1. [Hefei City, Anhui Province] Practitioner Xu Jing is Mentally Traumatized in Hefei City Women's Forced Labor Camp

Dangshan County's "610 Office (1)" personnel put practitioner Ms. Xu Jing into Hefei City's Female Forced Labor Camp because of her determination to Falun Gong practice. The torture at the labor camp mentally traumatized her. Since being released into the care of her family, she speaks incoherently and her family won't let her out in public.

2. [Baoqing County, Heilongjiang Province] The Head of Farm No. 597 Has Put His Employee into a Brainwashing Class for a Year

Because practitioner Mr. Wu Dongsheng from Baoqing County, who works at Farm No. 597 in Heilongjiang Province, exposed the local lawless officials' crimes and the inhuman torture of practitioners on the Internet, the No. 597 Farm's Police Precinct officers arrested him and took him to a so-called "Education and Reformation Center" at the Qixing Farm at the Jiansanjiang Agriculture Administration Bureau. Sun Naisheng, head of Farm No. 597 bribed related officials and put Wu Dongsheng into the brainwashing center. Wu has been held there over a year.

Wu Dongsheng has been arrested several times and his home has been ransacked. He is currently being held at the Qixing Farm's Brainwashing Center. Officials in the center claimed that, "his release is being handled by officials at the No. 597 Farm." The Farm administration pays an accommodation fee of 20,000 Yuan (2) per year for Wu Dongsheng's detention. Practitioners sent to this brainwashing center from other farms have been released because the farms would not give the money to the brainwashing center. The employees' salaries are derived from the detention fees each farm pays. Officials from Farm No. 597 not only pay the fee, but also bribe officials. They are even afraid of the brainwashing center releasing Wu Dongsheng.

7. [An'ning City, Yunnan Province] Dafa Practitioner Guo Hongyun Arrested by Persons from the National Security Division

At around 6:00 p.m. on June 30, 2004, a number of plainclothes policemen arrested Dafa practitioner Mr. Guo Hongyun from An'ning City's Phosphor Fertilizer Industrial Co. Ltd. while he was getting out of a car after visiting a relative. The policemen then ransacked the place. Their warrant was blank, without a cause written on it. They confiscated a computer, over ten copies of Dafa books and hard-covered notebooks. They didn't give the practitioner an itemized list of these confiscated items. At the same time they brought Guo Hongyun's wife, Wang Zhimei, to the police station by the so-called "summons to trial" means. They took turns interrogating Wang Zhimei until the next day and prohibited her from falling asleep. In the interrogation note it said that Wang Zhimei stated over and over that her belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance" is not wrong, and adhering to a belief system is a basic right endowed by the Constitution. She also pointed out that it is wrong and illegal for police to arrest people and ransack their homes and is a violation of human rights. In the end, the police could not justify their actions but had to tell Wang Zhimei's work unit to take her back.

Dafa practitioner Mr. Lie Lichun, 31 years old, is from the Sutai Community in Hucheng Township, the Guang'an District, Guang'an City, Sichuan Province. On June 19, 2004 he was arrested at Shangxin Street in the Nan'an District, Chongqing City. Lei's mother pleaded with the Guang'an District Police to release her son. Someone from the police department told her that Lie and his wife were arrested on a bus. Now Lei is being held in Huaying City's Jail in Guang'an City while his wife is held in the Guang'an District Jail in Guang'an City. Police also ransacked their rented house in Chongqing City. Some police officer told Lei's mother that in order to catch Lei, many policemen had to stake out every bus station in the Nan'an District for over a month. According to this, practitioner Song Jinyin from Guang'an City who suddenly disappeared in Nan'an District of Chongqing City ten days prior to Lei's arrest was supposed to have been arrested by the police. So far, Song's disappearance has not been confirmed.

The key reason for the arrest is that Lei and Song's cell phones were monitored. The practitioners, however, didn't pay attention to that.

11. [Jilin City, Jilin Province] Arrest of Gao Yueli and Ma Fang

At around 1:00 a.m. on July 12, 2004, two policemen from the Shijingou Police Precinct in the Fengman District, Jilin City followed practitioner Ms. Gao Yueli. Dafa practitioner Ms. Gao is an employee of the Shijinggou Allied Chemical Factory of Fengman District. She had distributed Dafa truth clarifying materials. The two policemen then broke into Gao Yueli's home, arrested her and took her to the Shijinggou Police Precinct. The police had followed her for two nights when she distributed the truth clarifying materials. As Gao Yueli had been sentenced to one year of forced labor in the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp, her family led a hard life. Her 19-month-old daughter is left home without her mother's care.

Practitioner Ms. Ma Fang from the Shijinggou Allied Chemical Factory in the Fengman District was arrested too when she went to send Gao Yueli some food to the police precinct. The precinct policemen broke into Ma Fang's and her mother's homes and stole her Dafa books without producing any warrant.

14. [Guanghan City, Sichuan Province] Arrest of Zhao Xianchang from the Guanghan Third Middle School

Practitioner Ms. Zhao Xianchang, 34 years old, is an English teacher at the Guanghan Third Middle School in Guanghan City, Sichuan Province. Just because she persisted in her belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," she was arrested on June 12, 2004. Perpetrators in the arrest are Jiang Tianxing from the National Security Division from Guanghan City's Police Department and Yang, the Security Section chief of Guanghan City's Education Administration Bureau. The arrest happened as she was taking a break in her dorm in the afternoon. Nobody knows where she is now.

Prior to the arrest, her parents' home was searched on April 25 and a stack of truth-clarifying materials, exposing local crimes in persecuting Falun Gong, were discovered. According to her mother, because these materials were found in Zhao Xianchang's bedroom, police started to follow her. Her dorm at school was opened when she was not there and her cell phone was confiscated for checking and then was returned because police didn't find any evidence. On June 20, Zhao Xianchang and her father went to the Education Administration Bureau to report these unlawful acts and illegal behavior of her school's leader and to clarify the truth to them. The Bureau leaders not only didn't listen, but they even called Jiang Tianxing from the city's National Security Bureau to arrest Zhao Xianchang at that moment. Her father argued with them, resulting in Zhao Xianchang and her father walking away. Unfortunately, she was arrested the following day.

According to a leader from the Guanghan Third Middle School, Zhao's teaching is excellent.

17. [Chongqing City] The Persecution Dafa Practitioner Gan Shulin Suffers

Dafa practitioner Gan Shulin from Chongqing City began to practice Falun Gong in May 1999. In December 1999 he went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa the first time. Because of this he was illegally detained. In February 2000 he was released from jail but was immediately transferred to a brainwashing class. In June 2000, Gan Shulin went to Beijing to appeal for the second time and was then sent to a forced labor camp for two years. When he was detained at the Xishanping Jail in Chongqing City, his teeth were knocked out during brutal beatings. He was released in April 2002 but soon was put into a brainwashing class again. In 2004, because Gan Shulin refused to write the "three statements (3)," he was again sent into the Shapingba District Jingkou Brainwashing Center.

18. [Guangdong Province] Lies Are Infused in Such a Way

Recently I got to know a 16-year-old who had just graduated from middle school. We mentioned the truth of the Falun Gong persecution when we were chatting at noon. I asked him whether there was someone practicing Falun Gong in his hometown of Suixi City, Guangdong Province. He answered there were only a few. He was silent for a while and then he suddenly told me that people outside of China were also practicing Falun Gong. I asked how he knew this. He said, "Our teacher said ten thousand Falun Gong practitioners in the USA collectively committed suicide." I asked, "Do you believe it?" He replied, "Anyway, my school teacher said this."

When I heard that story I remembered my niece who is a primary school student. I told her once that Falun Dafa is great but she seriously said "no!" Her eyes were full of hate and horror. We can see from these two examples how Jiang's regime infuses children's minds with lies and we can see how evil the Jiang regime is.

Notes:

(1) 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.

(2) 500 Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China

(3) Three statements: Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write these as proof that they have given up their belief. Created by the "610 Office," the three statements consist of a letter of repentance, a guarantee to never again practice Falun Gong, and a list of names and addresses of all family members, friends and acquaintances who are practitioners.
