1. [Hefei City, Anhui Province] Nursing Mother Taken Away from Her Baby to Brainwashing Class
Xie Hong is an employee of the Sipailou Branch of Hefei Construction Bank. She has been persecuted many times for practicing Falun Dafa. In April 2001, during her nursing period, Xie Hong was deceived into going to her workplace and then taken to the brainwashing class. Because she remains steadfast in her belief of Falun Dafa, Xie is still being detained. Meanwhile, the baby has been deprived of his mother. Xie Hong has started a hunger strike in protest. During this "golden period for human rights in China," even the most basic rights of women and children are not being protected.
2. [Xinjiang Province] Dafa Practitioners Send Out Righteous Thoughts Together to Eliminate the Evil
Under Luo Gan's direct orders, the local officials have escalated their persecution of Dafa. A great number of Dafa practitioners have been detained or sent to labor camps, causing severe damage to Dafa work and making it harder for people in Xinjiang to know the truth about Dafa. At the same time, officials in Xinjiang have intensified the persecution of Dafa practitioners in labor camps and detention centers, using every method to force them to give up their faith in "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." News of severe torture continues to leak out. There have been reports of practitioners having their windpipes cut open for force-feeding while on hunger strike. Many have been subjected to electric shocks and severe beatings, causing serious injury. Aside from the physical torture, practitioners have been forced to attend brainwashing classes.
As Dafa practitioners, we cannot allow any persecution of Dafa. Therefore, practitioners in Xinjiang decided to send out righteous thoughts together twice each day, starting on August 9, to eliminate all the evil elements that are damaging Dafa in the Three Realms and in Xinjiang.
3. [Shanxi Province] Teacher's New Articles Broadcast Over the Labor Camps
The labor camps in Shanxi Province have committed many crimes in the persecution of Dafa practitioners. In order to suffocate the evil, Dafa practitioners in Taiyuan City placed some speakers over the men's labor camp and the women's labor camp of the city on August 5. At 4:00 a.m., they started broadcasting Teacher's new articles, from "Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts Are Powerful" to "The Effect of Righteous Thoughts." Dafa practitioners who had been cut off from the outside world were thus able to listen to Teachers' new articles. They were greatly encouraged, and the camp officials were shocked. On the pole where the speakers were fixed, Dafa practitioners painted "Anyone who takes this down will receive retribution." This message was very effective, and practitioners retrieved the speakers four days later.
From this event, practitioners were enlightened that as long as we are steadfast in Dafa and follow the process of Fa-rectification, the evil is nothing in the face of the powerful righteous thoughts of Dafa practitioners.
4. [Sichuan Province] A Common Yet Remarkable Story of Safeguarding the Fa
One morning in August of 2001, Ajing got on a bus headed for a town in Sichuan Province. She saw the kind-hearted people on the bus, and benevolence welled up in her heart. She took out Dafa flyers and calmly told the driver that she wanted to get off the bus. When the bus stopped, she said to the passengers, "Sorry to delay you for a few minutes. I have some materials to give you, and I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart." Ajing distributed the flyers with tears in her eyes and said, "These are Falun Dafa flyers with stories written by countless people with their blood and lives. Please take them and read them carefully. After you read them, give them to your relatives and friends. Because to realize that Falun Dafa is good will bring hope to your life." People in the bus were excited. In the powerful field of great benevolence, many people said, "Give me one. Give me one." Ajing gave out all the flyers and got off the bus. As she turned around, those kind-hearted people saved by Dafa waved good-bye and watched her go on her way.
5. [China] Sending out Righteous Thoughts to Escape
Four practitioners living in the city went to the countryside to post Dafa flyers and were discovered by the police. One practitioner was able to quickly get away. A female practitioner left her bicycle behind and escaped on foot. The police chased after her on a bicycle but could not catch her. She hid in a cornfield and sent out righteous thoughts for other practitioners to get home safely. An hour later, she wanted to go home but did not know the way. Just then, a beautiful yellow butterfly appeared, and she safely followed it home.
The other two practitioners were taken to the police station and beaten up, but they refused to give their names to the police. After using the bathroom, one practitioner climbed over two walls and escaped. The other practitioner failed to climb over the second wall. She went to the entrance and saw several policemen there. She hid and sent out righteous thoughts, and then she walked out of the gate right in front of them. A taxi came over, so she took it and went home. Once again the great Fa of the cosmos revealed its power.
6. [Jingjing County, Hebei Province] Twenty-four Practitioners Detained, Eleven Missing
Since the Chinese Lunar New Year, the local police have gone out to search two or three homes every night, looking for Dafa practitioners, greatly disturbing the local residents.
Nineteen local practitioners went to Tiananmen Square to clarify the truth in April. They were taken back and have been detained in the militia-training base in Biao Village. The police refused to allow anyone to visit them. There are a total of twenty-four practitioners being held at the base, where they are being brutally tortured. An unmarried young woman was beaten up so badly that she bled from below her waist. For two weeks, a male practitioner was crammed into a small iron cage, where he could not straighten his body the whole time. The militia-training base only provides two meals a day. Each meal is a glass of water and a steamed bun. Even under such severe persecution, not a single practitioner has given in. The police declared that eleven practitioners have been sentenced, but not even the families of the practitioners know who they are or where they have been sent.
A practitioner named Liu Changlin was able to escape.
7. [China] Cab Driver Distributes Flyers
One day in 2000, some practitioners went out to distribute flyers. On their way they told the cab driver about Falun Gong. He came to understand the truth and helped them to distribute the flyers to the passers-by for two or three hours. When the practitioners got off the cab, he took 20 Yuan less for the fare and thanked practitioners again and again for giving him the flyers. He said that if something had happened, the police would have confiscated his car for sure. He was fully aware of the risk and was willing to take it.

9. [China] Stories of Taotao
Taotao is a ten-year-old Dafa practitioner who went to Tiananmen Square with his parents to validate the Fa after Falun Gong was banned. When Jiang Zemin started the campaign of collecting "One Million Signatures," Taotao refused to sign. His classmates reported him to the teacher, and the teacher asked why he refused to sign. He shook his head and said nothing. The teacher felt helpless and left him alone. His parents had written letters renouncing Falun Gong, and the his father's boss asked Taotao, "Your parents have quit practicing. You are quitting, too. Right?" Taotao said decisively: "That's their decision. I am still practicing." When his parents were released, Taotao cried and said: "Don't be foolish. Come back to the right way. I am not going to stay with you at home. I will stay at my aunt's." Because of his steadfastness, his parents came to realize their attachments and wrote solemn statements. They have resumed their cultivation.
10. [Sichuan Province] Dafa Practitioners Are One Big Family
One day, a lady in her 50's visited her relatives in Sichuan Province. She learned that a local practitioner was being detained and tortured for distributing Falun Gong flyers. She went to see the practitioner's mother and told her a great deal about Falun Gong, so that she could understand why her son gave people flyers. When the female practitioner learned that there were still many flyers at the mother's home, she took these flyers and gave them out to people right away. Her relatives came to look for her at dinnertime, but she had already left after giving out all the flyers, so that others would not be implicated.

12. [Hebei Province] A Quote from a Policeman
A practitioner handed a Dafa flyer to a local resident and was reported to the police. As a result, he was sent to the county detention center.
After a five-day hunger strike, this practitioner was released. When he came back, a police officer warned him, "You have to know whom you are dealing with when you try to save people. You can see that he (the person who turned him in) looks like a four-legged creature. How could you possibly save him?"
13. [Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province] Local Public Security Office Collaborates with TV Station to Slander Dafa
One day, the Wanyuandian Police Sub-station of Lingyuan City dispatched a group of police officers to accompany reporters from a local TV station. They arrived at the home of an elderly Falun Gong practitioner. They asked the old lady to read a speech they had prepared for her, so that they could shoot the footage and use it to slander Dafa.
At that time, the husband of another Falun Gong practitioner was present. The police said to him, "You can also say a few words. You can say that your wife took the demonic path by practicing Falun gong and became crazy." The husband immediately replied, "It is you who is crazy. My wife is very normal. What you are doing is all fake."
14. [Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province] Hypocrisy Does Not Cover Up Wickedness
The local government has established a team for brainwashing classes, which includes leaders, supervisors and staff members who would stay, eat and "study" with the practitioners. They selected staff members from different groups including local propaganda teams, the Judiciary Department, the Civil Affairs Department, labor camps, and universities. Two brainwashing classes have been completed so far, and a third session is underway. They tried to shake the righteous thoughts of practitioners with things like "four dishes and one soup for each meal, accommodation of luxury hotels and a lot of caring." They adopted the system of "several staff members dedicated to helping one practitioner" and urged the employers and relatives to get involved, hoping to distance practitioners from Dafa by taking advantage of their attachment to sentiments. This thinly veiled way of brainwashing practitioners has been confirmed as a model and will be spread to the rest of the province.
15. [Hefei City, Anhui Province] Intermediate Criminal Court Judge Kidnapped
Li Mei was a judge of the Heifei Intermediate Criminal Court, known for being fair and righteous. Over her legal career of more than twenty years, Li has accomplished a great deal. Li is a genuine practitioner who firmly believes in Dafa. She has been arrested numerous times, but her belief in Dafa never wavered.
Around 5 PM on July 11, 2001, Li Mei arrived at her home. While she was opening the door, three or four people jumped out, threw her into a white van without license plates and sped away. These people were unidentified and not wearing uniforms.
The van ended up at Luosigang Detention Center. There was no acknowledgement for the arrest, and no notification was issued for the detention. These people were actually police officers.
16. [Jining City, Shandong Province] Local Police Slander Dafa
A person from Jining City once practiced Falun Gong, but he stopped practicing in 1998. This is a fact known to all of his neighbors. In 1999, this person died of cancer. In an attempt to slander Dafa, the police went to his son and tried to coerce him into slandering Dafa. His son refused, but the deceased's wife went along with the police. We hereby urge people to tell right from wrong and not engage in things that are against their conscience.
17. [Yantai City, Shandong Province] Zhihuan District Officials Persecute Dafa Practitioners
Yu Shujian, the First Section Chief of the Zhifu Public Security Bureau, is the leader in persecuting Dafa practitioners. He knows that Dafa practitioners are good people but still chooses to go against Dafa. With his direct involvement, since July 20, 1999, dozens of practitioners have been sent to labor camps, and many have been forced to live in exile. Practitioner Liu Qiuhong (as reported by Clearwisdom) was rejected by a labor camp for not meeting the physical requirements. The camp asked Yu to take Liu back, but he refused. After repeated urgings from the labor camp, Yu had to pick Liu up. On their way back, Yu told Liu, "As long as you have one breath left, I will not let you go home."
We hereby solemnly warn Yu Shujian and all other police officers who have been involved in the persecution of Dafa practitioners: if you don't realize the error of your ways and change your behavior, you will be punished in due time.

20. [China] Believers of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" Not Allowed to Enter Shenzhen
It has been heard recently that people planning to go to Shenzhen Special Economic Zone must sign a document saying that they are not Falun Gong practitioners. Otherwise, they will not be able to get their border pass. This is just another form of forcing people to give their signatures against Falun Gong.
