[Tangshan, Hebei Province] Deceptive Videotape Recorded at Labor Camp to Mislead the Public
On March 26, in order to coordinate with Jiang Zemin's criminal persecution of Falun Dafa, Tangshan female labor camp authorities used deceptive videotaping of practitioners and their family members to create the illusion of Falun Dafa practitioners being "reformed." They said to practitioners, "It is not good that Falun Dafa practitioners have no Dafa books to read." They gathered dozens of practitioners, including Chen Yuying, Liu Xuefen, Li Xiujie, Liu Yulan, Zhou Qiuyun, Zhang Guiying, Zhang Huiying and Gang Liying, telling them that they would escort them back home to get books. When the police car escorting them arrived at the homes of the practitioners, there were a lot of their relatives and friends waiting for them at the front door. It turned out that the labor camp authorities had informed family members in advance that the practitioners would be coming home to visit them. As soon as the practitioners stepped out of the car, their family members, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came forward. It is common for the long separated family members who meet again to embrace together and cry, however, unknown people kept videotaping the practitioners and their family members from the side. The wardens would not even allow the practitioners and their family members to talk. They kept videotaping when practitioners were looking for Falun Dafa books at home. No practitioner was allowed to stay at home more than 10 minutes. When they left, the wardens would not even allow the practitioners to take some clothes for the changed weather. All the practitioners were videotaped during all these activities. Afterwards, the wards confiscated all the books the practitioners took from home. It was not until the practitioners were taken away again that their family members awoke from the dream; the practitioners were allowed to come home just for the videotaping. From this experience these families of Falun Dafa practitioners realized that the stories about Falun Gong on TV were fictitious!
We do not know what kind of lies Jiang Zemin's criminal group will create during the period of the United Nation Human Rights Commission Conference.
[Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Punished with Cruel Instruments at Detention Center
I am a practitioner from Hebei Province. I was once a medical patient in critical condition; it was Falun Dafa that saved me and gave me a second life. Ever since Falun Gong was persecuted in China, I have been detained many times, especially during the Spring Festival 2000 period. I went to Beijing to appeal and was escorted back to No.3 Detention Center of Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province. I learned that the police received a secret call; they viciously tied me up, beat and tortured me. My left arm is permanently handicapped due to the beating. While beating me, the police said, "We want you to shiver when you see police in the future!" They also threatened me many times, "You are forbidden to tell people that your diseases were cured by practicing Falun Dafa; if you do we will extend your prison term!" Some Falun Dafa practitioners were beaten unconscious. Police punished them by hanging them up. Another method of torture is that they tied the hands of practitioners up and forced them to kneel down; then they would put a round club on their legs. Two people stood on either end of the club, and rolled the club back and forth. Police also burned the practitioners' hands and faces with lit cigarette butts. They also tied practitioners up with ropes, untied them, and then retied them repeatedly. This caused so much damage that the practitioners were unable to put on their clothes by themselves and had to ask for fellow practitioners to help. Even though these various cruel tortures are totally inhuman, we continue practicing Falun Dafa with unwavering hearts.
We appeal to the international human rights organizations to investigate and stop the criminal behavior of officials at the No.3 Detention Center of Qinhuangdao City.
[Changchun, Jilin Province] Illegal Action by Railway Station Authorities

[Changchun, Jilin Province] Puyang Street Office Fabricates "Guarantee Letters" of Falun Dafa Practitioners
In an attempt to obtain letters of guaranteeing not to practice Falun Gong from Falun Dafa practitioners and to deceive the common people, the Puyang Street Office of Changchun City made fabrications, and claimed that certain persistent Falun Dafa practitioners (practitioners that constantly refused to write "guarantee letters") wrote "guarantee letters."
[Binzhou, Shandong Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Xu Zhiqiang's Registered Permanent Residency Is Cancelled Because of Cultivating Falun Gong
Falun Dafa Practitioner Xu Zhiqiang from Binzhou City, Shandong Province went to Beijing last November to appeal and was arrested.

[Heilongjiang Province] Fuyu Labor Camp Illegally Maltreat Falun Dafa Practitioners
Nearly 70 male Falun Dafa practitioners are imprisoned at the fourth brigade of Fuyu Labor Camp in Heilongjiang Province. Every day they must endure what is called "forced reformation" for 10 hours where the inhumane measures used at the Masanjia Labor Camp are applied. These Falun Dafa practitioners, illegally imprisoned, receive only two meals a day, consisting of salty vegetables, radishes, and gruel of corn sediments. Water rations are also insufficient. Their living conditions are extremely dreadful.
[Deyang City, Sichuan Province] Women and Elderly Are Persecuted
On March 30, 2001, Deyang City of Sichuan Province intensified its persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners. That same day, the Mianzhu City police tricked female Falun Dafa practitioner Kou Juan into leaver her work unit and she refused to be reformed. In addition, Qin and her husband, both elderly persons, were forcibly carried from their home by a swarm of policemen 朮u, an elderly woman, was also taken away. Twenty-one Falun Dafa practitioners (five male, sixteen female) are now imprisoned at the Deyang City penitentiary (the authorities also calls it "Escalating Science Education School"). In the near future, according to police, Deyang City will begin forcibly "reforming" all those practitioners who refuse to do so, and those who refuse will be imprisoned indefinitely until they are "reformed." Who knows what other kinds of torture these women and elderly people must suffer in the future!
[Shenzhou City, Hebei Province] Criminal Activities of Liu Zhanfu, the Judicature Manager of a Village of Shenzhou City
At midday on March 12, just as my husband Li Wanning and I were about to begin the afternoon's work on the farm, the Judicature Manager of the village Liu Zhanfu and the Secretary of the Politics and Law Committee Li Xiaoliang, led by the public security person of the village, came to my home and asked me whether I would continue to practice Falun Gong.
I said how I had benefited physically and mentally from practicing Falun Gong. We did not want to say something that would go against our conscience, and we did not want to give up our belief. Liu Zhanfu would not listen and began to beat and abuse both of us. I told him that good and evil deeds shall receive corresponding retributions, and that they must pay for their evil actions and for violating the law while supposedly enforcing it; but, he simply did not listen, and very quickly he called in a group of people and vehicles from the township government. We had not violated any laws and we had a lot of housework to do, we had to care for our children and our ailing parents, therefore we did not want to be taken away. I hid in my room, while my husband hid on the roof. My husband was found, and was tied up by quite a few people. They brought him down from the roof and forcibly dragged him into their vehicle. My husband suffered an awful skin abrasion. Afterwards, Liu Zhanfu and Li Xiaoliang broke into my room and forcibly carried me to the vehicle.
Inside the car, Liu Zhanfu insulted me by shamelessly saying mean and indecent words such as how he would strip off all my clothes and torture me. Upon arriving at the entrance to the township government, Liu Zhanfu brutally threw me to the ground, dragged me into a room, viciously and mercilessly slapped me in the face and beat me with wooden stick and broom, causing many places on the right side of my face, my two knees, and buttocks to bruise. My husband was even more miserable. Upon arriving at the judicial institute, Liu Zhanfu first slapped him in the face ferociously, then whipped his face powerfully with a broom, immediately following that, Liu roughly threw him to the ground, and went all out to beat him with the broom, until the broom had broken in two. After a little rest, Liu Zhanfu mercilessly beat my husband with steel handcuffs until nearly his entire buttocks turned purple. Over 80% of my husband's body was wounded. His two legs were swollen and he could not bear to sit down or walk because of the pain. After a while, Liu dragged my husband to the courtyard and forced him to clasp a cement pole to which he was then handcuffed. Seeing that the handcuff was not tight enough, Liu tightened it forcefully again and again...
The judicial institute escorted both of us to the county police station that night. Without signing any documents, we were illegally detained by force for 15 days.
[Beijing] Help Family Members to Build Righteous Minds; Don't Give Wicked People a Chance
In Qinghua University at the end of March, a woman practitioner was leaving a building on her way home from work. She saw there was a police car parked outside the building and a university cadre was with the policemen. She realized the situation was dangerous so she went back to her office and called her husband. Soon her husband arrived and began to argue with the policemen and the cadre. He tried his best to protect his wife and in the end, the police's plot failed. From this event, we learn that a practitioner should not only cultivate oneself, but also should help family members to build strong righteous minds, so that wicked people don't have any chance to undermine Falun Dafa.
[China] The Leader of a Work Unit Praises Falun Dafa Practitioners

[Deyang, Sichuan Province] Authorities Hold Illegal "Transformation Class"
Recently, the authorities in Deyang City established a school called the "Advocating Science Education School" by changing the name of a former adoption center. The authorities detained many Falun Dafa practitioners in the "school" and used many so-called "reformed" persons to confuse practitioners. They utilized both hard and soft means and tried to reform the practitioners by exploiting the remnants of their attachments.
As of now, over 20 practitioners from Guanghan (district) have been forcibly taken to, or deceived into entering, this "school." For example, practitioner Huang Yunyun is a resident of Section 11 of Xianfeng (Pioneer) Brigade Xinfeng (New Harvest) in the town of Guanghan. The policemen told her that they were just going to have a talk at the local police station. But after she got in the police vehicle, the police drove directly to this so-called "school" where she was placed in detention. Practitioner Chen Wenming--who lives in Section 2 of the Fifth Brigade in Beiwai County, Guanghan--went home after work. Over 20 policemen came and took him away by force. They sent him to the "school" that night.
It is said that this is the beginning of the first "transformation class." Hopefully all the practitioners in that area are careful so that these oppressive people don't take them away.
