(Clearwisdom.net) For immediate distribution to related departments and agencies: Those who continue to commit crimes after receiving this notice will be monitored and tracked globally.

According to reliable sources, the staff at Tianjin First Central Hospital (also known as Oriental Organ Transplant Center) performed a dramatically increased number of liver and kidney transplants in late March 2006. The surgeries were always performed at night. The operating rooms are located on 11th and 12th floors; monitoring rooms are on the 6th floor; and patients' rooms are on 4th and 7th floors. Patients preparing to receive the organs wait in several hotels in Tianjin City including: Huaxia Hotel (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th floors) and Tiancai Hotel (24th and 25th floors).

After the revelation of the Sujiatun concentration camp harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' bodily organs for profit and the existence of a huge organ bank of living human beings in China, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) immediately passed a law prohibiting the sale of human organs. However, the CCP deferred application of the law to July 1, 2006. It is likely that the CCP will murder witnesses and destroy evidence prior to this date. At this critical time, the staff at Tianjin First Central Hospital has suddenly increased the number of liver and kidney transplants being performed. The timing, speed, and quantity of the organ transplant operations are all very suspicious.

According to rules accepted by hospitals worldwide, complete and detailed personal information about the donor must be available for each case of organ transplant. The information should include the donor's gender, age, address, profession, cause of death, physical state immediate after death, blood type, health condition, and a lawfully notarized statement from the donor voluntarily donating the organ(s).

The WOIPFG is paying close attention to each transplant case performed in Tianjin First Central Hospital, especially operations performed after WOIPFG's notice about the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. People who authorize or directly participate in the operations and people who provide or buy organs are all primary targets of the investigation. People involved in transplant operations where personal information about the donor is incomplete or falsified will all be listed as murder suspects and prosecuted.

Liver Transplant Group: Zhu Zhijun, Zheng Hong, Deng Yonglin, Pan Cheng, Zhang Jianjun, Zhang Yamin, Jiang Wentao, Gao Wei, Li Yanjun, Zhang Quansheng, Zhang Wenhui, Zhang Weiye, Wang Zifa, Zang Yunjin, Zhao Laiyuan

Heavenly laws will not tolerate the inhuman crimes of the CCP harvesting organs from living people. We appeal to all kind-hearted people, including medical workers, to work together with us in monitoring these criminals.

We repeat to every individual involved in any way in these heinous acts of harvesting and selling human organs from living Falun Gong practitioners: WOIPFG will track down each and every one of you. No matter how long it takes and no matter how far and wide we have to search, we will bring each and every one of you to justice.

For seven years, Falun Dafa practitioners in Mainland China have been irrationally persecuted: arrested, imprisoned, tortured, sexually assaulted, enslaved, and even brutally killed. This brutality extends to fetuses and the elderly in their 80's alike. This persecution has torn countless families apart. Furthermore, the organs of many practitioners have been harvested and marketed internationally, and their bodies cremated afterwards. This horrific crime has violated the international convention of humanity and is also a blatant challenge to international justice.

After the exposure of the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, where organs from Falun Dafa practitioners being harvested, the communist regime has intensified its effort to eliminate all remaining inmates and witnesses, and at the same time imprisoned Falun Dafa practitioners have been relocated within the system. Practitioners detained in the Changchun Tiebei Prison have been secretly transferred, and their whereabouts are unknown. The same thing happens in many forced labor camps. Meanwhile prisons and forced labor camps (for example, Heizuizi Female Forced Labor Camp, Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp, Jilin Prison, Siping Prison etc.) continue to torture practitioners and deny their rights of family visits. Judging from that, all imprisoned Falun Dafa practitioners are facing the danger of being killed.

In addition, the communist regime secretly ordered all national security bureaus and organizations of special agents to increase their monitoring activities towards practitioners outside of prisons or labor camps, such as tapping into phone lines, stalking, and taking pictures secretly. We are being followed by police vehicles or plainclothes policemen when we are taking a trip or visiting friends and relatives. People who maintain contact with us, including non-practitioners, have been recorded, followed, and investigated. This is a threat to all the people in China.

Mr. President, you could never imagine the life of the Chinese people in Mainland China, particularly, the life of Falun Dafa practitioners. It would be a disgrace for the human race to allow such atrocities to continue. America is a democratic country where human rights are respected. The voice for democracy and justice from America will have great influence on the international community. Thereupon, we ask you kindly,

Mr. President, we believe that you and the American people will make a correct choice in this grave matter that will impact all of mankind.

(Clearwisdom.net) In our daily life, when we are driving and hear the sirens from an ambulance or fire truck, people would automatically slow down or stop the car by the side of the street, so the ambulance or fire truck can pass as fast as it can. Because people know the urgency of saving people and putting out a fire, that is a reflection of one's conscience. No one would stop the ambulance or fire truck and ask for proof for such urgency.

On March 9, 2006, the first eyewitness disclosed the secret concentration camp on the Minghui website, and on the same day, the Epoch Times published a detailed disclosure from the same eyewitness. The witness confirmed that the concentration camp had a crematorium and detained 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners. Once their organs were taken while they were still alive, their bodies were cremated immediately. The witness did not elaborate that the peak of the activities was during 2000-2003. At present, the killing for profit has slightly decreased, but the crimes still continue.

Afterwards, another witness, the ex-wife of a surgeon, provided more evidence. She mentioned that the liver, kidneys, and corneas were taken from a living person, and then the body was thrown into the incinerator. Sujiatun Concentration Camp started to operate in 2001, and its activities reached their peak in 2002. There were 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners imprisoned in the camp, and so far none has walked out alive. Corneas were taken mostly from children and older inmates. The ex-husband of this witness was deeply tormented by the brutality of what was happening.

The third witness, an older military doctor from the Shenyang area, stepped forward and confirmed the existence of the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, the prevalence of organ snatching and subsequent cremation. In addition, he pointed out that Sujiatun was only one of 36 such concentration camps in China. He also said that transporting thousands of people took only one day with a cargo train, which would be carried out at night with fully armed personnel. Since Falun Gong practioners have been classified as "class enemies", the methods used to deal with them are different.

After the Sujiatun incident was exposed, on March 27, the CCP hurriedly announced the "Human Organ Transplant Clinical Application Management Interim Provisions" notification and set the effective date as July 1, 2006. Analysts pointed out that this time lag is plenty long enough to destroy evidence of the crimes. On March 28, three weeks after the exposure of Sujiatun, a spokesman for China's Foreign Affairs Ministry openly denied the existence of Sujiatun Concentration Camp during a routine press conference and claimed that reporters from all over the world could go to China to do an inspection. It was clear that the reporters were invited for an on-site inspection only after the CCP removed evidence in the three weeks following their exposure.

On April 5, 2006, an announcement from the "International Committee to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong On-site in China"(ICIPO) pointed out that reports from China indicated organ harvesting activities started in 2001 and there were concentration camps, similar to the one in Sujiatun, all over China. Falun Gong practitioners were secretly imprisoned in concentrations camps and their organs were harvested for profit, and then the bodies were cremated to eliminate evidence.

History has left us with unforgettable lessons, such as during World War II, when the Nazis in Germany used the Jews, young and old, for live physical experiments. After the first witness reported the massive killings in the concentration camps, Western countries, including the United State, failed to pay much attention and waited for more evidence to come forth. Thus, the crimes of the Nazis continued for two more years, meanwhile 2,500,000 Jews were killed. When World War II ended, the international community made a solemn commitment that such a human tragedy would never again happen. Today, 60 years later, history is giving mankind another opportunity to right what is wrong. With the CCP killing Falun Gong practitioners daily, let's see whether human beings truly treasure such an opportunity.

The establishment of ICIPO provides us with an opportunity to save more lives. Let us help by speaking up and supporting their efforts to end this terrible persecution.

(Clearwisdom.net) I was shocked after I read the news about the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. But at the same time I thought that this kind of unbelievable information might just be falsely reported. So I felt relieved from the deep grief. But reading several related articles made me think.

With its guiding principles of violence and struggle, ever since its birth, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has never stopped killing people. They use different torture methods on people with different opinions, such as skinning people alive, boiling people alive, assault and battery, and detention in prisons and forced labor camps. The brutality of the Party's killing methods is not news to anyone.

Let's not mention what I've seen and heard in the past sixty years of the crimes the CCP has committed using the excuse of class struggle. I would like to share some of my personal experiences after I started practicing Falun Dafa with the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance to prove that the CCP is capable of committing any atrocity.

In October 1999 there was a rumor that the CCP would define Falun Gong, which teaches people to be compassionate, as a "heretical cult" organization. Falun Gong practitioners thought the CCP didn't know the truth, so many practitioners went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa or lived there to wait for the CCP's final decision. I was retired then. I was planning to go to Beijing to find a job to continue my previous profession. And of course, my main intention was to directly clarify the truth to the CCP that Falun Gong improves one's physical health as well as raises one's character. There were lots of Falun Gong practitioners living in hotels then. So I found a hotel too.

One night, after I studied the Fa, practiced the exercises and only slept for two to three hours, I was awakened by some rude knocking and shouting. Policemen broke open the front door, kicked opened the door of every room, and pulled all the visitors and Falun Gong practitioners into police cars to go to the "610 Liaison Office." They then started illegal interrogations.

They asked for my name, work place and home address. Because they searched out my professional identification, I had to tell them (because of the CCP's policy of "Guilt by Association," anybody who is related to Falun Gong practitioners who go to Beijing to appeal for Dafa, such as their families, work place management, the local police departments, management in the districts, counties, cities and provinces would get punished or fined. So many Falun Gong practitioners don't report their names when they are arrested.) Following that they asked, "Why did you come to Beijing?" I said, "Looking for a job." They asked again, "Do you practice Falun Gong?" I said, "Yes." (I didn't know then what to do with the sudden craziness of the CCP, and I underestimated the CCP's wickedness. I didn't answer the question rationally. Just because of that one word of truth, I was sentenced to two years of forced labor. During those two years, my retirement pension was taken away. I was dismissed from the evil party, as well.) I asked, "Who decided that Falun Gong practitioners are not allowed to come to Beijing?" They shouted rudely, "Shut up!"

Why was I arrested right after I came to Beijing? It turned out that the police arrested an elderly practitioner who lived in this hotel and extorted a confession from him. They used the most brutal torture methods to force him to tell about all the Falun Gong practitioners in that hotel. The CCP has a principle that it would rather kill ten thousand innocent people than let one enemy escape. So they didn't even let the visitors who came to Beijing go. I witnessed a young man from Jilin Province who came to Beijing looking for work. He was beaten and his cell phone was taken away, as well as 3,000 yuan in cash.

Most of the Dafa practitioners who were arrested with me didn't tell their names. They were sent to the Dongbeiwang Police Station in Beijing. One practitioner told me, "We were sent to the Dongbeiwang Police Station. We were beaten brutally right after we got there. Then they locked many people into an empty cell without beds or blankets. They didn't give us food. They didn't allow us to use the bathroom. They forced us to squat on our toes with bare feet and with our arms holding our knees. They also put some pushpins on the floor under our heels. It was hard enough for us to hold up just on our toes. The policemen still used electric batons on our heels. So the pushpins punctured our heels. We were forced to go through interrogations. Some practitioners were hung up from trees and subjected to electric baton shocks. I couldn't endure the torture and I told them my name. So I was sent back to the local police station and sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp."

I was held in the local detention center. There was a row of cells in the hall behind several iron doors. There was a big mattress on the floor in each cell. Right next to the mattress there was a toilet. At night, people (mostly Dafa practitioners) squeezed next to each other. During the day, they were forced to endure the "sitting board" in the tiny cell. They were not allowed to leave except when being interrogated.

There were policemen's curses and shouting in the hallway; there were screams of agony from people being force fed; and there was screaming and shouting from the mentally disoriented. People were suffering greatly.

The policemen were shouting in the hallway, "If you Falun Gong practitioners don't write the pledge, the government will send you to camps in the Northwest. You will never be able to go home."

Later, from some "reformation models" who often were in contact with people in the 610 Office, I heard that the CCP was building concentration camps that were just for detaining Falun Gong practitioners. Anybody who didn't get reformed would be sent there.

At the time, I thought what they said was just a threat, so they could achieve their purpose of reforming practitioners. I didn't really think a government, even with a tiny bit of conscience left, would do things like that. But the reality proved me wrong. The CCP's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners has reached a totally irrational level. When we understand and know the truth, we won't allow it to continue.

Let's all expose the persecution and appeal to the international community to investigate the inside story of the concentration camps. Let's rescue Dafa practitioners illegally detained in all forced labor camps, detention centers, prisons and concentration camps and collect the personal information about all the missing practitioners!

(Clearwisdom.net) The current head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will visit the U.S. next week and meet with President Bush. To stop the 7-year brutal persecution and to investigate the recently exposed atrocities of the CCP in labor camps where the regime harvests organs from living practitioners and cremates the remains to destroy evidence, at around noon of April 13, San Francisco Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference in front of the Chinese Consulate to send out their request to President Bush, asking him to bring up the following points while meeting with Hu:

1. Open up all of China's labor camps, jails and hospitals for international investigation.

2. Allow IGFG to go into China and research the facts of the persecution of Falun Gong.

Since the CCP's atrocities in the Sujiatun Concentration Camps were exposed in early March, more and more eyewitnesses have stepped forward, testifying that the regime has set up similar concentration camps nationwide to murder Falun Gong practitioners and profit from their deaths. Reporters from the Sound of Hope recently phone interviewed hospitals and transplant centers in Hubei, Shanghai, Liaoning, Beijing and Shan'xi. Many of the interviewed doctors said that patients should make good use of the current opportunity, as livers and kidneys from living donors will be available till end of this April before the traditional May 1^st long holiday in China. After this period, however, the number of available organs will decrease. Meanwhile, many Chinese doctors have acknowledged that these livers and kidneys from living donors are from Falun Gong practitioners.

Practitioner Chen Zhao pointed out that the CCP remained silent for three weeks after the atrocities were first exposed in early March. However, the regime started to respond to this claim recently and even "invited" international community to perform an investigation at Sujiatun. At the same time, its mouthpiece media outlets said that the regime will pass regulations to ban the trade of human organs. However, the regulation will not be effective until July 1.

Zhao said that all the collected evidence show that the regime is now trying to destroy evidence of its crimes. The situation in China is very urgent, as a large number of Falun Gong practitioners are facing arbitrary killing and cremation.

During Hu Jintao's visit, Zhao said that San Francisco practitioners will fly to Seattle and Washington DC to participate in large-scale truth-clarification activities and to protest against the CCP's persecution.

While the persecution of Falun Gong is spearheaded and implemented by the Jiang Zemin regime and the Chinese Communist Party, and Falun Gong practitioners have no personal issues with Hu, Zhao said that Hu is nevertheless responsible because the persecution has been going on for years since he took his current position.

"The longer the persecution lasts, the more Hu is accountable. He is at a critical moment We hope that Hu will make the right choice for his conscience and the welfare of China and all Chinese people to stop the persecution of kind-hearted people." Chen said.

The Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China (CIPFG), was initiated by the Falun Dafa Association and the Clearwisdom website recently. Chen said that local practitioner members of the CIGFG would come to the consulate to apply for visas next Monday. A press conference will be held regarding this important step of this historic investigation.

(Clearwisdom.net) On April 10 and 11, 2006, the New Zealand Supreme Court held a hearing on a lawsuit filed by 11 local Falun Gong practitioners against Jiang Zemin, Li Lanqing and Luo Guan for genocide and crimes against humanity. Dozens of practitioners attended the hearing.

During the hearing, attorney Chris Laurence expounded on the practitioners' documents submitted to the court. During his presentation, the attorney stated that the lawsuit charging Jiang and other persecution perpetrators with genocide and crimes against humanity has a far-reaching impact from the aspect of justice and conscience, even though it is a civil case. After listening to attorney Laurence, the judge stated that the case is very important and he will continue to collect comments and recommendations.

After the two-day hearing, the judge expressed his appreciation to people who attended the hearing. He said that he deeply understood that the people present were very concerned about this case. Due to its complexity and importance, he will process the case while taking similar cases in other countries into consideration.

CHINESE PHYSICIANS TELL INVESTIGATOR: ORGANS FROM LIVING FALUN GONG PRISONERS
A reporter for Sound of Hope Radio, Ms. Mei Tang, on Thursday called major organ transplant centers in China posing as someone seeking a transplant. Doctors with whom she spoke admitted that organs used came from imprisoned Falun Gong--and still living--practitioners, and that there is a temporary abundance of organs that will last only until the end of the month. Tang recorded these telephone conversations, which are available online in Mandarin Chinese (audio / transcript). The doctors' alarming statements tally closely with information reported here (link) in recent weeks. Ms. Tang called organ transplant centers in Hubei, Shaanxi, and Liaoning provinces, Beijing, Shanghai and other cities. The following are excerpts from her conversations:

Doctor "S" from Changzheng Hospital in Shanghai: "We should have a lot of organs before the end of April. We are getting more and more organs supplied to us, but you have to seize the opportunity. Do you know what I mean? After this period of time, the supply is going to become very slim. After April there will be a period where we have nothing."
Doctor "W" from the Organ Transplant Center in the No.2 Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University in Liaoning province: "You will have to get it done by May 1--this week or next week! After May 1 we will have very few organs."
Doctor "S" from Shanghai: "In China, we get our supply of human organs from the same place. How should I explain it to you...? Only we doctors know where the organs are from."
Doctor "W" from affiliated hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University in Shaanxi province: "If you want to come have an organ transplant, you need to try to come before May..."
Reporter: "Do you mean kidneys from living people?"
Doctor W from Xi'an: "Yes. We also supply livers from living people!" Reporter: "Livers from living people?" Doctor W: "Yes, yes." Reporter: "I heard they'll be harvested from living human beings." Doctor W: "Yes, Yes, Yes." Reporter: "Do some labor camps imprison Falun Gong practitioners and then harvest their organs while they're alive?" Doctor W: "(Sneering) That's right!"

TIANJIN HOSPITAL STAFF CONDUCT RECORD NUMBER OF TRANSPLANTS
According to inside sources from Tianjin, at the end of March many foreigners went to Tianjin No. 1 Hospital for liver and kidney transplants. The operations were conducted at night. The operating department is located on the 11th and 12th floors of the hospital. The sources raised the question of where so many liver and kidney donors suddenly came from. Similarly, a new investigative committee called Investigate Genocide against Falun Gong in China (IGFG), has confirmed that hospitals and transplant centers in the provinces or cities of Heilongjiang, Hunan, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Yunnan, Anhui, Shaanxi and Xinjiang are operating overtime to perform batches of transplant surgeries. Organs involved are said to come from Falun Gong adherents being executed before the upcoming July 1 legislation. (article)

MEDICAL RECORDS REPORTEDLY BEING SEALED IN JILIN HOSPITALS
A source from China reports that the medical records of patients at major hospitals in Jilin City are suddenly being sealed, with all outside access forbidden. The move is said to follow a citywide "emergency" meeting of hospitals on April 12. Police are said to be guarding major hospitals in the city, with the scene being likened to "martial law." Ambulances are said to rush into the hospitals in the evenings, for possibly overtime, illegal transplant operations as reported by other regions.

COLORADO GOVERNMENT RESOLUTION CONDEMNS PRC ABUSES
The Colorado State Senate and State House passed a joint resolution Thursday condemning the persecution of Falun Gong in China, the harassment and attacks on Falun Gong practitioners in the United States, and the practice of harvesting organs from Falun Gong members held in labor camps. The resolution (SJR06-027) was passed unanimously, and was backed by 22 Senate and 53 House cosponsors. It urges the PRC rulership to "end immediately the harassment, detention, physical abuse, and imprisonment" of citizens who practice the Falun Gong, and urges the U.S. government to issue an "official, public, diplomatic statement to the Chinese Foreign Ministry condemning China's repeated violations of basic human rights," among other things.

WORLDWIDE PROTESTS GROW, CONTINUE FOR FIFTH WEEK
On April 8 over 300 Falun Gong practitioners from Jakarta, Batam, Bali, and other Indonesian islands marched in protest of the killing of Falun Gong practitioners for their organs. In the last week alone, rallies and protests have been held in Argentina, Austria, Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, England, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, and other countries, as well as in New York, Los Angeles, Los Vegas, Washington, D.C., and many other U.S. cities. Sit-in protests opposite Chinese embassies and consulates are taking place 24 hours a day in many cities.

(Clearwisdom.net) On April 9, 2006, in Chungshan Park, Falun Gong practitioners from Montreal, Canada reenacted the live human organ harvesting taking place in China, to expose the Chinese Communist Party's bloody atrocity of stealing organs from living Falun Gong practitioners and selling them for huge profits. The group called on the Canadian government to intervene and investigate the related facilities in China where this is taking place, including forced labor camps, prisons, and hospitals.

Ms. He used English and Chinese to explain the reenactment to passersby, telling them about what is happening right now in China. She told the audience that under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Falun Gong practitioners' organs are harvested when they are still alive and then sold for huge profits. She explained that the organs for transplantation operations were not cut from dead bodies. They are from living human beings. In Sujiatun Concentration Camp, there were over 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners jailed as a living organ bank.

According to the witness who exposed the secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp, there once were about 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners jailed in the camp. In 2004, when the witness left that place, there were only 2,000 practitioners still alive. It is estimated that about 4,000 people's organs were harvested and their bodies cremated to destroy the evidence. Another witness pointed out that over 30 similar concentration camps were built all over China to carry out the same crime.

Though the crime was exposed recently, it actually started sometime in 2000 to 2001. The illegal organ harvesting is still taking place in forced labor camps, prisons and hospitals in many cities and provinces throughout China. The practice reached its peak in 2001 to 2003.

After the Sujiatun Concentration Camp was exposed by the media, the Chinese Communist Party took nearly a month to cover up the evidence. The imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners were transferred to other facilities. Insiders said that the CCP is planning to kill all of them to eliminate the witnesses and evidence.

In tears, Ms. He called on the passersby, "Please, for just one minute of your time, facing such a crime in the human world, please sign your name to support us. Please write to your representatives, urging him or her and the Canadian government to publicly investigate these inhuman crimes. Please do this out of your conscience."

A Western father and his three boys had come to Chinatown for dinner. They passed the practitioners' site. The father asked them to walk by quickly but the boys turned around to look. Later, the father pushed them away and left. Some time later, the three boys returned to the signature table and signed their names and started to help by passing out flyers. They deliberately picked up the Chinese-language newspapers and passed them out to Chinese passersby. About 30 minutes later, they had handed out all the papers. The older boy then said, "Now I am going to eat."

Exposing CCP atrocities and calling for attention to the fate of practitioners detained in concentration camps

(Clearwisdom.net) After learning about the live organ harvesting in Sujiatun Concentration Camp, one German lady said angrily, "Sixty years ago, the Nazi's seriously persecuted the Jewish people. Now sixty years have gone by, yet the CCP is still committing such a crime. The format of petitioning to the public is very necessary. Not only do we need to tell people here about this atrocity, everyone needs to know. That history should not be repeated." This lady's sentiment was shared by many.

On April 8, 2006, at Munich Karlsplatz in southern Germany, Falun Gong practitioners went to expose the atrocity of harvesting people's organs while they were still alive that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has committed. They urgently called for the public's attention on the fate of those Falun Gong practitioners who are still detained in CCP concentration camps and labour camps.

The eyewitnesses of Sujiatun Concentration Camp have been relocated and face danger of being killed

On April 5, the "Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China (CIPFG)" issued an urgent announcement. In this bulletin, it stated that since the year 2001, concentration camps have been set up in many cities and provinces in Mainland China, which are similar to the one in Sujiatun. In these concentration camps, the CCP harvested organs for sale from living Falun Gong practitioners, who are illegally and secretly detained, and cremated their remains to destroy the evidence. However, since this incident was exposed to the international society at the beginning of March 2006, within three weeks, the underground concentration camp in Sujiatun, Shenyang city has been relocated. In the meantime, many hospitals and organ transplantation centres in Mainland China are doing a large volume of organ transplantation surgeries. The investigation coalition urgently calls for the international society to immediate investigate these crimes and put a stop to them.

There was a great number of people at the Munich Karlsplatz, and many of them gathered around the Falun Gong practitioners' stall after seeing the banner with the words, "Chinese Communist Party concentration camps cremate Falun Gong practitioners and sell their organs" in Chinese and German. Falun Gong practitioners repeatedly broadcasted the Urgent Announcement issued by the Clearwisdom website on April 5. A lot of people came to sign the petition and condemned the CCP's atrocities.

A German lady named Eva explained that she signed the petition to condemn the CCP's crimes and to help end the existence of concentration camps. She said that it was terrible that it happened in Germany sixty years ago, and now the CCP is doing the same thing and even persecuting people for their faith.

Mr. Ameite from Turkey was very shocked. He said that this atrocity is simply intolerable and we must stop it immediately.

Mr Benhart denounced this as murder. He signed the petition in the hopes that more politicians will understand and pay attention to this atrocity.

Ms. Caty, who is a doctor's assistant, condemned the CCP's concentration camps and denounced the CCP as a government that has committed such a terrible crime against its own people.

Ms. Inger Dilo and her six-year-old daughter Sabrina came to sign the petition. She said: "My daughter and I came to sign because we think those people detained in the concentration camps should receive some help. Human beings should never be treated like experimental animals. The Nazis' time has long gone, and history should not repeat itself."

Ms. Martina expressed: "Live organ harvesting and forced abortion cannot be allowed anywhere in the world, this is a form of murder."

Ms. Hyde Mary, a secretary, said: "This is the first time that I have heard about this, and it is simply unbelievable! We must do something about it, rather than wait and see. We had concentration camps here in Germany in the past, and such a crime cannot happen again."

(Clearwisdom.net) In order to protest the crimes of extracting the Falun Gong practitioners' organs while they're alive and cremating their bodies to remove the evidence of crimes taking place in the CCP's concentration camps and labor camps, as well as to awaken people's sense of justice and conscience to stop this inhuman persecution together, Finland Falun Gong practitioners went to the Chinese Embassy to disclose the truth of the persecution to the people.

Some Chinese people with a sense of justice and understanding of the truth, when hearing of such inhuman persecution, couldn't help but speak up against the brutality. Some even decided to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations on the spot. Some passing-by Embassy staff members were willing to take the materials to read after hearing of the incidents happening in the CCP concentration camps and labor camps.

Many Finns came here to apply for a visa. Sometimes people continuously paid attention to the exhibition board written in Finnish: "The CCP concentration camps torture and kill Falun Gong practitioners, and extract their organs while they're alive". Many people stopped to look carefully.

A lady who spoke English came out of the Embassy holding a slanderous Falun Gong flyer made by the Embassy. After the practitioners talked to her, she understood that the flyer was full of lies. She asked about the persecution, and when she understood the truth, this lady shed tears of sympathy. She was sobbing and said that there are always so many people suffering so many miseries and misfortunes in the world. She sincerely hoped that this persecution could be ended as soon as possible.

(Clearwisdom.net) As the third largest city in Turkey, Izmir is also one of the oldest cities of the Mediterranean world. On April 9, 2006, Turkish Falun Gong practitioners went to Izmir to introduce Falun Gong to people belonging to a local Culture and Arts association.

Practitioner Ters introduced both the principles and the exercises to the audience. The audience showed their interest by asking questions about dual cultivation of mind and body and suggested that a local Falun Gong association be set up. Practitioners were also told that they had heard of Falun Gong from practitioners in Ankara.

Practitioner told the audience that they could understand and learn more by reading the books, particularly Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa..

The audience photocopied the two books and suggested that a nine day introductory class be held in the city. They also presented flowers to practitioners to show their gratitude.

(Clearwisdom.net) In the afternoon of April 12, 2006, local Falun Gong practitioners appealed to the Taiwanese President in front of the Liaofang Train Station. They called on the president to pay close attention to the CCP's killing of Falun Gong practitioners, harvesting organs from practitioners and then cremating their bodies to destroy evidence. A government official accepted the practitioners' appeal letter and supporting documents, and promised that he would pass the materials to the president. At the site, reporters from more than 20 media outlets received the same materials.

At the same time the atrocities of forced labor camps in China harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs for profits and secretly cremating their bodies were exposed to the world, a lawsuit was filed against Luo Gan, one of the key persons that started the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

Ms. Wang Yuzhi, a Falun Gong practitioner, attended the court trial to testify against Luo Gan. In the court, Ms. Wang stated that she almost went blind as a result of the tortures she received at Wanjia Labor Camp in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. The police from local 610 Office took her to four different hospitals in Harbin to perform blood tests and to checkup on the condition of her internal organs. Her testimony caused quite a stir in the court.

Luo Gan was the mastermind of the "610 Office", an agency formed specifically to persecute Falun Gong. Luo Gan passed and executed Jiang Zemin's secret orders to persecute Falun Gong, including "eradicating Falun Gong in three months," "defaming Falun Gong practitioners' reputation, bankrupting them financially, destroying them physically," "death of Falun Gong practitioners from beating is nothing and shall be counted as suicide," and "their bodies shall be directly cremated without investigating their identification."

Since the Chinese Communist regime began the persecution of Falun Gong, human organ transplant operations have become a soaring business in China.

The Epoch Times had an interview with Ms. Wang Yuzhi, one of the witnesses in the lawsuit against Luo Gan in Argentina.

Reporter: You are one of the witnesses in the lawsuit against Luo Gan in Argentina. Are you giving any new details in your testimony in this lawsuit?

Ms. Wang: Jiang Zemin is the man that launched the persecution against Falun Gong, but Luo Gan is one of the culprits. I have filed lawsuits against Jiang Zemin in a number of different countries because I have been illegally arrested and tortured in the forced labor camp.

In addition to the cruel tortures I have suffered in Wanjia Forced Labor Camp in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, this time I gave new details about how the police from the "610 Office" took me to four different hospitals for blood tests and physical exams while I was nearly blind. They secretly checked the condition of my organs in the hospitals. After all four hospitals confirmed that all of my organs were damaged and "useless," the "610 Office" suddenly lost its interest in me.

Lately the media has exposed the grisly atrocities of an extermination camp in Sujiatun, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province that harvested organs from living Falun Gong practitioners before eliminating their bodies in the on-site crematory. These reports made me tremble because it is a missing piece to the puzzle of that time I was taken to four different hospitals for blood tests and for checkup on the condition of my internal organs. If my internal organs had not been determined as "useless," I might not be standing here today testifying against Luo Gan.

Ms. Wang: The Chinese communist regime had kidnapped me three times. The last time I was incarcerated in Wanjia Forced Labor Camp in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. Many fellow Falun Gong practitioners and I were subjected to brutal beatings, electric shock, being tied with ropes, being hanged up in the air by handcuffs, being forced to sit on metal chairs naked, force-feeding, being forced to stand outside in the snow, being hung up in the air by rope, and sleep deprivation. These tortures were beyond our limits. Finally, many fellow practitioners and I began a group hunger strike for over 100 days to protest the persecution, but the torture continued despite our protest.

Later in the courtroom, I told the judge and attorneys about an extermination camp in Sujiatun where living Falun Gong practitioners' organs were harvested for profits. At least 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners were imprisoned there as "stock" in this human organ farm at one point, but 4,000 of them have already been butchered for the harvests of their kidneys, corneas, hearts, lungs and livers for huge profits. Their bodies were exterminated at the camp's crematory oven. I told them that I must know some of them in that extermination camp because I often had nightmares about them. I am terribly sad.

I have to face a cruel fact: If my body had not been "useless" at the time, I would not be able to live to tell the tale today. In the past few years I had forgotten many things that injured my mind and health during the illegal incarceration, but I have suddenly become very clearheaded since I started to prepare for the lawsuit against Luo Gan and started to remember a lot more of the details. They came up to my mind as very high-resolution pictures. One of the details I suddenly remembered was why I was able to escape the pain of death and why they wanted to check my internal organs secretly in four different hospitals.

Reporter: You have provided many details about a scheme to harvest your organs. How did you find out about their scheme?

Ms. Wang: When I became critically ill and blind, staff members from the local "610 Office" took me to four very famous hospitals in Harbin for physical exam. The recent exposure of an extermination camp in Sujiatun triggered my memory and provided me with missing pieces of a puzzle. It was not until then I realized why they wanted to take me to four different hospitals.

Reporter: Could you please tell us the process where they secretly had your body and organ conditions checked during your imprisonment in Wanjia Forced Labor Camp?

Ms. Wang: It was between October 2001 and March 2002. (I cannot remember the exact day.) When I was at death's door, the head of Wanjia Forced Labor Camp's hospital Ms. Song Zhaohui bickered with the police from the "610 Office." Song Zhaohui said, "It is too much trouble to torture Wang Yuzhi because we have to keep her alive to torture her. She has been on the hunger strike for several months. Her body cells, tissues and organisms are done for. She will die soon. All the rooms are packed. We don't have room for her. She is useless. Give her a prison term and send her off!" Instead, the police from the "610 Office" took me to four different famous hospitals in Harbin for physical exams, including the Harbin Public Security Hospital, Heilongjiang No. 2 Hospital, Harbin No. 1 Medical College Hospital and Harbin No. 2 Medical College Hospital. Each time they drew my blood for blood tests. When I resisted giving a blood sample, I was subjected to brutal beating. Then the police ordered the doctors to give me an anesthetic injection.

On October 25 and 26, 2001, Harbin Public Security Hospital gave me the first general health exam. I also saw several other Falun Gong practitioners receiving health exams in the adjacent rooms. They were all young male practitioners. We were shocked to see each other here. All of us distributed truth-clarification materials in Harbin. We didn't know each other's name, but we recognized each other's faces. We were confused, not knowing what would happen to us next. The police quickly separated us. After I was released, I have been searching for them for years, but there is no sign of them.

After a few days, I was taken to the Heilongjiang No. 2 Hospital. It is a famous hospital known for its excellent medical experts. I heard them complaining, "Now going to hospitals has become my work!" Based on what they said, I remembered that besides kidnapping Falun Gong practitioners, the police from "610 Office" sent a lot of Falun Gong practitioners to psychiatric hospitals between 2000 and 2002. They must have tried to examine their bodies in addition to resorting to psychiatric abuses as a means to make them renounce Falun Gong.

A female doctor at Heilongjiang No. 2 Hospital commented that the skin of my thigh was very fair and fine when she examined my skin. She asked if I had any skin allergy. She was checking me out and noticed that I was scratching my thighs. She said, "Does your skin feel itchy very often?" I replied, "My skin feels itchy because I was ordered to sleep next to a fellow Falun Gong practitioner suffering from severe scabies." Next she did a test on my wrist. Five minutes later, the area she tested on became red. She asked if I had any allergies to medicine, and I told her that I used to have allergic skin and I was allergic to western medicine before I practiced Falun Gong. I had to rely on traditional Chinese herbs.

One day in March 2002, Wanjia Forced Labor Camp secretly transferred me to Harbin No. 2 Medical College Hospital. I remembered asking the police from the "610 Office," "Why are you spending so much time and energy on taking me to these hospitals for health exams after having subjected me to so much torture?" They replied, "We are treating your illness. We have to treat your illness because we cannot afford to let other people see you like this. Should your current physical condition be exposed, we would be done for. Once you recover your health, our mission will be accomplished." The hospital drew my blood, but my blood was dark purple because I was on a water strike too.

They told me to urinate, but my bladder was empty. My heart was pumping so hard that I felt restless. After three hours, I tried to urinate in a urine basin in the room. I still didn't have any urine so they gave me a glucose drip. After about one hour of glucose drip, they finally got my urine for an urine test. They found blood in my urine. A doctor asked me if I was having my period. I said no. Next they took me to an OB/GYN. They gave me an ultrasound scan and said everything was fine. Next they asked if I had any nephritis (kidney inflammation) before I started to practice Falun Gong. I replied, "I had nephritis when I was little. Because of my kidney problem, I often wet my bed. After I got married, the problem improved. Since I started practicing Falun Gong, I have never had any problem with bladder control."

Three policemen and two nurses carried me to the next exam room. They used X-rays to check my heart and lungs. They even gave me an X-ray scan from head to toe. I heard a doctor saying that the machine scanning my heart seemed to be broken because my heart was behaving oddly. In one minute it was beating hard, but in the next minute it would stop beating. They pressed on my stomach and the location of my liver, and asked if it hurt. They also used a prod to poke at the bottom of my feet. They poked at my feet very hard and asked if my head hurt. They also flipped over my body to check my kidneys.

At every hospital the police asked the doctors to draw my blood for blood tests. One day I asked a doctor, "What on earth are you trying to find in my blood? I must know this because I will survive and tell the tale." They told me my blood type is AB, which is hard to find. I was wondering, "Are they trying to give me a blood transfusion or are they trying to give my blood to someone else?" At the time I had a hard time guessing what their purpose was.

Later two policemen called Heilongjiang Province's "610 Office" and asked what to do. They were told not to give me emergency resuscitation and send me to Harbin No. 1 Medical College Hospital for another round of checkup.

In the same day I was transferred from Harbin No. 2 Medical College Hospital to Harbin No. 1 Medical College Hospital. They checked my eyes, throat, trachea, and brain. Sensors were taped to my wrists and the back of my head.

A computer monitor showed my brainwave diagram. I was locked in a hospital ward with one policewoman and three policemen watching me. There were a total of 11 SWAT police officers taking turns watching me. They told me, "It would cost $100,000USD for each eyeball transplant if I should become blind. Your husband who runs the business has run off. No one cares what will happen to you." I closed my eyes, refusing to acknowledge them. I thought they were talking nonsense to add insult to my nearly lost vision when they said it would cost $100,000 for each eye transplant.

I waited for the health exam results at Harbin No.1 College Hospital. The doctor finally announced, "There are problems with her cell tissue. Her pulse shows up at random. Her heart beats at random." In short, my body was "useless." In order to treat my illness, the hospital demanded about 50,000 yuan from my family. However, the "610 Office" suddenly lost interest in me when the doctor said I would be a useless walking dead even if I recover. Following May 1, each day one policeman would disappear from my room. One night the remaining policemen told me, "In your condition, it does not matter where we leave you. If you survive, go back and look for your family. If you are dead, you will be cremated." Later they just abandoned me in the hospital. I was in disbelief that all the policemen left the hospital on May 8.

Reporter: In the four health exams, did any doctor try to resuscitate you when you were at death's door? Did the "610 Office" give you any medical treatment as they had promised when they found you were ill at the hospital?

Ms. Wang: In the four health exams, the "610 Office" did not give me any medical treatment like they said. They just ordered the hospitals to give me health exams to find out the conditions of my organs. It was revealed in the first health exam that there were problems in my blood, my organs were not functioning normally and my corneas were ruined. I was about to become blind. My kidneys were failing. My liver was failing. My skin was contracting scabies. But the "610 Office" refused to give up. They sent me to two other hospitals to repeat the health exam. After the last three hospitals gave the same diagnosis that all of my organs were useless, the "610 Office" suddenly lost interest in me. It even withdrew most of the policemen. The remaining three policemen ran off too. That was why I was able to call a friend of mine without the help of a nurse. That was how I escaped.

Reporter: After you escaped from the hospital, did the "610 Office" try to locate you? Did they find out that you fled out of China?

Ms. Wang: After I escaped from the hospital, the "610 Office" didn't look for me. But I heard there were men watching my home, and my home phone was tapped into. They probably thought I was dying soon and was useless to them.

In just twenty days, I recovered my health by practicing Falun Gong. Soon I escaped from China successfully. In the United Arab Emirates, I clarified the truth to Chinese tourists in order to rescue those fellow practitioners imprisoned in China. I told them I was subjected to horrific torture simply because I refused to give up my belief in Falun Gong. That was when the "610 Office" became shocked. They kidnapped me in the United Arab Emirates and tried to send me back to China. Fortunately, the Canadian government was informed of my situation at the pivotal moment and rescued me from their hands. That's how I arrived at Canada.

Reporter: Has organ trade taken place in the labor camps in China's provinces, cities and municipalities that imprison Falun Gong practitioners? Are the victims of organ harvests mostly those practitioners who refuse to give the police their names or those who were imprisoned in forced labor camps?

Ms. Wang: I have been thinking about this question since I recalled the secret checkup on the condition of my organs. The Chinese communist regime not only harvests organs from those Falun Gong practitioners who refuse to give their names or who were kidnapped, but also practitioners like me. I have a husband and siblings. They all know I was imprisoned and knew the location of Wanjia Forced Labor Camp. They even knew that I have family members outside of China. But when I was dying, the communist regime was preparing to remove my organs for sale! Based on my case, I believe organ trade from living human beings must be well known in China. At least such a beastly action must be an open secret within China's "610 Office!"

(Clearwisdom.net) Since the revelation of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners at concentration camps of the Chinese Communist regime (CCP), many Canadian people have been sending messages to the Canadian Government via www.falundafa.ca website to condemn the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong. The following is a selection of their messages:

I was horrified when I learned about this happening and even more outraged when I saw people doing nothing. I am notifying everyone I know to let them know about this horrible situation. Please do what you have to do to end this!!!

China seems to be getting worse with abuse. This is appalling and Canada can not let this continue. We cannot trade with the likes of China.

This must stop! This horrific butchering endangers lives of recipients as well! Humanity must prevail.

Our continued acceptance of China's obvious and disgusting human rights violations is becoming shameful for Canada. Our role as a bystander does not absolve us of guilt but rather condemns us. I urge the Prime Minister and the Parliament, which is supposed to represent the will of the people, to condemn China and its government and if the human rights violations do not stop I suggest a boycott of the 2008 Summer Olympics in China.

I am thoroughly disgusted that something of this nature and magnitude can still happen unnoticed and unstopped today. I beg of you all to do everything in your power to bring a halt to this atrocity as soon as possible. Be an example to all Canadians and the world

Although I realize that China is an important economic partner for Canada, and plays a major role in the world scene, I feel as though something must be done to stop this inhuman persecution of a peaceful minority group. What is the most disconcerting about these allegations is the similarity to that of the Holocaust. What I think needs to be said is that by appeasing Hitler to the point that the major powers allowed, we allowed for the massacre of millions of innocent people...and not only that but almost lost our world and our freedom as well. We can not let that happen again. Due to the fact that China is such a global influence, I do believe this situation should be handled in some sense delicately, but at the same time firmly, in order to prevent yet another genocide from staining human history. Thank you.

I think it is truly appalling to hear of such a matter. Those people need to be helped. I could not imagine how those who have lost loved ones feel. I have an immigrant from China who doesn't speak one word in English working for me. He brought this matter to my attention with a pamphlet called China's Secret Concentration Camps. I read the pamphlet and did nothing but cry. They are not a piece of trash; they are someone's daughter or son or mother or father, etc. How would you feel if that was your own child? As a proud Canadian, I think it is our duty to help a sister who is in need of a hand. Please do something! Please, please, please!!!!!

If there were words I could say that would touch your heart in a way as to inspire it and fill it with the gift of charity, I would say them. Alas, I do not possess the gift to entice the hearts of men to the convincing of their responsibilities. I do not desire that you march into China and take away from those accountable of this heinous injustice and their freedom to choose between what is right and what is wrong. It would only serve to induce hypocrisy; but I do desire for all to become aware of the reality of the situation at hand; to stand tall and raise our voices and become a powerful influence and example of love, truth and righteousness and not turn a blind eye. As a non-practitioner I stand and petition for love...not hate, for freedom...not captivity/control, for justice and mercy not condemnation, for acceptance and forgiveness not bitterness and revenge. Only you know what is right for you, your family and your people (we Canadians). I trust that you will choose what is right and do what is right to the best of your ability. It is my prayer that you will find the strength to be the Prime Minister that our Father desires you to be and as your sister and fellow citizen. I will do all to support you as my leader in righteousness. As Moses of old, armed with only a staff in his hand, love in his heart and a message from God he petitioned pharaoh to let his people go. Now Israel is a country; but first he sought to know the truth and what was right, then he did what he could.

This type of cruelty and disregard for human rights simply cannot be tolerated and must be condemned on an international level.

I hope this helps. Something must be done about this. I will pray for those people!

Life is precious, a gift from God, creator of all and we should appreciate life and others' too. God is forgiving but He will also punish all those people who do wrong. This is not right and I and my Creator want this to stop.

Please do everything in your power to ensure that the religious freedom that we enjoy and often take for granted can also be enjoyed around the world without fear of torture or death.

No human being on earth deserves to be killed, tortured, or wrongfully detained. Stand up Canada, for human rights both at home and abroad.

I find these claims highly disturbing, and reminiscent of the holocaust. Please do something immediately to see if these claims are valid; if so, these people need to be rescued immediately.

This situation is reminiscent of the Nazi concentration camps for Jews in the 1930s. The world has sworn it wants nothing like that to happen again. We can't sit by and not do anything about this.

It is our responsibility as politicians, businessmen, media and Canadian citizens to be aware of the fact that this Concentration Camp in China affects all of us in the West. And we should take a righteous stance for saving people who are still in the camp and have hope in people like us to help them get out of there. And we should pay attention to this matter at least for sake of our future existence and survival. The nature of CCP is to deceive but is it our nature to be deceived?

(Clearwisdom.net) On April 3 and 4, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners from Europe, Taiwan, North America and Oceania held a rally and a news conference in front of the UN Office in Geneva and the UN Human Rights Committee, strongly condemning the crimes at the CCP concentration camps, where Falun Gong practitioners' organs have been removed and their bodies burned to eliminate the evidence. The practitioners urgently called on the UN to launch an immediate investigation into the situation. Swiss MPs and delegates from International NGOs expressed their condemnation of the atrocities, and their sympathy and support for Falun Gong practitioners in different ways.

Sylvia G. Iriondo, Chairman of "M.A.R. Por Cuba" from International NGOs in the UN (the branch in Cuba) stated:

We are condemning the extremely cruel events in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Northeast China. According to information given by several witnesses and media reports, 4000 Falun Gong practitioners have already been persecuted to death there. Their organs were removed when they were still alive and then their bodies cremated.

We feel very painful whenever we hear that those who are asking for freedom of belief and speech as stated in the International Human Rights Convention are being persecuted.

We are urgently requesting the international community to together call for the end of crimes against humanity and take action to rescue the 2000 Falun Gong practitioners who are still locked up in the Concentration Camp. The free and civilized world cannot keep silent and remain completely indifferent to these horrible incidents happening right now.

Many members and leaders of M.A.R. Por Cuba have experienced persecution themselves and their family members all have suffered persecution and violent infringement of their human rights under the dictatorship in Cuba for about a half century. These persecutions include a team for carrying out a death sentence. We can feel your sufferings and we are standing with you, shoulder to shoulder.

The International Organization of Beliefs supports Falun Gong and is shocked at the action of removing organs from human bodies in the CCP Concentration Camp. We hope that the incident will be made known to the world and be dealt with in the First Human Rights Council Conference of the UN.

Communism has committed big crimes against humanity. When western countries turn blind eyes, they are accessories as well.

Just as if I was walking into a nine-level hell, hand in hand with Dante, a poet of Italy, I was experiencing that terrible horror in my spirit.

The "Nine Commentaries" should be distributed in all schools. All media should promote it as well in order to disclose the lies of that so-called great steersman, and show the barbarity and cruelty of the so-called "Cultural Revolution" to the world's people.

What the Nine Commentaries state are all facts. You don't need to say anything more and read other books or write something either: the facts are right before you.

The red empire and its subordinates are always ready for attacking. That is why the world's people all show special concern over their threat, and that is also why the world's people would rather think more about money and something theoretical than look at their actions. The weakness of western countries is indicated by the fact that they want to cover up this incident and avoid publishing any comments from the "Nine Commentaries" so that they can suppress information about the bloody tragedy of genocide.

Crowds of followers, who are wild about Mao' thoughts and have grown up living a dissipated life, have congregated again under the Communist Party's flag, and its waving shadow has shut out these dark hands.

These followers, however, seem very pleased. The flag is red so they cannot see the bloodstains on it.

People in the west who have benefited from the economy of China tend to keep silent, but the fact is that not all of us have accepted the horrible and repeated actions of infringing on human rights of Falun Dafa practitioners. Therefore, all democratic countries in the world should condemn the atrocities in China conducted by the CCP, among which the incident happening at Sujiatun Concentration Camp is the latest, most lamentable action.

Mr. Rene Wadlow, a delegate of the Cosmopolite Organization in the UN expressed:

We have already pointed out many times the danger and threat brought by forced labor camps and concentration camps in China. The facts of persecution you have just disclosed are very serious. I think it necessary to have the UN investigate this incident. And any assistance you can supply to the investigation will be very useful.

If it is impossible to do an official investigation, I think we must consider the feasibility of letting International NGOs take care of the investigation. And a book entitled "Human Rights Mission: On-the-spot Record, Review from the NGOs" by H.Thoolen and B.Verstaapen is very useful in this field.

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioners Mr. Wang Jianguo and his wife Ms. Zhao Qiumei of Jilin City were arrested by a group of policemen headed by Tan Xinqiang from Nanjing police station on March 2, 2006. Within one month and nine days, Mr. Wang Jianguo, who was only around 30 years old, was persecuted to death at the No. 1 Detention Center of Jilin City. His body is at the autopsy center of Jilin City police station. Before his death, his wife was arrested again and taken to the No. 5 Division of Changchun Heizuizi Female Forced Labor Camp, where she is being persecuted.

In November 2000, Wang Jianguo was sentenced to two years of forced labor by Huanxiling Reeducation Center of Jilin city. His wife Zhao Qiumei was detained for two years at Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in December 2001.

On March 2, 2006, staff from the Nanjing local police station of the Chuanying area illegally confiscated Mr. Wang Jianguo's family's property and arrested Wang Jianguo and his wife Zhao Qiumei. They also stole personal belongings worth more than 30,000 Yuan. The police also took all the cash (about 3,200 Yuan) the couple had saved. After the Nanjing local police station arrested Wang Jianguo, they tried to extort a confession through torture, injuring his face and arms severely.

On March 10 at the noon, staff from Hadawan local police station and Jilin State Security Bureau sent three police cars to Wang Jianguo's father's house to arrest his father, Mr. Wang Shusen, because they were afraid that his father would appeal for help. They broke into his house and confiscated the family's property. Because of the repeated and continuous harassment by the local police and staff from the Jilin State Security Department, Wang Jianguo's parents left their home to avoid further persecution.

On March 31 Ms. Zhao Qiumei was taken by the Nanjing local police station to Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp to serve one year of forced labor. At this time, she is illegally detained at the No. 5 brigade. Mr. Wang Jianguo was still illegally imprisoned in No. 1 Detention Center in Jilin City.

In the morning of April 11, the No. 1 Detention Center of Jilin city called Mr. Wang Jianguo's family members and said, "Wang Jianguo was sent to the No. 2 hospital for emergency procedures yesterday. The doctors were unable to resuscitate him. He died of respiratory failure..." At around noon his family members arrived at the detention center. Deputy Chief of the Detention Center Cong Maohua said that they once forced fed Wang Jianguo, but he died of respiratory failure. He also said that Wang Jianguo had other severe health problems and could not breathe well. They also had found that he had lung problems, and so on.

Wang Jianguo was actually very healthy before being arrested. He once practiced martial arts and never had any health problems. Why did he suddenly die of respiratory failure at the detention center during forced feeding? That is a clear indication that the force-feeding at the Detention Center is performed brutally and not for humanitarian reasons or to rescue his life. It is in reality a torture method to retaliate against the peaceful protesters. The feeding tube was most likely mistakenly put into the trachea, which caused the food to enter the trachea. This led to the lung infection and inability to breathe normally, causing death.

The No. 222 Hospital of Jilin City wrote an Emergency Medical Treatment Medical Record of Wang Jianguo's time before his death.

The emergency medical treatment record, completed by the doctor on call, states:

Wang Jianguo, male, 32 years old, Han Nationality, Working place address: Detention Center

Medical history: As per staff from the Detention Center, this patient has refused food for more than a month. After accepting advice, he ate a little porridge. His physical condition worsened and he became emaciated. He was brought to the outpatient service on the morning of April 10 for a medical examination. Director Guo examined him and he was then returned to the Detention Center for treatment. Around 1:20 p.m., the condition of the patient worsened and he had difficulty breathing. His arteries were fragile.

Physical examination: T: 0 ¡æ P: 0/minute R: 0/minute BP: 0/0mmHg consciousness: 0 Pupils: Left 4mm right 8 -10mm

Physical examination: Breathing and palpitation of the patient had stopped. There was no pulse. The right pupil was 8 - 10mm, left 4mm and no response to light. The patient had no heartbeat and no breathing sound could be heard. There were no scars on his body, chest, back or limbs. O² chest massage was performed, an electrocardiogram done, muscle injection given for emergency rescue. All resuscitation methods failed.

Permission was given by the detention chief, not to do a CAT scan on the patient's head.

Wang Jianguo's remains are now held at the autopsy center of Jilin municipal public security bureau. Within one month and nine days, Wang Jianguo was persecuted to death during forced feeding at the No. 1 Detention Center of Jilin city.

The victim is handcuffed and wears a metal ring around his neck; his feet are shackled, normally used only on death-row prisoners. Then the handcuffs, the shackles, and the metal ring are all chained together. The victim has to lean forward. The chain that connects the handcuffs to the shackles is locked. The floor ring is fixed to a metal slab in front of the feet and the metal slab is affixed to a big bed for inmates.

If practitioners shout, "Falun Dafa is good!" the evildoers gag them with towels and beat them with plastic slippers. The windows and doors are tightly closed because they are afraid visitors might hear what is going on.

The police torture practitioners and also compel other inmates to torture them. The police step on and push down hard on practitioners' chests. They beat practitioners with leather whips, leather belts, and slippers. They take away practitioners' cotton quilts. Some practitioners had to sleep for nine days without cotton quilts, clad only in a shirt, while other inmates had several cotton quilts.

Most practitioners are handcuffed and shackled. They are tied in a spread-eagle position in bed for force-feeding, with handcuffs and shackles chained together. Some practitioners are subjected to this for as long as six months.

Practitioners are tied in bed in a spread-eagle position with handcuffs and shackles that are chained together. There is a big lock on the stomach. The chains are tied to a peg.

A practitioner found a pen when cleaning up the detention center. He used the pen to write "Falun Dafa is good!" "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance are good!" on his uniform. This figure illustrates how the police stripped off the practitioner's clothes.

Practitioners are tied to an empty metal bed with three wooden slats, barely four-inches wide. The boards have many protruding spikes on them that poke into the skin, causing excruciating pain. The top board is for supporting the shoulders and head, but most of the head is still unsupported, which makes practitioners suffer.

Practitioners are handcuffed and shackled. Arms and legs are tightly tied to triangle metal frames by yellow tape. They use this torture method to make practitioners give up their belief.

The ankles are right in contact with the metal frames. It hurts a great deal. Being tied to the bed this way for a long time causes severe edema in the arms and legs. They also tape practitioners' mouths shut to prevent them from shouting.

In order to force practitioners to give up their belief, they also pour dirty water on practitioners. They force-feed practitioners with strong vinegar, garlic juice, and chopped garlic. They also put bugs on practitioners. For example, they have put big spiders into practitioners' mouths and poured urine into practitioners' mouths.

The small cage is made of steel. Practitioners are made to wear a wrestling helmet and are handcuffed. They are forced to stand barefoot in the small cage for over 20 hours every day. Some practitioners were compelled to stand for five days. Their feet were severely swollen. They torture some practitioners with several methods over and over to force them to give up their belief.

Dafa practitioners are handcuffed and shackled. They are completely wrapped in plastic including the head, leaving only the eyes and nose exposed. Then a cotton hat is added to cover the head tightly. The legs below the knees are encircled with ropes tied very tightly to the cage from the back, which hurts.

The space in the back is already minuscule. A wooden board with lots of spikes on it is then added, creating a situation in which one can only stand on one's toes in front of the board. After one night of being wrapped in plastic and wearing a hat, handcuffs, and shackles, one's feet and legs become severely swollen.

One person sits on a practitioner's shoulders and pulls the practitioner's hair hard. Another evildoing person pokes toothpicks into the practitioners' fingernail beds. The third person slaps the practitioner's face with plastic slippers.

Even if the practitioners' family members deposit money in the practitioners' accounts, the practitioners are forbidden to use the money while they are confined in small cells.

If practitioners don't give up on their belief they are confined to small cells with another inmate. They are handcuffed together. The inmate is allowed to sleep. The practitioner is not. The practitioner can only bend down at a 90-degree angle.

Four inmates are locked up with one practitioner. The other inmates must monitor the practitioner. There is a toilet area with a board to cover one's back. In the summer, practitioners are forced to wear a winter coat. To prevent them from taking off the coat, the front of the coat is sewn together so tightly that no one can tear it open with her bare hands. Because practitioners refuse to wear the criminal inmates' tags, the police sew numerous tags onto practitioner's coats. If a practitioner moves his or her hands, all the inmates come up and beat the practitioner. Some inmates step on the practitioners' ankles. Some practitioners had to wear a winter coat for six nights and days in the summer and got no sleep.

In the Dabei Women's Prison small cells, they used mostly murderers to monitor the practitioners and torture them. In 2002, prison director Bai himself led the murderers and guards to torture practitioners.

They tie practitioners using ropes around their bodies and hands. One inmate is in the front and pulls the practitioner's hair down as hard as she can; another inmate continuously stomps on the practitioner's feet. Another inmate behind the practitioner grabs the practitioner's hands tightly so that she can't move. They also gag practitioners with towels so they can't shout, "Falun Dafa is good."

They use murderers to monitor practitioners. They tie practitioners' hands and feet to a metal bed. A board is laid across the bed, with only a hole in the board for relieving oneself. When practitioners are on a hunger strike, they force-feed them corn mush with other unknown ingredients that cause vomiting and diarrhea. The murderers act as "doctors." They give toxic injections to practitioners for six days and nights. They even charge for these injections that make practitioners freezing cold. They also draw blood and poke very deeply, all the way to the bone. Because of such torture, some practitioners' electrocardiograms no longer registered a heartbeat. Some guards and inmates had tears in their eyes witnessing this. Certain practitioners were tied to the Death Bed for 20 days; some even for several months.

The guards force some inmates to torture practitioners. Two inmates step on a practitioner's ankles at the same time and poke the practitioner all over her body using toothpicks. When they get tired, another two inmates will switch with them to continue the torture.

An electronic eye monitors the small cell. The four inmates watch each practitioner so as to forbid the practitioner from ever sleeping. If the practitioner does fall asleep, every inmate is fined over 100 yuan every time it happens. To avoid the fines, the inmates try hard to torture practitioners. A few practitioners in some small cells were tortured to death. Some practitioners were let out of the small cells after 15 days of torture. Certain practitioners have been in and out of small cells several times.

When practitioners try to clarify the truth, they dispatch six people to carry the practitioners, but they can't seem to pick the practitioners up. This happens often. They also gag practitioners with towels.

When some practitioners were tortured to the brink of death, several people used a big piece of fabric to drag the practitioner. A policewoman used her thumb to hold up a practitioner's chin and another hand to pinch the practitioner's neck. The prison doctor gags the practitioner with a towel to prevent him from clarifying the truth. They send practitioners who clarify truth to small cells. Some practitioners were healthy before they were sent to small cells but when they came out, their confinement under this torture had made them comatose.

When practitioners go on a hunger strike, seven or eight guards and prison doctors work together to torture practitioners. They force-feed them on the floor. Two guards pull the victim's hands aside and step on them and twist them. One guard steps really hard on a practitioner's chest and stomach. Another guard sits on a practitioner's legs. Other guards hold electric batons. The prison doctor force-feeds the practitioner without paying attention to the practitioner's ability to breathe. The practitioner ends up having corn mush all over the head and face. The corn mush has other unknown substances mixed in.

The guards put all the force-feeding tools in the dirty toilet, including the feeding tube, which are soaked in tap water in a lunch box.

Agents from Division One of the Dalian City Police Department came to the Yaojia Detention Center to interrogate a practitioner. The practitioner refused to answer their questions. In order to take a picture of the practitioner, several plainclothes officers exchanged eye contact; then four or five of them started beating the practitioner and pushing him against the wall. Some pulled his hair, some covered his mouth, some kicked his legs, and some held his hands . They took this opportunity to take the practitioner's photograph.

(Clearwisdom.net) On the evening of October 26, 2005, Dafa practitioner Yin Wenjuan from Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province was arrested by officers from the Hongqi Police Station in Qinghe District. Her non-practitioner husband Li Yuanjun was also taken away together with her. After a period of detention, Yin Wenjuan was released and she is currently remaining homeless to avoid further persecution. Her husband was tortured to the point where he cannot take care of himself. The Hongqi Police Station police still refuses to return the couple's personal belongings, IDs and confiscated money.

On the night of the arrest, Hongqi Police Station and Qinghe District Police Department National Security Brigade together interrogated Yin Wenjuan. Police chief Lan Wen shocked her with high voltage electric batons. Failing to get anything from her, the police sent her to Kaiyuan Detention Center on the afternoon of the next day.

Yin Wenjun started a hunger strike on October 28 to resist the persecution, but she was force fed and chained to the bed. On November 8, the police took her back to the Qinghe Hospital surgical department, where National Security Brigade captain Li Meng and Hongqi Police Station instructor Liu Fang took charge of persecuting her. Because she clarified the truth to doctors and nurses in the hospital, a doctor surnamed Zhou instructed a nurse to inject her with some unknown substance, causing her to sleep for an entire day. Later she was force-fed many times. Her hands and feet were chained to the bed, and she had to use a catheter for twenty days. No matter what pressure was placed on her, she never yielded to the evil. The surgical department director did not want to take any responsibility should anything happen to Yin, so he urged the police to transfer Yin to the internal medicine department. Twenty days later, the police took Yin to the Hongqi Police Station. On December 1, she was transferred to Qinghe Second Hospital. During her detention there, she once required emergency rescue because of the damage caused by force feeding.

Yin Wenjun firmly rejected the illegal arrest, trial and sentence imposed on her. The police later sentenced her to imprisonment on parole. But she refused to sign the verdict. In the end, the police had her family take her home after she was on hunger strike for 81 days and was on the verge of death. At present, Yin is homeless to avoid further persecution.

Yin Wenjun's husband Li Yuanjun was arrested together with her and was also brutally tortured by the police. They used 7-8 electric batons simultaneously to shock him. They even stuck the batons into his mouth. As a result, Li's whole body was bruised. His hair was scorched, mouth swollen, face deformed, hands numb, and one leg limp. Even so, the police continuously tortured him. In the next several weeks, they kept beating him every time they interrogated him. Since they could not find any evidence against him, the police had to announce that he is not guilty and let him go home. The inhumane torture has caused severe damage to Li. He cannot take care of himself, he developed a heart problem, and he cannot use one of his legs. He had operations on his hands, but to this day they are still numb. He also has headaches. The police still refuse to return his confiscated personal belongings and money.

(Clearwisdom.net) In January 2005, the staff of the First Jail Area of the Suzhou Prison in Anhui Province brutally persecuted Mr. Hu WenKui, a Falun Dafa practitioner. He had burns on his body and on his feet. He is now permanently disabled.

From 6:00 p.m. January 5, 2005 to 4:00 p.m. on January 6, 2005, the prison warden, Lu Yang, of the First Jail Area Propaganda Room, and group supervisor Yu Weizhou, had the windows opened widely in 10ºC below zero (14ºF) weather, and had the electric fan turned on.

They tortured Mr. Hu Wenkui by kicking and punching him, and striking him with their elbows. They tied one of his hands to a window and tied his other hand to a rope. They then had several people pull on the rope, causing his body to be hung in the air. They struck him in the chest and on the back. They had several prisoners push him against a wall. They also sat on him. Several others pulled his legs apart as far as they could and punched his genitals. They did this repeatedly. Thus, Mr. Hu Wenkui was not able to move his legs or walk for several months. They also shocked his genitals and other places with an electric baton for more than thirty minutes. His body was covered with burns and blisters.

Lu Yang stomped on Mr. Hu Wenkui's feet over and over, causing swelling so severe that he could not fit in his shoes. During this torture, Mr. Hu fainted three times. They then used hot-water bags filled with boiling water to burn his left leg, causing deep, third degree burns, and the connective tissue around his bones died from the heat. His left leg is crippled. On his right leg, they gave him second-degree burns and did severe damage to the blood vessels. He has not recovered from this torture after over a year.

(Clearwisdom.net) Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).

On August 13, 2005, five Falun Dafa practitioners who worked at the No. 4 Chongqing Steel Factory in Sanjiang were illegally arrested and their homes were ransacked. The police took all of their Dafa books, Dafa materials, tape recorders and other things. The five practitioners were sent to the Qijiang Police Department and Qijiang Development District Detention Center, where they were tortured. One month later they were sentenced to forced labor. The practitioners and their sentences are listed below:

Ms. Zhang Huaming, 52 years old; retired employee from the No. 4 Chongqing Steel Factory; sentenced to two years of forced labor;

Ms. Xiao Shengshu, 55 years old; family member of an employee at the No. 4 Chongqing Steel Factory; sentenced to two years of forced labor;

Ms. Du Guomei, 45 years old; family member of an employee at the No. 4 Chongqing Steel Factory; sentenced to 18 months of forced labor;

Ms. Wong Guangfen, 41 years old; an employee of the No. 4 Chongqing Steel Factory. She was fired and sentenced to one year of forced labor.

Ms. Wang Yongxian, 40 years old; employee of the No. 4 Chongqing Steel Factory, sentenced to two years of forced labor; sentence carried out outside the labor camp. Her salary was reduced.

The first four practitioners are being tortured at the Maojiashan Women's Forced Labor Camp. They are forced to work for more than ten hours a day and are subjected to brainwashing.

Xie Qiang and Li Xiong are the two police officers who persecuted practitioners Zhang Qiyong and Mu Enyin.

Mr. Wang Guiming, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Tonghua City, is detained at Sipingshiling Prison. He has been on a hunger strike for several days to protest the "illegal detention". In early March, because he shouted, "Falun Dafa is great," Mr. Wang was locked into a small cell and was brutally force-fed. His face was distorted from the beatings he received. The torture he endured was very severe. Now he is at the verge of death. On March 14, Wang Guiming's family members went to visit him, but were notified that Mr. Wang was locked in a small cell and they were not allowed to see him.

Mr. Wang Enhui is a Falun Dafa practitioner in Dongyu Village, Yushugou Township of Jilin Province. In the afternoon of February 21, 2006, Du Dianlong, the director of the Security Brigade, policeman Luo Hongjian and five other policemen from the Fuyu County Police Department, Jilin Province, broke into Mr. Wang Enhui's house. They broke open the gate lock, took away truth-clarification materials, and arrested Wang Enhui. Mr. Wang's wife tried her best to block the police from arresting her husband. A tall and strong policeman beat her violently. She almost lost consciousness. After the police illegally arrested Mr. Wang, his wife was traumatized, physically and mentally. She was always in a daze, which worsened daily. On March 12, she suffered a mental collapse. Her relatives took her to Taonan Psychiatric Hospital.

Ms. Zhang Yingdong lived away from home to avoid being persecuted by the Heishan County Police. The police searched for her so they could arrest her. They harassed many Falun Gong practitioners and their families in the process.

On February 9, 2006, staff from the detention center at the Heishan County Police Station took Zhang Yingdong to the Shenyang Prison, despite the fact that Ms. Zhang had not eaten for two months and was at the brink of death. She could not get out of the police van by herself. Two extremely violent and vicious guards, Yao Haitao and Jin Xianxiang, dragged Ms. Zhang out of the van and almost one thousand meters to the prison.

Ms. Zhang suddenly experienced heart disease symptoms and was on the verge of death. The prison refused to take her. The perpetrators took Zhang Yingdong back to Heishan County, and tortured her with brutal force-feeding while handcuffing her hands behind her back.

On February 10, the Heishan County Detention Center was afraid to take responsibility should Ms. Zhang die inside the detention center. On February 13, the court approved home detention. The next day, Heishan County Police Department harassed Ms. Zhang and her family and demanded that they turn over the temporary release document.

Zhang Yingdong had to leave home again even though she was extremely weak. Now nobody knows her whereabouts. Her husband is being held as hostage in the detention center where he is subjected to torture. Policeman Bi Shijun beat her husband savagely, causing him to suffer severely, both physically and mentally.

On February 15, 2006, Heishan County police searched for Ms. Zhang throughout the entire county and harassed many Falun Gong practitioners and their families.

At noon on March 16, 2006, three policemen arrested a Falun Dafa practitioner from Changchun City, while he was browsing the Internet at an Internet Caf¨¦ in District Six of the Economic Development District of Changchun (close to Weixing Road).

Mr. Wang Hongge's family was to visit Wang Hongge in Sipingshi Prison on March 14. They understood that he was in extremely poor health. Because he had great difficulty urinating, he did not drink any water. He had a high fever and his chest and back ached very much, which was caused by swollen kidneys. Sometimes, Mr. Wang's heartbeat reached 128 per minute. At its worst, he would faint. However, Sipingshi Prison refused to negotiate with Wang Hongge's family for medical parole, stating that his condition was not serious enough.

The prison policy was that detained Falun Gong practitioners were severely persecuted, and a total information blackout was in place. They also forbade practitioners' family members from bringing essentials to detained practitioners.

Mr. Cui Guojun and two other Falun Dafa practitioners were held in the 11th Prison District in Mudanjiang Prison. Because the authorities found Master's lectures during a body search, they were locked into small cells and tortured. The prison politics section searched all detained practitioners and took away some of the Falun Gong materials the practitioners had with them.

On February 11, 2006, policemen from the Mudaniang State Security Department and Ning'an State Security Department arrested Ms. Zou Xiaoying, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Mudanjiang City. The police took turns interrogating and torturing her. She was held in the First Detention Center of Mudanjiang City. She is now suffering severe illness symptoms, including blood and pus in her stool. She is extremely weak and unable to stand or walk. She cannot take care of herself. However, the police refused to release Ms. Zou. Moreover, they threatened that if Ms. Zou failed to reveal other practitioners' names, she would receive a heavy sentence. If Ms. Zou were to reveal practitioners' names to the police, they would claim that Ms. Zou betrayed her fellow practitioners. The police and jailors also confiscated Ms. Zou's personal belongings including her cell phone.

On February 14, 2006, at around 9:00 p.m., Mr. Wang Jun took on a tall and thin male passenger in his taxi. The man asked Wang Jun to drive him to his home first. Later he called for Wang Jun's taxi again and asked to be driven to a public bath near Jiamusi City's Women and Children's Hospital. He spoke on his cell phone during the drive, to someone at the public bath. Upon arrival, he asked Wang Jun to wait for him. Ten minutes later, he and another person came out and got onto Wang Jun's taxi. They immediately showed their police ID. They both were plainclothes agents of the Security Brigade of the Jiamusi City Police Department.

They hijacked Wangjun and his taxi and forced him to go to the Xiangyang Police Station of Jiamusi City. Immediately after that, they took Wang Jun to the Jiamusi City Detention Center.

Wang Jun went on a hunger strike in the detention center to protest the persecution. The evildoers tortured him by handcuffing him to the floor with his four limbs stretched in four different directions.

On the evening of March 18, 2006, ten Falun Dafa practitioner detained at Daqing City Labor Camp were transferred to Suihua City Labor Camp where they continued to be tortured.

Since the end of 2005, practitioners who were held at Mudanjiang Labor Camp, Muling City Bamiantong Detention Center, Qiqihaer Labor Camp and Hegang Labor Camp were taken to the Suiyuan City Labor Camp. Suiyuan City Labor Camp has become the main center for the authority of Heilongjiang Province to detain and persecute Falun Dafa practitioners.

The ten practitioners taken to Suiyuan from Daqing were: Mr. Zhang Zhilin, Mr. Li Yequan, Mr. Bai Yufu, Mr. Li Rongguo, Mr. Zheng Hongjun, Mr. Ge Zhenming, Mr. Cao Jingdong, Mr. Hou Qingguo, Mr. Liu Zhiqiang and Mr. Liu Guozhi.

Among them, Li Yequan has been on a hunger strike since his arrest on September 23, 2005. In Daqing City Labor Camp, he was stripped naked, had his wrists handcuffed behind his back and pushed outdoors into the freezing cold for ten minutes. Sometimes, the jailors forced him to walk when he was very weak; using the excuse that they wanted him to exercise. If Li Yequan refused to walk, they would drag him and push him. Sometimes, the jailors even took his shoes away from him and he had to walk barefooted.

On March 14, 2006, a group of Falun Dafa practitioners were taken from Changchun First Detention Center. No further information as to their whereabouts is available. We hope practitioners' family members will pay attention to this matter and demand their release.

Ms. Liu Lijun, a Falun Dafa practitioner of Dalian City is now held in the Dalian Detention Center. When she was taking equipment to a Dafa materials production site, she caught the attention of the police, who arrested her. The police later ransacked her home and took away a lot of new equipment.

Ms. Jiao Xiuge, 34 years old, lived in Apt. 7, Ma Village, Nanyuan Township, Fengtai District of Beijing. On February 24, 2006, local police and village officials ransacked her home at around 9:00 p.m. and took away all Falun Gong books and materials. They forcibly took Jiao Xiuge to the police station for interrogation. At 3:00 a.m., she was sent to the Fengtai District Detention Center. She has been detained there ever since.

Dafa practitioners Mr. Liang Minghua, Mr. Zhang Yanbin, Mr. Wu Jun, Mr. Gao Jianming, Mr. Qin Wei and Mr. Xu Huaquan are firm practitioners incarcerated in Qianjin Prison. They are not afraid of the evil. They are currently being strictly monitored and persecuted. They were forced to sit on a little stool only several inches high and forbidden to move. They would be beaten and berated as soon as they moved a little. They were forced to watch videotapes slandering Dafa and were forbidden to use the toilet. The evildoers deprived them of their basic rights in performing body functions. The authorities also instigated many criminals to beat, berate and humiliate the Dafa practitioners. Practitioners are not allowed family visits.

Qin Wei, Wu Jun and Gao Jianming were illegally arrested and held in Qianjin Prison last year. The evildoers locked them in small cells to torture them. Other practitioners being held there include several practitioners from Tsinghua University: Mr. Wu Chao, Mr. Meng Jun, Mr. Wang Weiyu, Mr. Wu Yinchang and Mr. Deng Huaiying.

On March 2, 2006, three Dafa practitioners from the in Enjizhuan area, Haidian District, Beijing were illegally arrested. No one knows their whereabouts. The practitioners are Ms. Sun Guizhen, 63 years old, Ms. Li Hua and Ms. Li's husband.

Ms. Liu Yanqin is in her fifties. She lived in Apt. 501, Unit 7, Building Six, Jiajia Garden Community, Fengtai District, Beijing. On February 24, 2006, local police from the Tianjinagying Police Station and local residential committee staff members came to her home at 9:30 p.m., ransacked it and took away all Falun Gong books and materials. They forcibly took Liu Yanqin to the local police station to interrogate her. The same evening, they took Ms. Liu to Fengtai District Detention Center and detained her there.

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Liu Yuying, 44 years old, lives in Apt. 83, Ma Village, Nanwan Township, Fengtai District, Beijing City. On March 6, 2006, at around 8:30 p.m., local police from Shiliuyuan Police Station and village officials went to Liu Yuying's home and ransacked it. They took away all Falun Gong books and forcibly took Ms. Liu to the police station for interrogation. Liu Yuying was taken to Fengtai District Detention Center where she is still being held.

During the national congress of the CCP, several Dafa practitioners in the Fengtai District of Beijing endured persecution. They were: Ms. Lu Yufen, Ms. Liu Shuzhi, Mr. Xu Zhiyi, Mr. Guo Bingyi and Mr. Guo's wife Ms. Jia. Currently, Lu Yufen and Guo Bingyi, Liu Shuzhi, Xu Zhiyi and Ms. Jai are still enduring persecution in the brainwashing class.

On March 7, 2006, Ms. Liu Xiuzhi and her daughter were illegally arrested at around 10:00 a.m. at the Laundromat of the Air Force residential compound in Haidian District, Beijing. After the incident, the Laundromat owner suddenly disappeared. He may have relocated. Some residents in the residential compound witnessed the police van from Hebei coming in and out of the area.

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Tang Yunli endured the torture of being handcuffed for 50 hours when she was held in the Detention Center of Rongcheng City, Shandong Province.

Mr. Hong Zhenyan and Mr. Jiang Fuxue, Falun Dafa practitioners from Wafangdian City, Liaoning Province were kidnapped some days ago. It was rumored that they would be sentenced in Dalian to a two-year prison term.

After Mr. Huang Yunlong, a practitioner from Fushun City, published a report exposing the persecution he had endured, the evildoers were shocked. They are presently searching for him everywhere.

(Clearwisdom.net) Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Hao Fukui, 70 years old, was illegally detained at the Dalian City Development District Detention Center. He was grossly abused under the persecution for nine months and was on the brink of death. On February 27, 2006 Mr. Hao was taken to the No. 3 Dalian City Development District Hospital. His family members Hao Yuefeng, Liu Mingwei and Mu Chunmei went to the hospital to visit him on March 1. They had an argument with the police about Mr. Hao's treatment. Following that, Hao Fukui was returned to the detention center. The three family members were detained at the district detention center.

On March 28, 2006, Chen Zhiqiang and Sun Chenggang from the Wucaicheng Police Department in the Dalian City Development District, Liu Dong, Zhang Lijun and others from the Legal Division of the District Police Department illegally arrested Hao Yuefeng, Liu Mingwei and Mu Chunmei and sent them to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. Because they were in poor condition from torture, the labor camp authorities refused to accept them. The police went to a health bureau and obtained false certificates. They used these certificates to send the three to the labor camp.

(Clearwisdom.net) A "solemn declaration" is a person's public statement declaring to the world that whatever he or she has done or said under duress or deception that was against Falun Dafa is null and void. Most of these statements have come from Falun Dafa practitioners in China who wished to express regret that, in the face of physical torture and brainwashing, they had signed documents renouncing Dafa and guaranteeing not to practice again. Also, as more and more people in China learn the truth about how they have been deceived and lied to by the Jiang regime, many non-practitioners are also submitting "solemn declarations."

(Clearwisdom.net) It has not been too long ago that the Sujiatun Concentration Camp was exposed. During this very short period, Dafa practitioners all over the world have experienced a serious test. I imagine that most Dafa practitioners when they first heard this extremely tragic information may have felt pained and then panicked or outraged, and all kinds of thoughts must have surfaced. When I first learned of this, I also experienced the complicated emotions described above, but I immediately told myself that my mind must remain undisturbed.

When I initially began the cultivation practice, I learned of the severe persecution of the practitioners in Mainland China by reading the persecution cases reported on the Minghui website. At the beginning I also felt quite shocked, as I thought that the vicious police were too inhumane and the fellow practitioners had suffered too much. I felt outraged every time I read of the persecution incidents, hoping that the evildoing police would receive karmic retribution and that the fellow practitioners would safely return home. While I continued my Fa study, I came to know, though, that resisting the persecution is correct, but Dafa disciples need to measure themselves with even higher standards. In the past I used my human mentalities to view the tribulations that the fellow practitioners had experienced, and I had taken the persecution against Dafa practitioners as something that is humans acting against humans.

This tragedy happened because the old cosmic forces, with the excuse of testing Dafa practitioners, have manipulated the evil beings to frenziedly persecute the Dafa practitioners, as Master reminded us.

We must therefore look on this series of persecution incidents with a rational mind. Actually, with the rapid progress of the Fa rectification, all the persecution incidents that have happened are all good opportunities for us to heighten our efforts in eliminating the evildoers and clarify the truth to sentient beings. Master said,

This Sujiatun Concentration Camp incident has perhaps made some practitioners anxious. All practitioners have experienced this test: Should we make even more solid cultivation efforts and hurry up in clarifying the truth and rescue sentient beings? Is our faith in Master and in Dafa strong enough? Are we looking inward or are we handling this with human attachments? Cultivation is a solemn thing; for each time we elevate to a higher realm, the practitioners must be able to squarely meet the criteria; regardless of whether the situation gets better or worse, practitioners should remain unaffected and continue their solid cultivation and do well the three things that Master has asked us to do. We should not be overcome by sorrow and outrage, as doing so is irrational. To reduce the incidents of persecution Dafa practitioners in Mainland China have been subjected to, all practitioners around the world need to act together and tell the people of the world the facts of the persecution and the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party, and help all people stand up to resist the persecution.

Dafa practitioners are one entity; the persecution of some practitioners means that all practitioners are persecuted. We cannot passively endure the persecution. We have to rationally face it and let people have an opportunity for salvation. This is the original wish of Dafa practitioners!

These are some understandings I have come to during my cultivation. Please kindly point out anything that is improper.

I am a Dafa practitioner from Vancouver. Looking back at my cultivation path of the past several years, although I do not have earthshaking stories, from what we have gone through, I have so much to share. Today I will mainly share my experience in sending forth righteous thoughts in front of the Chinese consulate in New York and "clarifying truth" in front of the visa office of the Chinese consulate in Vancouver.

I came to Manhattan along with other practitioners to clarify the truth in July of 2004. Together we endured severe weather in summer and winter. Our truthful and powerful righteous field gradually warmed up the cold faces, and kindhearted people were moved. People came to sign their names to support us after knowing the truth. I deeply felt that New York was in great need of Dafa practitioners to clarify truth and so decided to stay here for one year.

At the beginning, I distributed materials and practiced the exercises at the anti-torture exhibitions. Many people stopped by to ask questions. Because I do not speak English and could not clarify the truth to them, I was really worried. One time while I was doing the second exercise at the anti-torture exhibition, in my celestial eye I saw many practitioners and myself sitting along the two sides of a very long boat in yellow clothes. We were all trying very hard to move the boat forward. I felt that it was very difficult for me to catch up. I thought that Teacher was giving me a hint and that I needed to be more diligent to catch up with the pace of Fa rectification. Later I enlightened that it suited me better to send forth righteous thoughts in front of the Chinese consulate. That is also the place where the evil gathers. For convenience, the fellow practitioners in the sending righteous thoughts team lived together. We came from all over the world. Everyday we spent over one hour on transportation to arrive at the Chinese consulate before 8:00 am.

Most of our practitioners are senior citizens. Every day we hold banners, send forth righteous thoughts, and practice the exercises in front of the Chinese consulate. The wind is very strong there, and it changes directions all the time. If we were not careful, the wind would blow us away along with the banners! During the scorching summer days, we sat under the sun and felt as if sitting in a steamer. In winter, the cold wind and icy rain whipped our faces. It was very painful. But we sat there and didn't budge. Sometimes we even sat in the pooling puddles. Under such a severe environment, we not only persevered but also were very energetic. I felt that Teacher was watching over us at every moment.

Although we looked ordinary, people started quietly noticing us. One day when we were holding banners, sending forth righteous thoughts, and practicing the exercises as usual, a man came over and said in a strangely angry tone, "I really admire your group of grandmas. You never stop even it is windy and snowing." Although his tone was not friendly, I felt that he was still moved by our great compassion and perseverance. Another time when we were practicing the exercises, because the movement is different for men and women, a Chinese senior came over and tried to correct a male practitioner: "Your movement is wrong," he said. "It is different from the women."

One time, after we finished sending forth righteous thoughts at the Chinese consulate, we went to a major subway station in New York to distribute materials. Many people passed by. I was wearing a new leather jacket I had bought for the Chinese New Year. When a couple in their 20s passed by, I handed them material. They not only did not take it, but also hit my hand and the flyers scattered everywhere. When I was picking up the flyers, they even spat on me. They laughed at me and finally left. At that time my face turned red and white and I could not hold back my tears. I thought to myself, "I have never been humiliated like this in my entire life. In the past, I was always praised in my workplace and was in charge at home. I don't need to worry about food or clothes, and now I am humiliated in public." Then I thought, "I am a practitioner. Didn't I come for saving sentient beings and to assist Teacher in the Fa rectification? There are tribulations everywhere in our cultivation path, and we need to cultivate ourselves in the difficult environment." Gradually my heart became calm.

Very often there are xinxing conflicts among practitioners, too. One time a practitioner living in the same room with us lost all of her documents (passport, green card, etc.) when taking the subway. When she came back, she asked everyone to help her to send forth righteous thoughts. I then asked her whether she had asked Teacher for help and had sent forth righteous thoughts. She replied that she did not. I then became upset and thought, "She did not even ask Teacher for help at that critical moment!" I did not want to talk to her and I did not send forth righteous thoughts for her. She complained that I did not have compassion. Soon I lost my own card. This was the chance given to me to realize that, wherever there is a problem, that is where you stumble. I was not kind to that practitioner. Later when I asked my relative to help me get a temporary visa from the Canadian embassy, I took this practitioner along with me. As a result, everything went smoothly. When she was leaving the country, the two practitioners who were supposed to help her to carry her luggage were not there. I happened to be there. I then helped her to move a big pile of luggage on a cart to the bus station. She thanked me from her heart. I deeply felt the harmony of Dafa. Wherever there is an omission, there will be an opportunity and a setting to rectify ourselves.

Although the living conditions were very harsh and the pace was fast, I felt very calm. In the past, I had been to many countries and cities to clarify the truth and participated in many activities of Fa rectification in Vancouver. However, whenever I got home, I felt very empty and could not find my own space. I benefited a lot from this trip to New York, including upgrading my understanding of the Fa and improvement of xinxing and positive physical changes. I deeply felt that I was cultivating myself while saving sentient beings. Many friends told me that I had become very young and energetic.

After the DC Fa conference in July 2005, I came back to Vancouver. I realized that the Chinese consulate visa office in Vancouver was the CCP's most evil place in Vancouver. Everyday at least 300 people visit to get visas. They are from all over the world and all walks of life. Some have business and travel links to China, but the majority of them are precious Chinese people. That street is located in a very busy area. I decided that I needed to hold a banner, send forth righteous thoughts, and clarify the truth there. Before I went back to Vancouver, I shared my thoughts with practitioners in New York. They all supported me and prepared a set of banners and some materials for me. I also bought a small cart. Upon returning to Vancouver, I told the coordinators my intention, and they all fully supported me. I said that I would be stationed there. I realized that there are different paths in cultivation, and this is my path of cultivation: validating the Fa and saving sentient beings.

Office hours for the visa office at the Chinese consulate in Vancouver are from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. I bought a commuter ticket and transferred twice. I arrived at the visa office at around 8:45 a.m. After 10:00 a.m., other practitioners arrive. Everyday, at least two or three practitioners stay there. Monday to Friday are workdays for the visa office and I show up along with them.

In front of the visa office, we hung up banners saying, "Falun Dafa is good!" and "Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong." We played the music of "Pu Du" and the exercise music. I then distributed flyers or practiced the exercises at the site. The whole field is filled with compassion and the dignity of Dafa. So many people are waiting to be saved, and many supported Dafa after knowing the truth. I came to feel the responsibility of a Dafa disciple in the period of Fa rectification.

Two or three days after I held up banners in front of the visa office, the security person came to interfere. "What is your intention when you hang up the banner right across from the visa office? Hang it in your home." I said, "It suits here best, because the Chinese Communist Party persecutes innocent practitioners." He said, "This banner looks bad." I replied, "It is shiny gold. How come it is bad?" He said again, "How many days are you going to hold it? When will you stop holding it?" I said, "When the persecution ends." He said, "It is impossible." I said, "Why is it impossible? Have you read our Dafa materials?" He said that some practitioners gave them to him before, and he was aware. I told him, "You do this because it is your job. I came here because people who have the same faith as I do are being persecuted. It is good for you if you do not interfere with us; you accumulate virtue. Good deeds will be repaid with good, and bad deeds will be paid back with bad." Other practitioners also came over to clarify the truth to him. He gradually changed his attitude. Sometimes he would pick up materials that others threw away. Last time when Hu Jintao visited Vancouver, we went to hold banners at the airport. Therefore, we did not go to the visa office for several days. When we returned, he asked me where I went and how come I did not come? I can tell that he has sympathy for us and he has compassion. This year the "Global Chinese New Year Gala" tour hosted by New Tang Dynasty Television came to Vancouver for the first time, and I invited his whole family to the gala. He was very happy. The next day he told me that the show was great.

I also met a few people who were severely poisoned and who treated us viciously. Not long ago a senior over 60 years old claimed that he was from New York. He said that we were paid $50 every day, and he attacked Dafa. I could not tolerate him. I looked into his eyes and told him, "Do not attack my Teacher." He slunk away after that. Another time, one person who looked like an intellectual said, "The Dafa book is good. However, your Teacher did not even go to college." I said, "You read this book. That indicates that you still have kindness. Although my Teacher did not go to college, this book Zhuan Falun is respectfully read by people in 70 or 80 countries. You cannot achieve this even if you have a doctoral degree. Neither Jesus nor Buddha Shakyamuni attended college." He did not say another word and left.

Every day we distribute a large amount of Chinese and English materials and the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party." Many passersby greet us with polite smiles and take the materials. Some gave us fruit or offered money. I told them that the reason I was here was to let everyone know about the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party and that Falun Dafa is good. I did not come here for money. One time a gentleman from Mainland China wanted to give us a check to buy materials. And several others wanted to donate to The Epoch Times to print the Nine Commentaries. We often had people who came to the visa office ask for our materials. One time a gentleman who looked like an entrepreneur asked for seven copies of the Nine Commentaries and our materials. He said that he was not afraid and put them in his suit pockets.

One day at noon in mid-February of this year, I was distributing materials. A Westerner in his 30s accepted my materials. He walked away and came back after a little while. He knelt down in front of me with both hands conjoined in front of his chest. He was saying something. Although I did not understand English, I felt that it must be another life supporting Dafa after knowing the truth.

We have stories every day. We come across kind people, people with negative reactions, and people who do not care. Overall, clarifying the truth face-to-face truly is a good forum for cultivation. I feel very calm and happy. Here I'd like to end my speech with Teacher's words in "Teaching the Fa at the Western US International Fa Conference:"

(Clearwisdom.net) I realized some time ago that I should carry Falun Dafa books with me so that I could read and study the Fa whenever I had time. Studying the Fa more can increase our diligence and lead to a good cultivation state. Recently, I enlightened to some new things.

Before July 20, 1999, I carried Dafa books with me everywhere. I cultivated my xinxing, studied the Fa at every moment and read Zhuan Falun everyday. Due to my efforts, I achieved a wonderful state! No matter which paragraph others were reading, I would know it immediately if they missed any words or misread anything. I knew which lecture and which section they were reading and could instantly turn to the correct page where we were reading. While I was in such an excellent cultivation state, I could read all nine lectures in one day. Upon seeing the first sentence, I could read out the next. It seemed that my mind moved quicker than my eyes.

Regretfully, I didn't memorize Zhuan Falun. After July 20, 1999, I detoured in my cultivation. I packed away my Dafa books and dared not do the exercises. After a short period of time, I forgot the contents of the books. I couldn't even repeat one sentence from the book. I could only remember what I understood then: "Be a good person and don't do bad things." By this time, I even couldn't adhere to this. All the everyday people's attachments to self-interest emerged. Several practitioners who obtained Dafa earlier than I did persisted in cultivation, validating Dafa and clarifying the truth. They also helped me awaken from being lost. Every day we sent forth righteous thoughts together. I sat there, pretending that I was sending forth righteous thoughts, while in actuality my mind was running wildly and couldn't be stilled for even 10 seconds. Although I tried very hard, I couldn't control my mind any time I sent forth righteous thoughts. So I looked for Teacher's Fa lectures about righteous thoughts. The first piece I found was "Eliminate the Dark Minions With Righteous Thoughts." I started memorizing the Fa from this article.

The first sentence of the article is, "With regard to things at present." I spent a whole morning trying to memorize these six words. But I just couldn't. I made up my mind that I must memorize the Fa and continue my efforts. I read these six words again and again. Finally, Dafa's power eliminated the interference and I was able to remember two sentences in the afternoon. I spent more than ten days trying to memorize the article. I memorized everyday and every hour. It took me a lot of time and effort to memorize it well.

After I memorized "Eliminate the Dark Minions With Righteous Thoughts," my mind was able to enter tranquility as soon as I sat down to send forth righteous thoughts. I could enter the state of ding as soon as I finished reciting the formula. The energy was running throughout my body without blockage. My body became very tall and huge. The feeling was very wonderful. At that moment, I realized that I hadn't wasted one second in those 10 plus days. While memorizing the Fa, my everyday person's unclean thoughts were eliminated. The Fa had cleared away all the unrighteous elements in my field. Later, I didn't bother calculating how much time I had spent memorizing the Fa, nor did I pay attention to how fast I was memorizing. It was good enough as long as I was memorizing the Fa with a clear mind. When I had time, I tried to memorize the Fa I couldn't remember yet, and when I didn't have time, I just recited the Fa I already remembered. No matter how busy a person is, his mind can't be fully occupied with what he is doing. Other thoughts are very likely running in his mind as well. It is better to recite the Fa than having the mind occupied by other, unclear thoughts. Even though we are only reciting the same sentence, it is the Fa that is in our minds. What we cultivate is precisely our mind. Teacher and Dafa have given us everything. We are no longer everyday people. Every single thought of ours will have an effect. Every single incorrect thought will make us drop to a lower level and interfere with the validation of Dafa and the salvation of sentient beings or even be taken advantage by the evil. Cultivation is very serious. We must watch every thought of ours. How can we maintain a good cultivation state otherwise?

Even if we can't memorize that much, as long as we memorize some part of the Fa very fluently and clearly, it can help us eliminate the interference, clear our body, and uplift the realm of our thoughts. When we study the Fa, send forth righteous thoughts, distribute truth-clarifying materials, and clarify the truth in this state, the effect will be very good. It is the state of a god.

Initially, I always simply read through the Fa, regardless of how much I could understand. I didn't try to dig out or ponder over the deeper meanings, lest I enlightened wrongly about the Fa's truths. This method was very good. Yet I could only enlighten to what was at my level in that way. When I didn't have the time or opportunity to read the Fa, what could I have to guide me? In this evil environment and among the pollution of everyday people, how could I continue to improve based on my own understandings? It definitely wouldn't work in the long run. So we must remember Teacher's original words. This way the Fa will manifest itself when we are experiencing tribulations.

While memorizing the Fa, I obtained different understandings towards a single sentence. After I became clear about the Fa-principles, I knew clearly what to do and where to go on my cultivation path when encountering problems. I won't become bigheaded at one moment and drop into depression at the next moment. That is not the state of a true cultivator.

True cultivators are very clear about the Fa-truths. No matter how great the pressure is, they can always maintain their xinxing and solidly validate Dafa, clarify the truth and save sentient beings. I once asked a practitioner, "How did you manage to get through all the tribulations all those years?" The reply was very simple yet showed her firm faith, "With the Fa principles that are beyond human beings." She had memorized Teacher's "Turning the Wheel Towards the Human World" before I could read it fluently.

Teacher has been requiring his disciples to study the Fa and study the Fa more, ever since he started disseminating the Fa. And we really have been studying the Fa everyday. Yet how much has registered in our hearts? How much have we remembered? So I decided to persist in memorizing the Fa. When I have the time, I memorize the Fa I can't remember yet; when I don't have time, I just recite the Fa I have already memorized very well. I memorize the Fa while cooking, walking, working, and during breaks at work. I memorize the Fa before I sleep and after I wake up. I even memorize a few sentences during the night when I change my position while sleeping so that all sentient beings within my dimensional fields are being assimilated by Dafa at every moment.

(Clearwisdom.net) Nowadays many fellow practitioners are searching for their respective fundamental attachments. I have been contemplating the same issue for a long time. I thought I had identified my fundamental attachment, but I had never exposed it. I seemed somewhat reluctant to part with it. As I continued to dig into it, I realized that I had depended on it and even tried to protect it. My fundamental attachment is doubting whether Falun Dafa is real.

My doubts started as soon as I obtained the Fa in 1997. It was an obstacle in my cultivation practice. I had treated it like thought karma, denying it when I studied the Fa. During group Fa study or experience-sharing gatherings, I would suppress it with my knowing side. However, it would surface and interfere with my thoughts whenever I let my guard down. Its direct goal is to drag me back to the everyday people's level.

When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started its persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, I was still very determined in my cultivation practice. I had no fear despite the threat of forced labor camp. I even went to Beijing alone to safeguard the Fa. However, I failed to validate the Fa when I arrived at Tiananmen Square. In hindsight, it was my fundamental attachment that had stopped me from doing so. At the pivotal moment, thought karma surfaced and said to me, "Is Falun Dafa real? If it is real, is it worth sacrificing my life for it? But if it is not real, I will make myself look ridiculous."

I had a hard life before I obtained the Fa. When I was little, I was known as a good, obedient child in my neighborhood. After I reached adulthood, I experienced endless tribulations. I was even sentenced to two years in prison because my relatives and friends deceived me. In addition, I entered a pyramid sales scheme because of a relative's arrangement. I was deceived by fake kindness, fake sincerity, and fake altruism. As a result, my close relatives and friends lost a lot of money. I felt terribly guilty. But when the real Falun Dafa that I have been waiting for through numerous reincarnations came into my life, I hesitated to believe in it wholeheartedly.

This obstacle stopped me from obtaining the Fa for several months. Several accidents, demanding business activities, and a lack of time presented themselves. It was not until a Fa conference was held in my area that I overcame all kinds of interference to attend the conference. As soon as I entered the Fa conference, the powerful energy field of over 1,000 fellow Falun Gong practitioners enveloped me. I found a seat in the back of the conference room. As soon as I sat down, I noticed the Falun emblem on the stage. Like an orphan who has just found his parents, tears poured down my face. I shouted out loud in my heart, "I want to return to my true home! This is not the place for me."

During those years before the persecution started, Teacher hinted at my fundamental attachment several times. I still remember them to this day. Nevertheless, my fundamental attachment survived stubbornly. The old forces used it to interfere with my cultivation practice. For the past few years of cultivation practice after the persecution started, I was not diligent enough. I stumbled and fell repeatedly. Even to this day, I stumble and fall because of it. For the past two years, I have been doing the Three Things with varying degrees of diligence. I didn't have a sense of urgency. I hesitated especially when I clarified the truth face to face. Sometimes thought karma would tell me, "You are in no position to give advice on other people's illnesses when you have illness yourself!"

This became an excuse for me to slack off in my cultivation practice. I was ashamed of myself compared to those diligent fellow practitioners. On the other hand, I thought, "If I had undergone such a tremendous health improvement like they did, I, too, would have been as diligent. Isn't clarifying the truth simply about telling people the facts about Falun Gong? It is no big deal." The truth is that I was unable to do anything because my xinxing level was not up to par.

Sometimes I would think, "Each practitioner has a different cultivation path. Each practitioner experiences tribulations. Perhaps this is a test for me. I might not recover my health until the end of the Fa-rectification. Even if my illness remains, I will have an unshakeable faith in the Fa. But it does not seem like a path Teacher has arranged for us. How can I clarify the truth and save more people if I am not completely healthy? Isn't this the old forces' arrangement? Did I sign a pact with the old forces in the past?"

I dared not face or admit these complicated thoughts because they shouldn't have come from a cultivator, especially a veteran cultivator. This is the precise reason why I must expose these thoughts. The very reason why I wrote this article was to expose my fundamental attachment. Only by studying the Fa more will I be able to eliminate my fundamental attachment to self and selfishness. Teacher said,

"This instant is precious beyond measure." ("Teaching the Fa in the City of Chicago")

(Clearwisdom.net) In the comment on "exposing the local evil deeds to local people," an experience sharing article published on the Clearwisdom website on November 15, 2003, Teacher wrote:

Now the evil deeds of the CCP, such as the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, have been exposed, and it is more urgent for us to do well in clarifying the truth and rescuing fellow practitioners.

According to my personal understanding, practitioners outside of China with favorable conditions should extend their full potential to expose local evildoers to local people in Mainland China. When the news of persecution is published on the Clearwisdom website, we should coordinate with local practitioners to stop the evildoers by means of telephone, fax, or internet. With the purest mind, we should form a whole body with practitioners in Mainland China and rescue all of our fellow practitioners.

You Janli, the manager of the Security Department in Lianhu District in Xi'an City, brutally persecuted Falun Gong practitioners in Xi'an. He illegally arrested a dozen or so practitioners at various times and put them in forced labor camps. In December 2005, You Janli was appointed to director of the Lianhu District Jail, but he kept delaying reporting to his new job. It turned out that he had been suffering from liver cancer since December, and it was already in a late stage.

In 2001, the Security Department manager in Jiangxi Tractor Factory, Chen Gongxin, summoned all practitioners at the factory to the conference room and began slandering Dafa and Teacher, and ordered practitioners to do the same. Practitioners who refused to follow along were locked up and some were sent to brainwashing sessions. Chen was very aggressive in persecuting practitioners and would always take the lead in the persecution. One day in 2005, he died at home after coming back from a party.

The Officer of Criminal Court #1 in the Changchun Superior Court, Zhang Hui, age 46 and born in Nongan City, was the principal in the trial of Dafa practitioner Liu Chengjun, who tapped into the television network to broadcast truth-clarification programming on March 5, 2002. Zhang died suddenly of a stroke on March 2^nd of this year.

Deputy Sheriff Zhang Shichun, 44 years old, from Xinlitun Town, Heishan County, Liaoning Province, just reported to work from his previous position in the security department at the county police department. Within the first few months of his new position, he did his best in cooperating with the government to arrest practitioners, and searched for and confiscated Dafa materials. On the eve of the Chinese New Year, he fined some practitioners between 2,000 and 2,500 yuan and threatened to put them in jail if they refused to pay. Zhang led a group of policemen in police cars to a village to harass practitioners, but found nothing. He slandered and insulted Teacher, and ordered practitioners to do the same. He also humiliated and called practitioners names, and said, "I want to drag all practitioners in this city out." Practitioners tried to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to him so that he could understand, but he refused to listen.

At around 3:00 p.m. on March 8, 2006, Zhang had an argument with a mentally ill person, and was hit by the man with a shovel on the back of his head. He fell down and lost consciousness. It was said that the back of his skull was broken and he bled profusely. Zhang is still in intensive care in Fuxin Hospital.
