[Shanxi Province] Brutal Torture and Grave Danger for the Recaptured Falun Dafa Practitioners That Escaped From the Shanxi Female Forced Labor Camp
Altogether, over 100 Falun Dafa practitioners have been detained at the Shanxi Female Forced Labor Camp, where they suffer extreme torture. Forced to work over 15 hours a day, they cannot speak or move around freely. Two or three prisoners are assigned to watch over each practitioner. Practitioners may be beaten at any time. Some of them have been detained in isolation for several months.
Falun Dafa practitioners are often persecuted for studying and safeguarding the Fa. On July 21, 2001, led by the director and political instructor of the labor camp, several male police guards and several dozens of prisoners with electric prods dashed towards 28 Falun Dafa practitioners, including several elderly women. After being shocked on their heads and all over their bodies with the electric prods, beaten and kicked, the women were handcuffed and detained separately. Falun Dafa practitioner Li Cuifang's (female, over 50 years old) hands were cuffed behind her back for nine days. Ma Wenjing (female, over 60 years old) was handcuffed for over 20 days, with her hands cuffed behind the back for seven days. Zhao Jiabi (female, over 60 years old) suffered from horrible beatings simply because she refused to listen to speeches defaming Falun Dafa. She was forced to stand from morning until night and her feet became swollen as a result. When Liu Yuwen (female, over 60 years old) refused to cooperate with the guards while they verbally abused her, they flew into a rage and publicly beat her. Afterwards she was handcuffed next to the air vent for a whole day. Falun Dafa practitioners are subject to such inhuman tortures every day in the labor camp.
Falun Dafa practitioner Ma Yunhua (female, 53 years old), He Guilan (female) and Zhang Yuxian (female) escaped from the labor camp on August 1, 2001 by sending forth righteous thoughts together. After surviving over a month of being homeless, they were illegally captured again and returned to the labor camp. A meeting was called for everyone in the labor camp to see the women being punished. The three practitioners' hands were tied behind their backs with a rope that was looped round their necks. Then their heads were pressed down, and their legs were kicked. They were dragged around by their hair and pushed back and forth. Their faces were beaten until swollen and bruised. The practitioners' shoes were beaten off, and their feet bled freely. However, the practitioners remained fearless and shouted loudly, "We are not guilty. Falun Dafa is good!" Later, they were detained in isolation, where they were interrogated and beaten almost every day. They went on a hunger strike to protest the inhumane persecution, and the policemen force-fed them high-concentration salt water until they vomited repeatedly. Their lives are presently in great danger.
Falun Dafa practitioner Pu Jianghong is suffering brutal torture and in great peril because she didn't cooperate with the evil.
We urgently appeal to people of goodwill all over the world to denounce and stop such evils in the Shanxi Female Forced Labor Camp.

[Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province] Police in Wei County of Zhangjiakou City Employ Inhuman Means of Torture
Falun Dafa practitioner Zhang Shunjie, male, is 35 years old. At around 2:00 a.m. on February 26, 2002, policemen from the police substations in Xiheying Town and Weizhou Town banged on the side door of Zhang's home, claiming that they needed to check their residence permit. Zhang clearly saw their intention and refused to open the door. The policemen climbed over the yard, broke into the house and arrested Zhang. It was later discovered that the arrest was made because of a Spring Festival Couplet with 'Fa-rectification' displayed on his door. He faced inhuman tortures right away that morning.
Aside from kicking and beating him, the torture included pouring boiling water over his head, burning him with red stove hooks and cigarette butts, and shocking him with electric prods. When he lost consciousness, the policemen woke him up by pouring cold water on his body. He was tortured this way for three days and nights until the vicious thugs from Xihe Village, Xiheying Town, the Public Security Bureau in Wei County, and the criminal police team were exhausted and Zhang was at his last gasp, with symptoms of a serious heart attack and pulmonary emphysema. Witnesses revealed that Zhang was bruised all over his body. His ears, head and hands were totally misshapen, with burns all over. Clumps of his hair fell out, and he lost all movement in his lower body, but the police still would not release him. They sent him to the detention center in Wei County.
One of the thugs is named Ma, nicknamed Horse Head.
[Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province] The Detained Falun Dafa Practitioners on Hunger Strike Protesting Against the Persecution
Before the Chinese Lunar New Year, over ten Falun Dafa practitioners from Shenzhen were captured while holding a Fa conference. Among them is Hu Jing, who after 15 days of hunger strike was sent to a hospital and forced-fed. All the medical expenses were imposed on her family members. Currently Hu Jing is on her second hunger strike.
Another Falun Dafa practitioner whose family name is Ma became extremely weak during his hunger strike. With strong requests from his family members, who were extorted for large sums of money, he was released on bail. The practitioner actively joined in the stream of Fa-rectification after being released. Faced with capture by the policemen, he was forced to jump off a building and suffered broken bones. The present situation of other practitioners is unknown.
[Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Persecuted in Brainwashing Classes During the International Financial Ministers Conference
In September 2001, the International Financial Ministers Conference was held in Suzhou City. When one of the financial ministers from Canada asked to meet with Falun Dafa practitioners in Suzhou City, the Chinese authorities answered, "There are none." Actually, the police stations and "610 Office" in Suzhou City had already captured many Falun Dafa practitioners and sent them to brainwashing classes.
In the brainwashing classes, the authorities violated the Constitution, forcing Falun Dafa practitioners to give up their belief and cultivation practice. Otherwise, the practitioners would be secretly sentenced to jail. Those who went to Beijing to appeal or clarify the truth of Falun Dafa have been sentenced to 7 to 9 years in jail without any legal procedures.
A Falun Dafa practitioner whose family name is Zhao was captured while distributing Falun Dafa truth clarification materials. Due to severe torture, he has lost all movement in his lower body. His family members were not allowed to visit for over a year, and his present situation is unknown.
[Anguo City, Hebei Province] Report of Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners
From July 1999 to February 2002, the Police Department of Anguo City unjustly arrested several dozens of Falun Dafa practitioners, including officers in the municipal People's Congress and 14-year-old middle school students. Falun Dafa practitioners have been brutally tortured. The police deprived practitioners of sleep and force-fed those who were on hunger strikes with huge amounts of high-concentration salt water. At present ten practitioners have been sent to the forced labor camp, and eight have been forced from their homes. Unable to reunite with their families, these practitioners remain homeless. The police department in Anguo City also extorts large sums by fining practitioners. The police have illegally broken into civilian homes at night to conduct searches. Telephone tapping, surveillance, and tailing have all been used against practitioners, while families, relatives, and friends of Falun Dafa practitioners have been deceived and extorted. Even children have been threatened.
[Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province] Party Secretary of Hanchuan Machinery Factory Persecutes Falun Dafa Practitioners

[Jilin Province] Falun Dafa Day Celebrated on Mid-January Day of Lunar Calendar
January 15 on the Chinese lunar calendar [February 26, 2002] is Falun Dafa Day in a city in Jilin Province. People in both this and a neighboring city could see 10-meter long banners with other smaller ones in the celebration of Falun Dafa Day.
[Yaonan City, Jilin Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Li Xueying's Term Is Unjustly Extended Eight Month
Falun Dafa female practitioner Li Xueying is being unjustly held in Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City. She was locked in isolation, and recently she received an eight-month extension to her term.
Li Xueying had written to Yaonan municipal government and judiciary departments to spread the Fa and clarify the truth of Falun Gong. Making clear her determination in cultivating Falun Dafa, she signed her name on her letters, "I am a Falun Dafa practitioner -- Li Xueying."
In 2000, the police arrested her at home. She was held for over four months in a local detention center before being sent to Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp to serve a 1-year term. When leaving the detention center, she didn't even have shoes on her feet and had to borrow from someone else. In the labor camp she refused to cooperate with the evil, remaining an upright cultivator.
We know that there are over thirty Falun Dafa practitioners being wrongfully held in Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City, Jilin Province.
[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Guards and Inmate Fu Lina Viciously Beat Falun Dafa Practitioners in Wanjia Forced Labor Camp
Over a dozen out of forty Falun Gong students in the No. 12 Large Team who had been forced to give up their belief sent "Solemn Statements" to the large team and Clearwisdom.net around Chinese New Year's Day [February 12, 2002]. Most of the others who had given up practicing Falun Gong were no longer willing to participate in brainwashing jobs.
Recently the No. 7 Large Team grouped practitioners suffering from scabies into a class. Criminal inmate Fu Lina has been put in charge of the class. Fu frequently curses and beats practitioners. Recently when Fu Lina and labor camp guards saw practitioners in this class sending forth righteous thoughts, they used benches to hit practitioners who already suffered from scabies all over their bodies. Falun Dafa practitioner Xu Wei's leg was a bloody mess. On March 14, 2002, guards instigated Fu Lina to beat Falun Dafa practitioner Li Huiwen. Li's face was bruised and swollen. Leaders Wu Jinying and Qi of the No. 7 Large Team have committed further crimes, ordering criminal inmates to beat practitioners.
Recent Developments in the No. 7 Large Team
The police continuously send Falun Dafa practitioners to Wanjia Forced Labor Camp. On March 12, 2002, twelve practitioners were assigned to the No. 7 Large Team. To eliminate the evil, practitioners send forth righteous thoughts everyday. When policewoman Zhang Li saw this, she beat practitioners without constraint. She kicked practitioner Liu Guixiang's hand with her hard leather shoes and whipped her with wet towels. When practitioner Li Wenjun insisted on placing her palm vertically, Zhang Li grabbed Li's fingers to force them apart, nearly breaking the bones in her fingers. When practitioner Lu Shiping was sending forth righteous thoughts, Zhang Li pulled her hair, causing Lu to fall from the bed, striking her head on the ground. When Zhang Li is on duty, she continuously curses and beats practitioners. One day when practitioner Cui Xiuqin was sending forth righteous thoughts on the top bunk-bed, Zhang Li quietly raised a large water bottle and suddenly hit Cui on her back. As Cui Xiuqin continued to send forth righteous thoughts, Zhang Li pulled on her clothes until three buttons fell off. Cui Xiuqin almost fell down from the top bed.
When Cao Yuna and Cao Liandi were sending forth the righteous thoughts, Zhou Muqi struck them on their backs while cursing continuously. Jia Chunyan, Wang Enguang, Wu Bo, and Zhang Dianyun have also slandered Falun Dafa.
[Weifang City, Shandong Province] Escalation of Persecution of Falun Gong in Fangzi District Angers the Public
In October 2001, the Fangzi District Police Department carried out directions from the District Party Secretary Huang Weilian in Weifang City, Shandong Province to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. Two practitioners were sent to forced labor camps, and several others were detained and fined as much as hundreds of thousands of Yuan, with no formal receipts provided. [The average monthly salary of an urban worker is about 500 Yuan.] A single team leader in the police department, Wang Quanfeng, collected all the money. In Fangzi District, Falun Gong practitioners' work units and families have all been implicated. The public is enraged but doesn't dare voice their anger openly. Everyone is saying privately, "What kind of society is this? Good people are repressed, and bad people are above the law."
[Zibo City, Shandong Province] Zibo Mining Bureau Persecutes Falun Dafa Practitioners by Various Means

[Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners in Hubei Province, Please Stay Vigilant and Avoid the "Provincial Law Education Class"
Recently in Wuhan City, a "Provincial Law Education Class" was established, specializing in brainwashing Falun Dafa practitioners. They made use of the "reformed" people [note: these are former Falun Gong practitioners who were brainwashed by the authority and now are helping the evil to persecute Dafa] from Hubei Province's Shayang Labor Camp to brainwash other practitioners. The practitioners were deceitfully sent by their workplaces to the class under the guise of being "sent to study." A leader from each workplace accompanied every practitioner. They adopted the strategy of trying to wear down the practitioners. Every day there were over a dozen collaborators who surrounded the practitioners and continuously tried to brainwash them, sometimes for as long as fourteen hours or more. They did not even stop during meal times.
On the door of the "Provincial Law Education Class", a sign proclaiming "Vacation Village" was hung. In front of the door, military policemen with electric batons in their hands stood on sentry duty. Nobody in the class could leave at will. The so-called teachers inside are in fact disciplinary guards and the heads of the "610 Office." It was reported that there have been about fifty practitioners sent to the class, a group consisting primarily of university graduates. The "610 Office" first used deceit and hypocrisy to try to force a group of practitioners to give up their cultivation, and then they attempted to inflict systematic damage according to the information given to them by the "reformed" people.
