1. [Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Tangshan City Police Persecute Falun Dafa Practitioners
The Xiyao Police Station in Lubei District in Tangshan City, Hebei Province used the excuse of "verifying residential books" to round up Falun Dafa practitioners that were producing Falun Gong truth-clarifying materials. On January 15, 2003 the police arrested Falun Dafa practitioners at a site where Falun Gong materials were kept.
2. [China] International Mail Unlawfully Opened at Post Offices
Falun Dafa practitioners, please be advised that residents in China are required to go through formalities at designated agencies before mailing out compact discs from post offices. Packages with compact discs also have to be examined at post offices before being sent out. We request attention from Falun Dafa practitioners to this development.
3. [China] "Wang Jindong" Participated in the "Self-Immolation Incident" on Tiananmen Square to Escape Death Row
I was chatting with a new colleague who recently joined our company. He worked within a secret organization for nine years. He knows insiders, and is aware of some inside information that has not been made public. After discussing students that were killed in 1989, I changed the subject to the so-called "self-immolation incident" on Tiananmen Square. I was planning to explain to him what happened. However, he knew more than I did. He told me that someone within the government orchestrated this incident. One of the self-immolators came from within the "grand prison." I didn't know what the "grand prison" was. He said it was death row. He explained that someone sentenced to death was given the opportunity to stage the self-immolation in exchange for his life. No one would decline such a deal. I remember the prison he mentioned contains the word Qin, but didn't catch the exact pronunciation. Later I thought about this guy, "Wang Jindong", who had gone out of his way to frame Falun Dafa. It all became clear; he was trying to escape death row.
4. [Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Yue Yang Illegally Detained in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province
Falun Dafa practitioner Yue Yang from Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province (see previous reports at Clearwisdom.net) was arrested by the Jianshe North Street Police Station in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. He has been unlawfully held in custody at the No. 1 Detention Center in Shijiazhuang City for several months. Mr. Yue has remained strong and unyielding in his faith. As the Spring Festival approaches, his wife and young child are yearning for a family reunion. This is just another tragedy of family members being separated as a result of the persecution by the evil people in Shijiazhuang City.
5. [Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Exercise Caution in Regards to Experience Sharing Activities
Recently some individuals in Dalian City, Liaoning Province have been busy organizing experience sharing meetings among Falun Dafa practitioners. Falun Dafa practitioners who attended these meetings have been placed under arrest by the Police Departments and State Security Bureaus. Some practitioners walked away with strong righteous thoughts. Since practitioners have revealed a lot of personal information, it cannot be ruled out that the police have gathered information about these meetings to continue looking for Falun Dafa practitioners they consider "important."
6. [Shandan County, Gansu Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Li Yulian Unlawfully Sentenced to One Year of Forced Labor
On September 15, 2002, Zhang Zhiguo, the chief of the security section of the Charcoal Factory in Shandan County, Gansu Province, Ren Hong, member of the political security group of the county police department, and other police officers broke into Falun Dafa practitioner Li Yulian's home to take her to a brainwashing center. The reason was that Ms. Li distributed Falun Gong information to others. Ms. Li refused to go and in the end the police abducted her and forced her to attend the brainwashing class in the Zhangye Forest Park. Ms. Li went on a hunger strike for seven days to protest and talked about Falun Dafa to He Zhenjiang, Li Jianping (female) and other staff members at the brainwashing center on numerous occasions. She told them that kindness and evil each get repaid in kind. He Zhenjiang and others not only refused to take any advice; they also sentenced Li Yulian to one year of forced labor on December 18, 2002. She had refused to write the "three statements" [Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write these as proof that they have given up their belief. Created by the "610 Office," the three statements consist of a letter of repentance, a guarantee to never again practice Falun Gong, and a list of names and addresses of all family members, friends and acquaintances who are practitioners.].
7. [Jianchang County, Liaoning Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Ding Chang was Abused
Ding Chang, 58, is from Xiabazi Group at Donggou Village in Yaolugou Township, Jianchang County, Liaoning Province. Ding went to Beijing to validate the Fa in 1999 and was arrested by the police on March 12, 2002. Ding was unlawfully held in the Jianchang Detention Center for two months before being transferred to another detention facility for fifty more days. Ding was sentenced to forced labor "re-education" around September and has been held in the Huludao Rehabilitation Center for four months. Ding has gone through inhumane torture throughout this period of time. In the Jianchang Detention Center, Ding was whipped by the police with an iron cable.
Liu Yufeng, 48, is from the Sixth Renzhangzi Group at Laodazhangzi Village in Laodazhangzi Township, Jianchang County, Liaoning Province. Liu went to Beijing to validate the Fa in 2000 and was sent back by the Police Department in Beijing to the Haicheng Detention Center in Liaoning Province. Liu was held there for fifteen days. After paying 10,000 Yuan [500 Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China] in fines to the Laodazhangzi Police Station and suffering vicious beatings, Liu was released. One morning in December 2002, Liu was discovered by the local police station while distributing materials that present the facts of Falun Gong and was viciously beaten again and forced to pay another fine of 6,000 Yuan. Liu hereby declares that the "guarantee statement" signed at that moment is nullified. [A statement to declare that he or she is remorseful for practicing Falun Gong and guarantees not to practice Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and never again associate with any Falun Dafa practitioners.]
8. [China] A Letter Escapes from Prison (Excerpts)
...The coerced brainwashing has been going on for over two months. The police have forced us to stand in military posture and deprived us of sleep and rest. We are not allowed to bend over even when eating. The authorities have ordered cellmates to beat up determined practitioners at night until they give up their belief. It is in the middle of the winter and the temperature is really cold. The police have ordered the determined practitioners to stand at the center of the playground to shake in the icy wind. What is even more inhumane is to allow only one access to the restroom throughout the day. All these are aimed at undermining the strong will of practitioners.... Many practitioners have not slept, sat down, or returned to the dormitory for many days in a row. Since December 20, Zhu Yaohui has been deprived of sleep for over ten days; Liu Zhongli has been standing for fifteen days and has been deprived of sleep for six days. She could hardly stand due to swollen feet and legs....
9. [Jingyuan County, Gansu Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners from Dongwan Township in Jingyuan County, Gansu Province are Persecuted
On January 14, 2003, the police in Jingyuan County suddenly broke into Song Guoli's home and forcibly placed him under arrest. Song could not bear the extremely brutal torture and had to tell the police where Falun Gong materials were located. That same night, the police ordered him to lead them back to his home and dig up, from under the icy ground, materials that presented the facts of Falun Gong.
In the second half of 2002, the police in Jingyuan County (including Pingchuan District) lost all restraint in persecuting practitioners. Falun Dafa practitioners Qiang Youcun, Zhang Bingwu, Feng Xinlei, Gao Qingyang, Song Guoli and several others were placed under unlawful arrest. In September, a slanderous movie was shown across the county to defame Falun Dafa.
10. [Shandong Province] Wangcun Labor Camp Forces Dafa Practitioners to make Handicrafts
The Wangcun Labor Camp in Shandong Province forced Dafa practitioners to make handicrafts for export. We hope the international community and people with consciences will stand up to condemn and stop this kind of behavior, which violates international law.
11. [Hainan Province] The Crimes That Took Place in the Hainan Field, Hongming Ranch Brainwashing Class
From September 2001 to September 2002, the Hainan Field Police Station's "610 Office" [An agency specifically created to persecuteáFalun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems] held the so-called law-study class in the Ranch's reception area. Actually those were brainwashing sessions designed to force Dafa practitioners to give up cultivation. Dafa practitioners were all brought there by force. For the second set of sessions, they changed their strategy. This time, they first sent Dafa practitioners to a labor camp to receive brainwashing, then they sent them back to Hongming Ranch to "solidify their understanding." They were afraid practitioners would practice again after they went back home.
The brainwashing classes are sealed off with wire mesh and policemen keep tight watch. Each practitioner lives in a single room and guards as well as guard assistants live together with practitioners. They forbid practitioners to see or speak to each other. They are restricted by guards and their assistants in every respect. They are forced to read a book that slanders Dafa. At night, a brainwashing video is played. These so-called guards and assistants have their own method of brainwashing, and they have all been trained. Every day they attack Dafa with some bad words, pretend to be good people, saying that they want to save you and help you, and utilize any sentimentality you have towards your family to move your heart. They take turns to prevent practitioners from sleeping. They try to force them to become disoriented, suffer mental collapse and write the so-called "guarantee letters, letters that expose other practitioners, and letters that share their new understandings".
12. [Longkou City, Shandong Province] Police Persecute Practitioners as Public Security Worsens
Since November 2002, Longkou City Police have neglected their own responsibilities and arrested innocent Dafa practitioners on a large scale. Many of them have been sent to labor camps and this has led to a sharp decline in the area's security.
From December 2002 to January 2003, there have been five to six vicious murders. As of now, none of these murder cases have been resolved. Now, local people often tell jokes, "Why are you so stupid, you're just like the police at the Longkou Police Station." The Longkou police take people's money, but do not really serve the people and instead arrest kindhearted Dafa practitioners. Where is the law of heaven!
13. [Handan City, Hebei Province] Police Arrest Dafa Practitioners
The Maoxi Police arrested Dafa practitioners Liu Yuhua, Dong Shuchun and Su Guorong in November 2002 and detained them in the No. 1 Detention Center. They have not been released as of yet.
Su Guorong, a female, is a teacher at the Yuxinnan primary school. After she was arrested, her baby was left at home.
Wang Xuezhen, a female, is a Dafa practitioner from Handan, and is a doctor at the Handan No. 3 Hospital. In November, she was arrested by the Zhuhe Police Station and her house was ransacked. She is being detained in the Handan No. 1 Detention Center. Her child is in the hospital and in critical condition. Even in this situation the police station still will not release her.
14. [Beijing] The Tuanhe Labor Camp Creates a New Tragedy: A Collaborator in Team Two of the Tuanhe Labor Camp Has Become Mentally Disordered
Since the summer of 2002, some collaborators [former practitioners who have gone astray due to torture and brainwashing] have begun to suffer from mental disorders, and are creating problems for the police. There is a collaborator named Zhang Mingzhi who has become more and more abnormal since summer. In the summer, he covered himself with two quilts while he slept. He keeps shouting during the brainwashing sessions or in public places and cannot control himself. At night, after everyone else has finished washing their faces, he uses cold water to wash himself, and keeps washing himself with one bucket of water after another and cannot stop. What is more abnormal is that he has started to eat flies and mosquitoes, and he even mixed feces into his rice. Others often saw the police carry Zhang Mingzhi, who kept shouting, and bind him to the flagpole.
Why has Zhang Mingzhi become like this? To understand the reason, Zhang is not only a person who harms others, but also a person who has been harmed. After he betrayed his belief, he believed the promise of the police chief Ni Zhenxiong (police code 1153178), who said that he could get a reduced prison term if he did more "transformation work" [forcing Dafa practitioners to renounce their belief]. Zhang tried hard to do it and was promoted to be a monitor. In the so-called "transformation campaign" aimed at Dafa, Zhang Mingzhi, Wang Wei, as well as others worked extremely hard trying to brainwash practitioners. They used all kinds of means, including sneering, cursing, deriding and creating hardships. They tried to make firm Dafa practitioners mental wrecks. All of this was directed by the chief of police, Ni Zhenxiong. But to the disappointment of Zhang and Wang, they did not get diminished terms--maybe because the police did not want to let go of these two brainwashing tools, or maybe for some other reasons. Under extreme disappointment and with imbalanced emotions, Zhang Mingzhi started to show symptoms of schizophrenia.
Because his strange behavior could not be accepted by normal people, the police head who had promised to reduce his prison term ignored him. Zhang has been sent to a strictly monitored team. Here, police think he has become a mental patient. Zhang says he is holding a hunger strike, but when there is good food like dumplings and noodles, he will eat it. He spits everywhere and makes the room dirty. According to some people, in the past, he had followed a bad person from Hong Kong, who did much damage to Dafa. Therefore, his mental problems are mostly likely a result of long-term factors.
