[Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] "Ten-Excellence Youth" Fan Haidong Is Detained at Xinjing Brainwashing Center

Mr. Fan Haidong, an advanced employee and "Ten-Excellence Youth" award winner from Hongguang Electronic Group of Chengdu City, had been sent to a forced labor camp for two years simply because he refused to give up his beliefs in Falun Dafa. Zhou Chuangui and Ge Shanda from the local "610 Office" ["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] are mainly responsible for this case. After the forced labor term came to an end, the "610 Office" did not release him. Instead, they transferred him to Xinjing Brainwashing Center for intensified persecution with the excuse that he persisted in his cultivation practice. Mr. Fan was forced to listen to earsplitting broadcasting programs defaming Dafa. He has now been in the brainwashing center for over one year.

In June 2001, the salaries of seventeen practitioners from Hongguang Electronic Group who had been to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong were transferred from the bank to the control of the "610 Office". Many practitioners had large sums of money extorted from them as 'fines'. For example, Tao Maihua had 2700 yuan extorted; Fan Haidong, 1200 yuan; Tang Hongmei, 3750 yuan; Li Chaoqun, 3750 yuan; Lei Xinghua, 3312 yuan; Hou Junfang, 4812 yuan [average monthly income of an ordinary worker in China is around 500 yuan]. Clerks from the "610 Office" also arrested practitioners by means of deception.

[Baotou City, Inner Mongolia] Practitioner Chi Xiaoming Is Illegally Arrested

Mr. Chi Xiaoming, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Baotou City, was arrested on December 12, 2003. The news of his arrest was blocked. The police do not allow his family members to visit him. A few days ago, a message was brought out of the prison. Police guards in the prison are very corrupt. Practitioners in detention are not provided with enough food. It is said they are given only two small steamed corn buns and two pickles a day. If practitioners' family members bring some money in, they can buy a box of fast food for eight yuan. The box is very small, not even enough for a meal.

[Huai'an City, Anhui Province] Current Situation of Local Falun Dafa Practitioners

With the joint efforts of local practitioners and practitioners outside China, with the support of all voices of justice, Ms. Sun Qirong (who had been given a heavy jail sentence) was released on bail for medical treatment on January 14, 2004.

Ms. Bo Minghua, a blind woman, was given a heavy prison term. She was taken to Suzhou Prison three times and was refused by the prison three times. As a disabled person, she meets the criteria for serving her term outside the prison based on prison regulations. However, because many people in her family practice Falun Gong (her husband and children except for Hu Yu), the "610 Office" and the Public Security Bureau in Huainan City did not want to release her on bail. They wrote a report to their superiors, asking leaders from the provincial level to pressure Suzhou Prison regarding Bo Minghua's case. Ms. Bo Minghua might be held in Suzhou Prison as an exception.

Ms. Wang Yuxiang, a 46-year-old, lives in Xinhuai Village, Tianjia'an District of Huainan City. She was arrested and detained for explaining the truth of Falun Dafa to people on January 17, 2004.

Jin Lida (gender unknown) from Huainan City has been illegally persecuted for a long time. Less than a week after release from forced labor in January 2004, he (she) was taken to the mental hospital for intensified persecution by local "610 Office".

[Jiangyuan County, Jilin Province] Zhang Gongli and Li Aidong Are Detained

Mr. Zhang Gongli from Jiangyuan County went to his brother's home to avoid illegal detention after his wife was unjustly arrested. Since his relatives did not understand the true situation, they reported on him. He is under arrest at Xieli Detention Center in Jiangyuan County (his wife Gong Qiumin, a disabled person, is being kept in custody at the same detention center). Only their daughter, a teenager, is left alone at home.

Ms. Li Aidong, in her sixties, from Jiangyuan County is being detained at the Xieli Detention Center for distributing truth-clarifying materials. People who were poisoned by the hate propaganda reported her.

[Dunhuang City, Gansu Province] Persecution in Dunhuang City
