[Changchun City, Jilin Province] Death of Dafa Practitioner Diao Jing as a Result of Torture
Dafa practitioner Ms. Diao Jing, 47 years old, was an employee of Changchun City's Railway Station. She was at various times detained for insisting on practicing Falun Gong. During the Spring Festival in February 2003, someone kidnapped her from home and detained her in a pub near the railway station. The temperature during Northeastern China's winters is very low, yet she was forced from her home wearing a thin shirt and pants. In order to escape further abuse, she jumped from the third floor when the policeman was away, but unfortunately broke her ribs. She managed to escape by begging a taxi driver to give her a ride. While recovering from the injuries at her relative's home, the authorities from the police station and her work unit found her and frequently harassed her. Despite her injuries, personnel from her work unit forced her to go to work. Her family members were very angry at this. Under such torture in her physical condition, Ms. Diao Jing died one month later.
[Suizhou City, Hubei Province] Death of Dafa Practitioner Chu Zhongping as a Result of Torture and Abuse
Ms. Chu Zhongping, 40 years old, was a Dafa practitioner from Suizhou City. After July 20, 1999, she and other Dafa practitioners went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She was later taken back by the authorities, then put into Suizhou City's No.2 Detention Center and had money extorted from her.
On January 2, 2001, policemen from Shuanghe Town's Police Station arrested her while she was distributing truth-clarifying material, and again put her into Suizhou City's No.2 Detention Center. Later on, she was transferred to the No.1 Detention Center. In order to humiliate her publicly, the authorities broadcast her on TV showing her with arms and legs bound tightly, and being denounced in front of a meeting of 10,000 people. She was also sentenced to 1.5 years forced labor to work at the Shayang Farm. When she was sent to the forced labor camp, the authorities there refused to accept her due to her high blood pressure and edema all over her body. So she was sent to the No.1 Detention Center and was later transferred to the No.2 Detention Center's Brainwashing Class. Dafa practitioners resisted the evil persecution in this brainwashing class. They collectively staged a hunger strike. All of them walked out of the brainwashing class together with the power of their righteous thoughts. Chu Zhongping was detained for eight months.
Even after she returned home, she was harassed at home whenever there was a festival or holiday, or so-called "sensitive dates." She was followed and monitored over a long period of time. Even her family members and relatives suffered threats from the authorities. Under such great mental pressure, she died on August 30, 2003.
[Baoding City, Hebei Province] Police Confiscate Hundreds of already Written "Solemn Declarations" at a Dafa Materials Production Site
Police destroyed a Dafa materials production site, arrested Dafa practitioners including Liu Hui, Li Shuming and some other practitioners, and ransacked their homes. As the practitioners responsible for sending information on the Internet were not careful in destroying the materials in a timely manner, police confiscated several hundreds of solemn declarations written by practitioners, to show their determination to return to Dafa cultivation. Some Dafa practitioners have already been arrested because of this.
It's said that the major accomplices -- Baoding City's mayor, municipal committee secretary and police department director - were planning to sentence Liu Hui, Li Shuming and other related practitioners to a forced labor on December 4, 2003. Baoding City authorities held a meeting in the Zhongyin Building, where they conspired to arrest Dafa practitioners on a list of names.
[Guangxi Province] Police Say, "If You All Become Good People, We Will Lose Our Jobs" -- Belated News
Police arrested several Dafa practitioners from Guangxi Province, and the books I gave the practitioners were also confiscated. Prior to the Spring Festival of 2000, I went to the county's police station to get my books back. An official said, "The books you gave them harmed them." I said, "We are good people. You should read our book! The book teaches us to be good people." The official said, "I won't read it. If you all become good people, we will lose our jobs."

[Quanzhou City, Fujian Province] Detention Term Extended for Practitioner Xue Zhaohui
Practitioner Ms. Xue Zhaohui, 35 years old, from Fujian Province, is a doctor at Quanzhou City's People Hospital of Fujian Province. Because she appealed on behalf of Falun Gong in Beijing in 1999, she was detained in a forced labor camp for one year. She left home in 2001 to avoid additional persecution after her release. In November 2001, because she had gone to Beijing for the second time to appeal peacefully for Falun Gong, the authorities sentenced her to two years of forced labor at Fujian Province's Female Labor Camp where she was cruelly tortured. She was deprived of sleep for a long time; guards slammed her head against the wall. The perpetrators were afraid of their crimes being exposed, so they have not allowed Xue's family to visit her since her arrest. Now the two years' detention term given to her has expired and Xue is still being unlawfully detained.
[Hebei Province] Arrest of Practitioner Ren Bingxian
Mr. Ren Bingxian (pseudonym is Xinhui), is a practitioner from Beiyingfeng Village in Zhang'erzhuang Township/Wei County/Hebei Province.

[Xiayi County, Henan Province] Police Steal Money from Practitioners
At the beginning of July 2003, police from Xiayi County/Henan Province conducted a large-scale raid, capturing Dafa practitioners. In the Humenlou and Gao Villages, dozens of practitioners were arrested. The police attempted to forcibly brainwash practitioners and extorted money from them. They threatened practitioners that if they did not hand over the amount of requested money, they would be sentenced to forced labor or imprisonment. To avoid harm coming to their family members, practitioners' relatives borrowed money everywhere to pay the extorted fee, but the police did not even give them a receipt. When some families asked for receipts, the police said if they are asking for receipts, they have to pay another 1,000 Yuan. One practitioner's family was forced to borrow 12,000 Yuan [500 Yuan is the monthly income in urban areas of China] to get a family member released from custody.
