3. [Beijing] Li Lan, Graduate of the Aerospace Industrial University, Held in Custody in the Fengtai District Detention Center
"Sent to a Labor Camp and Tortured for Appealing in Beijing, A New Practitioner Regains His Freedom with Determined Righteous Thoughts (Part 1)" was published on the Clearwisdom.net website March 10, 2004. (See
http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2004/3/10/45905.html for the original Chinese text.) The practitioner "Xiaomei" mentioned in this article is Ms. Liu Lan, who graduated from the Aerospace Industrial University in Beijing.

4. [Fuyuan County, Heilongjiang Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Dai Zhong Arbitrarily Arrested Again by the Police
Dai Zhong is a Falun Dafa practitioner in Hanconggou Township, Fuyuan County, Heilongjiang Province. On January 20, Dai was carried home in critical condition with injuries from the police brutality he received in the Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp. The authorities there were afraid to take responsibility should he die in their custody. Although Dai's condition has not appreciably improved, he was taken back to the Jiamusi Forced Labor camp a few days ago. [Note: It is likely that the authorities there received permission to include his possible death as part of the quota they receive for Falun Gong deaths by torture. The authorities would not want his body to remain outside the labor camp to provide evidence for the crimes they have committed. When Falun Gong practitioners die in the labor camps from torture, the authorities have orders to label the death as from natural causes and cremate the body immediately without notifying the family]
