7. [Wuchang City, Heilongjiang Province] Police Sabotage Three Sites Where Falun Dafa Materials Are Stored
Recently, the Wuchang City "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] have ordered police officers from stations in various towns to carry out a campaign of arrests of Falun Dafa practitioners. In December 2003 alone, four Falun Dafa practitioners were arrested. They were Dong Zhishan and Wu Ruihua from Beiyinhe Town, Zhao Shuxian from Anjia Town, and Liu Yahui from Lalin Town.
8. [Huludao City, Liaoning Province] Taijitun Town Police Station Arrests Four Falun Dafa Practitioners
On the evening of December 4, 2003, four Falun Dafa practitioners went to a marketplace to paint signs exposing the persecution of Falun Dafa. The practitioners were from Taijitun Town in Huludao City, Liaoning Province. Zhang Zhiyi, a driver who works at the Taijitun Town Police Station, spotted the practitioners and called the police. Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Wang Guihua and Ms. Di Suqiu were caught. The same night, police broke into the homes of Ms. Sun Shangqing and Ms. Jin, and unlawfully placed them under detention as well. The four practitioners were later transferred to the Huludao City Detention Center, where they have remained in custody ever since.

9. [Henan Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Wu Zhenyu and His Wife Wrongfully Arrested; Their Two-Year-Old Daughter Separated From His Mother
In May 2001, Falun Dafa practitioner Wu Zhenyu in Henan Province was unlawfully taken to the police station from work after informants had turned him in. Under the orders of the city's "610 Office," numerous charges have been brought against him on the basis of fabricated evidence. Using his righteous thoughts and with wisdom, Mr. Wu managed to escape from police custody.
The police became enraged. They ransacked Mr. Wu's home and unlawfully took his wife (also a Falun Dafa practitioner) to the detention center. She was later transferred to a forced labor camp in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. Police officers forcibly separated her two-year-old daughter from her. No matter how the little girl cried, they sent her to the parents' hometown hundreds of miles away. It has been reported that this baby girl spent over a year in the police station, and has been known by the nickname "Little Carrot" [It is very ironic and revealing that the police use the nickname "Little Carrot" because it is a well known name that was given to a child whose parents were held in prison by the regime in power before 1949. The tale of "Little Carrot" is famous in Mainland China and he was considered to be a brave child who was heralded for his courage in the face of oppression.].
10. [Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province] Police Sabotage Three Sites Where Falun Dafa Materials Are Stored
The police have sabotaged three sites where Falun Dafa materials were stored. A total of five Falun Dafa practitioners have been placed under arrest. They are possibly held at the Liaoyang Detention Center. The Baita Branch of the Liaoyang City Police Department was responsible for this. Losses include 10,000 Yuan in cash, a CD burner, two photocopying machines, three motorcycles, one notebook computer, and two computer printers [500 yuan is the average monthly income of an urban worker in China]. The underlying cause of this unlawful raid was the careless use of cellular phones without taking proper security precautions.
11. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Persecution Experienced by Tao Jiaping, a Teacher at the Professional Senior High School in Xinzhou District
Mr. Tao Jiaping, age 27, is a teacher at the Professional Senior High School in Xinzhou District of Wuhan City, Hubei Province. On January 3, 2001, he was dismissed by the district's educational committee for having been to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. Since Mr. Tao has refused to give up his belief in Falun Dafa, he has not been able to go back to work there.
12. [Panjin City, Liaoning Province] Special Agents Stake Out Post Offices
Over the past few days, special agents were sent to hide near post offices in order to catch Falun Dafa practitioners who were sending Dafa materials in the mail. It is not yet clear if the order came from postal authorities or from the police.
