[Masanjia, Liaoning Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Cui Yaning Tortured in the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp

During July 2002, Falun Dafa practitioners Li Dongqing (female), Song Caihong (female) and Cui Yaning were illegally sentenced to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. During the trial Cui Yaning shouted loudly, "Falun Dafa is good!" and as a consequence her sentence was arbitrarily extended by three months. In December 2002, a female police officer from Team Two of the Female Camp No.2 threw practitioner Cui Yaning into a small cell with former practitioners (who had been persecuted to the point that they disavowed their faith in Falun Dafa). Windows were kept open, exposing Cui Yaning to the cold for nine days and nights. Her feet froze to the point of cracking and bleeding, but she did not yield to the torture. Later on, she could not walk due to frostbite on her feet. She was sent to the hospital for medical treatment. She wrote a letter to the director of the forced labor camp, describing all the forms of torture that Dafa practitioners were subject to at the camp. She has remained steadfast, and is currently being detained at Group Two of Team Two in Female Camp No.2. Previously she had been detained in Team One.

People responsible for the persecution at Female Camp No. 2 of the Masanjia Force Labor Camp:

[Zanhuang County, Hebei Province] A New Round of Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners

Prior to July 20, Gu Yuping, Assistant Party Secretary of Zanhuang County chaired a meeting regarding the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners, which all county level officers attended. Afterwards, some officers told practitioners, "The senior officials have a saying: 'As long as Falun Gong practitioners from a given area go to Beijing, officers from that area will be dismissed from their posts.' You've got to write a 'guarantee statement'. Otherwise, you go by yourself to the Shishi Brainwashing Class with 3000 Yuan." Before that, members of the "610 Office" and Nu Guiping, a female Director of the Politics & Security Section of the Zanhuang Public Security Bureau, had frequently ransacked and looted practitioners' homes. They arrested practitioners and extorted fines from 1000 to 5000 Yuan from each person.

[Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Are Persecuted at a Brainwashing Class in Baiyun District

The so-called "Law School" in Baiyun District is actually a brainwashing class established to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. In the beginning, they did not dare to torture practitioners physically. They mainly deprived practitioners of their personal freedom and extorted huge sums of money from their employers. Practitioners' family members and employers suffered both emotionally and monetarily. They did this in an attempt to make practitioners feel guilty and confuse those practitioners who had not studied the Fa well and had not let go of their attachments. Currently, under orders from the "610 Office" in Guangzhou City, the brainwashing class is employing the following means to persecute steadfast Falun Dafa practitioners: depriving practitioners of sleep, forcing them to watch videos defaming Dafa, and coercing them to write so-called "guarantee statements." Shen Wen, Yang Yang, and others were subject to these forms of persecution.
