Around October 2002, the police arrested Huo in Shandong Province and sent him back to the Jiamusi Detention Center. Huo is in critical condition now from being on a prolonged hunger strike in protest of the persecution. However the detention center still refuses to release him. We hope kind people will help.

She has been detained at the first branch of the third female squad in the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp for over a year. In order to protest the illegal imprisonment and persecution, she has been on hunger strikes many times.

We hope that the international society will help to rescue her.
[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] The Authorities Fabricate and Spread Rumors About a Self-Immolation Plan
Recently, the authorities spread a rumor that Falun Dafa practitioners in a certain area in Heilongjiang were planning to stage a self-immolation. Using this as justification, the police illegally arrested many practitioners. The cultivation of Falun Dafa is dignified. Zhuan Falun, the complete teachings of Falun Dafa, explicitly points out, "For practitioners, we have set the strict requirement that they cannot kill lives." It is not possible for Falun Dafa practitioners to commit suicide or self-immolate. This rumor should make people once again see clearly another lie fabricated by the evil force in order to continue its persecution.
