her term expired on July 18, 2003; however, the personnel at the forced labor camp refused to release her, saying that they won't release her until she is "transformed." Fu weighed 120 Jin (approximately 132 pounds) before being sent to the forced labor camp, but she now only weights 70 Jin (approximately 77 pounds) and she is extremely weak.

In addition, Teams 7, 8 and 9 are places for holding Dafa practitioners. Their phone number is unavailable now.

On April 27 or 28, 2003, in the No.4 Division of Chaoyang Forced Labor Camp (on the second floor), Dafa practitioner Mr. Yang Xiufan shouted "Falun Dafa Hao" (which means Falun Dafa is Good) in the washroom. Practitioners Mr. Ni Junhua and Mr. Liu Xue refused to write the so-called "Transformation Statement." They were then taken to a committee office by three policemen, including Qi Yongshun (brigade leader) and Gao Zhiguo (squadron leader).

Four practitioners were arrested and taken to a brainwashing center, and four practitioners were forced to leave home to avoid further persecution. One of the practitioners sent out strong righteous thoughts and her family members also resisted the policemen who tried to arrest her. This practitioner went away from home to avoid the persecution. A couple of days later, personnel from the "610 Office" came to her home several times to threaten her family members to tell them her whereabouts. On the evening of July 13th, three of her family members were arrested, even though they were not practitioners.

20. [Guizhou City, Yunnan Province] Arrest and Abduction of Dafa Practitioner Ms. Song Yuanya into Guiyang City's Lannigou Brainwashing Center

Ms. Song Yuanya, 34 years old, deals with disposing of water in the Guizhou Hotel.

In May 2002, her unit forced her to write the so-called "guarantee statement**or she would be sent to a brainwashing center. So she had to give up her work and leave home to avoid persecution.

In May 2003 after a colleague learned where she lived, this colleague was deceived by their unit and brought some personnel to find her. They forcibly took her to Guiyang City's Lannigou (in Jinzhu Town) Brainwashing Center. But soon after she arrived there, Song went on a hunger strike. Her current situation is unknown.

Phone number of Song Yuanya's work unit: switchboard: 86-851-6822888, 6823888, 6824888 ext. 3116

21. [Kaiyang County, Guizhou Province] Records of Deeds of Lawless Policemen Huang Gejian and Yang Mingjiu, who are Persecuting Dafa Practitioners

Huang Kejian and Yang Mingjiu trampled the freedom of belief and human rights of Dafa practitioners. Due to their despicable persecution against firm Dafa practitioners, one practitioner has been sent to a forced labor camp; several have been illegally detained. They also tightly monitor Dafa practitioners and search practitioners' houses at will. They send firmly committed Dafa practitioners to forced labor camps, forcing their work units to fire them or suspend their salaries to force them to sign the "Three Statements***"

22. [Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Lawless Police Officers Destroy Three Dafa Materials Production Sites

On July 17, policemen from the National Security Team in Dalian City's Zhongshan Police Precinct destroyed three Dafa materials production sites in succession. Dafa practitioners Ms. Ren Yazhi, Mr. Yu Xinhua, Ms. Dong Meiyan, Mr. Sun, an engineer and a female Dafa practitioner were arrested. Machines and cash worth over one hundred thousand Yuan**** were confiscated.

Mr. Sun was detained at the Tianjin Street Police Precinct, and the other four practitioners were sent to the Yaojia Detention Center. Because of "disqualification during medical check-up," Ren Yazhi was released. But after she was released, she didn't calm down to study the Fa enough and discover hidden attachments that led to the previous losses, and she hurriedly began to reorganize a new material production site. What she did made it easier to provide clues for policemen to continuously destroy more Dafa materials production sites . We hope Dafa practitioners in Dalian City will send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil in other dimensions while seriously paying attention to security issues. Let's treat security seriously!

23. [China and Thailand] "Huang Renxiong" is a Special Agent Deceiving Dafa Practitioners in Mainland China and Thailand (Photos)

Huang Renxiong, born on September 21, 1973

Name on passport: Zhang Guangfa

Passport number: G05758117

Refugee ID under application No: 17018

Home address: No.4 Jianshe Street in Qingshan District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China

In May 2003, Huang Renxiong came to Thailand from Mainland China and presented himself as a Dafa practitioner in order to deceive local practitioners. In both Thailand and China, some practitioners who didn't deeply understand the Fa were deceived. His behavior has severely disturbed practitioners' cultivation practice. We hope those practitioners who were deluded by him will become clear minded as soon as possible, treat the Fa as teacher, eliminate attachments to fame, personal interest and sentimentality, and become righteous practitioners once again.
