1. [Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Police Arrest Three Falun Dafa Practitioners

On May 13, 2005, the Falun Dafa practitioner couple Zhang Weihua and Zhou Jingdong, who live at Liulichang of Chengdu City, was arrested. More than ten policemen waited for them one day and arrested them when they returned home. Those policemen were from the Liulichang Police Station, the Jinjiang District Police Department and other unknown departments. The policemen confiscated a large amount of Falun Dafa truth clarification materials, a desktop and laptop computer, several printers and other personal possessions. At the same time, Zhang Weihua's mother was sent to a brainwashing center, while Zhang and Zhou were held in criminal detention at the Pi County Detention Center. Zhang's father grieved very much.

We have learned that Falun Dafa practitioners Niu Yuqiong, Shen Yueping, Pu Zhimin and Hu Xianding from Yuxi City in Yunnan Province have been sentenced. Their terms are as follows: Niu Yuqiong was sentenced to two years, Shen Yueping to four years, Pu Zhimin to three years and Hu Xianding to one year of forced labor.

3. [Chongqing] Mr. Tang Bing on a Hunger Strike to Protest Detention

Currently, Mr. Tang Bing from the Guojiatuo Area is being held at the Jiangbei District Detention Center. After he went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution, his health deteriorated and he was in critical condition. The officials sent him to a hospital. According to medical tests, he has an intestinal blockage. The police authorities demanded 10,000 Yuan from his family before they could pick him up. They urged the factory [his employer] to help with half of the cost. His family refused to pay the money.

4. [Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] The Authorities at the Daqing City Prison Intensify the Torture of Falun Dafa Practitioners

Recently, Daqing City Prison authorities again intensified the torture of Falun Dafa practitioners. Each practitioner was assigned four inmates as "Personal Cangues" around the clock. They are not allowed to leave the yard, be away from the "personal cangues" or even to go out the door.

On April 30, 2005, practitioner Jin Sheng of the Fourteenth sub-ward of the Seventh Ward refused to wear the prison uniform, so she was put into small cell in order to be tortured. Jin Sheng is still there.

Practitioner Zhao Yu'an of the Seventh Ward was no longer able to eat because of the torture and was subsequently sent to the prison hospital.

On May 10, 2005, practitioner Guan Zhaoqi of the Thirteenth sub-ward of the Seventh Ward requested that Jin Sheng be released from the small cell and that all practitioners' basic freedoms be restored. Guan also spoke out against being forced to wear the prisoner's uniform. Li Fengjiang, the police team leader of the Seventh Ward, forced Guan Zhaoqi to put on the uniform; otherwise Guan would have to suffer sleep deprivation.

On the morning of May 5, 2005, policeman Li Fengjiang went to the thirteen sub-ward of the Seventh Ward to check the status of the "strict administration" of practitioners. He discovered that the "personal cangues" didn't follow the practitioners closely enough; then he beat two of the inmates so severely that they bled from their mouths.

All prisons in Daqing City are now forcing practitioners to put on the prison uniforms. As a result of this incident, policeman Li Fengjiang ordered the policemen in the Seventh Ward to escalate the persecution of the practitioners.

5. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Sun Xiumin Arrested for Clarifying the Truth about Falun Dafa

On May 13, 2005, the Garden Police Station in the Nangang District arrested practitioner Sun Xiumin from the Nangang District in Harbin City because Sun was clarifying the truth about the persecution to people. Sun's home was also searched and the practitioner is now being held at the Yaziquan (the Harbin City Detention Center)

6. [Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province] Li Shurong and Wang Fengying Arrested for Distributing Falun Dafa Truth Clarification Materials

On the evening of May 11, 2005, the authorities from the Lishu Police Department arrested practitioners Li Shurong and Wang Fengying from the Lishu District, Jixi City, when they were distributing truth clarification materials.

7. [Helong City, Jilin Province] Ms. Zhang Yanchun Arrested for Clarifying the Truth about Falun Dafa

Ms. Zhang Yanchun, 41 years old, is from Bajiazi Town in Helong City, Jilin Province. She was arrested on May 9, 2005, because she was reported for clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa to neighbors. Zhang Jian and another three or four persons from the National Security Team in the Helong Police Department beat her. Now she is being held at the Helong City Detention Center.
