[Northwestern China] Practitioners Display a 90-Meter-Long Banner

At noon on December 15, 2001, in order to "celebrate together, rejoice together, and exalt together" over Teacher's new article "Foretelling the Fa's Rectification of the Human World," practitioners in a city of Northwestern China hung up a 90-meter-long, (280 feet long) huge Dafa banner on the mountaintop, the summit of the city. The banner was golden-colored, with dozens of 5 meter-square word characters. It shone brilliantly in the sunlight. People said the banner could be seen clearly from the center of the city. At the same time there were countless small banners, like primroses blooming in the mountain. This feat frightened the evil forces. The authorities dispatched dozens of policemen to search the mountain. But they got nothing. Practitioners all safely returned. Some of these banners were hung up for three to four hours. These practitioners amazed all the local people.

[Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, Liaoning Province] After Two-month's Hunger Strike of Practitioner Sun Xiaomei from Dalian City is in Critical Condition

Practitioner Sun Xiaomei from Dalian City is illegally detained in No.6 group of No.2 Female Institute in the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. In order to resist the vicious persecution, she has gone on a hunger strike for 2 months. She was force-fed twice daily. Now she is in critical condition. We call on all kind-hearted people at home and abroad to help her. The police officer's name who tortures Sun Xiaomei is Zhao Jinghua.

Female practitioners Li Dongqing and Wang Xueli are also tortured in Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. Not long ago they were locked up in solitary compartments. The female police officer who tortured Li Dongqing was Lu Yaoqin. She is known as a notorious hatchet woman, for her extreme acts of persecution in this No.2 Institute. Su Jing [who has been reported before on Clearwisdom for her brutal actions], the head of No.2 Female Institute, incited all these tortures.

[Lanzhou City, Gansu Province] Officials in a Brainwashing Class Inject Practitioners with Nerve-Damaging Drugs

Police authorities from Lanzhou City kidnapped practitioners. In the Gongjiawan area of the Qilihe District, they set up another brainwashing class in a storage room of a shop. To resist the brainwashing, practitioners protested with a hunger strike.

Policemen tied up those practitioners who went on the hunger strike and forcibly injected them with a drug to mentally destroy them. Practitioners who had been injected with this substance became agitated, restless and mentally disoriented.

[Anshan City, Liaoning Province] Brutal Torture of Two Practitioners

On the afternoon of December 11, 2001, policemen from Anshan City Police Department detained practitioners Qiu Xinghua and Qiu Sihui, who are sisters, when they were clarifying the truth. As they held righteous thoughts and did not cooperate, they had to jump off the fourth floor of police department to escape the persecution. Their pelvises were fractured and they were severely injured. Now they are in the intensive care unit at Anshan City's Central Hospital for emergency treatment. When their family heard about the news and tried to visit them in the hospital, the police refused their request and guarded the ward around the clock.

The sisters, Qiu Xinghua and Qiu Sihui, firmly believe in "Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance." They had been forced to live in exile to resist the vicious persecution, leaving their kids at home with no one taking care of them. They stepped forward to clarify the truth, validate Dafa and offered salvation to people. This had greatly frightened the evil.

We could not forget that just three months ago, the vicious authorities from Anshan City's Police Department and from the "610 Office" (An agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems), tortured practitioner Yuan Zhongyu to death.

We call on kind-hearted people to rescue the sisters.

[Huadian City, Jilin Province] Illegal Detention of Dafa Practitioner Mao Chun and Others in the Huadian Detention Center

On January 8, 2001, officers from the city police department kidnapped Dafa practitioner Mao Chun. Their excuse was to "check on some information." On January 22, 2001, he was illegally arrested and detained in Huadian Detention Center and has been held there until now. Because the police did not have enough evidence, there was no final decision on his case. From November till December 6, 2001, Mao Chun had gone on hunger strike for 16 or 17 days to appeal for unconditional release. Due to the hunger strike, Mao Chun's throat was so swollen that it was blocked. His mouth and tongue were festering. He became emaciated and was at his last gasp of breath. His relatives couldn't even recognize him. They appealed to Zhou Jian, the official of the Political and Judiciary Committee and the head of "610 Office." (The "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems). Zhou Jian asked them to go to appeal to the Supreme Court of the province. There wasn't any reply the following day. The relatives asked the detention center to send Mao Chun to a hospital but they were refused. Although Mao Chun is in such serious condition, Zhou Jian told his relatives, "Someone will take care of it if anything goes wrong."

Guo Baochen, Guo Chengxiang and Duan Liangjun are also detained for extended periods of time.

[Beijing] Record of Criminal Acts by the Lawless Officials in China's Space Flight Industry Company

Officials at the state-run China Space Flight Industry Company are going too far in persecuting Dafa practitioners. They try their best to cooperate with lawless policemen who search for Dafa practitioners in the company who are living in hiding to avoid vicious persecution and send them to jail or brainwashing classes.

[Jiayu County, China] "610" Office Deceives and Kidnaps Dafa Practitioners and Extorts Money from Them

I am a practitioner from Jiayu County. Since July 20, 1999, I have been deceived into the detention center from my home four times and have also been fined because I steadfastly cultivated Dafa and have refused to cooperate with the police criminals. They also extorted money from many practitioners in my county.

In January 2001 I heard that they would arrest me again. I left home that night and worked in other places. The authorities wrote a "promise statement" with the official seals of the police department, the "610 Office" and the county government, saying that if I would return home they would not detain or fine me anymore. My innocent and honest relatives trusted them. As a result, the officers once again detained me in the police department and asked my relatives to pay money for my release. Because my family really couldn't afford the money, I was detained in the detention center again. I took chance and stepped out of the detention center. Now I am homeless and cannot return home.

[Pingquan County, Hebei Province] Some Facts About the Persecution of Dafa Practitioners

Practitioner Liu Yuzhi from Pingquan County, Hebei Province went to Beijing four times to validate Dafa. Later she practiced in front of the Pingquan Detention Center, appealing for the release of Dafa practitioners. She went on a hunger strike for more than 40 days in the detention center. After that, she was sent to a forced labor camp in Tangshan City. She was only released after she had been tortured to the point of becoming mentally disoriented.

Practitioner Shi Yan went to Beijing five times to validate Dafa. (He went on a hunger strike many times). The last time he and several other practitioners unfurled a big banner in Tiananmen Square. Because the police car was full, he and his wife were not taken away. Now they are living in exile.

Practitioners Liu Wenji and Liu Wenshu are brothers. Many times they helped fellow practitioners hold group Fa-study and practice the exercises. They have been put into a detention center many times. At last, they went to Tiananmen Square to validate Dafa and were sentenced to jail. Liu Wenshu's wife Li Ruiyun was sent to a forced labor camp after she went to Tiananmen Square to validate Dafa. Their sons Liu Yi and Liu Bao have now become destitute and homeless.

Practitioner Wang Shuwen, his wife Liu Yulan and his brother Wang Jinquan were illegally sent to a forced labor camp because they went to Beijing to validate Dafa and distribute truth-clarifying materials.

[Anhui Province] Practitioners and Righteous People Resist Brainwashing Classes

It was reported that recently many practitioners from Anhui Province successively went to Tiananmen Square to validate Dafa. Fa-rectification banners also appeared at many places in the local area. This has effectively eliminated the evil and awakened the conscience of everyday people. Under the evil's persecution in the brainwashing classes, more and more practitioners firmly went to Tiananmen Square. They sufficiently validated that "coercion can't change people's hearts," and also declared the termination of the brainwashing classes. It is reported that the evil's brainwashing classes were hard to carry through because of the resistance from practitioners, officials from relevant units and some everyday people who became more and more clear-minded.

[Xiangfan City, Hubei Province] The Persecution Case of Falun Gong Practitioners

1, Tang Jianhua, because of her firm belief in Falun Dafa, the local policemen have searched her house many times and even illegally took away all her cash and bankbooks. Tang Jianhua reasonably asked them to return the property many times. Wang Feng, a policeman from the Zhongyuan Police Station, said, "Only if you give up practicing Falun Gong, can we return your property."

2, Liu Weishan, female, 40 years old, was a teacher of an affiliated school of the Hanjiang Machinery Factory. One day this year, personnel from the security section of the unit entrapped and arrested her at her work place. Then she was illegally detained at the "education classes" held in a forced labor camp in Xiangfan City, and suffered abuses and tortures. Now her living condition is so poor that she has to beg for food.

We appeal to all kind-hearted people with a sense of justice to support and help us.

[Shayang County, Hubei Province] The Inside Story of the Shayang Forced Labor Camp

On November 17, 2001, an article named "The Evil Shayang Forced Labor Camp of Hubei Province" was published. While the investigation and verification as well as exposing the evil were going on, we were shocked to discover an even more severe plot behind the scenes-- the strict management team.

The practitioners unlawfully detained in the labor camp are divided into groups as follows: female practitioners are detained in team No. 2 and team No. 9; male practitioners are detained in team No. 3 and the strict management team. The guards instructed criminals to implement the policy of "several people besieging one practitioner." They took turns to watch practitioners day and night.

[Chongqing City, Sichuan Province] Practitioners in Yubei District Suffer Persecution

In the past two years, under the horrible persecution led by Jiang Zemin and Luo Gan, some lawless officials in Yubei District have been closely following the political directives of Jiang Zemin and Luo Gan regime to do bad deeds. As a result, a lot of practitioners have been thrown into prisons and suffered from brutal persecution. Up until now, according to incomplete statistics, in Yubei District alone, practitioners being illegally held or being illegally held for an extended period of time include: Wang Yan (female), Tan Fenghao, Wen Zuming, Li Zhi, Tang Bing, He Xiurong (female), He Youli, Xiao Zeju, Pu Zhangzhi, Deng Jialin, Zhang Hua'an, Bai Shikai, Wang Xiaoxia (female), Peng Xiuling (female), Zheng Xiaoqin (female), Chen Li (female), Du Juan (female), Li Lijun (female) and Tian Qimei (female), etc. They are being illegally detained at Yubei District Detention Center and Chongqing Forced Labor Camp.

Among them:

1. In January 2001, Wang Yan and Tan Fenghao were taken away when hanging up Dafa banners. They were illegally sentenced to 4 years of forced labor.
2. In September 2000, Li Zhi and Tang Bing were arrested while distributing truth-clarifying materials. On December 5, 2001, when the Yubei District Court held the so-called "open trial," the police didn't allow the practitioners' family members and other people to attend. They secretly carried out the illegal "trial" behind closed doors.
3. On September 1, 2000, He Xiurong and He Youli were arrested while distributing truth-clarifying materials. They have been illegally detained for more than one year and their current situations are unknown.
4. Practitioner He Tingxuan is missing after being listed as wanted on the Internet by the Chongqing Police Department. His life-and-death situation is unknown.

After being tortured both mentally and physically by the scofflaw policemen and instigated drug addicts, practitioners Zheng Yongchen, Huang Enju, Chen Changying, Bai Shuying, Wang Aihua and Tang Li, who all have been illegally held at Chongqing Women's Forced Labor Camp for an extended period of time, are now out of prison. However, they are not really free. They are constantly being monitored and followed by policemen and the wicked persons bought out to do this.

Under the instructions of the local "610 Office," the two brainwashing classes in Yubei District and Chuandong Oil Base forced each and every practitioner to pay 5,000 Yuan. They forced every practitioner to write the so-called "Guarantee Letter" to renounce Falun Dafa; otherwise they would not release practitioners.

[Changchun City, Jilin Province] Please Continue to Pay Attention to Practitioner Li Yongjun's Situation

Practitioner Li Yongjun being held at Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp on an extended term is now conducting a hunger strike. Around December 9, 2001, she was put into solitary confinement and cruelly tortured.

[Tumen City, Jilin Province] Practitioners in Tumen City Suffer Persecution

On September 9, the police duped some practitioners into a mountain area and set up a brainwashing class there. Practitioners refused to cooperate with them. A man called "Director Zhang" ordered the policemen to forcibly carry practitioner Liu Zhenli into the police wagon and send him to the Tumen Detention Center. The practitioners carried out a hunger strike there. A practitioner sat in the meditation exercise just in front of the policemen and was dragged to the 2^nd floor by the furious policemen. The other practitioners warned the policemen not to beat or take the practitioner away. They collectively sent forth righteous thoughts, and as a result, the policemen on the 2nd floor didn't beat that practitioner and talked with the practitioner in a nice manner. Shortly afterwards, they sent the practitioner back.

There were four practitioners being sent to the detention center. Xue Xiuhua (female) continued her hunger strike in the detention center. A director together with several guards attempted to force feed her; they even cut the practitioner's throat. On the second time when they were force-feeding her, the other practitioners collectively sent forth righteous thoughts, so the guard failed to do so and had to finish it hastily.

Some guards there were extremely cruel. A female guard with the last name of "Dai" told prisoners to beat practitioners whenever they are seen doing the exercises. A practitioner named Mo Liying (female) tried to persuade her not to do evil. However, she handcuffed the practitioner's hands to the iron window bars. During Xue Xiuhua's twelve-day hunger strike, two guards viciously told prisoners that, "It doesn't matter if she dies, all you need to do is inform us."

Under the instruction of section chief Cui of Political & Judiciary Committee, the police broke practitioner Liu Zhenli's leg and dumped him back home.

Three practitioners were sent to brainwashing class one month after being released. They were caught after they were forced to leave home. Among them is an over-60-year-old woman. A poisonous snake bit her when the criminal police forced her head under water in a river. She didn't get treatment in time and nearly lost her life. The other two practitioners were beaten by Minister Nong Zhigao until they had bruises all over their faces and arms. Their wounds could not recover even after more than 20 days. In September, another six practitioners were illegally sentenced to forced labor camp. On the eve of October 1, the ruffians again arrested a lot of practitioners and put them in the detention center. Nong Zhigao even got promoted for doing this.

[Chongqing City, Sichuan Province] A Dafa Practitioner from Yubei District is Kidnapped

On December 9, practitioner Tian Qimei (female) from Yubei District was taken away by police officers when posting truth-clarifying materials. Her situation is unknown now.
