1. We Hear Gunshots While Hanging Banners

On the evening of January 12 of the Chinese lunar calendar, we were putting up Falun Dafa banners along the highway while sending forth righteous thoughts. Soon after a fellow practitioner and I hung a 10-meter-long banner from a tree, a "110" police car was seen approaching. Policemen got out of the car and tried to remove the banner we had just put up. We then walked about one mile away and began putting up another banner. At that moment, we clearly heard a gunshot from the direction of the police car. That reminded us of the orders issued by Jiang, allowing policeman to fire guns at people hanging Falun Dafa banners. Hearing the gunshot that night was proof.

A reliable source later informed us that later in the evening there was a policeman along every 60 meters of the highway, attempting to capture the Falun Dafa practitioners responsible for hanging the banners. With Teacher's protection, we hung up all the banners and came back safely.

2. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] "Punishment with Severity" Is Being Carried Out Between April 15 and 20 in Changchun City

Police in Changchun City have revealed that a "Punishment with Severity" action started early the morning of April 15 and would continue through April 20. Some vicious people have attempted to take this opportunity to persecute Falun Dafa disciples. We hope that all Falun Dafa disciples send forth righteous thoughts and destroy the evil's plotting scheme.

The illegal policies conducted by the "610 Office" in Siping City were carried out in Lishu County of Jilin Province. Falun Dafa disciples are being asked to fill out a form with their information and put their fingerprint on it.

3. [Ji'nan City, Shandong Province] "Control of Tickets to Beijing" Notices Are Seen at the Ji'nan Railway Station

This year, a notice has been put up at Ji'nan Railway Station stating that, "For tickets going in the direction of Beijing, a valid certificate is required." Falun Dafa disciples who are going to Beijing, please mind your safety and deal with this using righteous thoughts.

4. [Fuyu County, Heilongjiang Province] Criminal Records of the Brainwashing Class in Fuyu County

The "610 Office" officers in Fuyu County, led by the neighborhood committee and local police substation, went to 28 Falun Dafa disciples' homes on the night of December 30, 2001. Using the excuse of "having a talk with them", they took the disciples to the Party College for forced brainwashing.

In the brainwashing class, they attempted to instill lies and force the disciples to watch the performance of the staged "self immolation", the Central News, Heilongjiang News, Fuyu News and other fake news programs. Every disciple was extorted 10 yuan for each day of brainwashing.

Some of the Falun Dafa disciples are unable to support their families because of the persecution. How can they afford to pay so much money for the extortion? A female disciple whose husband was illegally sentenced to forced labor reeducation had no choice but to bring her child with her to the brainwashing class because there was no one to take care of it. The "610" officers reprimanded them and forced the mother to send the child away. Consequently both the mother and child burst into tears. At night, their quilt was taken away as punishment.

Another disciple was looking after his father-in-law who was in the hospital while also taking care of his sick mother-in-law and the dumpling store that they lived atop of. However, the disciple was abducted and sent to a brainwashing class. During the detention, she fainted and fell to the ground. After over ten days in the hospital, she was sent back to the brainwashing class. She remained dizzy for many days after.

A Falun Dafa disciple was sent to a brainwashing class and her husband was illegally sentenced to forced labor camp. Their daughter was left alone at home. In the brainwashing class, the disciple became very weak and suffered from a severe heart attack. Even so, they still would not release her. They sent her to the hospital, and after over ten days, she was sent back to the brainwashing class. When she became weak again, she was again sent to the hospital. Not only did they not allow her to go home, but also extorted over 5000 yuan (about 10 months wages for an average urban worker in China) from her as medical expenses.

We appeal here to all people of goodwill in the world to pay attention to this criminal behavior and severe violation of citizens' personal rights and to help stop it. Meanwhile, we solemnly warn the vicious thugs that it is a heavenly principle that good is rewarded with good and evil met with evil. It will be too late to regret when retribution is at hand.

5. [Hainan Province] The President and Vice Party Secretary of the Anning Hospital Abduct Employees and Force Them into a Brainwashing Class

Chen Shaoshi, the President of the Anning Hospital, and Chen Shaoqing (female), the Vice Party Secretary of the hospital, persecute Falun Gong practitioners working at the hospital and use every possible means to attain personal gains. They have abducted practitioners and sent them to the so-called "Law Class," actually intended for brainwashing, held by the departments directed by the Hainan Provincial Government. Chen Shaoqing, one of the persons in charge of the brainwashing class, is especially treacherous, attempting to make trouble for practitioners.

Their disgusting conduct has aroused strong resentment among the working staff. Although they have racked their brains in scheming, they have not changed even a little bit of the Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts and belief in Falun Dafa.

By the end of 2001, Chen Shaoshi, Chen Shaoqing and their accomplices forcibly sent a practitioner from work to the brainwashing class. In order to fulfill the tasks ordered by the authorities above, they sent a practitioner, Chen Shaoqing's former classmate, who had just been released from a forced labor camp, to the brainwashing class. A few days ago, they stopped a practitioner, whom they considered hard to deal with, on the bus to work.They redirected the bus to a brainwashing class and all the other passengers were moved to another bus that had been prepared beforehand and driven to their work while the practitioner was left inside the bus for over 10 hours. Eventually, they sent her to the brainwashing class. Her present situation is still not known.

6. [Haikou City, Hainan Province] Practitioner's Brother and Staff in Brainwashing Classes in Zhendong District Resist a Police Station's Brutality

On March 8, International Women's Day, the director of the Zhendong District Police Station in Haikou City led a group of policemen to illegally break into a female practitioner's home. Resorting to violence, the police took her, along with two guests (not practitioners) who happened to be visiting, to the police station. Without asking any questions or gathering any evidence, Long Jian, the chief of the police station, beat the female practitioner to the extent that her face was swollen and bruised and her eardrum burst. The practitioner was then sent to the Haikou City Brainwashing Class. Later, she was sent to the Provincial People's Hospital. Her elderly brother (who doesn't practice Falun Gong) witnessed the police brutality in broad daylight. He wrote an angry letter to the mayor of Haikou City about this injustice, demanding the unconditional release of his sister. He brought a camera with him to the hospital in an attempt to shoot pictures of the injuries his sister had suffered from the beating. But the police unjustly forbade him from taking pictures. Even the staff of the brainwashing class reproached the police for violating the law when they are supposed to be enforcing it, and asked for the release of the practitioner. Several days later, she returned home safely.

7. [Haikou City, Hainan Province] Upon the Dissolution of a Brainwashing Class, a New Conspiracy is Being Planned

A brainwashing class in Haikou City of Hainan Province fell apart in late March. The staff working there made the following statement based on their own experiences: "It has been several months since the start of the session, which has cost a tremendous amount of manpower, budget, and other resources of the country. But it is of absolutely no use. Once you have gone back home, you continue to practice Falun Gong. And on top of that, you have sent us plenty of materials that clarify the truth about Falun Gong. And we, too, finally understand what Falun Gong is all about."

As revealed by officials in the Haikou City Political and Judiciary Committee , some local officials are planning to transfer the entire remaining balance of the one million Yuan - specifically allocated out of the national treasury by Jiang and Luo for holding brainwashing classes - to the provincial women's forced labor camp. The fund will be spent on construction in the labor camp in preparation for brainwashing classes that are to be held there. This is the so-called "serialized" scheme. Jiang's followers are planning on abducting practitioners to the brainwashing facilities that are to be constructed inside the labor camp. Those who refuse to write "guarantee statements" renouncing Falun Gong will be sentenced to forced labor on the spot. We hope that practitioners in Hainan Province who have read this report can send forth righteous thoughts to thwart this conspiracy.

8. [Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province] Practitioners in a Brainwashing Class are under 24-Hour Video Surveillance - Even in Showers and Bathroom

Brainwashing classes in Dongshan District and Huangpu District in Guangdong Province have placed Falun Dafa practitioners under 24-hour closed-circuit video surveillance. Practitioners have been videotaped even when taking showers or using the restroom, an unacceptably serious violation of practitioners' privacy and human rights. Practitioners have been barred from making phone calls or even taking a stroll. Family members who come to visit have also been driven away.

Guilty policeman: Liu Shaowei.

9. [China] Huge "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance" Banners Appear on a Busy Street

On March 23, Falun Dafa practitioners in a certain city displayed large banners with the red letters "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance" on yellow background. They were hung from three different levels of a tall building near a major street.

10. [Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province] Lingbei Police Station of Hegang Police Department Illegally Arrests Falun Dafa Practitioners

On April 12, 2002, while Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Yongzhi was working in the Lingbei area of Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province, officers from the Lingbei Police Station of the Hedong Police Department illegally interrogated him. The police also forcibly conducted a body search on Wang and then illegally searched his home. Without any evidence, the police placed Wang Yongzhi in custody at the No. 2 Detention Center. Even more wickedly, the police also detained Wang's friend Hu who had helped Wang to find this job, on the grounds that Hu had committed the crime of "aiding and sheltering".

Telephone number of the Lingbei Police Station: 86-468-3533004.

11. [Yanggu County, Shandong Province] Acts Committed by Law-Violating Policemen in Yanggu County, Shandong Province

Song Shihe, the director, and Liu Xiuquan, chief of the Chengguan Town Police Station in Yanggu County, Shandong Province, led other policemen in the middle of the night to forcibly abduct Falun Dafa practitioners Chen Peilong and his wife (whose whereabouts are now unknown). Song and Liu had also frequently directed other policemen to jump over the walls and knock down the door of practitioner Liang Aicun's home located in Wulimiao Village. They conducted illegal searches and took cash, bicycles, tape recorders, and even flashlights and ladders away from Liang's home. Liang Aicun and her daughter Yu Yinxiang were forcibly taken into custody. Liang's husband Yu, who is also a Falun Dafa practitioner, has been forced to stay away from home and wander about homeless. The police also kidnapped Yu's younger brother Yu Chuanjing and took him to a brainwashing class.

At the end of the final month on the Chinese lunar calendar (early February 2002), Yang Zhaowei, the chief of Xihu Township Police Station in Yanggu County, led other policemen to illegally arrest Ma Wenlong, Guan Guizhi, Meng Hua and a total of seven Falun Dafa practitioners and sent them to a brainwashing class in Liaocheng.

Wei Yuliang of the Family Planning Office in Jindouying Township of Yanggu County led policemen to arrest eleven Falun Dafa practitioners, who were then sent to a brainwashing class.

Falun Dafa practitioner Meng Xiushan from Jiaomeng Village in Yanggu was arrested while clarifying the truth about Falun Gong. She has been sent to the Jinan Forced Labor Camp.
