[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Jiang Zemin Issues New Persecution Policy
A reliable source has reported that starting around October 12, 2001, Harbin City has started implementing a new policy on persecuting Falun Gong. This policy was issued directly by Jiang Zemin to the Party Committee of Heilongjiang Province. It states that because the APEC [Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation] Convention is being held in Shanghai, all Falun Dafa practitioners within the region must be arrested. More than ten Falun Dafa practitioners have been arrested in Harbin City alone and at least two homes that were used to produce Falun Dafa literature and CDs have been destroyed.
[Shaanxi Province] 53 Falun Dafa Practitioners Arrested in Shaanxi Province, About 30 on Hunger Strike
October 1st, 2001 was a double holiday, for it was the Mid-Fall Festival as well as National Day. The Police Department of Shaanxi Province arrested 53 Falun Dafa practitioners. Initially, they were detained in Liejiatan Detention Center in Hu County, but because more than 30 practitioners went on a hunger strike, they were all sent deep into a forest on a mountain. Among them was Xiao Shoutang, a 71-year-old retired soldier.
Police told the practitioners' family members that the practitioners deserved to eat bullets. If they died, it would be like nothing had happened. The police tried hard to cover up the arrest, the hunger strike, and the secret transfer into the forest. Their evil intentions and scandalous behavior cause us to worry for the safety of these practitioners.
We call upon all people: Help stop the killing! Urgent: Rescue the 53 Falun Dafa practitioners in Shaanxi!

[Wuji County, Hebei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Gu Guoqiang of Wuji County, Hebei Province, Illegally Detained for 48 Days
Falun Dafa practitioner, Gu Guoqiang of Wuji County, Hebei Province, was illegally detained for 9 days after July 20th, 1999, because he firmly cultivated in Falun Dafa. He was also illegally detained for 4 months in October 1999, and illegally fined 4000 Yuan [average monthly pay for an urban worker in China is 500 Yuan RMB.] Then in March 2000, he was illegally sentenced to a labor camp because he said some righteous words (see Latest News from China - 07/28/2000- "The Ridiculous Sentences," http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2000/7/30/7565.html). After having completed his sentence in March of this year, he started working as a taxicab driver.
On the morning of August 28th, Song Hunxi, the Director of the Political and Security Section of the Wuji County Police Station, Instructor Li Zhanguo, and police officer Wang Congmin abducted Gu Guoqiang while he was working. On the same evening at 6 pm and at 8 pm, they illegally searched his home without any warrant. They took away his child's computer and printer, then drove away in his taxi (upon request they were later returned.) Gu Guoqiang is still being detained in Chengbei Detention Center. We heard that he was accused of "libel." The reason for this is that they found literature that revealed the truth about Falun Dafa within the county government, county People's Congress, and county Political Consultation Conference, and the "6-10 Office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems] suspected that Gu Guoqiang was responsible.

[Qingdao City, Shandong Province] News from Qingdao
Starting on October 1st, 2001, the evil forces in Qingdao went wilder than ever before and held continuous brainwashing classes in the Sixth Rubber Factory. We heard that Falun Dafa practitioners remained very firm in the brainwashing classes. Some of them were beaten many times, and some even had to get more than ten stitches in their heads. In the end, the evil forces were too afraid to dare to escalate the persecution and had to end their city-wide brainwashing campaign. The righteous thoughts and righteous actions of the practitioners in Qingdao were very effective in restraining and eliminating the evil forces.
Responsible criminal:
Wang Hongjun, Head of "6-10 Office" in Qingdao.
