1. [China] A Security Officer Witnesses the "Tiananmen Immolation Event" in 2001

That day, a security officer of a company went to Beijing to arrest Dafa practitioners. That day, Tiananmen Square was heavily guarded and encircled by troops, and entering or exiting the square was under tight control. Suddenly the fire began, followed soon by its extinguishing. What shocked him is that someone gave a heavy blow on the back of the head of one of the immolators. Just as the video has shown, Liu Chunling fell to the ground. Having witnessed such a staged event, since that time this officer has not taken part in any activities persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.

On April 24, 2002, she was arrested by officials from Chenguan Street Police Station, detained for one day, and released that evening. One early morning in May, she went to deliver Dafa truth-clarifying materials, but was arrested by patrolling police. By the time her family found out about her arrest, Yang had been sent to a hospital by police, and was in a coma. Several days later, she died in the hospital. Police officers told her family: "We found her lying on the ground, so we sent her to the hospital." Since information about this issue is tightly blocked by police, more investigation is needed to know the details.

Since the time when Mr. Yan was sent to the forced labor camp, His wife Peng Qingqing had not seen him for two and a half years. On August 4, 2003, Peng went to Hewan Forced Labor Camp to ask for a meeting with her husband. Officials refused the request and evasively told her that things are OK and officers would obey the law. Peng and Yang's 80 year old mother waited until noon one day but still did not have a chance to see Mr. Yan. The temperatures in Wuhan currently can be as high as 43 Celsius degrees, and the shorts and short sleeved shirts Mr. Yan's family sent to him could not reach him.

13. [Beijing City] The Guilty Conscience of the Beijing "610 Office"

Each April is the time when university graduates look for jobs. In April this year, the "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.] of Beijing wanted to hire some graduates. Owing to their guilty conscience, they only posted a small note on a wall, and even that notice was torn off by someone that same evening.
