[China] Persecution of Senior Engineer Xie Yiqiang Due to His Firm Belief in Falun Dafa

Falun Dafa practitioner Xie Yiqiang (male), born in 1964, is a senior engineer who worked in a health and safety testing department before he was arrested. He obtained Falun Dafa in 1996 and started to cultivate diligently in 1999. Both he and his mother practice Falun Dafa.

He was arrested in March of 2001 because he had spread truth clarification material about the "Tiananmen Square Self-Immolation." He was later illegally sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp. During his "detention" period, from March to October 2001, he was noted for his honorable act of reviving an inmate during a sudden heart attack. After he was sentenced to a labor camp, ulcers appeared on his body. When the labor camp wanted his work unit to cooperate and release him to receive treatment, his work unit refused.

He was later released in April of last year to receive treatment outside the labor camp. During the 16^th Congress, due to the police wanting to re-arrest him, he was forced to leave his home to avoid arrest.

[Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province] Facts of the Persecution of Practitioner Ren Baogui

Global Mission to Rescue Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners:

I am a 48-year-old male from Nanguan Village in Xuanhua District of Zhangjiakou City in Hebei Province. I want to sue Jiang Zemin and the 610 Office from all different levels for their persecution towards me.

On July 19, 2000, my wife and I went to Beijing to appeal and were unlawfully arrested by police. I was unlawfully detained at Xuanhua Detention Centre for 17 days and was later deported to Tangshan City Labor Camp for more than 20 months. My wife Guo Zhihua (46 years old) was also illegally detained at Xuanhua Detention Centre for 30 days. The Nanguan Village officials, under the direction of the 610 Office, forced me to pay back all loans from the government. They forcefully sold my 24 different-sized pigs at a loss of nearly 10,000 Yuan [Chinese currency, the monthly salary for an average Chinese urban worker is about 500 Yuan]. They also sold my donkey and my car. My family almost went bankrupt.

The reason I practice Falun Gong is to gain better health and become a better person. I have no other pursuits. Both my wife and I have benefited a lot from it. I went to Beijing to appeal, as is my right according to the law, and to speak a true word. Why did they detain and put me in a forced labor re-education camp? Is there law in China? Do people have freedom? I am reporting to you the persecution I endured inflicted by Jiang Zemin and the 610 Office. I want to see justice.

[Northeast China] During the 16^th Congress, Truth Clarification Banner Is Posted On the Police Department Doorpost

A Falun Dafa practitioner from Northeast China heard inside information from the police department that "the National Security Bureau ordered that if the three types of people below were found during the 16^th Congress putting up flyers or appealing, they can be shot to death on the spot: 1. Unemployed workers; 2. Transferred officers without a position; 3. Falun Gong practitioners.

On the night of the 16^th Congress, this practitioner placed a poster that read, "It is no crime to cultivate Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. Release all Falun Gong practitioners" on the police department doorpost and outside a conference celebrating the 16^th Congress. This practitioner also pasted a truth-clarification VCD on a police department's door. This strongly shook the evil.
