Practitioner Wang Yingke is a 41-year old man. The Yuhua Police Department of Shijiazhuang City illegally abducted him on August 30, 2002. He was locked to an "Iron Chair" [The iron chair is made of iron pipes. Victims are restrained on the iron chairs with both arms and legs tied for a long period of time.] for 16 days, during which time he was not allowed to blink his eyes. As a result, he went into a state of shock and his legs and feet became extremely swollen. A month later, he was sent to Xinle Detention Center. In early March of this year, he was illegally transferred to another facility and formally charged. During his detention, Wang Yingke has clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to many policemen and people in custody.
His wife, Niu Mingjie, was arrested on September 25, 2002. She is presently being detained in the Xushui Detention Center. Because she refused to give up practicing the Falun Dafa exercises, she was handcuffed and shackled. Because she was not allowed to move she is unable to stand up and walk.

[Beijing City] Practitioners Who Disavowed Their Practice While Being Brainwashed Renew Their Determination to Cultivate in Falun Dafa
Practitioners who are being detained in the No.2 Team of the Beijing Female Forced Labor Camp have awakened after being brainwashed. They renewed their determination to cultivate in Falun Dafa. Police in the labor camp became very anxious and did not know what to do. They forcibly separated practitioners from the No. 2 Team and moved them to other teams. There is now no No. 2 Team in the forced labor camp.
On March 10, a practitioner from the No. 3 Team shouted loudly, "Falun Dafa is good!" A Director whose last name is Li hurried to cover the practitioner's mouth. Director Li is very inhumane in his treatment of Falun Dafa practitioners. He has employed various vicious means such as long-term physical torture, mental threats, etc. However, these means can no longer frighten the heart of practitioners who have awakened. Many practitioners who were transformed are once again singled out to be transformed through brainwashing.

[Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Practitioners From Hebei Daily Press are Persecuted
There were about 100 people practicing Falun Gong exercises at the former practice site in Hebei Daily Press. Back on April 25th and July 20th of 1999, over ten practitioners went to Beijing to validate Dafa, and scores of practitioners went to the local provincial government to appeal for Falun Dafa. Most of these practitioners were on a blacklist at local police stations. They were then targeted for surveillance. Their every move was monitored. Their phones were tapped. Their homes were frequently broken into. They were harassed by local police, neighborhood committee members, and security guards. These various forms of persecution have had a severe impact on the physical and mental health of these practitioners and their family members.
Two former assistants of the practice site were detained and persecuted for several days.
In addition, many practitioners were forcibly asked to hand in their Dafa books, to write so-called "Statements of Guarantee" where they worked, or face dismissal or not being paid any wages. This was all carefully arranged by the local "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.]. This has lead to great physical and mental harm to these practitioners.
