Facts of the Persecution

1) Policeman Zhang Xueping of Changli County, Hebei Province hired over thirty people to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners at a brainwashing program that has lasted for an extended period of time. Dafa practitioner Ms.Guo Shuying has now been illegally detained for nearly three years. She remains steadfast in her practice of Falun Gong and is still being illegally detained at the brainwashing center. After being detained at the forced labor camp for four years, Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang Weijin's sentence was due to end. Because he refused to renounce Falun Dafa, his basic rights were denied and he was sent to the brainwashing center for nearly a whole year, where he was deprived of sleep for a long period of time.

2) The following is a report from Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Shi Yuen about the illegal acts committed by personnel from the No. 2 Vocational School and the Panlong Police Bureau in Kunming City on June 2, 2004: The Panlong Police Bureau National Security Team Leader, Li Jinchang, and Kunming City's No. 2 Vocational School Deputy Principal, He Huaqiang, came to search my home. From June 2 to July 7, the Panlong National Security Team called my husband, Jiang Yuliu, in for interrogation on five separate occasions. On July 7, my husband was abducted from home. I was sent directly to the No. 2 Forced Labor Camp in Yunnan Province. On July 9, as soon as I stepped out of the labor camp, I was ready to hand in a letter of appeal to the People's Government of Kunming City. However, Principal Wan Jianguo, Cen Bing, Deputy Principal He Huaqiang and a couple of others abducted me and forced me into a vehicle despite the fact that I was over four months pregnant. They sent me to a school campus in the suburban area, and ordered me to stay in the dormitory until further notice. Later, after I went on a hunger strike to protest their illegal actions, I was finally released and allowed to return home that night at 7:30 p.m.
