1. [Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province] The Jinshantun Police Arrested Ms. Zhao Guoxia

At around six o'clock in the morning on November 13, 2005, police officer Wang (surname) and another police officer (name unknown) from the Criminal Police Operative Group at the Jinshantun Police Department arrested Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhao Guoxia of Jinshantun, Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province at her home. She was taken to the police station, and then sent to the Jinshantun Detention Center that afternoon; they also ransacked her home. Officials at the police department restricted all information concerning her situation, and refused to allow family visits.

Since September 23, three Falun Dafa practitioners have been arrested, and two previously arrested practitioners, Wang Zhiqian and Mr. Chen Guiqiu, were sent to a forced labor camp. When he was sent to the Haerbing Forced Labor Camp, a physical examination of Mr. Chen Guiqiu revealed an illness, so the labor camp refused to accept him. On his way back, he escaped with his righteous thoughts. The Jinshantun Police Department has deployed substantial manpower in their effort to recapture Mr. Chen. Officers in the department have been instructed to: "Beat him to death when you catch him; if he dies we'll say he committed suicide."

2. [Qingdao City, Shandong Province] The Chengyang Branch Police Department in Qingdao City Arrested Mr. Jiang Fengyi and Detained Him for Several Months

At noon on April 29, 2005, Jiang Xun, the Qiji Village Clerk, led officers from the Chengyang Branch of the Qingdao City Police Department in forcing their way into Mr. Jiang Fengyi's home and ransacked it. They took Dafa books and Master Li's lecture tapes, and forced Mr. Jiang's cousin, Mr. Jiang Fengxi, to put his fingerprints on the arrest warrant. Mr. Jiang Fengyi is being detained at the Chengyang Detention Center.

After his arrest, Mr. Jiang's mother and sisters (all Falun Dafa practitioners) went to the Chengyang Branch Police Department to request his release, but the gate guard wouldn't let them in. His family went to the Chengyang Detention Center to request his release, but officers there wouldn't even let them visit Mr. Jiang. His family then returned to Chengyang Police Department Branch and urgently requested an audience with the chairman. They tried to clarify the truth about the persecution and requested Mr. Jiang's unconditional release. The chairman refused to listen and said he would arrest them as well. The chairman drove the family away, but they went to the Chengyang Police Department Branch twice more to ask for Mr. Jiang's release, to no avail; they weren't even allowed to see him.

Recently, an eyewitness revealed that Mr. Jiang Fengyi is being brutally tortured at the Chengyang Detention Center. They tried to force him to give up cultivation and abandon "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." They also forced him to perform manual labor. Mr. Jiang refused to cooperate, so the police instructed prison officials to torture him. The prisoners, at the guard's instigation, brutally beat him and forced him to wear handcuffs and ankle chains day and night. Sometimes they suspended him midair on his chains from a hook.
