Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhang Anpu from Tongcheng County, Xianning City, Hubei Province was arrested on April 6, 2006, and died as a result of torture on April 30, 2006. The right side of his lower back had a red mark that covered a large area, and there was swollen tissue behind his neck.

Mr. Zhang Anpu, 38, was an electrician, and lived in Tongcheng County, Xianning City, Hubei Province. On April 6, 2006, he was arrested by three plainclothes policemen at the New Post Office street side, located in Beimen, Tongcheng County seat. He was then detained in the Tongcheng First Detention Center.

Inside the detention center, Mr. Zhang Anpu was cruelly beaten by guards, causing his whole body to swell, and he appeared to have heart disease. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials extorted four thousand yuan from his family, and released him at 11:00 a.m. on April 29, 2006. Due to the severity of his injuries, Mr. Zhang Anpu died at 10:00 a.m. on April 30, 2006.

On April 6, 2006, Tongcheng County Political Security Agents Zhang Ding'er and Li Yingcan (both male) followed and arrested Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Huang Aihua and Mr. Du Chengwu as well.

In July 2000, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Shu Zusi from Shang Kuotian Township, Tongcheng County was arrested when farming in the field, and died several days later after being brutally beaten.

Mr. Zhu Hanlong is a practitioner from Wuhan City. He is more than 30 years old now and lives in No. 1 Village, Sanyanqiao Community, Jiangan District. When he was distributing the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party in August 2005, he was reported to the police. He was illegally arrested and sentenced to forced labor immediately. He was then transferred to the Hewan Forced Labor Camp.

From then to the middle of October, within just three months, Mr. Zhu was so severely brutalized that he went from a robust young man to a shell of a man, covered with cuts and bruises and near death. Both of his arms were covered with burns made by cigarette butts. Both of his wrists were slashed and had developed two large blisters, which still have not healed. On the top of his head, there are two holes as wide as two thumbs. It has been learned that the guards incited the inmates to cut his head with cups and create the holes. The holes never healed, and there is pus and blood in the wounds.

The Hewan Forced Labor Camp was afraid of bearing the responsibility for his death, so they informed his family and released him unconditionally. But when his wife, brother, and sister saw him, they were all frightened. What they saw was a withered, unconscious man, covered all over with cuts and bruises and sinking fast. The labor camps acknowledged that he had not eaten or had fluids for more than a month. His family sent him to the hospital and tried to treat and cure him with every means possible but without success.

When other practitioners learned the news, they supported him. With their strong righteous thoughts, Mr. Zhu Hanlong broke through the life and death trial and survived. The miracle of Falun Gong manifested in him. But all the tribulations had done him irreparable harm. Besides physical torture, he had also been subjected to mental devastation. He was also injected with unknown drugs by the doctors in the labor camp. After being released, he was in a trance most of the time. Also he developed a sensitivity to light and difficulty controlling his words and actions. He even ran to the Hewan Labor Camp several times and asked to be returned. His condition makes people very anxious.

One day at end of July 2004, the police illegally arrested me and sent me to Jinzhou Forced Labor Camp. Because I refused to follow their orders to get my hair cut and wear the prison uniform, they brutally beat me and put me into the "small cell for new arrivals." As soon as I arrived there, I saw a man with his hands cuffed behind his back, and wearing a helmet. He was very thin and had a gray beard, which almost covered his face. At first, I did not realize that he was my fellow practitioner Mr. Jia Jingwen. Although we had been close friends for over a year, I did not recognize him until I took a close look.

Within only three months, this practitioner who used to have black hair, a glowing complexion and who looked much younger than his peers had been tortured to such an extent. The guards immediately put me in the iron chair and my four limbs were locked onto it. Then a criminal named Chen Changbin and a detainee whose nickname was Shan Dianxia beat me. When Mr. Jia saw them beating me, he nobly tried to stop them, but they then started to beat him. Because I had been on a hunger strike at the detention center for six days, and they brutally beat me as soon as I arrived at the labor camp, I passed out in the iron chair.

At midnight, the sound of brutal torture woke me up. Because Mr. Jia firmly sent forth righteous thoughts, four or five criminals took turns brutally beating him. He shouted loudly, "Falun Dafa is good!" They then put excrement on a cloth-covered rope, and gagged his mouth with it. Starting around 4 a.m., they forced me to sit in the iron chair for 24 hours, and my legs and feet started to swell. The criminals then put Mr. Jia into the iron chair. Later I found out that they often locked him in the iron chair for a week. The longest period had been 15 days. One can only imagine the suffering he experienced.

I spent 15 days with Mr. Jia in the small cell. They handcuffed us every day, and they beat him several times a day. From April to September, they always tortured him in the small cell. The persecutors often burned his skin with fire and cigarette butts. In August, I was taken upstairs, so I was separated from him. However, during those 15 days when I was with him, I witnessed the persecution he suffered.

Jia Jingwen's wife tells about the persecution of their family

My husband Jia Jingwen was sent to the forced labor camp in 2000. They tortured him to the brink of death in this hell on earth known as Jinzhou Forced Labor Camp. He almost lost his life, and a formerly happy family was devastated. We have a home, but cannot go there, and we as a couple cannot be united.

We started to practice Falun Gong in 1995. My husband gave up his bad habits of smoking, drinking and gambling, and I recovered from illness. In 1999, the persecution started and our lives were turned upside down. Because we appealed several times, they sent us many times to the custodial center, detention center and extorted money from us. Our belongings, including VCD and cassette player were also taken away. We both lost our jobs. In 1999 when we went to Beijing to appeal, we were incarcerated in a custodial center and the police extorted 1000 yuan from us.

During the period when we were appealing in Beijing, eight police officers in the Jinhua Police Station, led by the chief, beat my husband. They took off his clothes and kept beating him for four hours, and gagged his mouth with very smelly sneakers. A police officer named Luo Yingtao even tightly bound his penis with a shoelace. My husband said, "You should be more humane." Luo replied, "Humane? I tell you what, we policemen are half hooligans."

As they kept persecuting us, we were forced to abandon our home and lead a homeless life since 2000. In 2002, the Baigu Police Station sent us to a detention center, where the Linghe District Police Department extorted 2000 yuan from my family before they released me. In 2004, my husband was persecuted at the Jinzhou Forced Labor Camp, and later transferred to the Benxi Forced Labor Camp.

Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp in Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province, is a concentration camp for detaining Falun Gong practitioners. All male practitioners sentenced in Shaanxi Province are sent here for illegal detention and persecution. Female practitioners are detained in the Shaanxi Province Women's Forced Labor Camp.

In November 2005, practitioner Mr. Chen Jiansheng from Xi'an City was tortured to death in Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp. After his death, the labor camp still incited the drug addict inmates to disguise the truth and lie, saying that Mr. Chen had been released on medical bail to cover up for the guards who had committed the crime. Even the inmates who were confined with Chen Jiansheng didn't know the truth about his death.

In the years between 2001 and 2003 when the persecution was at its worst, Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp implemented the 'three-minute "transformation'" for newly admitted practitioners. They confined the practitioners in a dark small cell with no windows and had drug addict inmates or guards beat them brutally with wooden sticks. After the battery, they asked, "What's the color of the wall?" If the answer was "White," they continued the battery until the practitioners couldn't endure any more. If they followed the guard's will, they answered, "The wall is black." Then they were asked, "What's Falun Gong? Is it an evil religion?" Many practitioners were tortured brutally. The ones who refused to be "transformed" often got beaten until they were disabled. Practitioner Mr. Zhang Jianmin from Hua County was beaten until he only had three teeth left. For several years he was only able to consume liquids and had a hard time eating. Mr. Zhang is now being detained and persecuted for the second time in Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp.

At that time, the education squadron was focusing on detaining practitioners. Under the command of political leader Lu, guards Hou Baicheng, Wang Xinwei, Ma Zhuming, and others brutally persecuted practitioners. The most commonly used torture was "studying." Everybody had to sit up straight at a 90-degree angle on a small bench, no talking or moving allowed, from 7:00 a.m. until midnight. For a whole day, practitioners were not allowed to move. It was more tiring than working all day. Some often fainted. This kind of persecution often lasted one month, two months, or more.

The drug addicts took away practitioners' food, basic necessities, and money. The addicts used the money to buy cigarettes. If practitioners didn't give them enough money, they would get beaten. The guards assigned each drug addict to monitor one practitioner, even when the practitioner went to the bathroom. When they were in a bad mood or couldn't get any benefits from practitioners, many drug addicts tortured practitioners. When practitioners wanted to go to the bathroom, the monitors wouldn't let them go. Some even ended up urinating in their pants. Even if they were allowed to go to the bathroom, the monitors would count to five and rush them back to their cells right away. The guards always incited the inmates to do this.

Once in 2003, practitioners decided not to passively accept the illegal persecution by the inmates. They declared that they would not admit any of the so-called 'transformation" and would continue to practice Falun Gong firmly. The guards locked up all practitioners in a dark room on the third floor. They turned off the lights and beat the practitioners with batons brutally. The torture lasted for an hour. The main party responsible for that incident was political instructor Lu of the education squadron.

At the beginning of 2004, a practitioner (name unknown) from Xianyang refused to be "transformed" and was being persecuted brutally. One day, Chen Bin from Xi'an Jiaotong University came to Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp to give a speech to slander Falun Gong. Everybody was gathered in the auditorium, but this practitioner who refused to be "transformed" was left in his cell. The guards incited several drug addicts to tie him to the bed and stuff his mouth with a towel and beat him brutally for over two hours until they saw he was at the brink of death. When others came back from the speech, they found this practitioner covered with bruises and blood and he couldn't even move. Everybody knew what was going on, but nobody dared to ask because in the Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp, nobody was allowed to ask about Falun Gong.

In May 2004, due to the exposure of the persecution facts to the outside world, the infamous education squadron was dismissed, but the persecution continued.

During the second half of 2003, Mr. Ma Fujian, a practitioner from the northern part of Shaanxi Province, was detained at Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp. Because he refused to be "transformed," the camp was planning to lock him up in a solitary cell. After being confined to a solitary cell, one is completely separated from others. Whatever happens in the cell is totally unknown by anyone on the outside, and they can do whatever they want to persecute practitioners. Mr. Ma knew what they were planning to do, so he refused to cooperate and refused to get into the cell. The guards then locked him up in the 3rd Team of the 1st Group. All other practitioners in the 3rd Team were transferred to other places. Mr. Ma started going on a hunger strike. The guards then force-fed him using rough surgical tubing and intentionally made his nose, mouth, and stomach bleed. It was so cruel that the drug addicts couldn't even stand to see it. This brutal force-feeding lasted for three months. Three months later, Ma Fujian's esophagus and vocal cords were severely damaged due to the brutal and continuous force-feeding. He almost lost his ability to talk and hasn't been able to talk properly since. Because Mr. Ma refused to cooperate, in the two years he was at Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp, he was never allowed to go outside the cell and he was always locked in the cell, sitting on the little bench.

After April 2005, Mr. Ma Fujian started reducing his intake of food to avoid the brutal persecution of going completely on a hunger strike. This soft hunger strike went on for four months. He went from eating six buns a day to only drinking a bowl of porridge. In August of 2005, at a height of five feet seven and a half inches, he only weighed 55 pounds. He was just skin and bones and looked terrible. In June he went on a complete hunger strike. The doctors only gave him one bottle of intravenous fluid and were afraid of giving him more. His condition got worse and he was dying. The guards were afraid of him dying in the labor camp, so they assigned people to take turns monitoring him 24 hours a day. By then, Ma Fujian had lost the ability to sleep, and his eyes were open 24 hours a day. Because the guards were afraid he would die in the camp, in June 2005, they released him on medical bail. According to the diagnosis of the doctors in the labor camp, all of Mr. Ma's major internal organs were failing. When his family saw him, he was having a hard time talking. Ma Fujian and his family asked for an explanation, but all the guards from the 1st Group went into hiding. Unable to obtain any explanation after a whole morning, his angry family had to take him home. His current condition is unknown.

Beginning in 2004, all newly detained practitioners were first locked up in a very small cell of less than 10 square meters. There were no windows in the cell so there was no way for people who were locked in this cell to know what was going on outside. There was no monitoring system in the cell, so nobody would know or care about what was going on in there, even when people were being beaten to death (e.g. Chen Jiansheng). Usually three drug addicts were responsible for monitoring one practitioner. It was not allowed for any of the four of them to have any contact with other people. The door was locked from the outside 24 hours a day. Nobody knew what was happening inside. In fact, this is a dark den within a dark den. The four of them did everything in the little cell. There was only one toilet inside .The smell was very bad. All newly detained practitioners were sent to this kind of cell. The main persecution was to only allow practitioners to sleep for no more than three hours. The rest of the time they had to sit on a small bench and read books that slandered Falun Gong while being monitored 24 hours a day by inmates. If they didn't get "transformed" and didn't cooperate, the guards would incite the monitors to beat them. The most severe persecution happened in the 2nd Group. Two inmates would hold up one practitioner while another inmate beat the practitioner brutally. They took turns when the other one was tired.

The inmates beat the practitioners who didn't give in once an hour. Practitioner Mr. Chen Jiansheng from Xi'an was beaten to death like this when he went on a hunger strike and clarified the truth and told others about the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. In November 2004, Mr. Zheng Shijian, an employee from Fengjiashan Reservoir of Baoji City, was beaten on his mouth with shoes 50 times because he ate one more bun in the cell. He was unable to eat for several days. The practitioners in the small cells often had bruises all over their bodies. After midnight, there were always screams and cries from the cells.

Some "transformed" people sometimes were sent to the small cells as well. Mr. Qiang Mensheng from the Weibin District of Baoji City was locked up in the small cell because he refused to write anything to slander Master and Falun Gong. He was only allowed to sleep for three hours a day. Before his term was up, he was sent to the cell because he refused to answer questions on paper to slander Master and Falun Gong. The guards assigned inmate Xue Weibin to persecute him. Xue abused and beat the over 60-year-old Mr. Qiang every day and didn't allow him to sleep. Because Mr. Qiang refused to give in, his term was extended for another month.

The belongings of practitioners in the small cells were often taken away. Their money was used by other inmates and guards to buy cigarettes, tea, and daily necessities. The inmates who participated in persecuting practitioners in the cells were often praised and their terms were reduced. When other practitioners sent a small pouch of milk powder to Mr. Chen Mingan who was on a hunger strike, the drug addict from Doumen Town, Changan County, Xue Weibin, took it to exchange for cigarettes without thinking about the practitioner's life. His term was reduced by a month because he "contributed" to transforming practitioners. These inmates benefited from beating up practitioners who were the age of their own fathers. There is an unwritten provision at Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp: One is not allowed to beat others--except for practitioners. One is praised for beating practitioners. One is allowed to encourage drug addiction, stealing, and deceit, but one is not allowed to teach others to be good.

One inmate liked to make friends with practitioners. He liked to listen to Falun Gong's principles of teaching people to be good. As a result, he was treated the same as practitioners and was locked up in a small cell to be brainwashed and "transformed." The camp was trying to transform good people into bad ones. Everybody who was able to "transform" or beat practitioners got assigned to be group leaders and was given rewards by having their terms reduced. A drug addict, He Weiwei, who is still in Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp, was assigned by the guards to be a group leader and was promised a three-months reduction in his sentence because he beat practitioner Mr. Zhang Guolin. Every six months in the labor camp, "models" were selected. Some people said Falun Gong practitioners were always models without being selected because they never cursed people or beat others and they liked to help others and do good things. However, the people who got selected were actually people who were persecuting the good people and were the drug addicts and thieves who persecuted practitioners. For example, the drug addict Ge Pengfei from Lingshansi Village, Yuxia Town, Hu County, was very strong and he could hurt somebody with one punch. He was assisting guard Zhu Dangxu to persecute practitioners. He became a group leader because he participated in beating practitioners in the 2nd Group. Later he was transferred to the 1st Group and he was selected as a "model" because he beat practitioner Mr. Zhang Guolin at the instigation of Zhu Dangxu.

Guards Zhu Dangxu, Wang Wei, Yang Yalong, and Liu Zhiqi were all actively participating in persecuting practitioners. Practitioner Mr. Chang Hongji had to stay in bed and was not able to move due to high-blood pressure and a heart attack. Guard Zhu Dangxu told somebody to pull Mr. Chang into his office and beat him up. Mr. Chang couldn't get up to report his number due to illness. Zhu Dangxu beat him and forced him to stand up to report his number. Wang Wei and Zhu Dangxu also participated several times in beating practitioner Mr. Zhang Guolin.

In June 2005, Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp got the task of processing glass beads. The beads, as small as mung beans, needed to be processed on sand wheels to have 32 sides. If there one side did not match the others, the bead would be considered defective. Guard Liu Zhizhi arranged for practitioners to work from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. In between, there were only three 30-minute breaks for meals. To justify the 16-hour illegal intensive labor, Liu Zhiqi said that the 1500 product assignment was based on an eight-hour-day. But in reality, nobody could finish the work within eight hours. If many people were able to finish it within eight hours, he would increase the number of assignments. Practitioner Mr. Zheng Shijian was older and slower. Plus other inmates often intentionally stole his finished products or said his products were defective on purpose. He had to stay up until midnight or even 1:00 a.m. to finish his work. The next day, he had to get up at 6:00 a.m. again to continue to work. Unless the electricity was out, they had to work without any breaks. Practitioner Mr. Sun Jianjun had bad eyesight. He couldn't even see the hole to pull the thread through, but he was still forced to work until 10:00 p.m. every day. Liu Zhiqi commanded, "Old or young, as long as you are alive, you have to work on this." Some elderly practitioners had poor eyesight. Liu used "transformed" Zhou Jiankui as an example and said that Zhou was very nearsighted but he could still do it, so others should be able to do it, too. In fact, Zhou Jiankui's eyes were red and swollen every day and he was relying on eye drops. Liu Zhizhi also often contracted for heavy-duty construction work and forced practitioners to work outside in the winter. Every day practitioners had to get up at 7:00 a.m. to work and were not allowed to eat until 5:00 p.m.

At the end of November 2005, Chen Bin from Xi'an Jiaotong University established a brainwashing center in Fengxiang County, Baoji City. The guards from the Transformation Office in Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp invited Chen Bin to give speeches on "transformation" and started a month of "war against steadfast practitioners." They persecuted all practitioners in the labor camp even more brutally. I will provide more detailed reports about this.

Mr. Zhao Yanlai is a practitioner from Li County, Hebei Province. In the past five years, because he practices Falun Gong, he has been persecuted by the CCP and forced to stay away from his home.

Mr. Zhao Yanlai was an employee of the former Li County Cement Factory (now called the Jingbian Factory). Before practicing Falun Gong, he had many diseases, such as severe hepatitis, gastritis, neurasthenia, etc. He needed medication throughout the year. He was also a heavy drinker and tended to bother others after drinking. He once swore at his workplace's Party Secretary. He even beat and injured customers and other employees' family members. At home, he swore at his wife, and they had a very tense life.

In August 1995 of the lunar calendar, Mr. Zhao Yanlai was very fortunate to start practicing Falun Gong. After that, his illnesses disappeared. He became healthy and stopped drinking and smoking. He also stopped gambling and no longer beat or swore at others. His family relationships also improved. While disciplining himself with the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," his attitude toward life changed fundamentally.

One day, Mr. Zhao Yanlai gathered the things previously taken from his factory, put them in a cart, and returned them to the factory. He said, "I took these from the factory in the past. Now I practice Falun Gong, and Teacher asks us to be good people. So now I am returning them." Everyone on the site raised their thumbs, "Falun Dafa is so good! Yanlai is like a different person!"

On July 20, 1999, the CCP started a nationwide persecution against Falun Gong. In accordance with his basic rights granted by the constitution, Mr. Zhao Yanlai went to Beijing on that same day to appeal for Falun Gong. However, he was arrested and detained in Li County Detention Center for half a month.

In the winter of 1999, Mr. Zhao Yanlai wrote a letter to the Appeals Bureau of the State Council with his real contact information. In the letter, he described the mind and body improvements he had experienced since practicing Falun Gong. Because of this, Li County National Security Group Chief Chen Guixing and some other officials sent him to the county detention center and detained him there for about two months.

One night in February 2001, at about 1 a.m., Zhu Bin and several other policemen from the local police station broke in and arrested Mr. Zhao Yanlai from his home. They confiscated his Falun Gong books, tape player, meditation mat, flashlight, etc. In the police station, Zhu Bin and others interrogated Mr. Zhao Yanlai and later sent him to Baoding Forced Labor Camp.

In the labor camp, police guards tortured Mr. Zhao Yanlai brutally in order to "transform" him. They also brought in some former practitioners who had enlightened along an evil path to try to persuade him. Mr. Zhao Yanlai was also deprived of sleep for 48 hours. Seeing they were unable to "transform" Mr. Zhao, the officials sent him to Group II for labor. Once a day, Group I Head Li Dayong specifically went to Group II to "visit" Mr. Zhao Yanlai and beat him brutally with police batons when he saw Mr. Zhao still practicing Falun Gong. Li Dayong also instructed prisoners to tie him to a wooden pole and then sealed his mouth with tape. After several days, without any cause, Group II Head Pan Dehong stretched Mr. Zhao's arm upward and handcuffed him like that on the wooden pole for an entire day. After 20 days, Mr. Zhao was brought back to Group I for enforced persecution on the fourth floor.

In June 2001, Mr. Zhao had an opportunity to return home. He was very clear that there is nothing wrong with following the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," let alone should a person be persecuted for doing so. Therefore, he did not return to the labor camp. As a result, the police looked for him all the time and sometimes even broke into his home at midnight attempting to capture him. Mr. Zhao Yanlai has consequently been forced to stay away from home during the past five years.

One evening in October 2004, Mr. Zhao Yanlai returned home to visit his wife and granddaughter. Five minutes after his arrival, the police came. Using his wisdom, Mr. Zhao escaped, but one of his relatives (also a practitioner) was arrested. Later, that relative also escaped with righteous thoughts.

Mr. Zhao's oldest son passed away, and his youngest son often went out of town to make a living. Therefore, only his wife, who is in her 50s, and a less than 10-year-old granddaughter are left at home. At the end of 2003, his wife was severely ill and was bleeding internally from a tumor in her uterus. She was in a life-threatening situation. Mr. Zhao Yanlai's wife has had difficulty enduring the endless harassment from the police. Whenever she hears someone come to the door, she gets nervous and her heart pounds rapidly. Over the past several years, the elderly and the young have spent thousands of days and nights in worry and anxiety.

1. [Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Four Falun Gong Practitioners from Baoding City, Including Zhang Rongjie, Still Face Persecution

According to a reliable source, the cases of Falun Gong practitioners Zhang Rongjie, Zhi Zhanmin, Liu Yongwang and Wei Haiwu, who were illegally arrested because they are suspected of tapping into the TV network to broadcast truth-clarification programming, have been transferred to the Shijiazhuang City High Court.

After the unlawful trial of the four practitioners began, Falun Gong practitioners in Baoding City took action to collect information on related officials. Practitioners from around the world, together with the local practitioners, made phone calls and mailed letters to stop the persecution and rescue fellow practitioners. Related officials were shocked. Also, because of the powerful defense by the Falun Gong practitioners' lawyer, the Baoding City Intermediate Court did not issue a verdict and instead turned it over to the high court. The detention of the practitioners was extended by one month. We hope Falun Gong practitioners in Shijiazhuang City can collect the phone numbers of related people's places of work, families and relatives and post them online, so other practitioners can use various means to clarify the truth and rescue fellow practitioners.

2. [Jiaohe City, Jilin Province] Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Wang Zhanshan is on Hunger Strike to Protest Arrest and Persecution

3. [China] The CCP is Trying to Stop the Dissemination of Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and The Real Story of Jiang Zemin

It is learned that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s General Administration for the Press and Publication held a meeting and demanded that its branch bureaus block overseas publications from entering China. It listed the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and The Real Story of Jiang Zemin at the top of its ban on publications from entering China. It is said that the Nine Commentaries is sold at a certain place in Mainland China.

Although arrangements were made throughout all levels of the regime at the CCP meeting, mostly via oral orders, written documents were retracted after the meeting because the CCP wants to prevent leaving behind "evidence of crime."
