4. [Weifang City, Shandong Province] Police Conduct a Campaign to Mass Arrest Local Dafa Practitioners

After Luo Gan convened a secret meeting to plot the arrest of Dafa practitioners in Qingdao, Shandong Province, the police raided Dafa practitioners' homes in Weifang City late at night on April 24, 2004. Some practitioners were arrested. According to preliminary information, five practitioners were detained at the Kuiwen District Guangwen Local Police Station, and Li Jiangang was detained at a local station of the Kuiwen Public Security Sub-bureau. Currently some practitioners are being strictly monitored and followed. Some who are still at home are being constantly harassed, monitored and threatened with arrest or Forced Labor, and some are missing. The details of this situation are under investigation.

Mr. Liu Yaoming, is 67 years old and a retired senior Engineer at the Guilin Rubber Design Institute. Because he is steadfast in practicing Falun Gong, Guilin City Xiangshan Public Security Sub-bureau searched his home and arrested him on March 24, 2004. The police summarily sentenced him to the Guangxi District No. 1 Forced Labor Camp for two years on April 13, 2004. On the same day, someone reported Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Yanzi after she was observed explaining the facts about the persecution of Falun Dafa to the public. The authorities sent her to the Guangxi District Female Forced Labor Camp for three years without a trial.

Ms. Zhang Fengying, 50, began to practice Falun Gong in Tianjin in March 1994.

She went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong in 2000, and she was arrested and given a three-year sentence at the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp without benefit of a trial. While in the labor camp, she has suffered a lot at the hands of the authorities. The Kaiping Forced Labor Camp authorities use brutal methods to persecute Falun Gong practitioners in their attempt to force them to renounce their belief.

Zhang Fengying and other fellow practitioners are also suffering in the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp. On February 5, 2001, several Dafa practitioners were tortured and forced to stand outside, exposed to adverse weather conditions for an extended period of time. Several guards dragged Zhang Fengying to a secret room where a group of six people were holding electric batons. She was beaten and electrically shocked with the batons for several hours. One of her teeth was knocked out, and her mouth was full of blood, but the authorities would not let her spit it out in order to cover up any evidence of their crimes. The police lifted up her clothes and beat her with electric batons. Her body was covered with bruises, and her hair was pulled out and lay everywhere on the floor.

In June 2001, Zhang Fengying, and all other practitioners in the team, were hung up by their handcuffs in the assembly hall. A few police beat them with wooden clubs to the point where the force of the blows caused the skin on their buttocks to become lacerated and they became incontinent from the trauma. Despite this, the authorities, still did not allow the practitioners to go to the toilet. The police deprived them of sleep around the clock for eight days. They beat any practitioner they saw closing her eyes and shouted, "That's what we are doing, we are here to beat you."

About 11:30 p.m. on April 23, 2004, people claiming to be the "armed police" unreasonably seized Guangxi Baise City practitioners Mr. Huang Jianzhong (53 years old) and his wife Feng Huizhen (48 years old) at their factory dormitory. Another four local practitioners were also arrested on the same day. Their whereabouts are unknown at this time. Their daughter and relatives were also unable to find out. After that, the municipal government sealed up Huang Jianzhong's factory, immediately putting several dozen staff members out of work, and also causing the family to be separated.

At end of last year, the local police illegally arrested Huang Jianzhong in Hezhou City, Guangxi Province. He was released in January this year after he had 40,000 Yuan extorted from him by the police.

One of the truth-clarification material production sites in Luannan County was searched. Four practitioners, including Ms. Zhang Lianzhi were seized. They are now detained in the county detention center. The details are under investigation.

On April 21, 2004, Fushun City Qingyuan County practitioner Ms. Wei Huishu was delivering truth-clarification VCDs and other material. The authorities seized her when she got off the bus. The police destroyed the large material production site in Qingyuan County, which had operated for three years, and arrested several dozen people. Wei Huishu has been transferred from the Qingyuan County Dashagou Collection Center to the Fushun City Detention Center.

On March 28, 2003, Liaoning Shenyang practitioner Ms. Hu Guilan, around 50, was arrested and detained at Guangzhou Baiyun District Detention Center. She was sentenced to seven years imprisonment on March 25, 2004, and is now being held in the Guangzhou Women's Prison in Taihe County.

At 9 a.m. on April 20, 2004, Zhang Wei, from the Tiexi District Xingda Community Office led political and judiciary committee plainclothes personnel to the home of Dafa practitioners, Ms. Lu Yan. They tricked her into going with them to the community office for a chat. When Lu Yan went downstairs, a police car was waiting, and they forcibly took her away. Later after verifying her identity, the political and judiciary committee personnel directly forced Lu Yan into a brainwashing program held at Zhangshi Reformatory's "legal school". Later, in the afternoon, Lu Yan's daughter went to the community office to inquire about her mother's situation. The officer lied, "She just went to study for a few days."

Lu Yan's husband, Wang Shungeng, is also a Falun Dafa practitioner. He was reported to the authorities in December 23 and has been illegally sentenced to two years of forced labor. He is now detained in the Zhangshi Reformatory, and their daughter is alone at home.
