1. [Leshan, Sichuan Province] Cui Xiaoping and Other Practitioners are Persecuted

More than ten days ago, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Su Chunxiu was arrested. Officials from Leshan City Middle District Public Security Bureau deceived her, saying that they were going to refund the fines she had paid. Instead, they sent her to Leshan City Shizhushan Jail.

Cui Xiaoping is a former volunteer Falun Gong teaching assistant of Leshan City. She has been unlawfully detained many times, but escaped with righteous thoughts. In August 2004, Cui Xiaoping went on a hunger strike for more than 20 days while suffering severe persecution. Ms. Cui's weight fell from 70 kgs to just over 30 kgs, and her entire body became black. Under the family's strong protest, the police allowed the parents to take Ms. Cui home. Afterwards, the police attempted to prosecute Cui Xiaoping several times. Their efforts were in vain when faced with fellow practitioners' righteous thoughts.

On November 3, police officers of Section One of Middle District Public Security Bureau in Leshan City deceived Ms. Cui into going to Middle District People's Court and tried to put her on trial. The police handcuffed Ms. Cui. Police Wang Aiping of Section One of Middle District Public Security Bureau claimed it was ordered by their superiors. Cui Xiaoping is now being held at Leshan City Shizhushan Detention Center.

Shizhushan Detention Center is now detaining more than 10 Falun Dafa practitioners.

2. [Beijing] Yang Binghai is Seized While Clarifying the Truth

In 2000, Mr. Yang was sent to the forced labor camp. He was released after one year, but was also dismissed from his job at Beijing Cement Factory. In order to feed his family and support his child's university expenses, Mr. Yang made a living from pedaling a pedi-cab.

While working, he continuously talked to people about the truth of Falun Gong. In 2003, the police discovered him on the street and forcibly took him to Changping Brainwashing Center. He firmly refused to cooperate with the evil and persistently clarified the truth. Later, he escaped with righteous thoughts.

On October 21 this year, Yang Binghai was arrested again by Changping District "610 Office" and National Security Bureau for speaking the truth about Falun Gong. The police officers also tricked his son into bringing them to his home, and they illegally searched the home. Mr. Yang's whereabouts are currently unknown.
