1. [Hong Kong] Practitioner Lin Junhui is Sent to Brainwashing Class in Mainland China
Ms. Lin Junhui, a practitioner from Hong Kong, went to Shenjun, through Luohu, on November 22, 2003. She was detained by customs and sent to a so-called "education institute" (a brainwashing class). After 33 days of brainwashing, they could not sever Lin Junhui's belief in Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. The staff from the State Security Department told her brother, "Your sister did not cooperate with us, we can do nothing." So they sent her to the Luohu Detention Center.
I have been calling the detention center and inquiring about her. They are terrified and deny that there ever was such a person. Once I called at night. They transferred me to an internal line and someone said, "This is the gynecology and obstetrics department." When I called again, no one answered the phone. Her brother also went to the detention center to request her release, but they refused.
Lin Junhui has been detained and tortured by the State Security Department. Her safety is uncertain.

5. [Dabei City, Liaoning Province] Facts Surrounding Dabei Jail's Persecution of Huang Guirong
Dabei Jail has been using criminal inmates to torture Falun Gong practitioners. If any criminal is able to force a Falun Gong practitioner to give up his belief, his jail term is reduced. The jail strictly blocks news from the outside world. Steadfast practitioners are not allowed to see their family members, make calls, or talk to anyone.
A criminal inmate from Team Six in the Dabei Jail named Fu Lijuan (also known as Fu Dianjuan) is from Ciyutuo Town, Liaozhong County. In order to decrease his own term, he often plotted with other criminals in the torture of Dafa practitioner Ms. Huang Guirong. In order to avoid drawing other people's attention they gagged her mouth and hung her somewhere she couldn't be seen. They cut her at very sensitive points on her body. Huang Guirong could not endure the torture and jumped off the second floor. The jail's administration department did not handle the issue according to the law. On the contrary, the perpetrator's term was decreased. They continued to persecute and monitor Huang while lying to the outside world and saying that they were taking good care of her. Actually, while Huang was recovering in bed, Fu Lijuan continued to beat and abuse her. He strictly monitored her and prohibited her from making contact with anyone. The jail even refused to notify her family. Without consent from her family members the jail made her undergo an operation.
Someone asked an official in the government, "Don't you know that Dabei Jail beats people?" This official said, "Of course we know. It is all because the upper levels gave out orders. Otherwise, how could they dare do that?"
"What do you mean by ¡®upper levels'?"
"Of course it must be the Liaoning Justice Department and the Jail Administration Bureau."

9. [Guanshan Town, Shanxi Province] Guanshan Town Police Wrongfully Arrest Dafa Practitioners
A couple named Wang Lu and Zhao Mujian started to practice Falun Gong in February 1998. On February 3, 2001 they were brought to the Guanshan Police Department by Pingding City police under false pretenses. They received five months' brainwashing and two and one-half years of forced labor. The couple was arrested at the same time, leaving two kids at home; one was 16 years old and one was 9 years old, and they had no one to take care of them. After the couple was brought to the brainwashing class, they requested permission to go back to arrange for the lives of their two children, but no one paid attention to their requests. They were later released. While at home, they have been monitored and frequently harassed.
Ms. Han Linhua was brought to the Guanshan Town Police Station under false pretenses on February 3, 2001. She was sentenced to nine months' of brainwashing class and two years of forced labor. When she left home, only her 11-year-old son was at home (her husband Ren Yinping was unjustly sentenced to three years of jail on November 27, 1999 and detained in the Taiyuan Jinzhong Jail). At the beginning, she was forced to watch videos and read a newspaper attacking Dafa. The newspaper was written by Wang Maoyin, the assistant secretary of Guanshan town. One night, Wang Maoyin (male) broke into the rooms of female practitioners and pulled off their quilts. At that time Han only had on her underwear. In May 2003, Guo Zhenzhu led police from the Pingding police station in searching her home. They found Teacher's articles, so they took the couple to the police branch. Han's husband was beaten and two of his teeth were knocked out. They were interrogated for the entire night, which was followed by 15 days of detention, and a two-year sentence in a forced labor camp.

- Doctor Lu (female) and Nurse Bai from Shenyang Detention Center instruct criminal prisoners to force-feed Falun Dafa practitioners with strong salt water. Sometimes the prisoners press practitioners' hands, feet, belly and legs to the bed with all their strength. Sometimes they cuff practitioners to the bed. In spite of practitioners' resistance, they force-feed them, usually by inserting a tube into practitioners' throats. Once, a criminal prisoner who went to see the doctor was so horrified by the sight of such brutal force-feeding that he/she had a heart attack on the spot.
- After jailed practitioners are transferred, Shenyang Detention Center hides their whereabouts from family members in order to keep collecting their money for food and necessities sold in the detention center. These items are inflated well above market price.

Officers from the Chuanhua Group Limited Company in Sichuan Province, including Liao Hongbin, participate in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners by deducting monthly bonuses from practitioners' salary, and cooperating with the local "610 Office" in the persecution. In order to restore the monthly bonus, practitioners are asked to meet "six requirements." Four of the requirements are: 1. Hand in Falun Dafa books. 2. Write so-called "statement of guarantee." [A statement to declare that one is remorseful for practicing Falun Gong and guarantees not to practice Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and never again associate with any Falun Dafa practitioners.] 3. Denounce Falun Gong. 4. Expose other practitioners. Currently the company is implementing an early "retirement" plan, where state-run enterprises pay their employees a lump sum in compensation for their years of work and dismiss them. After dismissal, the employees lose all company benefits. Those who are close to retirement age are denied this "pension." Falun Gong practitioners are asked to write the so-called "statement of guarantee" in order to be paid the compensation sum.
