4. [Changchun, Jinlin Province] Practitioner Zou Aiguo Kidnapped From His Home
On the morning of January 29, 2002, at about 8:00 a.m., 8 policemen of a criminal police team of Jian City Public Security Bureau kidnapped Zou Aiguo from his home. His whereabouts are unknown.
Zou Aiguo and his wife established a kindergarten in Changchun City. When he was arrested, his wife was teaching music to the children. She went out of her classroom when she heard some noises. She found that Zou Aiguo was being beaten, lying on the ground, and his body covered with blood. Such a brutal scene terrified the kids. His wife solemnly warned the gang to stop the beating and also dialed 110 for the police. Instead of stopping their brutality, the kidnappers grabbed her cell phone out of her hand. They handcuffed Zou Aiguo in a smaller classroom and locked his wife in a large classroom. Then they searched and looted their home. They took away truth-clarifying literature, all the cash they could find and deposit books.
When the kidnappers left, they told Zou''s wife that they were policemen working with the Police Team of Jian City Public Security Bureau. They also screamed, "Why you still care about this money? You should care about how to get your husband back. To tell you clearly, this time he won''t be back home."
Before leaving home, Zou told his wife that she should have a strong will and he was already well prepared not to give in to them.
We hereby appeal to all fellow practitioners who read this news to send forth righteous thoughts and eradicate the evil forces so that we can help Zou Aiguo get out of the Jian City Public Security Bureau with his solid determination and righteous thoughts.
5. [Shenyang, Liaoning Province] Police Pierce a Practitioner''s Body with Nails Over 100 Times
On the morning of August 25, 2001, the police from the Dadong District Yaochang Police Station arrested a few practitioners. They suffered inhuman tortures in this police station. Han, a policeman from the First Section of the Shenyang Public Security Bureau, and Zhang Bin, together with a few other policemen, joined in brutally beating those practitioners. Practitioners Liu Mingte and Zhang Chaoguo were beaten for a whole day. They were beaten until they were black and blue all over their bodies, and their faces were badly swollen. For refusing to tell his name and home address, Liu Libo was beaten by the police from the First Section of the Shenyang Public Security Bureau for nearly two days and one night. His entire body was covered with wounds. They also inhumanely tortured him by driving nails into his body, making over 100 nail holes. There were two wounds on his face, which were burns caused by cigarettes. He was unable to move his arms and stretch his body to stand up for a long period of time. When practitioner Jiang Xiufang (female) asked to use the restroom, they refused her request and beat her even more viciously. After she defecated in her pants, they still refused to let her change. She was forced to stay in this police station wearing her dirty pants for two days and two nights. On the evening of January 25, Han and Zhangbin beat and kicked Jiang Xiufang brutally. The inside of her legs were beaten till they turned dark blue. They also beat her face relentlessly with slippers and burned her face with cigarettes, causing her to suffer severe headaches for more than two weeks. Han has even declared that in his 10 years as a policeman, there has never been a case where he has not beaten someone.
The practitioners listed above have not given in to the tortures exercised by those vicious perpetrators.
6. [Shijiazhuang, Hebei province] Female Practitioner Li Fengzhen Arrested
Zhengding County Practitioner Li Fengzhen, female, 50 years old, is a retired official of the County Healthcare Bureau. She was illegally detained and fined for appealing for Falun Gong in Beijing on April 25, 1999. In July 2001, a distribution site of Falun Gong literature was discovered and damaged and the County Public Security Bureau arrested 20 practitioners. However, a large number of truth-clarifying materials are still being spread in the county, both in the main city as well as in outlying villages and townships. Particularly after the persecution in Zhengding County was exposed on Clearwisdom.net, the local police bureau and government officials have suspected that Li Fengzhen was the "main organizer."
In December 2000, they searched Li''s home and arrested her. According to an insider''s information, Li Fengzhen suffered a brutal beating by the police at her home when she protected Teacher''s pictures and truth-clarifying literature. That night in an interrogation room of the County Public Security Bureau, she was handcuffed to an iron hoop in a painful position, unable to stand straight or squat down. She could only stand with her back bent. The next day they interrogated her with torture.
On December 31, 2000, her husband Cui, a practitioner who was working in Shijiazhuang City, went to Zhengding County Public Security Bureau and questioned the police about why they arrested his wife. The police became very angry and arrested him immediately. Currently, this couple is being held in Zhengding Detention Center. We sincerely hope that kindhearted readers will help to secure Li Fengzhen and her husband''s release. Please call the following telephone numbers to condemn those who are involved in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.

7. [Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang City] Practitioners Sent to Forced Labor Camp
Police in Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang City illegally sent 4 practitioners to a forced labor camp.
Bai Jingyi, female, 23, from Nanniu Township, Zhengding County, went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa on April 25, 1999. After the official persecution of Falun Dafa began on July 20, 1999, she biked to Beijing twice to make appeals for Falun Dafa, for which she was detained for 3 months. She went on a hunger strike to protest the treatment by the police and was later released unconditionally. In July 2001, she was detained for distributing materials about the persecution and is still being held now.
Wei Zhanjun, male, 30, a journalist from Zhengding County Broadcasting Bureau, went to Beijing to make appeals for Falun Dafa in March of 2000, for which he was detained for 3 months and fined 5000 Yuan. [Translator''s note: 5000 Yuan is approximately ten months'' earnings for an average Chinese urban worker.] Because he refused to write a "Letter of Repentance" or a "Declaration" against Falun Dafa and continued to practice the exercises, he was stripped of his Party membership and lost his job and professional license as a journalist. In July 2001, he was arrested when he was distributing materials about the persecution and has been held since then.
Zheng Lanxia, female, 36, from Qiji Village, Xin''an Township, Zhengding County, went to Beijing 3 times to make appeals for Falun Dafa--on April 25, 1999, around July 20, 1999 and in March, 2000. She was brutally beaten, paraded around the city and publicly humiliated, and fined 5000 Yuan. She was released after going on a hunger strike. In July 2001, she was arrested while distributing materials about the persecution and has been held since then.
Zheng Lanrui, female, 38, a secretary in the office of the Sports Commission of the local government of Zhengding County, was detained for one month and fined 5000 Yuan. Because she refused to write a "Letter of Guarantee" that she would never practice Falun Gong again, she lost her job and was subjected to disciplinary action by the local Party. In July 2001, she was arrested distributing materials about the persecution and has been held since then.
The above four practitioners have been sentenced to 3 years in forced labor camp.
Phone numbers of the perpetrators:
- Sun Wanyong, Party Secretary of Zhengding County, 86-311-8022072 (Office)
- Xu Bingjun, Associate Party Secretary of Zhengding County, 86-311-8018688 (Office)
- Hu Jun, Associate Chief of the Public Security Bureau of Zhengding County, 86-311-8022276 (Office)
8. [Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province] Terror Reigns in Nanjing City
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the "610 Office" and the local governments have ganged up against Falun Dafa practitioners.
In Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, police have kidnapped many practitioners and detained them for 20 days. Their excuse for doing so was to "consolidate the control of the government." They are afraid that practitioners will go to Tiananmen Square in Beijing to raise awareness about the persecution. Based on decrees issued by members of the 610 Office at every level of the government, one of their key objectives is to prevent practitioners from going to Beijing.
9. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Practitioner Qi Aigui Missing
Female Practitioner Qi Aigui, from Dongli District, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, 39, went to Beijing to make appeals for Falun Dafa on August 9, 2000. She had been illegally imprisoned for supporting Falun Gong before. No one has heard from her for 17 months now, and no one knows whether she is still alive. Kindhearted people, please help us to locate her.
10. [Hengyang City, Hunan Province] Police Extort Money from Practitioners
In the fall of 1999, Li Baozhen (female) and Zhang Xuanshou (male), both workers from Qingshuitang Lead & Zinc Ore Co., Hengyang City, went to Beijing to make appeals for Falun Dafa and were later illegally detained. Local police demanded that the practitioners'' company hand over their wages, a total of 5000 Yuan, in the name of covering the policemen''s travel expenses for returning the practitioners from Beijing. After Li and Zhang were escorted back, they continued to be held at the local detention center for 38 days. They were only released after their families paid 2500 Yuan.
Where is justice when you are jailed for peacefully making appeals and your already-meager wages are taken by the police as a punishment? For the sake of justice, these two practitioners continued to make appeals in 2000 and continued to clarify the truth to the public. When they were in Xinjiang Autonomous Region, the police again kidnapped them. Policeman Liu Xiangqun, from Guanjiazui Police Station, extorted 1500 Yuan from Zhang''s son in the name of travel expenses when he notified their families to come to pick them up. In addition, someone from the 610 Office of the local government garnished 4000 Yuan from Zhang''s wages. What they are trying to do is really to "disable practitioners financially and destroy them mentally" [--from a directive given by the central government]. Meanwhile, they are shamelessly accusing practitioners of neglecting their families.
11. [Shenyang City, Heilongjiang Province] Crimes Committed by Policewoman Liu Baibing at Wanjia Forced Labor Camp
Liu Baibing is part of Section Seven of Wanjia Forced Labor Camp, and was formerly a police officer at Dongfeng Jail before she was transferred. She is one of the main perpetrators of crimes against practitioners at Wanjia Forced Labor Camp. She was made a Party member for her so-called "success'''' in persecuting Falun Gong.
She often swears at practitioners. Once, a practitioner did not follow her orders during the morning drill, and she slapped the practitioner across the face numerous times. When she was responsible for the Third Class in the South Section of the building, whenever practitioners did the Falun Gong exercises, she would kick and punch them. One morning, when a practitioner was making her bed, she stormed in the room, dragged her outside and beat her up until blood came out of her mouth. When she saw a practitioner from the Third Class on the third floor sit with his back facing the police, Liu went in and dragged the 50-year-old practitioner underneath the bed. When another practitioner tried to intervene, she turned toward him, kicked, punched, and dragged him out of the room to the staff room. Every day, she yells at and beats practitioners. Liu has beaten over a hundred people at Wanjia camp.
When Liu Baibing was responsible for the "Strict Management Class," where more severe measures are applied to practitioners who refuse to cooperate, whenever practitioners refused to cooperate with her, she would get the section chief and other guards to torture them. No one was allowed to say a word in the practitioner''s defense, and whoever spoke would be tied up. Ten out of the twelve practitioners in the class were tied up at one point, while the others were beaten. Some practitioners lost consciousness from the beating and the binding.

Panzhihua City Detention Center (also known as Wanyaoshu) and Yanbian Detention Center (known for its use of torture instruments) have held hundreds of practitioners. The police have used the most vicious means to achieve their goals, including ransacking homes, fining, detention, beating, sexual abuse, forced labor and imprisonment. Please help to stop this bloody persecution that is going on in China.
