[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] 80-Day Hunger Strike of Dafa Practitioner Mr. Chang Hong During Unconstitutional Detention--His Life is in Extreme Danger

Dafa practitioner Mr. Chang Hong refused to write the three statements [These statements declare that practitioners are sorry they ever practiced Falun Dafa, are guaranteeing never to go to Beijing to appeal for Dafa, will not associate with other Dafa practitioners and will give up their faith in Dafa] and has been determined to continue to cultivate Dafa since he was arrested. Till now, he has been on a hunger strike for 80 days in order to protest the unconstitutional detention. His stomach and intestine has been stuck together. He is presently at Harbin City Medical University for emergency medical treatment. Please pay close attention to this issue.

As far as I can remember, Mr. Chang Hong is six feet in height. He is very honest and kind, with few words. Before July 22, 1999, he got up to do the exercises at 3 a.m. every morning, no matter, rain or shine. He diligently cultivates himself. He is a steadfast Dafa practitioner.

[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Dafa Practitioners Have been on a Lengthy Protest Hunger Strike in the Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp

About 70 Dafa practitioners are unconstitutionally detained in Harbin City's Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp. As a result of the long-term persecution, most of them have suffered from scabies. Dozens of practitioners have to stay in bed and cannot take care of themselves. They are in extreme pain. Abusive policemen still brutally persecute practitioners. In early March, four practitioners were forcibly put into solitary confinement cells for additional persecution. In order to protest the vicious persecution and unconstitutional detention, Mr. Chang Hong, Mr. Yu Naiping and other practitioners have been on a hunger strike for a long time. Their lives are in extreme danger. They were sent to Harbin City's No.2 Hospital for emergency medical treatment. The vicious policemen handcuffed them to the beds and force-fed them, though they could not eat and were in a coma. During the night, dozens of policemen were dispatched to watch the practitioners.

One day, director Chi Changjing led policemen to drive practitioners' visiting relatives out of the wards. They pushed several extremely emaciated practitioners onto the bed to give them injections. They videotaped all this "treatment" and then forced the family members to cooperate with them for producing a video recording. They attempted to fake the image of their humanitarianism and their initiative in providing treatment for practitioners in order to cover up their crimes. Some family members rejected the requests. As a result, they were deprived of their rights to look after and visit these practitioners.

At present, the persecution and the hunger strike protests are continuing.

[Ningxia Province] About 40 Dafa Practitioners were Arrested before the Spring Festival

It has been confirmed that another approximately 40 practitioners, most of whom are from the capital of Ningxia Province, were arrested around the time of the Spring Festival. Except for a few of them who were released, the others were watched over by policemen to do hazardous and harmful work like tearing out Nylon strings from wasted rubber tires. Most of these practitioners were arrested at home after policemen had ransacked their homes. According to the practitioners being released, the detained practitioners only regretted that they had not done more Dafa truth-clarifying work when they were free!

Around the time of the Spring Festival, in line with the Chinese ruling dictator's vicious orders, officials from the related local departments carried out a nationwide action. It was heard from practitioners who knew the details that policemen entered the practitioners' homes and then arrested practitioners when they saw any Dafa truth-clarifying materials. They also used the false excuse of supposed information that practitioners in Ningxia Province planned to gather, which they heard from a web site. Thereby, practitioners have increased the times of sending righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil persecuting Dafa and Dafa practitioners.

[Weifang City, Shandong Province] Dafa Practitioners Mr. Zhang Daozhong and Mr. Dai Weisong Are Illegally Arrested and Sentenced to Forced Labor

Officers in the Beihai Street Police Station of Weifang City's Development District Police Department act as "pioneers" in persecuting Falun Gong. Around the Spring Festival they arrested lots of practitioners. Mr. Zhang Daozhong and Mr. Dai Weisong were arrested and sentenced to three years and one year of forced labor, respectively. They have been sent into the Changle Forced Labor Camp.

On December 27, 2001 in the Chinese lunar calendar, Dong Hongtao, director of the Beihai Police Precinct led a dozen policemen including Xiaoma to break into practitioner Dai Weisong's home when Mr. Dai Weisong and Mr. Zhang Daozhong were watching a videotape of Teacher's lectures. The policemen arrested Mr. Zhang and Mr. Dai without due process of law, and returned twice on the same night, breaking the doors and windows to ransack Mr. Dai's home. Without finding any evidence, the policemen illegally detained Mr. Zhang and Mr. Dai for a month and did not inform their families until January 15.

[Qingdao City, Shandong Province] Illegal Arrest of 15 Dafa Practitioners

In early March, fifteen practitioners held a Dafa conference at Sifang District. Due to the lack of security preparation, all of them were arrested. Their whereabouts are still unknown.

[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] List of Names of Vicious Thugs and Crimes at Harbin City's Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp

Shi Changjing: male, director of Harbin City's Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp

1. In order to force Dafa practitioners to give up cultivation, Shi Changjing soldered a steel bar on the iron door of the small cell, and hung practitioners up onto the steel bar with handcuffs. Practitioners who were locked up in the cell included Jin Xigui, Yan Jiguo, Bi Zhihai, Li Zhong and a dozen others. They were locked up from three days to fifteen days.
2. The small cell in Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp is only 1.5 meter tall [about 4.9 ft], 60-70 cm wide [about 2~2.3 ft]. Both hands are tightly handcuffed to the top part of the iron door, and he can neither stand nor squat. So he has to half squat 24 hours a day. After a while, his legs and spine were extremely painful. Because practitioners can't have enough rest and were kept in such painful position for a long time, many practitioners were tortured to the point of experiencing mental breakdown. The longer the torture, the more painful it becomes. Practitioners tortured for more than seven days would be on the verge of a mental breakdown. In the winter, the wind is extremely cold in the small cell with --30 X C. The snow is more than 3cm-thick on the ground. However, Shi Jingchang instigated the abusive policemen to force practitioners to take off their shoes and stand in the cell barefooted. Practitioners trembled 24 hours a day and their bodies below the waist were in extreme pain. In the summer, the small cell is cold and damp. Many practitioners' bodies were covered with scabies and pus. The clothes and flesh became stuck together, so practitioners can't take their clothes off. Their legs are too swollen to walk.
3. For those practitioners who did not give up practice, Shi Jingchang instigated policemen to shock them with electric batons and whip them with leather belts. He himself shocked practitioner Yan Shanzhu's face with an electric baton while he was in the small cell.
4. Shi Changjing publicly slandered and attacked Dafa many times. When practitioners protested Shi torturing practitioners for a long time in the small cell, he said shamelessly, "That's for your own safety."
5. Shi Changjing defamed the book Zhuan Falun while cursing Dafa and Teacher. He has already condemned himself to hell due to his actions of slandering Dafa.

Zhang Bo, female, head of No.12 Division of Harbin City's Wanjia Forced Labor Camp

1. Zhang Bo used collaborators [persons who at one time were practitioners but have turned toward the dark side] to forcibly brainwash Ning Shuxian and other practitioners around the clock with evil enlightenment.
2. She instigated policemen to tie practitioners onto the heating pipes so they could neither stand nor squat.
3. She ordered the wardens to lock up practitioners in small cells for a long-term torture.
4. Practitioners' bodies were covered with scabies and pus. In the labor camp hospital, because the practitioners refused to cooperate with the evil, Zhang Bo and also Song, the head of the hospital, brutally beat the practitioners and instigated police to torture them with "Riding an airplane" for as long as two and a half days [In this torture, the head is bent down until it cannot go down any further, while the hands are pulled up and held up to the highest point. The hips have to point up. One is forced to keep this position unchanged for a long time. The body in this position looks like the shape of an airplane, which is how this torture is named].

[Wuhan City, Hubei Province] The Persecution of Dafa Practitioners in the No.2 Division of Wuhan City's Hewan Forced Labor Camp

Dozens of Dafa practitioners are unconstitutionally detained at No.2 Division of Wuhan City's Hewan Forced Labor Camp. Practitioners are tortured in various ways and deprived of their basic rights. Because practitioner Yie Hao didn't say "here" during roll call, his freedom was restricted and he was not allowed to get in touch with other practitioners. Practitioner Zhao Hu was confined to solitary confinement right after he was sent in. He was not allowed to get in touch with anyone except six "information deliverers." Since January 28, practitioner Liu Huasong has been on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Practitioners in the No.5 and the No.7 sections are under long-term "strict restriction."

Li Jing, a warden in the No.1 Section used clown Gan Shengbo as his detective to incite conflicts between "information deliverers" and practitioners in order to limit practitioners' freedom. "Information deliverers" were asked to note down practitioners' behaviors everyday, which was their "homework." In addition, every "information deliverer" was required to sign a contract of following the practitioners right on their heels, no matter whether they were eating or using the restroom. If they didn't tightly monitor practitioners, they would be threatened with punishment, lesser detention term reduction or even extension of their detention term, which severely violates the rights of the practitioners and ordinary detainees alike. Li Jing also unreasonably asked the family members of the practitioners to slander Falun Gong and Teacher when they visit. If their actions did not meet with his requests, he won't allow them to visit.

Meals given to practitioners in "strict restriction" were not only tiny portions, but also cold. Sometimes wardens put the meal in a refrigerator to make it cold enough. Moreover, several thugs have beaten up almost every practitioner in strict restriction.

Facing all these injustices, when someone protests, policeman Chen Yong said, "There has been no such thing as "justice" ever since this labor camp was built." An assistant group head said, "There is no principle to follow here." How could these ill-mannered police "reeducate" people and do a good job? Can the law executors of the Country do whatever they want?

[Gansu Province] Comprehensive News from Gansu Province

During the Spring Festival, more than 80 banners reading, "Falun Dafa," appeared at a certain county in northwest China, which effectively suffocated the evil.

A teacher named Fang, a practitioner from Jishishan County/Gansu Province, was illegally sentenced to one year of forced labor.

Policemen from Linxia Canton, Yongjing County, Linxia County, and Linxia City of Gansu Province, often ransacked practitioners' houses. Policemen from Linxia County especially behaved exactly like bandits. Those practitioners and their family members whose houses have been ransacked: please expose and resist the evil! All people with a sense of justice: please pay attention to what happened there.

[Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province] Internment of Two Dafa Practitioners in the Tianhe District

At 4 o'clock [not sure whether it is 4 a.m. or 4 p.m.] on March 7, policemen from Tianhe District's Xinghua Street Police Precinct kidnapped Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Zheng Meiling and Ms. Liu Xiaojing from their work unit and home, respectively. These two practitioners were sent to the Chatou Detention Center of Guangzhou City. Ms. Zheng's child, only in the third grade, was left at home without care. As a result, the child had to transfer to another school. It was the second time that Dafa practitioner Ms. Liu Xiaojing was detained. The first time she was kidnapped and detained was from September 2001 to the Spring Festival of 2002.

[Hebei Province] Officials from the "610 Office" in a Certain City Persecute Dafa Practitioners by Levying Heavy Fines and Implicating Work Unit Leaders in Charge of Practitioners

Recently officials in a "610 Office" [An agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems] in a city of Hebei Province issued a document to each work unit. It was for mentally and economically persecuting those practitioners who continued to go to appeal in Beijing. Those who went to Beijing would be "fined" 40,000 Yuan [500 Yuan is the average monthly income in urban areas of China] while 20,000 Yuan of that money would be turned in to upper level government entities. Additionally, the leader of the work unit where the practitioner is employed would also be implicated.

[Dongguang County, Hebei Province] Policemen Squeeze 150,000 Yuan from Practitioners in Dongguang County, the Nation's Most Impoverished County

Policemen from Dongguang County/Heibei Province used any excuses to detain practitioners and then extort money from them. If practitioners wanted to go home, they must hand in money. Otherwise, they would be detained with unlimited terms. The money the policemen extorted was from several hundred Yuan to ten thousand Yuan [300 Yuan is the average monthly income in rural areas of China]. Besides extorting money, the policemen also received bribes. According to the rough statistics, they have already extorted 150,000 Yuan. They also broke into practitioners' homes to illegally take away valuable things such as an automobile, VCR and a tape recorder. Most of the wealth they stole was without following any legal procedures. Some practitioners' families only had unofficial "receipts."

Dongguang County is the nation's most impoverished county. Some practitioners had to borrow money to pay the heavy fines. In remote villages, even getting enough to eat is a problem. But these policemen still squeezed money out of the poor people and didn't care about their survival.

[Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] A List of Vile People in Shijiazhuang City's Finance Bureau

Among all the governmental departments in Shijiazhuang City, the Finance Bureau is the one where the largest numbers of practitioners are employed and it is also the department where Falun Gong practitioners were most severely persecuted. As there were many officials practicing Falun Gong before, the environment of the Finance Bureau was comparatively righteous. However, since the personnel started to persecute Falun Gong, the environment was deteriorating daily. The staff members are fighting against each other for fame and gain. Corruption, bribery and bilking are becoming more and more serious. After April 25, 1999, even before they received any orders from the higher authorities, the personnel had started to set up brainwashing classes for practitioners who went to Beijing to appeal and suspended the practitioners' jobs "for inspection." After July 20, 1999, they became even more relentless. They threatened and enticed practitioners. They detained practitioners over ten days in a hostel. Some practitioners were even detained nearly a month. They collaborated with the Political & Security Division of the Municipal Police Department and other police stations, successively. They sentenced one practitioner to a forced labor camp and deprived this person of his/her party membership. They expelled a practitioner from his work. They dismissed and demoted a practitioner from his post. They put one practitioner under "inspection" while suspending his party membership and dismissed and demoted him from his post. They unconstitutionally detained several practitioners many times. They even appointed specific people to monitor each practitioner. They harass practitioners whenever there is a holiday or a so-called "sensitive day." Former directors Li Tianyin and Wu Runlin slandered and defamed Falun Gong at all kinds of meetings numerous times. These two also organized all the employees to watch TV, exhibitions and performances that slandered Dafa. They handed out slandering materials and forced everybody to show their attitude and instigated a group of people to hate another group of people.

[Tieling City, Liaoning Province] Policeman Sun Lizhong and Others Arrest a 77-Year-Old Woman Practitioner and Extort a Large Sum of Money

1. Policeman Sun Lizhong from Yinzhou District's Political & Security Section has been following the Chinese ruling dictator to relentlessly search and arrest Falun Gong practitioners. He even didn't let go of a 77-year-old lady. In March 2002, he led a group of people to break into practitioner Ms. Guan's home in Yinzhou District. They ransacked her home and forcibly took her away, disregarding the fact that she is 77 years old. They brought her to the Police Department and extorted a large sum of money from her family members.
2. In February 2002, policeman Sun Lizhong unconstitutionally took 65-year-old practitioner, Ms. Li Yuqin, away without a valid reason and ransacked her home. Later, he extorted nearly 10,000 Yuan from her family members before he released the DaFa practitioner.
3. On March 12, 2002, policeman Sun Lizhong and some other ruffians forcibly broke into Falun Dafa practitioner Wu Yuping's home and took a couple of people away, including an old lady who was visiting the couple. The practitioner's 15-year-old child is left at home alone. The ruffians left the door open after they ransacked the home. Seeing the scene, the neighbor of the practitioner thought some robbers had just visited.
4. By the end of the year 2001, policeman named Sun Lizhong duped practitioner Mr. Zhang Wencheng into the Police Department and then extorted 3,000 Yuan from his family members before he released the practitioner. In February 2002, they arrested Mr. Zhang Wencheng on the street without due cause and sentenced him to three years of forced labor. Mr. Zhang has now been sent to Tieling City's Forced Labor Camp.
5. On October 20, 1999, practitioner Ms. Hu Ying was sentenced to one year of forced labor for going to Beijing to appeal five times. As she refused to give up cultivation of Falun Dafa, her term was extended by one more year in the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. In the end, she was released on October 19, 2001. On January 20, 2002, the ruffian policemen again arrested Ms. Hu and also her husband Lu Guihai. They used excruciating methods to extort confession from them. Mr. Lu Guihai was tortured to the point of a mental breakdown. Even under these circumstances they had the nerve to extort 5,000 Yuan from the practitioner's family members. As Ms. Hu refused to cooperate, the policemen kicked and punched her.

[Sanshui City, Guangdong Province] Guards at Sanshui Labor Camp Adopt Vicious Means and Use Collaborators to Aggravate the Persecution

At the Sanshui Labor Camp, the persecution methods adopted by guards are extremely vicious. They apply excruciatingly painful methods on those practitioners who refused to give up cultivation. From time to time practitioners are beaten, cursed, and punished. They are made to squat or be exposed to the sun for a long time. Sometimes they even used nine electric batons to shock one practitioner at the same time till the batteries run out. They persecuted female practitioners by stripping off their clothes and hanging them up on a basketball support where everybody in the labor camp can see them. Some were hung several days consecutively. Some were dragged into a toilet after their clothes were striped off, and then the evil policemen ordered drug addicts to beat practitioners' private part with sticks until practitioners were covered with bruises. Some were dragged on the ground. The scars on practitioners' bodies can still be seen. Witnessing that those vicious means couldn't make practitioners give up their cultivation, they started to confuse practitioners with some hypocritical means, which did cheat some practitioners. They also asked collaborators to persecute Dafa practitioners.

Among these collaborators who were at one time practitioners but had gone over to the dark side are: Li Yan, Wang Yulan, Fu Xiuyun, Liu Qian, Li Xuesong, Lin Kai, Wang Yuhong, Wang Qing, Zhang Haiqing, Wei Lingli, Guan Zhonghua, Lin Zhonghuan, Ouyang Lini, Zhang Ke, Liu Heng. These people and some others are backbones in persecuting Dafa. They behaved even more viciously than the policemen. They tried both soft and hard tactics and carefully schemed many conspiracies. They dealt with determined practitioners one by one and kept indoctrinating them with evil enlightenment and attempted to take advantage of practitioners' "gaps." They used the so-called "reverse enlightenment," human sentimentality and attachments to comfort and destroy the determination of Dafa practitioners. They also assaulted practitioners according to their attachments and cheated practitioners by means of threatening and spreading rumors. They besieged and isolated practitioners for a long time, forbidding practitioners to speak and even following practitioners to the toilet. Under this huge mental pressure, some practitioners suffered from mental collapse, some can't recognize people and some lost control of their bowels and bladders.

At present, some of these collaborators have been released and are still doing things to damage Data. They are indoctrinating practitioners, who haven't practiced for a long time, with evil enlightenment. We hope fellow practitioners will be alert and send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil forces behind these collaborators.
