1. [China] Many Channels of CCTV Broadcast the Truth about Falun Gong Nationwide

On the evening of June 23rd, several channels of CCTV using a satellite to broadcast programs to rural areas simultaneously broadcasted the truth about Falun Gong for about five minutes. Many in vast rural areas could see it directly. Now, Jiang's regime is terrified. They have rented other satellites for backups and are using more fiber optic cables to broadcast the programs. They still have not found the source of the signal transmission and recently, there are more transmissions reaching many areas.

2. [Beijing] Falun Dafa Practitioner Liu Xiao Suffers Mental Collapse from Torture

Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Xiao is from the Histology Teaching and Research Section, Fundamental Research Department of Beijing Union Medical College. He was arrested in September 2001 and sent to Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp for 18 months. Liu Xiao was a healthy person who suffered a mental collapse from the enormous pressure of the brainwashing he was forced to undergo in Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp. The policemen were afraid to bear their responsibility for persecuting him so they claimed that he feigned his condition and assigned people to monitor him.

3. [China] Two Falun Dafa Banners

At 8:00 a.m. on May 19, while all the police in the city searched for Falun Dafa practitioners throughout the previous evening, Falun Dafa practitioners successfully sent up two hydrogen balloons with Falun Dafa banners on the square right in front of the city government. This inspired all the Falun Dafa practitioners in the city very much. Many practitioners who were relatively passive due to the strong coercion and persecution also went out of their homes to share experiences with fellow practitioners and clarify the truth to everyday people so that they may be offered salvation.

On May 20, the City Public Security Bureau assigned more than 20 policemen to form a "Special Case Team" in a vain attempt to investigate and solve their "case." On the same day, more than 20 fellow practitioners were arrested and sent to the Politics and Security Section of the Public Security Bureau. Falun Dafa practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts together, and as a result, the policemen just hastily questioned each Falun Dafa practitioner and let them go. It is thus clear that our pure righteous thoughts are very powerful. As of now, there are still special vehicles patrolling the square and plain clothes policemen waiting to arrest Falun Dafa practitioners.

7. [Yongzhou City, Hunan Province] Eager for Promotions, the "610" Personnel Persecutes Middle School Students

Qiyang County, Yongzhou City of Hunan Province collaborated with the "610 Office" of Qidong County. They went to young Falun Dafa practitioner Tan Jiming's school to arrest him but failed, as he was absent. Soon, the "610" personnel broke into and ransacked his home so Tan was forced to leave home. Later, Tan's mother asked the Director of the Police Station for an explanation. She learned the "610 Office" suspected her son to be a contact person for Dafa materials in Qidong and Qiyang Counties and to possess information about the location of the materials site.

It is reported that a reward of a promotion was offered to anyone with information on the Dafa materials site.
