2. [Huludao City, Liaoning Province] Police Arrest Dafa Practitioner Zhang Sujie
At around 7:00 a.m. on July 20, 2004, officers from the Shaheying Police Station went to Zhangba Village, Shaheying Township and arrested practitioner Ms. Zhang Sujie.
Clearwisdom.net had reported Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Sujie's experience of going to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. In late June 2004, after some officials read that article, they attempted to trick Zhang Sujie into telling them who sent her article to Clearwisdom.net, but didn't succeed. Later Zhang Sujie had a stomachache and vomited for a long time, which left the policemen no choice but to tell her husband to take her home.
It has been reported that Zhang Sujie is currently detained in Qitun Village. It's unknown which detention center she is in.

3. [Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioner Qi Fengzhen Escapes from a Brainwashing Center
On the afternoon of May 31, 2004, Liu Zhanlu and other policemen arrested practitioner Qi Fengzhen, who lives in Liuhuabeili, the Linghe District.
Before Qi Fengzhen started practicing Falun Gong, she was extremely weak and had a disability. She often had to take medicine and injections. As a laid-off worker, she couldn't afford the medication. Her body manifested the symptoms of bone tumors. She was then so desperate that she wanted to commit suicide, but someone introduced her to Falun Dafa. During her several years of cultivation her health was so good that she didn't need to take one pill or have one injection.
She was put into a brainwashing center, and police tried to coerce her into renouncing her belief. She sternly told the personnel at the brainwashing center, "Everyone is writing his own history and decides their own future. Good is rewarded with good, and evil is met with evil. Falun Dafa only benefits the country. Freedom of belief is a right bestowed to every citizen by the Constitution. I have not violated any law! It is you who are violating the law."
In order to protest the persecution against her, Qi Fengzhen staged a hunger strike. The next morning she suddenly fainted. Li Xiejiang at the brainwashing center pronounced, "Send her to a hospital for a checkup. If there is no big problem, take her back here." The hospital result showed her blood pressure was 150 and her heart was racing. She was then allowed to go home.
4. [Beijing] Many Practitioners at Beijing's Women's Prison Nullify Forced "Renouncement of Belief"
Li Li, Zhao Zhisheng, Yuan Lin, Xu Na and other practitioners held in the Beijing Women's Prison have recently started to negate what they did before that went against Dafa under the threats from the prison guards.
Practitioner Ms. Zhao Zhisheng, 51 years old, was severely injured after being beaten up and kicked. In addition, the guards stepped on her neck, struck her, seized her by the neck and dug into her eye socket. She was beaten unconscious, and prison guards doused her with water to wake her up. She was forced to stand facing the wall for several days. Her wounds are still not healed a year later. Once, she was tortured so severely that she started hallucinating and started talking to the wall.
Practitioner Ms. Xu Na witnessed the whole process of practitioner Ms. Dong Cui being tortured to death within eight days. She stepped forward to expose the crime. Currently, those practitioners who nullified the "renouncement of their belief" are experiencing severe hardships. They hope they can work together with practitioners outside, to negate the "renouncement of their belief" and evil persecution.

Only her child was at home. They lied to the child, saying that they were checking on the local residents. After they got in, they searched the whole house. At around 9:30 p.m. Wang Lige came back home. She was pulled into the home as soon as she opened the door.
Wang Lige rebuked such criminal behavior, told them about Falun Gong and kept sending forth righteous thoughts at the same time. At about 10:30 p.m. the police confiscated a computer (worth 4,000 Yuan), a printer (worth 4,000 Yuan), a box of paper (worth 120 Yuan) and truth-clarifying materials (1). They ordered Wang Lige to sign the list of confiscated items. Wang refused and asked them for their search warrant. They took out a piece of paper with some words on it, flashed it in front of Wang and then put it back. Shortly after, some police personnel from the Zhengda Police Precinct came and twenty policemen filled the building. At around 11:00 p.m., all the police went downstairs. Some of them left, while some sat in the car monitoring Wang's apartment. At around 3:00 a.m. the following day, Wang Lige escaped from her home with the power of righteous thoughts. Right now she is living in exile.
It was reported that practitioner Ms. Wang Jiao from the Railway No. 1 Middle School was arrested on July 21. The detailed information is unavailable currently.
