(Clearwisdom.net) Since July 20, 1999, many students and faculty from China's Northeastern Normal University and its affiliated high school were persecuted for their steadfast belief in Falun Dafa and unwavering adherence to the principle of "Truthfulness Compassion Forbearance." The corrupt administrators from the University and the local police follow Jiang and his vicious policy against Falun Gong practitioners that states, "Ruin their reputation, destroy them financially, and eliminate them physically."

Students and faculty are forced to write the "Three Statements" and dormitories and apartments are unlawfully searched for Falun Dafa books and materials [The Three Statements consist of a letter of repentance, a guarantee to never again practice Falun Gong, and a list of names and addresses of all family members, friends and acquaintances who are practitioners]. Dafa practitioners are expelled from school, fired from their jobs and and their Party memberships are canceled. They are also fined and evicted from faculty housing owned by or associated with the university. The corrupt people at the university also actively cooperate with the local police to send Dafa practitioners to forced labor camps, detention centers, and brainwashing centers. Dafa practitioners and their families have been tormented cruelly. Practitioners have suffered tremendously both physically and mentally and their lives have been destroyed.

New undergraduate and graduate students are not admitted to this university if they practice Falun Gong. Graduates from this University who practice Falun Gong are not granted employment. Thus far, one Dafa practitioner has been tortured to death; many were sent to forced labor camp, fired or expelled. Nearly 30 practitioners from Northeaster Normal University were illegally detained. Below are the facts regarding the persecution against Falun Gong practitioners that has been supported by the University:

1. Mr. Bai Xiaojun, 36 years old, had a master's degree in Philosophy and was the editor for the University Journal and was employed by the University's Media/Propaganda department. This department is under the direct control of the Party Commission. Since July 20, 1999, Xiaojun had traveled to Beijing many times to appeal for the constitutional rights of Falun Gong practitioners. He was detained several times.

   In July 2000, he was illegally sentenced to one year of forced labor. He was sent to Fenjin and Weizigou Forced Labor camps in Changchun city where he suffered brutal torture. He was severely injured and thus taken to the labor camp hospital. On February 12, 2002, he was released from the labor camp after more than seven months of imprisonment and immediately taken to the Xinglongshan brainwashing center for another month. Afterward, he was illegally held at Changchun Metropolitan No.3 Detention Center for nearly one month. Because he refused to renounce Falun Dafa, he was again sentenced to a three-year forced labor term in April of 2002. He was detained at the No.4 Section of Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City.

   Frustrated by their failure to successfully brainwash Bai Xiaojun and force him to renounce his belief in Falun Dafa, the vicious police instructed inmates to pour salt water onto Xiaojun's body, which was covered with scabs from the torture at the labor camps. Starting in June of 2003, Xiaojun became bedridden and was unable to eat or drink for three weeks. The labor camp authorities ordered the guards to ignore Xiaojun's deteriorating health condition. On July 18, 2003, Bai Xiaojun died at the Changchun Hospital for Infectious Disease.
