1. [Beijing] Three Dafa Practitioners Tortured at Beijing's Female Forced Labor Camp
A. Dafa practitioner Ms. Yang Xiaofeng had been on a hunger strike for eight months at Beijing's Female Forced Labor Camp and was later sent to a police hospital for additional torture. During her hospitalization, doctors issued her family a critically ill notification. She had symptoms of mental collapse following the torture she received in the hospital. At present she is being detained at the No. 1 Division of Beijing's Female Forced Labor Camp.
B. Since practitioner Ms. Qiu Shuqin refused to give up her righteous belief at Beijing's Female Forced Labor Camp, she was always locked up in solitary confinement. Wardens only permit her to sleep three hours every day, often forced her to stand facing walls, and also beat her up frequently. If there were an inspection of the forced labor camp, they transfer her somewhere to hide her from the inspectors.
C. Practitioners Ms. He Wen was placed in a forced labor camp and had her detention extended, but she refused to give up her belief in Falun Dafa. Eventually she walked out of the forced labor camp in a dignified manner, but is presently being detained at the Beijing Forced Labor Camp. She has been on a hunger strike to protest the persecution but is being force-fed daily at the Tuanhe Hospital.

Five or six policemen carried him to a police vehicle and took him to the police precinct.
On the second day they transferred him to Jilin City's No. 3 Detention Center. Twenty days later he was again transferred, this time to Jiutai City's Detention Center, and detained there for a year. As he refused to give up his righteous belief, his detention term had been extended twice and was eventually changed to an unlimited detention term. Policemen claimed that if he still refused to give up he would never be released. Yang has been detained about five months beyond the deadline.

(Note: only people that are in extremely poor condition are in this team.) As the police do not allow her husband and mother to visit her, details about Yang Huixia's physical condition are unknown.

10. [Xiangtan City, Hunan Province] "610 Office" Personnel Arrest Xiao Zixiang And Other Dafa Practitioners
In the early morning of February 25, 2004, a group of people from Xiangtan City's "610 Office," from the Police Department and local Residential Community Office came to the home of practitioner Mr. Xiao Zixiang, an employee of the Natural Gas Company. These people claimed that they were afraid Falun Gong practitioners would come out to hold some activities during The Two Conferences,(3) so they wanted Xiao to attend a brainwashing session at the Legal Systems Education Center (actually a brainwashing center) at the Wujia Garden. Xiao, over 60 years old, refused to go, as did his wife.
He said, "I study the Falun Dafa principles, practice the Dafa exercises at home, and try to be a good person. This is my fundamental human right. Why should I go to the brainwashing center? Officials are having meetings in Beijing while I am leading an ordinary life in Xiangtan City. How could I affect the conferences? It does not make sense. It is impossible that you want to force me to give up my belief at the brainwashing center. I have been put into prisons. It is your daydream to brainwash me."
But seven or eight people from the "610 Office" forcibly took Xiao downstairs from the fifth floor and sent him to the Wujia Garden's Brainwashing Class.
Another Dafa practitioner, Ms. Zhang Yaqin, was also taken away. Her whereabouts are unclear.
