[Shuangliu County, Sichuan Province] Appeal to Urgently Rescue Female Dafa Practitioner Fan Ying, Who Is Being Cruelly Persecuted at the Shuanghua Detention Center
On the morning of April 14, 2003, a policeman from the Shuangliu City "610 Office"* who said his last name was Hu found practitioner Ms. Fan Ying, who was working in a workshop in Sichuan Province's Gear Wheel Factory. Hu asked the supervisor of the workshop for Fan Ying's performance. The director told him that Fan Ying was doing very well and was well liked by her colleagues. She was doing an extraordinary job at work, had never asked for days off work due to illness or personal matters. She had never been late for work or left work ahead of time, and that she had a very harmonious relationship with her colleagues. Hu couldn't think of anything to say and had to leave the workshop.
On April 16, police officer Xiong from the Wenxing Police Station, leading several policemen from the Security Section of the Gear Wheel Factory, suddenly broke into Ms. Fan Ying's home. They confiscated her Dafa books and some Dafa materials. These policemen sent Fan Ying to the Security Section of the factory, and then several large men dragged Fan Ying into a police car against her will. They transported her to Shuangliu County's Shuanghua Detention Center. Fan Ying didn't compromise her belief. She staged a hunger strike for more than ten days.
After policemen sent Fan Ying to Shuangliu County's Lianzhensuo Hospital for further persecution, Fan was able to escape. Afterwards, because Fan Ying was reported to the police, the police mobilized a lot of people to search for her and arrested her again.
Her current whereabouts are unknown. It is likely that Fan Ying was again sent to the Shuanghua Detention Center. When she was last seen, Fan Ying's clothes were full of bloodstains, her face was covered with bruises and she was injured when she was taken away the second time.
We urgently appeal to international human rights organizations to pay attention to this matter and help Fan Ying regain her freedom as soon as possible.

[Hebei Province] Policemen from Gaoyang County Persecute Dafa Practitioner Zhang Xiumei and Her Over 80-year-old Mother
Ms. Zhang Xiumei was illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor by the local court because she went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. She was sent to the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp. Because she was steadfast in her cultivation of Dafa and refused to cooperate with the police's demands, police officers repeatedly beat her and shocked her with electric batons. She was tortured to the point of being extremely weak. Finally she went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution, and her life was in danger.
In October 2001, policemen in Gaoyang County had to release Zhang Xiumei. During the 16th Party Conference, although Ms. Zhang was very weak, policemen in Gaoyang County again illegally arrested Zhang Xiumei from home in Zhuolu County. When they forcibly took Zhang Xiumei away, they even knocked down her over 80-year-old mother, fracturing one of the older woman's upper arms. Her mother still cannot take care of herself. These policemen are indifferent to the elderly woman's injuries. Her family reported the case to the police authorities, but no one has shown any interest in this case at all.
