Facts of the Persecution

1. At midnight on September 16, 2003, lawless police officers from Yan'an Street Precinct in the Changyi District, Jilin City, along with perpetrators from Jilin City "610 Office"* hired roughnecks to pry open the door of Dafa practitioner Zhang Aimin's home. They broke in and took away personal property worth about 8,000 Yuan.

2. Dafa practitioner Zuo Yan in Jilin City was abducted on September 16, and her printer and computer were confiscated.

3. On September 20, police abducted four Dafa practitioners in the Qingfeng District, Jilin City. On September 16, Dafa practitioner Li Xintong escaped from the police department with the aid of righteous thoughts after he was abducted.

Police officers from Mentougou abducted Dafa practitioner Ms. Cheng Daqun in the Chaoyang District, Beijing, on June 16. The police also ransacked her home. Cheng Daqun experienced severe discomfort and vomited blood at the time of the abduction. Nevertheless, they still sent her to the Mentougou Detention Center where she has been detained for the past three months. Cheng Daqun has been holding a hunger strike, is extremely weak right now and cannot take care of herself. Even so, the perpetrators do not allow her be let out on parole to receive medical treatment.

Practitioners Exchange Insights

Dafa practitioners in Mainland China resist all evil with righteous thoughts and are compassionately rescuing people.

In July 2001, I was arrested and sent to a detention center. A female guard slapped my face repeatedly with the bottom of a shoe until she became exhausted. With kindness I told her she shouldn't beat people because it's bad for her. She refused to listen so I didn't say any more.

In my heart, I said that I must rectify the environment in the detention center. I began a hunger strike and at the same time I eliminated the evil elements behind the perpetrators. Three or four days later, the inmates' attitude toward me took a 360-degree turn. They also looked healthier. Once I overheard them saying, "We don't get sick when there is a Falun Gong here." I told the guard during my hunger strike that it's impossible for me not to do the Dafa exercises and said, "If I do it behind your back, you would blame the inmates. We practice Truth-Compassion-Tolerance, we cannot let other people to take the blame for something we didn't do wrong." They all said Falun Gong practitioners are good people and agreed to let me practice, but they asked me to recite the prison regulations.

I thought about it for two days and then I realized I shouldn't recite those rules because if I did, I would be acknowledging the persecution. An official said, "If you don't want to recite, you don't have to." In the last few days at the detention center, the head guard said to me, "You are so stubborn. You'll be sent to a labor camp for sure!" I said, "I may get out. If you don't believe me, just wait. Even if I get sent to a labor camp, I would still practice for sure. I will never recite the regulations."

I thought, "I came to validate the Fa. I have to rectify the environment wherever I go. So what if they beat me? The most they can do is to beat me to death. I'm suffering right now so more people won't have to suffer." One month later I was released.

The truth and people's heart

1. A couple living in Zigong City, Sichuan Province had serious health problems. The husband had kidney stones, a chronic condition, and the wife suffered from an uterine tumor. They had both lived in great pain. Fortunately, after they obtained the Fa in 1998, their illnesses disappeared within the same year. After July 20, 1999, the wife gave up practicing Falun Dafa because of the Jiang group's bloody persecution. Her old illness recurred. In early March 2003, she suddenly died from a cerebral hemorrhage. The husband persisted in practicing Falun Dafa and is still very healthy.

2. A woman named Wu, living in Zigong City, Sichuan Province, suffered from many diseases, the most severe one being a stomach hemorrhage. She was skins and bones and suffered terribly from the illnesses. This woman's landlord is a Dafa practitioner. Although he frequently told her about Falun Dafa, she didn't believe it. Recently, the landlord's wife also began practicing Falun Dafa, and her kidneys healed within a short time. Lady Wu was stunned, and in mid-September 2003 she asked to read a Falun Dafa book. Three days after she began reading the Dafa books, a miracle happened! Her constipation was cured and she became energetic. Now she sincerely believes in the power of Dafa and tells everyone, "I just want to practice Falun Gong. Falun Dafa is so good!"

Other, belated news from China C torture death of a Dafa practitioner's wife

A Dafa practitioner's letter to family abroad, written in Beijing: Before the Chinese New Year, on February 10, 2002, the vicious police tricked me into opening the door to my home and abducted and detained me. They sentenced me to one-and-half years of forced labor and transported me to Tuanhe Labor Camp in Beijing.

After I returned home on August 10, 2003, I learned that my beloved wife was tortured to death on April 10, 2002. I condemned the head of the police department and the police officers, asking them, "Who is the one devoid of human nature? You killed my wife and didn't even let me see her for the last time!" They couldn't answer and shunned my accusations.

During the past four years I was arrested six times and my wife was arrested four times. During the more than one year of detention at the labor camp, they deprived me of sleep many days in a row. They used "soft" and "hard" means, trying to destroy my willpower, then group-attacked me; but all police officers who talked to me in the past year became wordless in the end, because they couldn't stand up to the evildoings Jiang's group has committed. When I talked about Dafa and also the outrageous performances staged by Jiang's group, such as the "Fu Yibin murder case," they couldn't answer my questions.
