Right now, police authorities in the Qingdao area have forced every owner of an Internet cafe to spend 2,000 Yuan [500 Yuan is the average monthly income in urban area of China] to install web-filtering software, which was developed by Qingdao City's Shichuang Technology Company. This software connects Internet Cafes to a computer located in the police department. It automatically records the history of each Internet session, all messages from ICQ chat rooms and also can automatically send out an alarm. Now, each user is required to register his or her identification number [similar to a Social Security Number] at the Internet cafes.

On June 15, during the Duanwu Festival, thousands of local people climbed the mountain to pick fleabane (an aster-like flower, thought to drive out fleas). It was crowded. This year, as compared to last year's festival, the mountain was covered with colorful banners reading "Falun Dafa is Good," "Falun Dafa is the Righteous Fa," "Remember Truth-Compassion-Tolerance." Kind-hearted people were all pleasantly surprised. Policemen, however, were scared to death. They immediately blocked access to the mountain. However, Dafa practitioners had already returned. The banners fluttered in the trees for more than ten hours.

The same day, at other places in the same city, practitioners also hung up banners or clarified the truth in other ways.

At present, the atmosphere at Qinghua University campus is tense. Policemen are patrolling back and forth and the number of security personnel has dramatically increased, all because a couple of days ago Beijing Dafa practitioners distributed Dafa truth-clarifying materials at some locations in Qinghua University. Some Dafa materials were even found in buildings on the west side where the residences of policemen and community committee members are located, resulting in this area being put under tight surveillance. The police security and monitoring are completely due to following Jiang's political directives against Falun Gong.

Ms. Jia Xiamei is a Dafa practitioner from Qinghua University. She has been detained at the notorious Tuanhe Detention Center for more than half a year because last November she posted Dafa truth-clarifying materials. During the past half a year, Jia Xiaomei insisted on continuing to practice her righteous belief and abide by her righteous thoughts, and never yielded to the persecution and brainwashing.

Ms. Dong Yanhong is a Dafa practitioner, also from Qinghua University, and was illegally sentenced to jail. But even in jail she still insisted on practicing her belief in Dafa. Now the police have detained her separately and tightly monitor her. When family members visited her, policemen stood close by to watch her and restricted her topics of conversation with her family members.

When the police departments in China reorganized the so-called "special case group" to persecute Falun Gong, it allowed policemen to use any kind of means to deal with any case related to Falun Gong, with the caveat that no policeman be allowed to study Falun Gong books or become involved in a Falun Gong group, because some people in the former "special case group" indeed had become Falun Gong practitioners due to having more contact with practitioners. Some of the "special case" group members even have been illegally sentenced to jail or forced labor for practicing Falun Gong.

In an area under the supervision of a certain party committee director, no Falun Gong practitioner was being sentenced to jail or being sent to a forced labor camp. This director often told his friends, "The current movement against Falun Gong is similar to the period of the 'Anti Right Wing' when there was too much injustice. After being wrongfully treated for twenty years, the right wing was finally exonerated. Falun Gong will meet with the same result, sooner or later."

Dafa practitioner Mr. Han Xu is a university graduate who works for Gansu Province's Carpet Export and Import Company. On the night of May 2, 2002, an individual from Lanzhou City's Security Bureau forcibly covered Mr. Han's head and threw him into a car as he walked out of a friend's home. The police didn't present any legal documents, nor did they show their identification. The officers also forcibly confiscated four to five thousand Yuan cash, a credit card and a passbook containing over 10,000 U.S. dollars (approximately 120,000 to 130,000 Yuan) that Han Xu brought with him, planning to buy a house. Han Xu is now held in the Unit 3 of Team 11 in Lanzhou City's No.1 Detention Center, also called the Xiguoyuan Detention Center. The authorities didn't even inform Han's family of his abduction.

We have heard that some lawless officials in Liaoning Province held a meeting and schemed to dispatch staff to all cities to persecute Dafa practitioners. They said, "Sentence those who should be sentenced and detain those who should be detained." Beginning next week, the strategy will be carried out at Shenyang City.

In order to make room to hold Dafa practitioners, all criminals used to be held at Shenyang City's Ankang Hospital, a Drug Rehabilitation Center, are now transferred to the Masanjia Drug Rehabilitation Center.

According to reliable sources, since June 20, 2002, persons from Guangzhou City's "610 Office" [An agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems] started a raid in all provincial affiliated agencies and their subordinate units, and forcibly arrested over 60 Dafa practitioners. They issued political task orders to all units and directed the units to obey them. They said it would be considered "cooperating with the work." They involved all officials, from street administrative committees and police officers, to forcibly arrest steadfast Dafa practitioners. They caused lots of young children to lose parental care and have severely trampled citizens' legitimate rights granted by the constitution.

Practitioners Ms. Weng Zuxiu and Mr. Weng Zuguo from Honghu City are sister and brother. Younger brother Weng Zuguo's home was ransacked because he made some Dafa truth-clarifying materials and he was afterwards sentenced to a forced labor camp and is now held at the Shayang Forced Labor Camp. Elder sister Weng Zuxiu went to Beijing twice to appeal. She was fined 12,000 Yuan the first time and held at the Xinti Detain Center for over half a year. The second time she unfurled a banner and was detained in Beijing for a period of time before being taken back by the local police. She was sentenced to two years of forced labor and fined 5,000 Yuan. Weng Zuxiu is now held at the Xinti Detention Center and is very steadfast in her belief in Dafa. She carried out a hunger strike in the detention center many times. Her weight dropped from over 110 pounds to less than 90 pounds. She is in a very dangerous situation.

Long Fengying, the person from the Municipal Committee who is in charge of the "610 Office" and Director Shi are directly involved in this matter.
