[Dehui City, Jilin Province] Thirteen Falun Dafa Practitioners Secretly Transferred to Other Prisons

On January 15, 2004, for the third time, the Changchun Intermediate Court held an unlawful trial at the Dehui Municipal Court, to illegally sentence thirteen Falun Dafa practitioners who were detained after having completed prior terms. After their trial, the thirteen practitioners were immediately transferred to prisons outside the city. Female practitioners were sent to Changchun Prison (details unknown) while male practitioners were detained at the No.2 Prison in Jilin Province. It was reported that practitioner Sun Qian's life is in great danger because he has been on hunger strike for over 100 days. The No.2 Prison would not accept him because of his medical condition. In spite of the danger to Sun Qian's life, the Dehui Public Security Bureau transferred Sun Qian to the No. 2 Prison the next day. A further investigation into this matter is being made.

[Panshan County, Liaoning Province] Yan Changjun and Kan Guihong Abducted

Practitioners Yan Changjun and Kan Guihong from Huanxiling, Guoweichang of Panshan County were abducted by police while posting truth-clarifying flyers on the evening of January 9, 2004. Police from the Nanjingzi Border Defense Police Substation sent them to the Panshan Detention Center.

Kan Guihong was transferred to the Panjin Detention Center after a ten-day hunger strike to protest her illegal detention. At the Panjin Detention Center, she was force-fed.

[Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, Liaoning Province] Using Righteous Thoughts to Resist Perpetrators at Masanjia

Zhao Yonghua from Shenyang City, and Yuan Shuzhen from Fushun City, former Falun Gong practitioners who turned against Dafa under torture [collaborators], were hired at high pay levels by the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp to assist in the brainwashing of Falun Dafa practitioners. They are completely opposed to Dafa, damaging Dafa and persecuting Dafa practitioners.

Masanjia Forced Labor Camp formally hired Zhao Yonghua as a guard with salary and Yuan Shuzhen as an unofficial associate police guard with a monthly stipend. The camp also hired other collaborators on a part-time basis. These people are scoundrels employed by Su Jing, the brutal head of the No.2 Women's Camp at Masanjia, to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. Other forced labor camps also hired collaborators to persecute Dafa practitioners. Although the collaborators are not in uniform, they rely on more deceptive tactics than the regular police guards.

[Panjin City, Liaoning Province] Vicious People Report Falun Dafa Practitioners for Personal Interest

Sun Xiaoli and Sun Zhiqiang from Mazhangfang, Weichang, Yangquanzi of Panjin City, reported practitioners Wang Jian and Ma Fuyao for the price of 500 Yuan. As a result, the two practitioners were illegally arrested by Yanquanzi Police Substation and detained at Panshan Detention Center. We would hope that people who are still unaware of the truth do not seek to gratify their temporary interests at the expense of their conscience.

[Henan Province] Opera Company Defames Dafa for Political Favor

On January 13, 2004, Henan Daily published an article defaming Falun Dafa and promoting a modern Yu style Opera they call, "Birthday". The opera was written by political staff 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 association with the Provincial Intellectual Civilization Office, the Provincial Cultural Department and the Provincial Science Association. It was performed by the Leihe Art Group and the content was assigned by the "610 Office".

Since November 2003, the opera has been performed across the province. To this date, it has been performed 40 times in thirteen cities, including Luoyang and Lehe in the province. An audience of over 70,000 was directly harmed by the defamatory content. The news was published by Zhengzhou Net on January 14, by Henan Agricultural University Net on January 13, and by Henan Paper Net on January 13, 2004.

[Weibei Prison, Shandong Province] Violence in the Intensive Training Team

This news is from Dafa practitioners being detained in Weibei Prison, Weifang City, Shandong Province. This report is simply written although in fact, the persecution is far worse than described here. We hope that people of goodwill pay attention to it.

"Civil Transformation": At first, three to five hours of sleep were allowed, although not even one hour is allowed anymore.

"Violent Transformation": Beatings, abuse, threats, electric shocks to the head, solitary confinement, etc. In addition, seven electric prods were used to shock the key parts of the body in order to "transform" [brainwash] Falun Dafa practitioners until they renounce their belief, until the prods ran out of battery charge.

Dafa practitioners jailed at Weibei Prison request that international human rights organizations investigate the situation at the prison.

[Beijing City] Li Bing Illegally Sentenced to Prison

Mr. Li Bing, 35 years old, lives at Weigong Village of Haiding District. Police from the National Security Team in Chaoyang District arrested him in mid April 2002, simply because he practices Falun Dafa. At the same time, Ms. Wang, a teacher, was arrested as well. Her whereabouts are still unknown.

Li Bing was illegally sentenced to nine years in prison at Tongzhou District Court and is being detained at Jingshan Transit Line, Chadian Station (106-9) in Tianjin City. We hope that fellow practitioners will send forth righteous thoughts together to eliminate the vicious persecution in Beijing, strengthen clarification of the truth and expose the evil.

[Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Peninsula Morning News Covers the Crimes Committed by Jiang's Regime

On January 8, 2004, Peninsula Morning News published an article titled "Dalian Reaches 'Zero' Over Term Detention" on page 12. It was reported that, "On December 19, 2003, the number of people who were detained beyond the completion of their terms dropped from a maximum of 144 to zero. When the article was published on January 7, 2004, there was not even one person being detained beyond their terms." "Usually, cases regarding prolonged detentions are handled by the Inspection Office at the labor camp. Cases concerning detentions of one year or more beyond the original term, are handled by the relevant department heads of the municipal inspection department who personally go to the labor camp. Cases of over term detention are punished severely and are dealt with by the chief procurator ."

Despite this, Falun Dafa practitioners are still being detained after completing their terms at Dalian Prison and in forced labor camps. The Dalian municipal government uses media outlets to publish fabricated stories in an attempt to cover up the crimes they have committed in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners.

[Hebei Province] Du Rongfang Unlawfully Arrested Again

Ms. Du Rongfang had been illegally detained in the Beijing Female Forced Labor Camp, where she was subject to all kinds of torture. Her initial term was extended by ten months simply because she would not renounce her belief. In November 2003, her extended term also came to an end. Officials at the forced labor camp informed the public security bureau in her hometown to pick her up and she was told that she would be sent back home. Instead, she was transferred to another detention place and subjected to intensive brainwashing.

[Langfang City, Hebei Province] Officers in Anci District Spread Rumors to Frame Falun Dafa Practitioners

The village governors and Party Secretaries recently attended a meeting at Shijiawu Township in Anci District. Xing Yongfa, Party Secretary of the Politics & Law Committee, spread lies at the meeting. He said, "Falun Gong practitioner X. X., will stage a self-immolation in Beijing during the Chinese Lunar New Year. Murderers can always wait but Falun Gong has to be dealt with first." He also forced the village authority and Party Secretaries to pressure practitioners financially (he held on to an agricultural subsidy of 2,000 yuan that was supposed to be given to the practitioners with farms), which severely interfered with practitioners' normal lives. Some practitioners were forced to leave their homes and became destitute.
