[Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province] Authorities Unlawfully Sentence Dafa Practitioners to Long Term Imprisonment

At the end of 2001, Liaoyang City's authorities secretly sentenced Dafa practitioners Mr. Li Mingyuan, Ms. Wang Yinping and Mr. Yu Fei to 11, 9 and 9 years of imprisonment, respectively.

Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Xiuwen was arrested at a truth-clarifying materials site in Tongerbao in Liaoyang City and later sent to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.

[Kaifeng City, Henan Province] Police Thoroughly Search City and Mass Arrest Dafa Practitioners

On the evening of September 26, 2002, policemen from every police station in Kaifeng City were dispatched to arrest Dafa practitioners, resulting in many arrests. It was said that Jiang's regime is using the 16th National Congress as an excuse to rampantly arrest Dafa practitioners. In order to prevent local practitioners from going to Beijing to appeal, Kaifeng City's Police Department arrested and detained many of the practitioners on their list and carried out extensive brainwashing. Each district is holding a 10-day brainwashing class.

According to policemen from Kaifeng City's Police Department, the higher authorities have reiterated the policy of implication. If even one Dafa practitioner goes to Beijing to appeal during the National Day Holiday, the first person in command such as the mayors, district directors and directors of police station could all be fired. Some Dafa practitioners' homes are under surveillance 24 hours a day, and lawless policemen even monitor and harass their relatives' and friends' homes. Some practitioners have been forced to leave home and live in exile.

On September 26, 2002, three Dafa practitioners including Deng Jieshi were arrested and taken away by police while they were studying. They are now detained at Kaifeng City's Detention Center. Deng Jieshi's elderly parents are now left at home without care.

[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Police from the Daowai Police Station Arrest Dafa Practitioner Du Jinglan

Dafa practitioner Ms. Du Jinglan is around 50 years old and lives in Daowai District, Harbin City. In the middle of September 2002, a group of lawless policemen from the Daowai Police Station forcibly ransacked her and her mother-in-law's homes, and confiscated some materials and their telephone directories. At present, police are ransacking practitioners' homes according to these directories.

[Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province] Reporter Attempts to Slander Falun Gong with a Suicide Story

A young man from Northern China worked in Shenzhen and committed suicide by taking poison after a fight. His father was informed to handle his funeral affairs. As soon as the father arrived in Shenzhen, a reporter found him and said, "I will immediately pay you 5000 Yuan [500 Yuan is the monthly average income in urban areas of China] if you say your son was a Falun Gong practitioner." The father sternly refused right away, "Isn't this villainous? My son has never practiced Falun Gong. How can I say he practiced Falun Gong? I will not slander Falun Gong and do such bad things like that!" The reporter left hastily after being rejected.

[Tieling City, Liaoning Province] Police in Tieling City's Forced Labor Camp Torture Dafa Practitioners Using Excruciating Means

In March 2002, four policemen from Tieling City's Forced Labor Camp, Wang Zhibin, Wang Jianhua, Chen Zhanyuan and Li Bing, tried to force Dafa practitioners to read Dafa-slandering materials and give up their cultivation. When the practitioners refused their demand, the policemen inhumanly tortured the practitioners with electric and police batons, seriously injuring them. The details are as follows:

Mr. Wei Guojun, 35 years old, was handcuffed to a stool and then punched and kicked. The police shocked his head with two electric batons simultaneously for more than 1.5 hours continuously, causing him to lose consciousness. When he woke up, he was covered with bruises all over. His arms were swollen and blue due to the tight handcuffs.

Mr. Yang Guizhi, 43 years old. The police tried to force him to give in by shocking his head with an electric baton. The police even threatened to shock him once every day if he refused to be "transformed."

Mr. Zhai Mingjun, 40 years old. Police shocked him with electric and police batons continuously for 1.5 hours. His back was covered with bruises. The police even threatened that this would happen to him very often if he refused to be "transformed."

Mr. Guan Yunzhi, 25 years old, is a university graduate. The police beat him severely twice with police batons, and the beatings each time lasted one to two hours.

[Tieling City, Liaoning Province] Four Practitioners Step Out of Forced Labor Camp with Righteous Thoughts

On the evening of September 26, 2002, four practitioners detained at Tieling City's Forced Labor Camp got out of jail through an iron window with righteous thoughts and safely left the labor camp. They denied the arrangements of the old forces and went back into the mighty current of Fa-rectification.

[Anshan City, Liaoning Province] Arrest of Six Practitioners at the Hands of Policemen from the Liberation Street Police Precinct

On the afternoon of August 13, 2002, the police arrested six practitioners. They included Ms. Shan Yuhuan and her daughter Ren Xiaohan, along with practitioner Mr. Zhang Xingwei and three other practitioners. During the arrest, police led by Wang Taiquan, the chief officer of Anshan City's Liberation Street Police Precinct confiscated equipment worth about 10,000 yuan, a motorcycle and a lot of cash. After being detained at Anshan City's No. 3 Detention Center for half a month, practitioners were then transferred to Anshan City's No. 1 Detention Center because they refused give up their practice of Falun Gong.

[Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Practitioner Song Caihong is Transferred to Shenyang City's Detention Center after 3 Years' Imprisonment at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp

Dafa practitioner Ms. Song Caihong, over 30, was illegally detained at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp for three years. One month prior to the completion of her detention, she was transferred to Shenyang City's Detention Center due to her determination in Dafa. Song spoke up loudly in her cell, stating that she was innocent and requested her unconditional release. However, as punishment for her request, guards dragged her to a bathroom and forced her to sit on the "Tiger bench" [see illustration at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2001/11/24/16156.html] for almost two days. Song's ankle was black and blue due to the torture. Afterwards, she was put into shackles.

[Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Brutal Torture of Practitioners in Shenyang City's Detention Center

A month ago, guard Xu Haiying (female, about 30) tortured several practitioners in the Shenyang City Detention Center because practitioners refused to wear prison clothes. Practitioners were handcuffed with their hands behind their backs for over a week as punishment.

Practitioner Ms. Zhang Junsheng, over 50, was illegally sentenced to 3 years of imprisonment. She has been detained at Shenyang City's Detention Center for a year and a half. Policemen in Tiexi District's Police Precinct of Shenyang City beat her. Ms. Zhang was detained after police found her phone number in another detained practitioner's phone book.

[Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Arrest of Practitioners Jing Tian, Jing Cai and Jing Yu

On March 8, practitioner Ms. Jing Tian, around 30, along with her sister Ms. Jing Cai, around 30 and brother Mr. Jing Yu, less than 30, were again arrested. Policemen followed Mr. Jing Yu when he went out. They followed him to his residence and arrested all three family members there. Police also ransacked their house. As he was determined in practicing Dafa, Jing Yu was brutally beaten last year, which caused his lung condition to be aggravated. Now he coughs day and night, and he is emaciated. But vicious officers still attempt to illegally sentence them.

We hope overseas practitioners would call for help from the international community to stop this inhumane persecution against Falun Gong practitioners. Let us help rescue those kind-hearted practitioners out of this dark den.

[Xiangtan County, Hunan Province] Policemen Ignore the Law to Persecute Practitioners

Zhang, an instructor of Xiangtan County's Police Department Zuo, Team Leader Tang, the chief of Political and Security Section, and policeman Liu are acting as hatchet men to persecute Dafa. They torture Dafa practitioners using the following vicious methods:

They beat and kick Dafa practitioners to the ground, handcuff them behind the back and stomp on the handcuffs. The handcuffs are so tight that they cut into the Dafa practitioners' hands. However, they even twist Dafa practitioners' hands in the handcuffs. They hang up Dafa practitioners with ropes, leaving their feet above the ground. They handcuff Dafa practitioners at the back and then force them to kneel down on the ground for as long as four hours. If Dafa practitioners couldn't keep their backs straight, vicious policemen would beat the practitioners and tighten the handcuffs. They have persecuted many Dafa practitioners with such forms of excruciating torture.

[Xiangxiang City, Hunan Province] Criminal Deeds of He Guoping

He Guoping, the associate director of Xiangxiang City's "610 Office," often beat and kicked Dafa practitioners, and even burnt Dafa practitioners' mouths and private parts with a lighter. He also brought in Teacher's picture and then used nasty words to defame Dafa. (The 610 Office is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political or judicial systems.)

[Genhe City, Inner Mongolia AR] Ms. Guan Suli, Ms. Zhang Changying, Ms. Li Xiufang, Ms. Fan Guizhi and Two Other Dafa Practitioners from Derbuerqi Are Arrested

[Yintong County, Jilin Province] County Authorities Plot to Detain Dafa Practitioners in a Brainwashing Class

According to inside sources at Yintong County, Jinlin Province, Yintong County's authorities intended to hold a brainwashing class after National Day, after they had failed to do so several times due to Dafa practitioners' powerful righteous thoughts. Lawless officials also attempted to trick Dafa practitioners who work at other places or live in exile into staying at home so that they could easily arrest practitioners.

[Northeast China] Dafa Practitioners Hold an Experience-Sharing Meeting

At about 6:00 p.m. on August 29, Dafa practitioners held an experience-sharing meeting in a mini bus. First, they sent forth righteous thoughts, and then they studied Teacher's recent articles and shared their experiences with each other.

The meeting took place in a serene atmosphere and was filled with warm discussion. Through this meeting, Dafa practitioners were more aware of the current situation of Fa-rectification. They decided to make use of all possible opportunities to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to the public, expose the lies used by the evil to defame Dafa, save those people deceived by lies, and welcome the coming of Fa-rectification in the human world.

[Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province] The Evildoings of Former Falun Gong Practitioners Who Have Turned Against Dafa

Lin Jing, an employee of Zhanjiang City's Nanyou Company of Guangdong Province, graduated from the Political and Judicial Department of Central China Normal University in Wuhan City in 1991. He was illegally detained and persecuted at Guangdong Province's Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. After half a year's persecution, he turned against "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and became a right hand of the local "610 Office." He has participated in persecuting Dafa practitioners many times since the end of 2000.

Yang Pinghua, an employee of Zhanjiang City's Nanyoutepu Company of Guangdong Province, was a graduate student. After July 1999, he turned against "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" under the persuasion of collaborators when he was detained at Guangdong Province's Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. Now he actively participates in persecuting Dafa practitioners.
