Mr. Miao Shujun, a Falun Gong practitioner from Muling City, Heilongjiang Province, has been unlawfully detained in the Suihua Forced Labor Camp. On September 26, his family members went to visit him. They found that his face was terribly swollen and he could hardly move a single step. He told them, "I was beaten on September 22. As a result, I have been suffering unbearable headaches and chest pain. The name of the guard who led others to beat me is Shi Jian. The symptoms are getting more and more severe. The guards took me for an examination on September 25, but told me that there was nothing wrong." His family members were worried and went to visit him again on October 4. They were not allowed to meet him until October 8. Mr. Miao continued to suffer chest pain and dizziness. He threw up whatever he ate. Half of his body went numb. His wife confronted the guards in the labor camp about the brutality. A team leader named Lian Xin told her not to bring up the issue and claimed that she was in no position to look into it.

Presently, Mr. Miao's wife and mother are at the labor camp demanding the unconditional release of Mr. Miao Shujun. Bai Jiuyi, head of the administration section in the labor camp, told them there is no way to release him.

Practitioner Mr. Miao Shujun was arrested at 8:00 p.m. on November 6, 2005 at his home by four police officers led by Zhou Xinshen, head the city's State Security Division, and Sun Delong, of the city's No. 2 Police Station.

Mr. Miao Shujun, 38, has two children. One is an 8-year-old and the other is only 3 years old. The whole family relies on Mr. Miao's income. We appeal to all people upholding justice and all kindhearted people to support freedom of belief and help Mr. Miao get out of the unlawful, brutal persecution and return to his home as soon as possible.

Young Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Bo from Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province is being given nightly forced injections of unknown drugs. Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials who are trying to sentence Ms. Wang and her parents to prison are administering the drugs. They are planning a trial in an attempt to cover up the persecution to avoid condemnation from the international community.

Ms. Wang and her mother Ms. Liu Shuqin are "illegally held" at the No. 2 Detention Center in Shijiazhuang City. Her father Mr. Wang Xinzhong is held at the Zhao County Detention Center. The lawless officials are planning to try Ms. Wang and her parents under the charge of "disrupting the administration of law." The proceedings are to take place at the Preliminary Court in the Changan District Court in Shijiazhuang City at 9:00 a.m. on November 10, 2006. A trial notice has been posted in the front hall of the Changan District Court.

Ms. Wang Bo went on a second hunger strike at the No. 2 Detention Center in Shijiazhuang City on October 19 and requested her unconditional release. She has been on hunger strike for 20 days, and her condition is worrisome. The Communist regime has sent at least two soldiers to inject her nightly with drugs. They give her IV infusions after she loses consciousness. They are trying to destroy her willpower.

The local police, Procuratorate and court collude with one another in persecuting Ms. Wang and her family. The Changan District Procuratorate in Shijiazhuang City has reported Ms. Wang's case to the Shijiazhuang Intermediate Court under fabricated charges. Wang Yongzhi, an official from the Hebei Province 610 Office who persecutes Falun Gong practitioners, feared condemnation from inside and outside China. He issued a secret order that a verdict must be issued regarding Ms. Wang's case within one week.

A brief summary of the persecution of Ms. Wang Bo and her family:

Ms. Wang Bo, her father Wang Xinzhong, and mother Liu Shuqin from Shijiazhuang City went into exile to avoid persecution. They were secretly arrested on the evening of September 27, 2006 at their rented home in Dalian City. The Hebei Province "610 Office" agents failed to "reform" them through brainwashing and transferred the three practitioners to a detention center, where they have so far been held.

Ms. Wang Bo has endured tremendous tribulations for persisting in Falun Gong practice. She was tortured and subjected to brainwashing. She and her parents were repeatedly arrested and sent to forced labor camps, and their family was separated many times. They reunited in August 2005, but they soon went into exile again after Ms. Wang publicly exposed the Party's brainwashing schemes and persecution. Hebei Province "610 Office" agents issued arrest warrants for all three practitioners and pursued them. They were arrested again on July 27, 2006, taken back to Shijiazhuang City from Dalian City and detained under false charges. Ms. Wang chose to go on a hunger strike to protest the persecution.

As stated above, Ms. Wang began her second hunger strike on October 19, 2006 at the No. 2 Detention Center in Shijiazhuang City and concurrently requested unconditional release. Her father lapsed into critical condition in mid-September 2006 and was sent to the hospital emergency room. His current condition is still perilous, with a blood pressure reading of 180 over 140.

After the arrest of Ms. Wang's family, her family and friends were extremely worried. Ms. Wang's 86-year-old grandmother wrote two letters of appeal, asking for Ms. Wang Bo's and her parents' release. She wrote, "This family became healthy, and they stopped quarreling with each other after they started practicing Falun Gong, and I'm truly happy for them. After only a few short years of a serene life, however, the police began to fanatically arrest Falun Gong practitioners. My daughter told me that Falun Gong requires people to be good, according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and Falun Gong restores health. Why are the police arresting Falun Gong people as criminals? Aren't they confusing right and wrong? Everyone has parents and children! Please be reasonable, be kind, take pity on me, an 86-year-old woman! Take pity on Wang Bo and her parents, and let them go home!"

Tibetan Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Zhao Longzhi and his wife Ms. Luo Na were illegally arrested by local police officers and members of the 610 Office on January 31, 2006 (the third day in the first Chinese lunar month). The officers also searched their home. No information is currently available on the couple.

Practitioners Mr. Zhao and his wife Ms. Luo were Falun Gong assistants before the persecution started on July 20, 1999. They gave their all to help spread the principles of Falun Gong to Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet. After July 20, 1999, they headed out on a journey of thousands of miles to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. Ms. Luo Na suffered from severe nausea while riding the bus, and eventually on the night when they reached her hometown, they were caught by a group of officers from the Tibetan Police Department who had followed them. The police stopped them, and two days later took the couple back to their work unit, where the couple was placed under surveillance.

In 2000, Mr. Zhao and Ms. Luo went to Beijing again to make a statement that Falun Gong is good. They were arrested and beaten in Tiananmen Square. After being sent back to Tibet, they were sentenced to two years of forced labor and held in the Lhasa Forced Labor Camp.

In 2002, when the forced labor terms ended, the labor camp authorities held them in custody for fifteen extra days, as they refused to write "guarantee statements" promising to quit practicing Falun Gong. In the end, the Najin Electric Factory took them back and placed them under strict surveillance and deprived them of time away from work. Later, Ms. Luo was pregnant and wanted to deliver the baby in mainland China. She was not granted leave to visit her parents until 2003.

On January 31, 2003, the third day of the Chinese lunar new year, local police officers and members of the 610 Office became suspicious that Mr. Zhao and Ms. Luo were distributing truth-clarifying materials. The officers searched the couple's home and took them into custody. No family visit has been granted. It has been reported that Mr. Zhao Longzhi and Ms. Luo Na were unlawfully held in the Lhasa City Detention Center. Police officers in charge of the case claimed that the paperwork has reached the courts.
