1. [Changsha City, Hunan Province] Persecution Account of Practitioner Tan Xiangyu
Tianxin District Court, Changsha City sentenced Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Tan Xiangyu and Mr. Deng Chaogang to 3.5 and 4 years in prison, respectively. We have since found out that the city's Intermediate Court rejected the practitioners' appeals and maintained the original sentences. On November 1, 2004, personnel from Changsha City Detention Center sent Tan Xiangyu to Hunan Province Women's Prison. Due to the over one year of detention though, 57-year-old Tan was mentally and physically devastated. The prison refused to accept her because of her poor health as discovered during the physical check-up prior to the admission. Ms. Tan was taken back to the detention center that same day.
The detention center agreed to release those whose health did not qualify them for detention and put them under house arrest, but when Tan's family asked for her release, the detention center did not keep its promise. The family called the Intermediate Court, but did not get any response. At present, Tan is in peril.
The following is an excerpt from a letter Tan wrote to her family when she was in detention: "Long time no see. During the past four years, I have suffered a lot of tribulations and tortures for my righteous belief and for many living beings. The persecution brought a great deal of trouble and instability to your lives. I could not help you with housework. On the contrary, because of the persecution I have become a burden for you. I feel really sad. I hope you can understand me. I believe I can survive and overcome the tribulations in the Fa-rectification period with my determined, righteous belief and righteous thoughts, to welcome the brightness of the future."

2. [Macheng City, Hubei Province] Police Arrest Multiple Practitioners and Ransack Their Houses
In September 2004, someone reported to police that a few practitioners were having an experience-sharing meeting. He also wrote down the number of a motorcycle license plate, thus police from Macheng City arrested practitioner Mr. Li Jinjun and extorted 8,000 Yuan from his family. [500 Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China.]
On October 19, 2004, personnel from the Fuzihe Police Precinct arrested practitioner Fu Guanghua from the Fuzihe Area in Macheng City at home and put Fu into Hubei Province's brainwashing class. On the morning of October 21, 2004, over a dozen personnel from the National Security Team of the city's police department and from the Fuzihe Police Precinct went to the Heiyuncong Residential Block, Songjiabian Village, Fuzihe Town to arrest practitioners. Without showing any search and seizure warrant, they broke into practitioners' homes and turned their homes upside down. Once they would find some Dafa materials they would arrest practitioners. They abducted practitioners Ms. Dai Zhihua and Ms. Cai Wangxi. Police in the Fuzihe Police Precinct interrogated them under torture. They beat the practitioners, who sustained severe bruises. Afterwards, they put the two practitioners into the city's Administration Detention Center. The police threatened the practitioners' families that if they would not pay 2,000 Yuan, police would transfer the two practitioners into the Criminal Detention Center for further persecution.
3. [Chengde City, Hebei Province] Practitioner Ms. Yan Fenghong Resists Detention With Righteous Thoughts
Ms. Yan Fenghong is a farmer from Yanyingzi Village, Chengde City. On September 14, 2004, when she was at home, police broke into her home, carried her into a car, and took her to the Dashimiao Police Station. They handcuffed her to a metal pole in the yard. An hour later, she was sent to the Lushanzi Valley Brainwashing Class and was handcuffed one more night. On the 15th, Lu Feng and Liu Mingcheng led seven or eight persons there. They asked her what her husband's name was. She wouldn't tell them, and then they cuffed her hands behind her back and started to beat her. They put a spittoon on her head after beating her for quite a while, and then beat her again until they became tired. They beat her so badly that her body was covered with wounds. They then sent her to the Dalaohu Valley Detention Center.
She has two elderly parents and two young children at home. Her husband is sick; the whole family depends on her for a living. She firmly refused to cooperate with the police and acted in an upright manner. The police didn't get anything they wanted, so they released her on October 13.

In August 2004, authorities from the Yichun Railway Station of the Jiamusi Railway Administration Division, Heilongjiang Province detained its own employee, practitioner Xu Weijing, in the office. They did not permit him to return home, forced him to write a so-called "Guarantee Statement," and intimidated his family to hand in 5,000 Yuan, saying otherwise they would send him to Suihua City's brainwashing class in ten days for "reeducation".
Practitioner Mr. Xu Weijing, 27 years old, a very nice young man, does whatever assignment he is given. He is a diligent and reliable person. Beginning from January 2001, Mr. Xu has been held in the Yichun Detention Center for two months for appealing for Falun Gong. In the spring of 2002, the Yichun Railway Station authorities sent him to Yichun City's brainwashing class again for two months. The station authorities sent him home from work many times, saying some high level leaders would come to Yichun City. They put frequent pressure on him during these five years, forbidding him to practice Falun Gong and expelling him from the Party.
It is unknown where the station authorities sent Xu Weijing. His parents and three older sisters are very worried. His parents even fell ill from worrying so much.
7. [Qingyuan County, Hebei Province] Practitioners Zhang Li and Li Yanfen Held in a Brainwashing Class
Around 8:00 p.m. on September 18, 2004, Fan Wenzhi, People's Congress head and also head of Donglu Township, Qingyuan County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, led more than 20 persons and arrested Ms. Zhang Li from her home in Nanwangzhuang Village without due cause. The enforcers showed no ID. They put her in the township government building. Zhang Li kept clarifying the truth to them, but these persons were flustered and exasperated. They sent Zhang Li to the brainwashing class inside the Criminal Team of Qingyuan County's Police Department. It's been over a month and they still haven't released her.
Mr. Xiong was arrested while distributing truth-clarifying materials and has been held in Qingyuan County's brainwashing class for over 20 days. His wife Li Yanfen, who is also a practitioner, went to the brainwashing class to demand his release. She was arrested and held in the brainwashing class, too. Li Yanfen said loudly, "Falun Dafa is Great" and was thus beaten up by the brainwashing class staff with a wooden stick 50 centimeters (18 inches) in length and over three centimeters in diameter (1-1/4 inch). The stick broke into three pieces.
Now Ms. Zhang Li and Ms. Li Yanfen are on a hunger strike to resist the persecution. Practitioners in Qingyuan County's brainwashing class have to relieve themselves in their rooms.
Qingyuan County's brainwashing class had already held two senior male practitioners for two years. They still have not been released.

On October 27, 2004, Xu finished the five year prison term. Since he still persists in practicing Falun Dafa, the police from Tianjin City's prison said Xu Xiaolong has not been reformed, so they transferred him to the Xiqing Police Department in Tianjin.
Now, personnel at the Xiqing Police Department have transferred Xu Xiaolong to the Liqizhuang Police Station in Dabianzhuang, Tianjin. The police from the Liqizhuang Station put Xu into the Tianjin Security Detention Center. Prior to Xu leaving Tianjin City's prison he was tortured and injured.
