Truth and People's Hearts
I obtained the Fa in 1998. I was arrested twice in the year 2000, but I never betrayed Dafa. In January 2002, police searched my home, and one brainwashing group came to my house as well. I kept on sending forth righteous thoughts; they did not find anything. I was forced to go to a brainwashing class on February 6th, but I did not write anything. Then they sent me to a drug rehabilitation center. The director of the center said to police, "You can send her wherever you want to, but I do not want her." So they had to send me home that evening.
Practitioners Exchange Insights
On March 7, 2002, police arrested me and brought me to the Beidian Township Substation, Baoding County, because someone accused me of passing out Dafa materials. Police punched and kicked me, and beat me with a thick wooden stick. My lower body didn't have even one little piece of un-wounded skin. In the brainwashing class, my fellow practitioners and I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evils behind these police. As a result, they either left because of headaches or with other strange excuses. I walked out of there effortlessly under the protection of our Master, and rejoined the current of Fa-rectification.
News From China
Mr. Fan, a high-ranking engineer at a university's construction department and also a Dafa practitioner, worked hard and remained uncorrupted. In March 2002 he was illegally detained for 15 days, only because he insisted that Falun Gong is the righteous Fa. Later, the evil thugs forced him to attend a brainwashing class lasting two months. In order to resist the evil's persecution, Mr. Fan had no choice but to leave his home.

Free Asia Broadcast Station report: The "Blue Extreme" Internet Cafe in Beijing was burned down by a fire that later was found to have been set by two young local teenagers as a form of revenge. The Beijing government immediately ordered all Internet cafes to temporarily shut down. This decision has attracted criticism from many Internet users in China. One user said, "The government should take responsibility for this incident and shouldn't blame it all on the Internet cafe." An Internet cafe owner in Guangzhou City expressed disagreement with what the deputy mayor of Beijing said: "An Internet Cafe is like marijuana."
Report from Voice of America (VOA): Internet users from all over China strongly criticized the government's restriction on Internet bars, by demanding why it was so scared of information exchanging. An Internet user wrote on the Qiangguo forum, "Beijing City is so big, how come only 200 Internet bars are given license to operate legally? How can this meet people's needs? This is wrong!"
