[Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province] Policeman Ma Chunsheng Tortured a Falun Dafa Practitioner to Death
Recently, on the 6th floor of the Shijiazhuang Police Bureau Political Security Building, the brigade director, Ma Chunsheng, tortured to death a young Falun Dafa practitioner from Cangzhou city, Hebei province. The barbarity of this case astonished the entire Police Bureau. One old policeman, who declined to tell all that he knew, said, "This is too much to bear!" Many other policemen talked about it secretly. Brigade director Ma also felt the pressure, so he tried to curry favor with upper level leaders in order to cover up his crime. It was said that some major leaders of the Shijiazhuang Police Bureau intended to shield and absolve Ma Chunsheng and his accomplices from this crime.
We will report more on this matter after we explore the details.
[Beijing, China] An Engineer from the National Earthquake Department Was Driven To Mental Dullness
Practitioner Hao Ping was a 26-year-old engineer from the National Earthquake Department. On July 2000, he was arrested by policemen from the Wanshou Road Police Sub-station, and transferred to cell 8 of the Haidian District Detention Center. After one month of being inhumanely tortured at the detention center, Hao Ping's once bright mind became dull. Only then did the police from Wanshou Road substation release him. Because his wife had to take care of a two-month-old baby, he was sent back to his hometown, where relatives could look after him. We call on those who know the details to expose this crime.
[XX, Hebei Province] The Power of Falun Dafa
A woman practitioner from Hebei province had been to Beijing to protect Dafa many times. Once she went to Tiananmen Square four times in one week. Each time, she used her righteous mind to pass all tests, and protected Dafa again and again without fear of suffering. Another time, on a hot summer day, she and another practitioner rode their bikes to Beijing. The police stopped them on the road and arrested her companion, but using her righteous mind and wisdom, she escaped. She got away and decided to go to Beijing. The day was hot and she had to walk through fields to avoid the checkpoints set up by the police. When night fell, she was muddy and tired, but she could not enter any villages, since the police or security guards would arrest her immediately. She looked for a place to sleep outside, and to her surprise, she found a small pond with just enough clean water for her to take a bath. Afterwards, she washed her clothes and hung them beside the pond for the next day's journey. She slept soundly beside the pond that night. The next morning, she put on her clothes and once again felt energetic. When she looked around, however, the pond was gone, and her clothes and body were clean! She walked several days to reach Beijing. Along her journey, she found the mysterious pond three times. By the time she approached Beijing, her shoes were completely worn out, and her feet were full of bloody and watery blisters. That evening, she sat beside the road in full lotus position to practice and get ready for entering Beijing the next day.
When three other practitioners walked by and recognized her, they talked for a while and gave her a pair of shoes. Putting them on, she discovered they were exactly her size.
[Fuyang District, Anhui Province] Truth-clarifying Materials Cover all Streets and Lanes
[Changchun, Jilin Province] Police Start Mass Arrests and Ransack Houses
Starting on the night of March 14th, the police of Changchun city began to arrest Falun Gong practitioners en masse and ransack their houses. Practitioners in Changchun city: please take care of your personal safety and the safety of Dafa materials and books. We also call on the international media to pay attention to this and help eliminate this wickedness.
[Taian, Shandong Province] Authorities Offer 10,000 Yuan Reward for Arrest of Falun Dafa Practitioners
Recently, authorities in Taian city arrested and detained many Falun Gong practitioners out of fear that they might go to appeal in Beijing during the "Two Meetings" (Meetings of national level people's Representatives by translator). Some of them were sent to a forced "study class." Those who persisted on practicing in the "study class," such as Ma Junting and Yan Lanying, were sent to Wangchun Detention Center for forced "transformation." Some, such as Zhao Chuanfeng, Wang Chuanxiu, and Liu Zhengming, were forced to leave home. Others, such as Li Suping, Zou Guilian, were put on "Wanted Posters" with rewards of 10,000 Yuan (about two years of income of an average worker in China) on their heads.
We also heard that when the traffic police from other nearby cities went to the villages to check vehicle licenses, they forced everyone who wanted to apply for a license to sign a letter renouncing Falun Gong. They also incited the people to inform on practitioners for cash rewards of several hundred Yuan per practitioner. Unable to resist the temptation, a few people began sneaking into practitioners' houses to listen for Falun Gong Exercise Music, so that they might get some of the dirty money.
[Lanzhou City, Gansu Province] The Lanzhou Politics and Law Committee Cannot Shirk Its Responsibility for Persecuting Falun Gong
Lanzhou City authorities have stepped up their persecution of Falun Gong over the last six months, claiming that the number of people from this city who have gone to appeal in the capitol is the second highest in the nation. Accordingly, they organized a so-called "Transformation Training Class" for staff members in charge of persecuting Falun Gong in each work unit. They also established a "Supervisory Group" to inspect the quality of suppression in each work place. It is very common here to see illegal actions that infringe on human rights, such as detaining people for long periods of time. It has become especially bad this year. Before the Spring Festival, in order to coordinate with the new campaign against Falun Gong, each poliin the Xiguoyuan watch house as well. In the second half of last year, Zeng Qinghong's secretary, Zhang Zhiyin, was transferred to the post of vice Party Secretary in Lanzhou City. We believe that he has something to do with the escalation of the suppression in Lanzhou City. Besides, the secretary of Politics and Law Committee, Zhao Shitong and the vice-secretary, Jiao Wei, also have inescapable responsibilities as general directors for the persecution of Dafa practitioners.
Lanzhou Politics and Law Committee, telephone: 86-931-8437327
Jiao Wei's phone number: 86-931-8462951 Ext. 8529.
Vicious policeman Lu Zhibin, the head of the third regiment of the first department in Lanzhou police station, is a pioneer in persecuting Dafa practitioners. Insidious and malicious, he has devoted himself to the persecution since 1999, and has spared no efforts to suppress practitioners. After Xiao Yanhong and Xi Lilin's illegal labor re-education terms ended, Lu claimed they could not be released until they were transformed. Their jail terms were extended over six months, during which time they endured great tribulations. All labor re-education decisions regarding Dafa practitioners have to go through Lu, so he is a prominent figure in their persecution.
His phone numbers: Office: 86-931-8514641. Home: 86-931-8454196; Cell phone: 86-931-3930700.
At present, over 300 practitioners are detained at the Pingantai Labor Camp in Lanzhou city. The environment is very vicious there and Dafa practitioners are having a hard time.
[Beijing] Beijing Police Station Forcibly Takes Samples of Practitioners' Handwriting
The Beijing Police Station forced everyone on their list of practitioners to hand-copy an article about environmental protection so they could check each person's handwriting. The purpose for this is either to find out which practitioners wrote letters to the representatives of the "Two Conferences" (the National People's Congress & the National Political Consultative Conference), or perhaps they have some other conspiracy theories.
[Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province] Practitioners Are Persecuted in Lingyuan City
The director of the General Assistance Center of Lingyuan city, Tong Cuilian, has been arrested, and it is not known where she has been detained. Deputy director Li Zhanyuan went to Beijing to appeal, and after being arrested, he managed to escape with handcuffs on as he was taken back to Chengde City. His current situation is not known.
At present, there are over 40 practitioners in jail. Seven of them were sentenced to labor re-education, including Ma Yanhua, Du Shiming, Du Guofeng, and Zhao Yachun. They are detained in the Chaoyang City Labor Camp, together with other practitioners who went to Beijing to appeal in 1999. The Lingyuan Police Station is also very vicious. They forced practitioners to tear or step on Teacher's picture after they submitted high amounts of bail. Both kindness and wickedness will be repaid in the end, so we hope the Lingyuan Police Station does not imitate the bad deeds of other cities. In addition, during the "Two Conferences" period, all passengers from Lingyuan on the train bound for Beijing were rounded up and interrogated.

[Taian City, Shandong Province] Plainclothes Police Track Taxi
Recently, I went to Taian for some business. After arriving at my destination, the driver did not dare to stop and told the passengers nervously that there was a police car following us. Until then I hadn't noticed, but there was indeed a police car following us at a certain distance. The driver told us that recently there have been a lot more plainclothes police, and that many of them are hired vagrants. Sometimes they do not drive police cars but drive taxis instead, tracking and shadowing people everywhere. The driver worried that they may arrest him as a Dafa practitioner by mistake. He revealed an expression of disgust because he cannot help.
He didn't drop us off until he made a detour and was certain that the police car was no longer following us. Jiang Zemin and his talons not only persecute Dafa practitioners and interfere with their normal lives, but also seriously interrupt the normal social order and interfere in the life and work of the people.
