Falun Dafa practitioners once again used the local television network to clarify the truth. Around the date of April 25, 2003, practitioners in a northeast city in China tapped into the local television broadcasting system and played a truth-clarifying program to expose the persecution to the Chinese people.

Practitioner Zhang Fengjuan is from Qingdui Town, Zhanghe City of Dalian City, Liaoning Province. In September of 2001, she was reported and then arrested while distributing truth-clarifying materials. She was illegally sentenced to one and a half years in the notorious Massanjia Forced Labor Camp. During detention, she was subjected to various tortures, such as being confined in a solitary compartment [refers to locking up a single detainee in a solitary cell, which contains a basin and a pair of handcuffs. The basin is used both for face washing and relieving the urine and bowels. One end of the handcuffs fastens the wrist and the other end attaches to the door railing. The handcuffs can be fastened onto the door railing at three different heights. In the highest position, the detainee has to extend his/her arm upward. The middle position is at waist level. In the lowest position, the detainee can sit on the ground.], sleep deprivation, etc. Police didn't allow her family members to visit during detention and cut her off completely from her family. During the Two Conferences in 2002, she shouted loudly "Falun Dafa is good!" and her terms were extended by three months. Currently she has completed the terms in the forced labor camp, however, the labor camp still has not released her. She has scabies all over her body.

Li Liyan, a 19-year-old girl who had never practiced Falun Dafa, got to know that Falun Dafa is good. In February 2002, the evening before she came back from work in Wenling City of Zhejiang Province, she wrote "Falun Dafa is good!" while sightseeing in a park. One month later after returning to Qianjiang City, police from the Qianjiang Public Security Bureau arrested and kept her in a detention center. Later she was transferred to the Wenling Public Security Bureau where she was illegally sentenced to two years of forced labor. She is still being illegally detained in the Mogan Forced Labor Camp in Zhejiang Province.

By the end of March, quite a few Falun Dafa practitioners from Yongchang County of Jinchang City were illegally detained.

On April 21, Jinchang City practitioner Li Dexiang (female) and another female practitioner whose last name is Wang were reported while talking to the people about the truth of Falun Dafa. Police from Jinchang City illegally searched their homes and detained them in the Jinchang Detention Center.

On April 23, police searched the home of a practitioner whose last name is Shang from the Jinchuan Training Center in Jinchang City while he was browsing on the internet for truth-clarifying materials. At the same time, practitioner Li Guiying (female), Ma Zhigang (male), and two other practitioners from Wuwei City of Gansu Province were illegally detained and their homes were searched, which caused a big loss of truth-clarifying materials.

According to news from Chongqing City, the Chongqing Tea Culture Festival was held on April 23, 2003. Afraid that Falun Dafa practitioners might take this opportunity to clarify the truth of Falun Dafa to people attending the festival, the "610 Office" and the Public Security Bureau from Yongchuan City started arresting Falun Dafa practitioners and searching their homes on the morning of April 16, 2003. About twenty practitioners were arrested and detained that day. Two of them were detained in the Yongchuan Detention Center. On April 20, 2003, one more practitioner was arrested.

[Shanghai City] Practitioner Xue Jiao's Family Members are Coerced into Lying After She Has a Mental Collapse From Being Persecuted

I felt very sad when Baoshan practitioner Xue Jiao was illegally sentenced to the Tilanqiao Prison at Yangpu District in Shanghai. She is a very good fellow practitioner. We had gone through a difficult period of time together after the persecution of Falun Dafa started. Recently I heard that in prison, she had been persecuted to the point of mental collapse. The police continually harass her family members, coercing them into writing a statement indicating that Xue Jiao became mentally disordered from practicing Falun Gong. Her family members have refused to lie.

Chen Jianxiu, a practitioner from Xiangshan Town, Daying County of Suining City, was illegally arrested on April 20 and had her home searched. Her current whereabouts are unknown. Recently, Xining Township conducted an illegal search of homes of all local practitioners. Details will be further investigated.

Qu X, from the Yangshu Police Substation, often takes local policemen to illegally arrest Falun Dafa practitioners. They extort a confession by means of extreme torture, forcing practitioners to sit in metal chairs with both hands cuffed, slapping both sides of the face, burning the hands with cigarettes, sleep deprivation, providing no food, putting Teacher's photo on the ground and coercing practitioners to step on it, pouring cold water over the heads of practitioners, stripping practitioners naked and keeping them outside in freezing winter. After all these tortures, they will transfer practitioners to the Pulandian Detention Center, where police guards and doctors frequently beat up practitioners on hunger strike.
