Facts of the Persecution

Ms. Liu Lihua, a 37-year-old Dafa practitioner, made VCDs to expose the slander against Falun Dafa. On June 9, 2002, perpetrators from the Hailin City Police Department in Heilongjiang Province abducted her and tortured her for seven days and nights, during which time she lost consciousness many times. Later, Ms. Liu was sentenced to seven years in prison and was sent to the Hailin City Detention Center. She is currently being held at the Heilongjiang Provincial Women's Prison.

The perpetrators at the Shuanghe Forced Labor Camp in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province continue to torture Dafa practitioners. Wang Min, the deputy head of the labor camp, often verbally abuses the founder of Falun Gong. He shocked Dafa practitioners with electric batons and hung them up; he detained Dafa practitioners in solitary confinement cells and tried to force them to write a "Guarantee Statement." Guo Li, the head of the labor camp, was appointed as the head of the Administration Section. Guo Li mentally tormented practitioners.

Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhou Shumei is around 45 years of age and lived in the Hongkou District, Shanghai. On June 9, 2004, Tian Guangqing, a local police officer, abducted her and ransacked her home. Zhou Shumei was held at the Hongkou District Detention Center. Soon, Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Meihua, who lives in the same neighborhood as Zhou Shumei, was arrested and held for over one month. Later she was directly sent to a brainwashing class in Shanghai. Wang Meihua's husband could not endure the harassment and proposed a divorce. Her young child is currently uncared for due to the persecution.

Two five-year-old twin sisters, Wang Yuyi and Wang Yutian, wrote "Falun Dafa is great" on the wall of their kindergarten, and their father and paternal grandmother, who were deceived by the lies of Jiang's regime, prohibited them from seeing their mother and maternal grandmother who practice Falun Gong.

In April 2004, Fu Guisheng and Wang Aishu, the secretary and head of Tianjinggou Village, Caisang Town reported three Dafa practitioners who distributed truth clarification materials. As a result, six practitioners were arrested and their homes were ransacked. Guo Xiaobing, head of the Caisang Town Police Department dispatched police to arrest Dafa practitioners. They broke into the practitioners' homes at midnight and threatened the practitioners.
