Teaching the Fa in San Francisco, 2005

(Li Hongzhi -- November 5, 2005)

(Roaring applause. Students say, "Hello Master!")

Good morning! (Applause. Students: "Master, please sit.") If I stand you can see me better. You've been working hard. (Applause) I haven't been out West for quite some time, and all along I've wished to see you. Now is the time of Dafa disciples validating the Fa and saving sentient beings, and you have labored hard. But regardless of the situation, Dafa disciples are now maturing ever more fully. And as the overall Fa-rectification process has moved forward continuously, the overall situation has changed a great deal.

Persecution of Dafa Practitioners by the Public Security Bureau in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province

(Clearwisdom.net)

The following is evidence about the brutal persecution of Dafa practitioners by Yan Zhiyou from the Qiaodong Branch Public Security Bureau in Zhangjiakou City.

On October 24, 2000, a group of thirteen Dafa practitioners from Zhangjiakou City went to Beijing to appeal against the persecution of Falun Gong. They released a flock of doves as a symbol of the peaceful validation of Dafa. However, they were arrested by police from the Qiaodong District Branch Public Security Bureau when they were near Xiahuayuan. Under the direct supervision of Zhangjiakou City Public Security Bureau Chief Li Jingyun, Qiaodong branch Public Security Bureau Chief Yan Zhiyou and his assistant Ma Fuwei directed deputies from the 1^st and 3^rd vice squad of the Qiaodong Branch Bureau, as well as the subordinates police stations Wuyi, Hongqilou, and Gongyejie, to interrogate, torture, coerce, apply tiger bench torture to, force feed, and deprive sleep from detained Dafa practitioners. After more than 60 days of torture and detention, three practitioners were arrested, awaiting for a trial and sentencing, and six practitioners were sent to the Gaoyang Labor Camp in Baoding City, Hebei Province. The Gaoyang Labor Camp refused to accept these six practitioners because of their extremely frail conditions as a result of the torture. Ma Fuwei bribed the labor camp officials before they finally accepted the practitioners. One practitioner, Ms. Sun Yumei, suffered edema (swollen and bloated body) and was released by the labor camp within a few days. She died in October 2001 because her health had severely deteriorated. Ms. Fang Xiuzhen was released by the labor camp after half a year and was found to have brain cancer. She remains paralyzed to this day.
