1. [Linyi City, Shandong Province] Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioner Chen Xuekai
Mr. Chen Xuekai, 48, is from Zhengshan Village, Zhengshan Town in Linshu County, Linyi City. In 2000, he was unlawfully sentenced and held in the No. 11 Brigade at the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp (located in the Guanzhuang area, Jinan City). While serving his term, Mr. Chen and fellow Falun Dafa practitioner, Chu Liuwen, were placed under "strict supervision" in the No. 11 Brigade. The police stretched his arms and legs out with handcuffs because of his firm belief in Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance. For over thirty days, Mr. Chen was deprived of regular meals. Sometimes he had to eat and pass waste in the stretched position. [This method of torture is typically known as the "Dead Person's Bed." The four limbs of the practitioner are stretched out and tied to the four corners of an icy-cold metal bed. The practitioner cannot move at all. Neither is he allowed to get up to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom. This type of cruel torture causes severe mental and physical damage to the practitioner, and contrary to this case, rarely lasts more than a dozen days.] He was also forced to work for over sixteen hours each day. However, none of the torture has affected his firm belief in the Teacher of Falun Gong. In 2003, Mr. Chen was released upon expiration of his three-year forced labor term.
On September 23, 2003, while Mr. Chen was working in the fields, members of the Linshu "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] abducted him and took him to the Linyi City Brainwashing Center. While in detention he upheld righteous thoughts and carried out righteous deeds by clarifying the truth about Falun Gong to everyone he encountered. The brainwashing center staff viciously resorted to lifting and dropping him, in order to force him to step on the portrait of the founder of Falun Gong. The staff also scribbled words on his body that slandered the Teacher of Falun Gong. Regardless of threat or enticement, Mr. Chen's determination in cultivating Falun Dafa could not be altered.

[The average monthly income for an urban worker in China is 500 Yuan.]

5. [Xinji City, Hebei Province] Xinji Authorities Screen Each and Every Person to Persecute Residents
Authorities in Xinji City are carrying out the persecution against Falun Dafa by harassing each and every resident. All current and retired employees in the city have to be screened, one by one. Those that have never practiced Falun Gong have to sign "the three statements." [Created by the "610 Office," the three statements consist of a letter of denouncement of Falun Gong, a guarantee to never practice Falun Gong, and a list of names and addresses of all family members, friends and acquaintances who are practitioners.] Those who once practiced Falun Gong also have to write "the four statements." [Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write these as proof that they have given up their belief. The fourth statement additionally expresses repentance.] Anyone who does not comply is reported to the police.
6. [China] Over Ninety Hydrogen Balloons Carrying Truth-Clarifying Banners Successfully Released by Falun Dafa Practitioners
In the early morning of October 1, 2003, area Falun Dafa practitioners carried out righteous deeds with righteous thoughts. They successfully released over ninety hydrogen-filled balloons with banners that clarified the facts about Falun Gong. All participants have returned home safely. On the night of October 3, they unfurled over eighty banners in another area, and distributed other truth-clarifying materials, some of which were printed on self-adhesive stickers. One banner stretched out for over four meters, reading "Falun Gong practitioners worldwide have sued Jiang for genocide, inhumane torture and crimes against humanity."

She has been unlawfully detained, "fined" huge amounts of money (which was actually extortion), and then forced to leave home and move from place to place in order to avoid further persecution. Two months ago, she and her husband, 31-year-old university graduate Chen Youqing, were unlawfully arrested by the police while clarifying the facts about Falun Gong in another town. Their child was with them when they were arrested. They were first held at the Hua County Detention Center.
