[China] The new director of Disciplinary Committee: Why are there so many people practicing Falun Gong? Because Falun Gong is good!

The disciplinary Committee of one provincial office held an "Anti-corruption and promoting Honesty" meeting. The new director of Disciplinary Committee gave a speech, saying, "... Why are there so many people practicing Falun Gong? People still practice Falun Gong even when they are being treated so poorly. Because Falun Gong is good! After practicing Falun Gong, they really got rid of their illnesses and saved the tremendous cost of medical expenses for the government. Now, the corruption is so severe, the workers who are out of jobs are only paid 100 Yuan RMB (average monthly salary for an urban worker is 500 Yuan) per month, how can they have money to buy medicine, how can they not practice Falun Gong?"

[China] Policeman Tell the Truth: Why don't you learn from the Falun Gong Practitioners?

[China] Arrested without Cause, a Person with a Clear Mind has no Resentment and Hatred

Some police learned that three Falun Dafa practitioners from a work unit would go to Beijing to appeal and hurriedly called to notify their work unit to go to the train station to stop them. The person who answered the phone then tried to call the security department, but the call reached the insurance company and therefore delayed the time to stop them. After these three practitioners were brought back from Beijing, the work unit traced the responsibility and deducted from the person who answered the phone call 8, 000-Yuan RMB {approximately 16-month salary of an average urban worker}. However, this person was very happy, he said, "I have never dialed a wrong number in my life; this is really miraculous. Let them go to Beijing to fulfill their wishes so I can accumulate merit and virtue. It would be worth it to lose another 8,000 Yuan."

[Nongan County, Jilin Province] Dafa Disciples Are Arrested

On September 22^nd, Falun Dafa disciples Yang Shumei and Liu Jiqin, from Yangshulin Village of Nongan County, were arrested for no reason while walking along a road. In the evening of that day, Yang Shumei was brutally beaten up for not cooperating with the evil police. The following day, other fellow practitioners went to see her and found that, handcuffed and fettered, she lay on the ground with foamy saliva coming out of her mouth. She looked severely beaten up. Since the police couldn't get any information from the two practitioners, they sent them to a detention center. During the detention, both practitioners, asking to be released, went on a hunger strike. Having failed to make the two Dafa disciples submit, the police pretended to send them to a doctor in a hospital, but instead drove them directly towards Heizuizi Labor Camp. On the way, Yang Shumei escaped with firm righteous thoughts. Her whereabouts are not known. Liu Jiqin was illegally sentenced to forced labor.

On the same day that Yang Shumei was arrested, her husband Wang Qixue, also a Falun Dafa practitioner, received a phone call from the director of the Village Public Security Committee.

[Wei County, Hebei Province] Lawless Policemen Kidnap Practitioners in Public

When Minghui exposed the crimes of the evil people from Wei County who suppressed Falun Gong practitioners, the evil beings escalated their suppression by using lots of manpower, money, and materials to set up brainwashing classes in various detention centers. The evil beings then began arresting the practitioners and sending them to brainwashing classes as of August 20^th, 2001. Reliable sources have said that, according to policy, the classes will be held every two weeks until December. If a practitioner is not brainwashed after two classes, he or she will be sent away for forced labor.

Around 9 AM on August 7^th, 2001, practitioner Qi Ai, a cadre from the Wei County Earthquake Office, was arrested after she got off her night shift. The policeman Liang Ligang failed to show any legal documentation or evidence when he took Qi Ai away by force. She was sent to the Tangshan City Hehuagou Forced Labor Camp.

As a result, she was arrested and escorted back to the Wei County Police Department where she was detained for half a year. Later on, she was released after she went on a hunger strike to protest her term of detention. On August 20^th, 2001, a group of evil people ordered by the authority went to her house and carried her away by force while cursing and beating her at the same time; they even didn't allow her to put on shoes.

[Wei County, Hebei Province] Wei County 610 Office and Police Injure Elderly Neighbor When Arresting Practitioner

On August 21^st, 2001, the Wei County "610" Office and the County Police Department started their anti-Falun Gong brainwashing classes. The lawless policemen there worked with the village and town governments as well as other work units to arrest practitioners. Currently, more than ten practitioners have been detained in the brainwashing class held in the old police building.

Li Jingang, Director of the Wei County Hospital, ordered three of his hospital personnel to arrest Doctor Han Xiurong on the night of August 20^th. As Doctor Han was getting ready to go to sleep, Liu Youhong, Zhang Bing, and Zhao Shufeng, knocked on his door and broke the lock and windows. After they broke in, they began beating Han Xiurong while dragging her out of the house. An elderly neighbor heard the noise and came out to stop the illegal action; however, the criminal, Zhang Bing, beat the old lady without saying a word. The old lady's chest was severely injured.

The kidnapped practitioners have protested their suppression by starting to hunger strike. We call on all people in all levels of society to support the practitioners and call for an end to the persecution of The Great Law and its practitioners. We urgently appeal that all walks of life in the society support the practitioners and call for an end to the persecution of Falun Dafa and its practitioners.

[Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province] Laoyazhuang Town Government Official and Thug Zhang Jianjun's Crimes

Zhang Jianjun, the newly appointed Vice General Secretary of Laoyazhuang Town, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, utilized his power to cruelly suppress the practitioners so as to gain political capital for his promotion. His evil deeds have been denounced by practitioners and from people in many levels of society.

In October 2000, some practitioners went to Beijing to appeal and to speak out the truth of Falun Gong to the public and government. As a result, they were arrested and escorted back to Zhangjiakou city. Zhang Jianjun wrote some sentences slandering Dafa and the Teacher on a blackboard and ordered the practitioners to read the sentences in turn. When the practitioners refused, Zhang began to beat all of them, no matter how old they were. He slapped their faces until he was tired. Afterwards, he used a pair of gloves with metal zippers to slap them. Seeing that the practitioners still didn't comply, he kicked them with his boots.

Later on, he forced the practitioners to do hard and dirty work for free and he pressured the practitioners everyday to write repentance letters. He also threatened the practitioners with evil methods such as confiscating their relatives' property. He said, "I don't believe I can't fix you. I'll beat you now, but you're not allow to tell anyone." He often came to harass the practitioners at night and search for new articles from Minghui.
