1. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Arrest of Falun Gong Practitioner Feng Lianhua

During the morning of July 13, 2004, a dozen people from Wuhan City's Yangyuan Brainwashing Class and the Wofo Residential Committee, as well as policeman Hao from Wuchang District's Ziyang Street Police Precinct, went to practitioner Ms. Feng Lianhua's house. Ms. Feng is around 40 years old. They deceived Ms. Feng into coming to the residential committee building, then locked her up on the third floor and verbally abused her, without allowing Ms. Feng to speak on her own behalf. They wrote a long document slandering Dafa and then forced Ms. Feng to sign the paper. They also tried to force Ms. Feng to give up Falun Gong practice. Prior to this incident, personnel from the police precinct and residential committee have come to Feng Lianhua's place many times attempting to send her to the brainwashing center, but Ms. Fend has resolutely refused.

2. [Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Practitioners Tortured in the Hehuakeng Forced Labor Camp

More than 40 practitioners are being detained at Tangshan City's Hehuakeng Labor Camp. Half of them were persecuted in a "restricted class." Practitioners were forced to sit on a little stool (a torture device) every day, and some have been forced to sit this way for almost a year.

On July 12, 2004, two police officers from Handan City were re-assigned to the labor camp to take part in forcing practitioners to give up their beliefs. Those practitioners who did not give up were deprived of sleep for long periods of time. The officials persecuting the practitioners include Ai Zhenming, the instructor who is in charge of persecuting Falun Gong, Li Weiping, a team leader, and six other team leaders. Right now the police do not answer phone calls from practitioners outside, and they have blocked internal information of the incident.

3. [Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Dafa Materials Production Center Destroyed in Tangshan City; a Dozen Practitioners Detained

In the beginning of July 2004, a Dafa materials production center was destroyed in Tangshan City and a dozen practitioners including Liu Hui, Luo Zhijian, and Cao [given name not known] were arrested. Some are still in a detention center, and between 10 and 20 of these practitioners were sent to the Tangshan Reformation School. The police have force-fed those practitioners who held hunger strikes and deprive practitioners of sleep. The police persecutors have not notified practitioners' families even though the practitioners have been detained for over ten days. This is a violation of the Chinese Constitution.

Reformation School phone number: 86-315-3713316.

4. [Anshan City, Liaoning Province] More than Twenty Dafa Practitioners Are Arrested and Being Held in the No. 3 Detention Center

Upon entering the home, they put handcuffs on Wang Zhiping and confiscated many Dafa truth-clarifying materials.

In mid-May, persons from Lushan District's "610 Office" in Jiujiang City arrested Dafa practitioner Mr. Cai Maobao, an employee of the 5727 Factory, and unlawfully searched his house without any warrant.

It was reported that policemen Hu Rongbang and Chen Xin from the 5727 Factory, policemen Zhang Ming, Tian Ruhong, and Luo Siyin, from the Lushan District and who have persecuted Dafa practitioners for a long time, were shamed and angry because Dafa practitioners had posted many truth-clarifying fliers exposing their crimes in the persecution of Dafa practitioners. Since they thought Cai Maobao was good at the computer, they arrested him with fabricated charges. After Cai was detained, he held a hunger strike to protest the illegal detention. He was once hospitalized under surveillance because of a gastric hemorrhage. He has suffered from cruel torture during his detention. Further details are so far unknown.
