2. [Beijing] Violence Against Dafa Practitioners In the Basement of the Beijing Public Security Hospital

Since 2002, police officers in Beijing have rounded up Dafa practitioners who did not reveal their names and addresses and/or went on hunger strikes during previous detentions. The practitioners are kept in the basement of the Beijing Public Security Hospital. While there, Dafa practitioners are stripped by police officers and bound to beds, and then force-fed or injected with fluids by criminals. Some police officers filled plastic baskets with irritating chemicals, attach the baskets to Dafa practitioners heads, and then hit the baskets with wooden sticks to cause hidden injuries to Dafa practitioners' brains.

4. [Wuhan, Hubei Province] Zhu Yangchun, a Retiree at the Yujiatou Campus of the Wuhan Polytechnic University Is Detained Once Again

On June 27, 2003 sometime between 12:00 am and 2:00 pm, Dafa practitioner Zhu Chunyang, who is over 60 year old, was arrested by police officers from her home. It was the sixth time Ms. Zhu was illegally arrested. People involved in the arrest included two police officers from the Wuhan City Public Security Bureau, officers from the Yangyuan Police Station, and Security Guards from the Yujiatou campus. The officers called several of Zhu's daughters to the scene, searched Zhu's home, and took Zhu away after alleging that she was still "active." Currently, Zhu is detained at the Wuhan City First Detention Center.

Phone number of the Yujiatou Campus Security Office Reporting Center: 86-27-86551692.

5. [Liaoning Province] The Words "International Trial of Jiang Zemin" in Huge Letters Is Posted On a Intersection Bridge in a City

On July 16, 2003, the words "Please Remember that Falun Dafa Is Good! International Trial of Jiang Zemin" in huge letters was posted on a intersection bridge in a city in Liaoning. The banner was very eye catching. Passersby looked up to read it.

6. [Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioner Jiao Zhihua Openly Walks Out of the Detention Center

In the evening on June 30, Jiao Zhihua was arrested from home by police officers of the Chaoyang County and held at the County Detention Center. When Jiao went on a hunger strike to protest, he/she was struck with electric batons and force-fed. Jiao's hands and feet were shackled with fetters weighing 19 kg. With a firm belief in Dafa, Jiao did not give up. Ten days after the arrest, Jiao openly walked out of the detention center.

On July 8, 2003, Dafa practitioner Ms. Feng Li was arrested from her home by police officers from the Chaoyang County. Police officers extorted 2000 Yuan [Chinese currency, the monthly salary for an average Chinese urban worker is about 500 Yuan] from her family before releasing her.

7. [Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] Taihe District Dafa Practitioner He Tao Is Illegally Sentenced

Mr. He Tao was arrested from his home by police officers. He was sentenced to prison and sent to the Dabei Jail.

8. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] A Dafa Practitioner That Lives On Xiangbin Road Is Monitored and Tailed by Agents in Recent Days

9. [Nanmusi Forced Labor Camp, Sichuan Province] New Conspiracies to Deceive Dafa Practitioners to Give Up the Practice

Recently, Group head Li of the Nanmusi Women's Forced Labor Camp searched for former Dafa practitioners who had given up their practice under pressure to come back to the camp so they could become collaborators and persuade detained Dafa practitioners to give up the practice. The "610 office" [a bureau specifically created by the Chinese government to persecute Falun Gong. It has absolute power over each level of administration in the Party, as well as over the political and judiciary branches] had told the detained practitioners that they could go back to their original work units to work or the "610 office" would find them jobs if they gave up the practice. But the truth is that no jobs were available for them. So Li could not recruit enough former practitioners to fill his attempts. Only a few people that had some other source income were taken to the labour camp to be used to deceive detained Dafa practitioners.

10. [Suining City, Sichuan Province] Falun Gong Practitioner Li Zhumin Is Fined Many Times and Forced to Leave His Home

Mr. Li Zhumin is 45 years old and lives in the Hengshan area in the downtown District. One night in February 2002, while posting "Falun Dafa is good" slogans, he was arrested by the Hengshan Police and then detained at the City Detention Center for two months. Police threatened to sentence him to two and a half years in jail. His family members spent 18,000 Yuan and appealed to all their connections to help get Li released. After Li was released, officers from the Xining Police Station searched his home and found Teacher's Articles. Li was arrested and taken to the Xining Police station. He was tortured that night. His liver was severely damaged by the torture and he was left in a critical situation. Only then was he sent to the Suining Hospital for emergency treatment. The second day, police asked his family to pay 2000 Yuan to pick up him. After his injuries were healed, police went to his home to arrest him. Li had to leave his home to avoid further persecution.
