He was illegally sentenced to 5 years in jail for distributing truth-clarifying VCDs. Another Dafa practitioner in Li's unit was sentenced to 7 years in jail.

    Huang Zeliang and Li Jun both entered the Chinese Medicine Theory specialty of the China Pharmaceutical University in 1997. Since they would not give up their practice of Falun Gong, they were suspended for a year and forced to leave school. When they returned a year later, the University administration again forced them to leave the school because they persisted in the practice of Falun Gong. It's said Huang Zeliang was detained in a psychiatric hospital in his hometown.

    Xing Shuliang, female, 64, was reported and then arrested by police officers in March 2003 at Huangdao while she was delivering truth-clarifying materials. She was tortured at Huangdao, and then sent to the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp, where she is serving a 3-year term.

  3. [Shangzhi City, Heilongjiang Province] Female Dafa Practitioner Fan Shuying on a Hunger Strike at the Detention Center

    Fan Shuying was arrested and taken to the Public Security Bureau by police officers from Shangzhi City on the evening of April 26, 2003 when she was away from her home. Police officer Liang and two other people searched her home and took away her last two Dafa books. She has a disabled husband and a daughter who is still in school that have been deprived of her care. She went on a hunger strike to protest her persecution.

  4. [China] Dafa Practitioners Upgrade Efforts of Truth Clarification

    Local Dafa practitioners put up a lot of truth-clarifying flyers on the utility poles beside the roads and hung up many banners along several thousand meters of road. Nobody removed the banners and flyers, on the contrary, passersby praised the power of Dafa.

  5. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Peng Weidong, A Former Employee of the Wuhan Cigarette Factory, Is Sent to the Qiaokou District Brainwashing Center After His Term in the Forced Labor Camp Was Served

    Peng Weidong, male, 33, was arrested in early March 2001 because he was caught making Dafa materials. Later he was sentenced to two years in the Hewan Forced Labor Camp. His employer fired him while he was incarcerated. He was determined in Dafa even though he was tortured in the forced labor camp. On March 8, 2003, his term of forced labor ended, but the police officers from the Baofeng Street Police Station, Qiaokou District escorted him directly to the Qiaokou District Brainwashing Center. Here the police tried to coerce him into writing the "three letters" to give up Falun Gong. After Peng refused the demand, officers in the brainwashing center hung him upside down and beat him for a long time. He is still being tortured.

    Phone number of the Qiaokou District Brainwashing Center: 86-27-83253549, Li Wei is the person in charge of the issue.

  6. [Puyang City, Henan Province] Guo Pengna's Whereabouts Are Unknown Being Arrested by "610" Officers

Ms. Guo Pengna, a university graduate and an employee of the Zhangyuan Oilfield at Puyang City, was arrested by people from the Zhongyuan Oilfield "610 Office"* and local police officers in the summer of 2002. The "610 Office" claimed she was being detained at the Dongming Detention Center. However, it has been verified that she is not there currently.

* The 610 Office is a bureau specifically created by the Chinese government to persecute Falun Gong. It has absolute power over each level of administration in the Party, as well as over the political and judiciary branches.

  1. [Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province] Dafa Practitioner Cai Mei Is Arrested

    On April 30, 2003, Cai Mei was arrested from her home. Her neighbors were very angry with the police for arresting good citizens that follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance.

  2. [Xishui County, Hubei Province] Dafa Practitioners Outside China, Please Make Phone Calls to the Xishui County Public Security Bureau to Ask Them to Release the Detained Dafa Practitioners

    On April 19, 2003, Dafa material production sites at Chichun and Wuxue were destroyed simultaneously. Dafa practitioners Nan Xaioqing, Xia Youling, Wang Haiying, Wu, Luo, and two others were arrested. The equipment was confiscated. It caused a big loss to Dafa practitioners, and local Dafa materials are now in short supply.

    Nan Xiaoqing's whereabouts are unknown, and Xia Youling is being illegally detained at the First Detention Center of Xishui County. Xia has been on a hunger strike for over ten days and is in critical condition. A few fellow Dafa practitioners asked Huang Haijun at the Xishui Public Security Bureau to release Xia, but the police officer refused. We hope that Dafa practitioners outside of China can help by phoning the perpetrators.

    Relevant people and units:

    Huang Haijun, the deputy director of Xishui Public Security Bureau, Phone: 86-713-4232150 (H)

    Tao Jingsong, Assistant Chief of the First Section of Xishui public Security Bureau, Phone:

    86-713-4241169 (H)

    Yang Jian, Chief of the First Section of Xishui public Security Bureau, Phone 86-713-4226102í 86-713-4236102 Xishui County First Detention Center, Hubei Province.

  3. [Benxi City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioners Are Persecuted

    In late March 2003, older Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhan was illegally detained for over 20 days by police officers, and then sent to the Weiningying Forced Labor Camp. Because she was very weak, the camp refused to accept her and she had to be released.

    On April 14, 2003, more than ten police officers from the Benxi city Political and Judiciary Committee, 610 office, and the local police station tricked Dafa practitioners into letting them in the door by pretending to be water bill collectors. They illegally arrested Dafa practitioners Yu Jiale, Cheng Hong Lan, and Zhang Guiying and sent them to the Weiningying Brainwashing Center. They pushed Cheng Honglan's spouse (50s, not a Dafa practitioner) to the ground while arresting Cheng Honglan.

    According to internal sources, the Benxi Public Security Bureau recently spent a huge amount of money installing equipment for monitoring Dafa practitioners' Internet activities. We hope that fellow Dafa practitioners will send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors behind this.

  1. [Fushun City, Liaoning Province] Police Kidnap Female Dafa Practitioner Liu Mingzhen from Xinbing County After Extorting Her Family For 10,000 Yuan

    Liu Mingzhen was kidnapped for hanging up Dafa banners. The police extorted 10,000 Yuan [Chinese currency, the monthly salary for an average Chinese urban worker is about 500 Yuan] from her family before she was released. But a short time later, police officers kidnapped her again using various pretexts and sent her to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp after sentencing her to three years of forced labor. Her husband Li Feng was kidnapped at the same time. Li Feng did not cooperate with the police while being detained. He was illegally sentenced to two years of forced labor and sent to Wujiabu, Fushun. Thus, a happy family was broken up.

    Song Junling, the Party Secretary of the Xinbing County Political and Judiciary Committee, has participated in detaining practitioners, extorting money, sending practitioners to forced labor camps, imprisoning and torturing Dafa practitioners. Phone: 86-413-5031879, 86-413-5080010.
