In May 2004, a few days after he was treated at Daqing City No. 4 Hospital and started to become better, he was transferred to Daqing City Prison Hospital. Due to Zhang Zhong's physical condition, personnel at the prison agreed that his family members can bail him out for hospitalization. Zhang Zhong's father rushed around to try and make it happen, but personnel at Daqing City Police Department refused to go through the procedures to bail Zhang Zhong out. As a result, Zhang Zhong is sustaining his life with the limited medical services available in Daqing City Prison Hospital.

On April 27, 2004, officers from the Wenxing Police Precinct, Zhonghe Town's Police Precinct and from the Public Security Section at the Sichuan Gear Factory arrested practitioner Ms. Liu Yanqiu in Zhonghe Town. She is currently being held in Shuangliu City's Zhengxing Brainwashing Class. The following are the details.

Ms. Liu Yanqiu, about 42 years old, a former employee of the Sichuan Province's Gear Factory, lives with her 18-year-old son. Because of her practice of Falun Gong, the factory fined her several thousand yuan. Since she has neither work nor a spouse, and the factory authorities put the obligation to pay on her brother. She lives by temporary jobs, having no other source of livelihood. On April 26, 2004, her father's birthday, she returned there to visit her father. Officers from the Wenxing Police Precinct and the Public Security Section from the Sichuan Gear Factory had staked out around her home, followed her and then arrested her the next day.

5. [Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Practitioner Liu Yulan Leaves the Labor Camp With the Power of Her Righteous Thoughts

In August 2003, Ms. Liu Yulan, who lived in the Guye Garden Residential Building in Tangshan City, went to the Tiananmen Square in Beijing to validate Falun Dafa. Officers from the Guye Police Precinct took her back and held her in the Guye Detention Center. She was sadistically beaten by personnel from the Guye Police Precinct, who later released her after extorting money from her family.

On March 2, 2004, Liu Yulan was arrested again and sent to the Kaiping Labor Camp. Perpetrators again were from the Guye Police Precinct. During that detention period she was not allowed to sleep for seven days in a row. She thought, "I am a Dafa practitioner! This is not a place where I should stay. I want to get out!" With the help of others, and the power of her righteous thoughts, she escaped through a hole on the wall. She threw away the labor camp uniform and went to a street to take the bus. The first bus did not stop, so she sent forth righteous thoughts. The second one stopped. After getting on the bus, she explained that she's a Dafa practitioner and just escaped from the labor camp. The conductor didn't require her to buy a ticket and took her to the place where she wanted to go. She then rejoined the mighty torrent of validating Dafa and went on doing what she should do.

Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Jing is an employee of an institute affiliated with the Shenyang City Space Flight Xinle Equipment, Ltd. Company, located in the city's Santaizi area. Several days ago, while distributing Dafa truth-clarifying materials near the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, lawless policemen arrested her. Afterwards, the company's leader forced each employee to declare whether he/she practiced Falun Gong and show his/her attitude toward Falun Gong.

11. [Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Police from the Guye Police Precinct Search Dafa Practitioners' Homes and Send Dafa Practitioners to Forced Labor Camps, in Gross Violation of the Law and the Chinese Constitution

In May 2004, policemen led by Zhang Shuhua, Tangshan City's Guye Police Precinct chief, arrested a Dafa practitioner with the surname Fei who lives at Xihegongfang in the city. The reason for their arrest was "suspicion of surfing the net." After searching Fei's house, they found nothing but Dafa books and also a computer which Fei's son used for studying.

On June 1, 2004, Zhang Shuhua again led some policemen and broke into Dafa practitioner Li Lianying's house at Guyehou Street. The reason given for this arrest: Li Lianying has been to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Dafa. They put Li Lianying into a vehicle and then sent her to the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp.

In October 2003, Li Lianying had gone to Beijing to appeal, but was arrested and sent back to the Guye Police Precinct where she suffered inhumane tortures. The bruises all over her body were the result of cruel beatings. Her head was swollen as were her feet which would not fit into her shoes. Her fingers could not pick up anything after being nipped by sticks. Police "fined" her 10,000 Yuan (2) and then released her. On March 2, 2004, Li Lianying was arrested together with Li Yulian. They were sent to the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp. Because of her high blood pressure, the camp refused to admit Li Lianying, but Liu Yulan was detained at the forced labor camp.

12. [Siping City, Jilin Province] Homelessness of Dafa Practitioner Zhang Kejiang and His Wife

It was reported on April 16, 2004 that the National Security Team from Siping City's Tiedong Police Department in Sichuan Province colluded with personnel from Tiedong District's "610 Office" and officers from the Qimalu Street Police Precinct. They tracked Dafa practitioner Zhang Kejiang and attempted to arrest him, but Zhang Kejiang saw through their plan and evaded them. The police became furious and went to search Zhang Kejiang's mother-in-law's house, but found nothing. Zhang Kejiang and his wife had little choice but to leave home to avoid illegal arrest. Police continue to keep their home under surveillance.
