Practitioner Gao Ke was arrested and detained in Taiping Police Sub-department on March 12, 2002. On March 21, Gao was sentenced to 3 years in a forced labor camp and sent to Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp on April 5. Because Gao refuses to give up cultivation, the officials put Gao into a confinement cell. The confinement cells in Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp are less than 4.5 feet high, and people inside the labor camp call them "the kennels." The conditions inside the confinement cells are worse than ever before. Under the fierce torture, Gao's whole body is swollen, vomits blood and has blood in the stool. Gao Ke is extremely weak and in a critical condition.

We urgently call for all kind people to call the labor camp and stop the perpetrators' brutal persecution. The phone number is: 86-451-4101454 ext. 3309

After the Changchun Cable TV Network incident, the officials fear that similar things might happen in Harbin City. They hired many unemployed people around 30 years old through the residential community offices. Each of these hired people are given a walkie-talkie, and they are told to patrol along the TV cables back and forth on their bicycles or motorcycles 24 hours a day. These people are also told to watch for practitioners distributing truth-clarifying materials. The perpetrators clearly told these people to use violence on any "suspicious people" and report them to the local police stations. At this time, the perpetrators have hired many people, and they force the TV stations to pay their salaries and all other related expenses.

Ren Yuanfang is the head of Group No. 3 in Shibalihe Forced Labor Camp. She changed the national anthem's lyrics and used them to slander Dafa. Everyone detained in the four groups of the forced labor camp are forced to sing the changed lyrics. Ren also forces every person who has been "reformed" through brainwashing to tightly control and persecute the steadfast practitioners.

It is believed that eight practitioners were recently arrested for distributing truth-clarifying materials. They have been sentenced to 1 to 4 years in prison.

Perpetrators in Xiantao City are holding photo exhibitions that slander Dafa in many districts of the city. The exhibitions are primarily aimed at the young students of primary and middle schools.

Practitioners Li Weiyin, Yang Hongmei, and Yang Jun are from Yandun Township, Jingmen City. They were arrested on the morning of March 31, while they were sending forth righteous thoughts in front of the town government building and the town police station.

In a secret prison in Beijing, practitioner Dong Yanhong from Changchun has been illegally detained and interrogated. The police guards forced Dong to stand still for over 40 days, and they do not allow her to eat or sleep.

On April 14, 2002, the police in Jiamusi City went to knock on the door of practitioner Kang Aifen's home. Knowing that the police came to illegally arrest her, Kang refused to open the door. Kang's husband (not a practitioner) was not at home at the time. The police then waited outside Kang's home 24 hours a day. Later on, the perpetrators hired a woman to knock Kang's door. The police sat around in the residence building, unnerving the other residents. Two police vehicles blocked the building entrance, and the perpetrators cut the power wires and telephone lines of Kang's apartment. Kang cannot cook or use the phone to call anyone outside. Her child has been forced to leave home. Zhongshan Police Station mobilized more police officers and surrounded Kang's home. A few days ago, Kang Aifen said that there was not much food left in her apartment. Kang's apartment has been under siege for 6 days, and the situation is urgent. We call the attention of kind people to Kang's situation.

Recently, many updated truth-clarifying CDs and fliers were dropped in the mailboxes of the residence buildings in Zhongshan University in Guangzhou City. All the materials were delivered in one night. Learning the news, the persecutors have become very frightened. Some unlawful officials of Guangdong Province ordered the police to arrest the practitioners immediately. In a special meeting, the Province police ordered their subordinates to arrest practitioners who distribute truth-clarifying materials. They also encouraged their subordinates to do this with promises of promotions and money. The police plan to monitor the practitioners who had been illegally sent to forced labor camps, and immediately report to their superiors once they notice suspicious actions by the practitioners. They use the practitioners' work unit staff, door guards, and security guards to monitor the practitioners and do night patrols.

Zhao Xuexia is a young female practitioner from Xingtai City. She was detained in the No. 2 female group of Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp, where the labor camp guards fiercely tortured her. They used unknown drugs to damage Zhao's brain. Zhao went on a hunger strike to protest against the persecution. When she was in a comatose state, the head of No. 2 group held Zhao's hand and wrote words like "will not practice." Later on, Zhao's family members brought her home. Recently, Zhao Xuexia was diagnosed with serious brain damage and pronounced very unlikely to wake up. However, on April 6, 2002, Zhao woke up and immediately recognized her mother and her neighbors, words like "Dafa is good" and the Fa rectification verses.

Practitioners Jin Shunchun and Miao Cui, both from Hunan province, are being continuously tortured in Hunan Women's Prison. They are put in confinement cells, denied the right to meet their family members, physically punished, and beaten in front of everyone else. Because they do not cooperate with the persecution and used their legal rights to appeal for Dafa and for themselves, the prison guards retaliated by forcing them onto a stage and humiliating them publicly.

Mo Xiaoyan is a practitioner from Luowang, Yueyang City. Because she does not cooperate with the persecution and refuses to work inside the prison, the guards force her to the worksite everyday, where her hands are cuffed behind her back. The guards also put her into a confinement cell.

Practitioner Yi Lianhua is from Hengyang. She does the sitting meditation whenever she has some time in the prison. She also teaches the inmates to practice Falun Gong. One day, when headwoman Zhao Xufang saw Yi meditating, she beat Yi brutally.

Chen Xiuhua, female, is persecuting Dafa and Dafa practitioners while working for the "610 Office" [Note: 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 and judiciary systems] of Hunan Province. For her self-interest, Chen helps a tyrant to do evil by brainwashing practitioners. For every practitioner she helps to "reform," Chen gets 10,000 Yuan [Chinese dollar. The average monthly salary of an urban worker in China is about 500 Yuan, but only 200 Yuan for a rural worker] as a bonus.
