2. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] The 50 Practitioners Detained in Dabei Prison Are Steadfast in Practicing Falun Gong

The 50 illegally detained practitioners in Dabei Prison include former directors of Falun Gong assistant centers in Liaoning Province, among them Gao Qiuju (female) director of the assistant center in Dalian City. Jiang Zemin's associates have sent many brainwashed and "converted" practitioners, those who gave up practicing, to try and persuade them to give up their practice. But the brainwashed practitioners have all left in humiliating defeat. Among the 50 practitioners, those who had been coerced have declared void their "repentance statements" giving up the practice and taken back the paper they wrote when they were not in a clear state of mind. They have come back to practicing Falun Dafa.

3. [Northeastern China] "A Memory to be Treasured: Celebrating My 23rd Birthday by Going to Tiananmen Square."

One afternoon in November of 2001, a male practitioner from northeastern China went to Tiananmen Square, wearing a suit, tie, and his best coat. He unfurled a 1.5-meter- long yellow banner with red characters on it and called out, "Falun Dafa is good. Falun Dafa is the righteous way! Restore the reputation of my Teacher!" He returned home safely. On the train going home, there were even some kind-hearted people helping him to get a seat. All this reflects the mighty power of Fa and that Teacher is always looking after the students.

That day was his birthday. He said, "To validate Falun Dafa in Tiananmen Square is serious. That's why I was formally attired. I also intended to tell people that practitioners are from different age groups and different walks of life. I have always cherished this idea of validating Dafa in Tiananmen as a celebration of my birthday. It will leave a good memory forever. I was born to this world for Falun Dafa. Therefore I should do what a Dafa disciple ought to do on my birthday. Validating Dafa in Tiananmen Square is the best I can do for the teacher of Falun Dafa who gives me my true life."

4. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Practitioners are fired for their belief

A colleague of my sister's disclosed in a conversation that one of her relatives is a police officer in Dalian City, Liaoning Province, who handles the issue of Falun Gong. She said that the authorities have given quotas for each police officer to arrest 9 practitioners. Otherwise, they won't get their bonuses. The police officers privately discussed distributing equally the practitioners they arrested so that every one can get their bonus.

Last night, a relative of mine called me to warn me that the police in Dalian City are very actively trying to arrest practitioners. Practitioners in Dalian City, please stay alert.

A practitioner who was just released from a labor camp was called to the police station. The police asked him whether he would continue practicing Falun Gong. If the answer were "Yes", he would be sentenced to prison. Now the practitioner has to leave home to avoid the persecution.

6. [Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province] Suffocating the Evil in the Brainwashing Class.

Unable to pry open the door, policemen and fire fighters smashed the outer wall to get into the room, completely destroying the place.

15. A Peddler Comes to Know the Truth

One day, when I gave a truth-clarifying flyer to a peddler, I was surprised to hear him say, "Our family has got it already. After reading it we came to realize that what was said on TV were all lies. Reports of besieging the Zhongnanhai Government Compound and the Tiananmen Self-immolations are all false stories. How can anybody so easily besiege a place like Zhongnanhai? And how can any people attack the place with their bare hands? As to the girl in the hospital after the self-immolation incident, how could any one sing and be interviewed by the reporter after her throat was damaged from the burning? Everyone knows how corrupt Jiang Zemin is. Those who praise him must have received personal benefit, or they have to say things against their conscience. Every person knows it clearly at heart." I told him that my teacher is here to offer people salvation, not for any political power or get involved in politics. Not everyone is attached to political power. He was happy to hear it, and I was overjoyed to see a sentient being gain salvation. It also gave me confidence in future work of spreading Falun Dafa and clarifying the truth.

16. [Qinghuangdao City, Hebei Province] Police Department Tortures Practitioners

Recently, under the direction of the 6.10 Office, the police department in Qinghuangdao City, Hebei Province has secretly arrested many practitioners within the city area and tortured them severely. They use violent measures, such as hanging people up, shocking them with electric batons, locking people in narrow, iron cages lined with nails, whipping and beating them with clubs, and letting the mosquitoes feed on people. All the methods are ruthless and inhuman. Some practitioners lost consciousness repeatedly from the beatings. They were also not fed. Some practitioners were beaten for several days and nights consecutively. What's more striking is that the police treated the elderly, women, and toddlers all the same. A woman and her baby were locked in the iron cage with handcuffs without food for several days. The baby cried out of hunger.

The perpetrators are: Xa Qian, Li Fengyi, Wu Jinhua, Tian Peichun, Xu Yingwu, Lv Shuyi, and Wang Xianzeng.

17. [Changchun, Jilin Province] The Conduct of Authorities in Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp

While authorities are persecuting Falun Dafa and its practitioners, the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City, Jilin Province is one of its instruments. Ever since July 20, 1999 when the persecution began, they have detained many practitioners, from teenagers to the elderly.

  1. Strict Supervision: There are monitors in the corridors as well as bathrooms. The practitioners work, eat, and sleep in the same room. They can only go to the bathroom together. Under the watch of two or three inmates, they have no personal freedom. They are not allowed to leave the room, nor are they allowed to speak to others. Their families cannot visit them, and they cannot write or call them, they are practically cut off from the world and left in the hands of the perpetrators.
  2. Time Limit: The practitioners are given 5 minutes for eating and 10 minutes for washing clothes every ten or 15 days. They cannot take a shower for several months. Then when actually taking a shower, they only have 15 minutes. Every one has 5 minutes to use the bathroom. One has to get out even if he hasn't finished.
  3. Heavy Labor: Every one has to work 17-18 hours a day and finish a certain workload. Practitioner Wang Yan is 17 years old, yet she has double the workload compared to other people. Her hands are deformed from the heavy work.
  4. Mental Torture: The newcomers (practitioners) are not allowed to sleep at night. There are some people taking turns brainwashing them. The perpetrators punch and kick practitioners late at night, forcing them to stand for long hours. It goes on like that for ten days to a month. Some practitioners developed high blood pressure during the torture; some even had heart attacks and lost consciousness. In cases like that, the guards would say, "He is pretending to die."
  5. Forced brainwashing: Practitioners are forced to watch videos and displays slandering Falun Dafa and its teacher. Those who refuse to watch are beaten, cursed, and shocked by electric batons.
  6. Overdue Detention: There are numerous practitioners still under detention after they have served their terms because they refuse to give up practicing. They go on a hunger strike, demanding release, but are force-fed, shocked by electric batons, or locked in solitary confinement. The police also play music at mind numbing levels to unnerve them. Some practitioners are sent to the hospital due to the torture, but the torture continues even in the hospital.
