1. [Wendeng City, Shandong Province] Those Who Killed Falun Dafa Practitioner Liu Yufeng Bring a Plague to Their Local Area

Recently, a kind of plague broke out in Caomiaozi and Manshan in Wendeng City, Shandong Province, which is the hometown of Liu Yufeng, a Falun Dafa practitioner who was brutally beaten to death. This virus is incurable once people are infected. The government at all levels kept the information from leaking out by assigning guards at all intersections, where people are allowed to come in, but not go out.

This is precisely a warning to those wayward officials in Wendeng City, who followed human rights scoundrel Jiang Zemin and brutally persecuted the benevolent Falun Gong practitioners.

2. [Sichuan Province] The Touching Story of a 13-year-old Girl who Traveled to Beijing only Days after Obtaining Falun Dafa

A 13-year-old girl of Sichuan Province made the long journey to Beijing to validate Dafa. When she arrived, the police threw her into prison. All of the Dafa practitioners in the ward were moved to tears when she said, "Aunt, I started to practice the exercise three days ago, and I haven't yet learned the fifth set yet. Would you please teach me now?"

After having obtained Dafa only a few days, she was able to dedicate herself to Fa-rectification with an incomparably pure heart.

3. [Tumen City, Jilin Province] Police Kidnap the Mother of a Falun Dafa Practitioner

The unlawful officials in Tumen City, Jilin Province frantically arrested Dafa practitioners on February 20, just before the March meeting of the People's Political Consultative Conference and the People's Congress. They were told to do so by Politics and Law Committee Secretary Wang Baozhong, and the vice head of the Propaganda Department, Zhang Chuansheng, in order to prevent Dafa practitioners from going to Beijing to appeal. After being unable to arrest Dafa practitioner Han Jun, they took his mother as a hostage and forced the elderly lady to disclose information regarding her son's whereabouts. Although she didn't practice Dafa, she knew that Falun Dafa was good, and that it was not wrong for her son to cultivate Dafa and try to be a good person. She said, "Tell my son Jun that I would rather endure hardships here than cause him to be arrested by such vicious people."

4. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Evidence of the Criminal Behavior of Policeman Zhang Zhengzhen

Zhang Zhengzhen is the vile policeman from Section 1 of Changchun City Police Station whose badge number is 103167. Ever since Jiang Zemin began persecuting Dafa and Dafa practitioners, he has been involved in beating practitioners. He was thus praised by the Office 610. He has tortured Dafa practitioners with such cruelty that it has made other people indignant. For example, he not only physically tortures female Dafa practitioners, including the elderly ladies, but also sexually abuses them. Such behavior is vile and indecent.

5. [Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province] Five Falun Dafa Practitioners Unjustly Arrested, Their Homes Ransacked

On the night of August 4, 2001, five Dafa practitioners from Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province were unjustly arrested and detained while posting the truth-clarifying materials and hanging Dafa banners in the Junde area. Zhao Shuling, Wang Shuxia, Yang Xiaohong and Wang Guanglu were detained in Detention Center No. 2. Fu Detian was detained in Xing'an Police Sub-station. Afterwards, their homes were ransacked.

The following is the persecution record of some of the Dafa practitioners from Panzhihua City:

Yuan Yuxian (female) was tortured in order to get her to confess, but in vain. Her entire body was bruised from the beatings. She was left without the ability to hear for several days. Currently, she has been unjustly sentenced to two years of forced labor re-education and has been detained in Zizhong Female Labor Camp.

Wu Min, whose prison term is yet to be determined, was brought from the City Detention Center to the Yanbian Detention Center for interrogation. She was hung with her two hands cuffed in a special way--one hand coming down her back from her shoulder, and the other hand going up behind her back-- for two days and two nights, during which time she lost consciousness.

Wu Mingshan was handcuffed to a railing outside. He was exposed to the burning sun during the daytime and suffered cold and hunger at night.

Mao Linfang was brutally beaten and kicked.

Dong Mengjiu (female) was brought to the Panzhihua City Detention Center on March 13, 2001, and has not been sent back to the detention center yet. Nobody was left in her home.

8. [Raoyang County, Hebei Province] The Lawless Police Kidnap the Relatives of Falun Dafa Practitioners and Extort Several Thousands Yuan RMB from Them

In October 2000, three Falun Dafa practitioners from Raoyang County, Hebei Province went to Beijing to appeal. After they were arrested in Beijing, Tongyue Village Police Station detained the relatives of those three practitioners and extorted the travel expenses from them, 15,000 Yuan (about 20 months of average salary in Chinese city) for each person--and if they did not pay the money, they would be beaten. One practitioner's relative could not bear to have his/her relative take a beating and paid 8,000 Yuan. The other two relatives continued to be detained. Later, this practitioner was sent to Shijiazhuang Labor Camp and was not even allowed to see his relatives before leaving.

Tongyue Village Police Station also detained those who had practiced Falun Gong before. Those who had read Falun Dafa books were fined from 50~100 Yuan up to 5,000 Yuan (about 7 months of average salary in Chinese cities). Even those who did not practice any more still had to pay the fine. During that time, the male and female practitioners were detained together, eating, drinking and using the restroom in the same room. The relatives could not bear this and used things to separate the room. The thugs forced the practitioners to pay the money.

The other two practitioners' relatives were illegally detained for more than one month and released only after paying 6,500 Yuan. A relative who does not practice Falun Gong was also beaten.

More than 10 practitioners were detained. One 18-year-old practitioner had been practicing Falun Gong for one month. Since he was very determined after being detained, he was threatened to be sent to a labor camp. His relatives quickly invited people to dinner and spent more than 10,000 Yuan on gifts.

One practitioner who owned a restaurant was arrested and his restaurant was forced to stop doing business. In order to bail him out, his relatives invited people to dinner and spent nearly 20,000 Yuan on gifts.

More than 20 Falun Gong practitioners in Raoyang County received punishment, and were fined from 10,000 up to 12,000 Yuan for each person.

One practitioner was arrested for buying two buckets of paint. At the time of his arrest, he was told he would be detained for 3 days, but after he was detained, the term changed to 30 days and he was released only after paying 10,000 Yuan.

The tens of thousands Yuan in ransom money was pocketed by the police.

9. [China] A Senior Falun Dafa Practitioner was Forced to Stay Away from Home

Zhao Lanhua (female), 67 years old, has practiced Falun Dafa for 6 years. In May 2000, she was arrested for practicing Falun Gong and validating Falun Dafa. She was fined 1,000 Yuan. In January 2001, she was taken away from her home and her home was ransacked. Later she was also paraded on the streets with signs on her neck.

10. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Heizuizi Female Labor Camp Uses Excess Load Labor to Torture Falun Dafa Practitioners

Heizuizi Female Labor Camp uses excess load labor to torture Falun Dafa practitioners. Practitioners work nearly 20 hours every day from 4:00AM in the morning to 11:00PM in the evening and their work load is still increasing. Many practitioners fainted because they could not bear the heavy load in the intense heat of summer. Many practitioners had symptoms of nausea, vomiting, etc. In addition, the vicious police, in order to gain personal interests, deceived their superiors and fooled the subordinates. They told their superiors that because the practitioners did not finish their assignments, their work loads were increased. The evil force attempted to torture Falun Dafa practitioners by excess load labor, make them unable to endure, and thus shake their righteous faith and righteous thoughts to Falun Dafa. Their motives are extremely malicious.

11. [Jian City, Jiangxi Province] Police Arrest Practitioners Who Clarify the Truth of Falun Dafa

In April 2001, Deng Xiaohui from Shenzhen city, Guangdong Province was arrested by police while clarifying the truth of Falun Dafa in Jian, Jiangxi Province. At that time, a computer was confiscated from his residence and the truth-clarifying materials found stacked up to six feet tall. Several practitioners from other areas were also arrested at the same time. Some of them were released after being detained for one or two months, some were detained in the detention centers in Jian city or the nearby counties. It was learned that Jiangxi Province Public Security Bureau is handling this case in person. Now, Deng Xiaohui has already been arrested and probably will be sentenced to jail.

Deng Xiaohui was very steadfast in the Jian City Detention Center. The inmates in the same cell with Deng Xiaohui were shaken by the mighty power of Falun Dafa. One prisoner said one day, "I saw the teacher of Falun Gong in my dream last time, and he told me to practice Falun Gong." It is thus clear that there are people who have the predestined relationships everywhere.

Another Falun Dafa practitioner, Sun Guangming, was also detained in Jian City Detention Center and was also very steadfast. It was learned that probably he will be illegally sentenced to jail. Policeman Huang Jihua from No. 1 Section of Jian City Public Security Bureau took him away from his home and he has been detained for several months. His wife is now being held in the Nanchang Female Labor Camp. His two 15-year-old and 10-year-old children have no one to take care of them.

12. [Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioner Xiao Suxia Is Abducted for Telling the Truth

Xiao Suxia, who lives in Dawangzhangzi Town, Lingyuan City is a 36-year-old woman with two children. The older child is 13 years old and the younger one is only 8 years old. After the July 20 incidence, the Dawangzhangzi Police, knowing that Xiao practiced Falun Gong, came to her house to harass her many times. They asked her whether she would continue to practice Falun Gong. If she said yes, they would arrest her. On May 12, 2001 at 8pm, police came to her house to ask the same question again. Xiao thought that Dafa had given her a healthy body and benefited her whole family, so she should not tell lies again. She answered "yes." Just for this truthful word, the police sent her to the detention center and have not released her as of now.

16. [Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] Police in Daqing Labor Camp Sadistically Torture Dafa Practitioner Du Guocong

Dafa practitioner Du Guocong took part in a collective hunger strike of Falun Gong practitioners in Daqing Labor Camp, which attempted to attract the attention of the superior authorities in the hopes they could solve the problem of the labor camp extending jail terms at will. As a result, the authorities of Procurator and Judicial Bureau came to the labor camp and held an investigation. Later, several practitioners who had been detained over-term were released unconditionally.

During that investigation, Du Guocong disclosed the phenomenon of police beating and abusing prisoners to the superior officials; therefore he was transferred to Team Three. Here Du came across the vicious policeman, Wang Yingzhou again, whom he had known before. Wang cruelly beat Falun Gong practitioners and his wicked behavior was exposed on the Internet. Therefore he had hatred towards Du.

After Du arrived at Team Three he requested to see the directors of the jail to discuss the problems. His request was refused; therefore he started a hunger strike. On August 1, in the meeting room, Wang Yingzhou bound Du with a string, force-fed him with salt water and stepped on his chest forcefully. Wang poked a wooden baton into Du's mouth, causing both cheeks to become festered and swollen. Wang pulled Du's arms forcefully, ordering him to kneel down and forbidding him from sitting on a chair. Wang and other policemen tortured Du for a whole day. As his whole body was covered with mud, they told Du to wash himself clean and come back so they could continue to torture him. They did not let Du to go back to his cell until 9pm. At that time, policemen Qu Xiting, Song Wenyan, Wang Yingzhou and Zhu Xuexiang took part in the direction; Zhang Jingsheng looked on. They asked five to six criminals to help. Criminals who took part in the torture included Wang Yongbo and Jia Hongjiang; criminals who looked on included Mao Wenchen and Song Xiaodong, etc. Du Guocong was transferred back to Team One on August 7 2001.

17. [Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province] The Criminal Heads of the Nanzan Police Station

Zhang Yu, is the director of the Nanzan Police Station, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. He sadistically tortured Dafa practitioners. He abducted Dafa practitioners, took them to the police station and detained them for many days. He forbade practitioners from clarifying the truth, gave practitioners shocks using electric batons. On November 23, 2000 when it was extremely cold, he forced a practitioner to stand outdoors with only a single shirt on and cursed her viciously, "If you were a man, I would let you stand there with only your underwear."

In order to seek rewards from his superiors, Zhang Yu's persecution against

Dafa practitioners kept escalating. He ordered his subordinates to track Dafa practitioners and arrest them willfully no matter whether they were on the street, at home or at work, without presenting any arrest certificate. They abducted Dafa practitioners and took them to the police station for brainwashing, and forced them to write guarantee letters not to practice Falun Dafa. If practitioners did not obey they would be sent to labor camps. One practitioner has been sent to the detention center a total of four times by Zhang Yu. Even after this practitioner was released, Zhang still kept harassing him. As a result this practitioner wanders about homeless.

Zhang Yu's telephone: 86-313-8867229

Wang Yun, is the Party Secretary of Nanzan Agency in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. He took advantage of the power of his position when doing "transformation" work toward Dafa practitioners. He adopted extremely base and inhuman means to sadistically curse Dafa practitioners and forbid them from sleeping. He also forced practitioners to stand outdoors for a whole night and clamored, "I will fix whomever I want." He dispatched his subordinates to live in a practitioner's house, just to monitor him 24 hours a day in turn. They stayed with this practitioner all day long; even when he went to the washroom they followed him, making this practitioner and his family unable to live and work normally and have no peace of mind. It also gave the office staff a hard time.
