Liu Wei, a Dafa practitioner from Shenyang City, formerly was a policeman who is now being detained in the Zaohua Jail in Shenyang for practicing Falun Gong. He obtained Dafa in 1995. In 1999, after the Jiang Regime started to persecute Dafa, Liu Wei went to Beijing to appeal twice and was denied his constitutional right to appeal and sent to a labor camp without trial for a period of one year. During that period he broke down under the high pressure and coercive measures to force him to renounce his belief After being released from the labor camp, he became clear minded and realized his mistake, renewed his belief in Dafa and continued to participate in the Fa-rectification. On May 23, 2001, he was reported by others, arrested and detained in the Dongling Detention Center. During this period, he did not accept fabricated charges and remained diligent in his belief in Dafa. As a result, the authorities detained him in a small cell, with handcuffs and shackles, and tortured him during the course of one and half years. He became extremely weak with edema all over the body, experienced difficulty walking, found his vision to be failing and became very thin compared to his previous 90 kilograms. Recently, the Dongling Law Court unconstitutionally sentenced him to five years in jail. He appealed but the Shenyang Middle Level Law Court refused to accept his appeal. In order to resist the persecution, Liu Wei went on a hunger strike. Now, he is detained in the Dongling Jail. There are dozens of Dafa practitioners in this jail. They all have a firm belief in Dafa.

They tortured Xiao Zhao by piercing her ten fingers through with pushpins. However, she endured their torture. Later that night, she left the labor camp using her righteous thoughts and walked out.

In July 2002 Little Zhao was arrested again. Police utilized a variety of torture including electrical shocks to her nipples, hanging her up, burning her palms, squeezing her toes using pliers, but she never compromised. She held firm to: "Just by staying unaffected, you will be able to handle all situations." ("Lecture on the Fa at the U.S. Midwest Conference")

On every festive occasion and sensitive date, police 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.] in Enping City go to practitioners' homes and work units to continuously harass them. Police also monitored Falun Dafa practitioners' actions and home telephones 24 hours a day. They put local Falun Dafa practitioners under house arrest and frequently detain them without legal procedure for over one week before releasing them. They often persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners this way and cause practitioners' family members great amounts of stress and worry.

12. [Mengzhou City, Henan Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners in Mengzhou City Detention Center Firmly Resist the Persecution

Falun Dafa practitioners who are illegally detained in Mengzhou City Dentention Center firmly resist the persecution. They refuse to do the slave labor, or be put "on duty." To create a righteous environment in the camp they have had to resort to shouting, "Falun Dafa is good," practicing the exercises and sending forth righteous thoughts every day. The police became very anxious due to being unable to get them to give up their belief and transferred three determined female Falun Dafa practitioners: Wang Yuhua, Yao Guijiao and Qian Shanglan to detention centers in other counties and cities. For a period of time, the guards did not dare to close the door of their cell and always asked the prisoners in the cell to close the door. These three Falun Dafa practitioners firmly believe in Master, in Dafa, and refused to comply with the evil, and were released from the evil den before December 20.

In order to achieve a so-called "transformation quota," Sanshui Forced Labor Camp in Guangdong Province has taken measures against determined Falun Dafa practitioners since late December 2002. The guards covered the eyes of 60 determined male Falun Dafa practitioners, brought them to prepared secret rooms and beat them cruelly. Most of the practitioners' faces, hands, feet and bodies were seriously injured, some were barely breathing. Among them, only one person was released on bail to seek medical treatment, some people were forcibly committed to the mental hospital for further torture although they were completely mentally healthy. During that time, family members were not allowed to visit them. The means used to force female Falun Dafa practitioners to give up their belief are even crueler.

15. [China] Confession of the Lawless "610" Officials

Recently, while I was chatting with a good friend who works for the government, he exposed the crimes of the lawless "610" officials. I asked him, "What are you doing right now?"

He said, "After the 16th People's Congress, all the departments are changing their leaders, the people in the departments are all making full use of their abilities to buy official positions! Who doesn't want to get a lucrative post?" "Which are the lucrative posts?" I asked.

"There are many lucrative posts; the positions in charge of suppressing Falun Gong are lucrative posts. The higher authorities generously allocate funds to them and they also concoct various pretexts to extort money. They live in hotels and indulge in whatever they desire every day. They can take credit and earn awards with little achievement. It is really both winning a promotion and getting rich. They shamelessly say, "Suppressing Falun Gong creates so many employment opportunities for people like us!"
