Li Wenlong, a practitioner in Dehui, graduated from Changchun Food Science College. After graduation he was a technician at Liaoyang vegetable-oil plant. After going to Beijing to appeal in 1999, he was sent back to Changchun City and locked up in Tiexi Detention Center for a month. During that month, he suffered all kinds of inhumane tortures, such as: being forced to sleep on a vertical board, being doused with cold water, being scolded, and beaten as part of a daily routine. The torturers tried more than 40 methods of corporal punishment on him. After being discharged from the detention center, he was fired by his work place because he refused to write an affidavit to quit practicing Falun Gong. On December 15th 2000, he went to Beijing again for a peaceful appeal. He was arrested again in Tiananmen square and was sentenced to one year of forced labor education. He is now jailed at Yinmahe Labor Camp, Jiutai City, Jilin Province. They wouldn't let his family members meet with him unless he wrote an affidavit to quit Falun Gong. He is forced to do heavy labor everyday. He said that after work, his quilt pants were all thoroughly wet from his perspiration.

[Panshi, Jilin Province] The Bitter Experience of Practitioner Li Qi
Li Qi is a Dafa practitioner living in Sanpeng Town, Panshi City, Jilin province. He went to Beijing for peaceful appeal prior to New Year's Day. After being arrested in Tiananmen, he was then illegally sentenced to one year of forced labor education on February 8th 2001. He is now jailed in Beijing Tuanhe Labor Camp and is not allowed to meet with his family members. They force him to endure hard labor and so-called 'transformation work' [to convince him to give up Falun Gong]. The local Police Department in Panshi City was told to take Li Qi back, but they refused to do so. They denied the fact that local Dafa practitioners have been to Beijing to appeal, because otherwise they would have lost their bonus money. (The central government has stipulated that only when they have successfully suppressed the Falun Gong movement can police get their bonus money Translator) In order to grab the bonus money, they would rather leave people suffering in Beijing. Another practitioner in Beijing found out some information about that Labor Camp. Because the "transformation work' was not done so well in the southern part of the country, all the jailed Falun Gong practitioners are not sent back to their local place any more, they have to stay in Beijing. They are not allowed to meet family members, no correspondence, and no contact is allowed when purchasing daily supplies. All information is blocked. Currently, people outside know nothing about what's happening to those practitioners in this Labor Camp.

1) On March 4th 2001, a group of people from Nancheng Police Station in Shulan City and the local Residential Committee went to Kong Fanrong's house.(Kong is a Falun Dafa practitioner. She must have left the house already.) They forced her daughter, Bian Lingyun (also a practitioner), to look for her mother, Kong, and to report her to the police station. Otherwise, they threatened to pry the door open and take their household belongings. Moreover, they even threatened Ms Bian with robbing hers and her mother-in-law's (a non practitioner) houses as well.
2) A man with the last name Zhu, who is the Council Secretary of Liangjiashan Town, Shulan City, is also in charge of the suppression of Falun Gong there.

[Shenzhen, Guangdong Province] Practitinoer Li Zhenmin is Captured
On February 26th , in the afternoon, practitioner Li Zhenmin was captured by the city's public security officers when he was doing work on some transformed persons. [Someone must have been 'transformed' and quit the Falun Dafa, Mr. Li was trying to advise the person to continue practicing the Falun Dafa.] So far his whereabouts are unknown.

Hereby, we remind all other Falun Dafa practitioners to be cautious and try to keep ourselves safe. We should be much wiser and cooler-headed.
[Changchun, Jilin Province] Practitioner is Forced to Leave Home
My friend in Changchun called me and said that her mother, an elementary school teacher with very good conduct, is forced to leave her home because she refused to sign a guarantee letter to not practice, not to appeal, and not clarify the truth. One will be sent to the expensive "transformation class" if one does not sign. Those who cannot be transformed are sent to labor camps directly. Under this pressure her mother became a wanderer. Because of loss of income, the poor home cannot even afford the house rental fee. So they have to find a house in the suburb area. Being in college, my friend strongly feels how miserable this life is! She often thinks of her mother who is still wandering in the cold wind.
The tyranny has broken up so many families around us. We earnestly implore the international society and kind-hearted people to pay a close attention!
