For a few days around August 23, 2003, during working hours, Dafa practitioners placed a large quantity of truth-clarifying materials and CDs in government buildings and compounds. This righteous feat shocked the municipal government officials. Every time when practitioners finish the distribution, they walk out of those well-guarded government buildings in an open and dignified manner.

The personnel at the Dabei Prison torture Falun Gong practitioners very severely. One of the excruciating torture methods they use is to force practitioner to squat in a corner for a whole day, with hands clasped behind their back.

Dafa practitioner Ms. Fang Yi is about 40 years old. Since 1999, police has been harassing and following her numerous times. They also put her into brainwashing classes many times. Fang Yi acted calmly, facing the vicious officials every time. Thus the vile people dare not to persecute her further. Fang has been clarifying the truth to teachers, students and people around her through all kinds of channels. In June or July 2003, the university authorities suddenly dismissed her and collaborated with the police to put her into Guangdong Province's Sanshui Forced Labor Camp -- a place dedicated for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Her situation is unknown now.

Up till now, the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp has detained numerous practitioners from various districts including Yunfu City, Zhaoqing City, Gaoyao City, Gaozhou City, Maoming City, Guangzhou City, Shenzhen City, Yangjiang City and others.

Mr. Song Qingde is a resident from Nankouqian Town, Qingyuan County in Fushun City. To validate Dafa and avoid the persecution, he was forced to stay away from home. On August 21, 2003, he was arrested near Wanghua District of Fushun City. Afterward, the police went to his living place at Beizhen Street in the Wanghua District, ransacked his home and took away many Dafa truth-clarifying materials. Recently, the police informed Song's family to pay 1,700 Yuan* for the brainwashing "class fee" and 200 Yuan for force-feeding per time. Not until the extortion demands were made did his family learn that Song is now detained at the city's Luotai Resort Brainwashing Center.

[Beijing] Arrest of an Elderly Dafa Practitioner

On September 11, 2003 (the Mid-Autumn Festival), elderly practitioner Ms. Tian went out to distribute Dafa truth-clarifying material at a morning market. She did not come back that day. She might have been arrested.

At 8:00 p.m. on September 11, 2003 (the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is similar to Thanksgiving), three vile people including Li Dongming broke into practitioner Li Yingxuan's home and told him/her that the police chief wanted to see him. Li Yingxuan said, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival." He asked to reschedule the time and told them, "If there was urgent issue, let's talk about it at home." But the police immediately called some other people to arrest Li Yingxuan. Li did not cooperate with them and planned to escape from the window on the second floor. However, Li was severely injured. His nose and mouth were bleeding, his eyes were black and blue, and he lost consciousness. His right arm, right thigh and right ankle were fractured in many places.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a holiday for family reunions, but Jiang and his gang took the opportunity to relentlessly torture practitioners.

[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Junmin Police Precinct Officials Illegally Sentence Several Practitioners to Forced Labor Camp

Enforcers from Harbin City's Junmin Police Precinct arrested several practitioners from home without valid reasons and sent them to a labor camp. Because some practitioners showed symptoms of illnesses, the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp authorities did not accept them officially but also would not release them, either. These practitioners have been detained for three to four months. Some practitioners are forced to stay away from home to avoid the persecution.

They are Mr. Chen Kaiming, Mr. Yang Xiaohui, Ms. Xiang Zhaoxia, Ms. Li Shirong, Mr. Pan Jianjun, Ms. Zheng Hongxia, Ms. Xiao Guiying and Ms. Tang Qingying.

In November 2001, enforcers from Guizhou City's "610 Office"* and Zhunyi City's Honghuagang Police Precinct arrested Mr. Lan Jun and Ms. Yan Zhongfen. They have been detained at Zhunyi City's No.2 Detention Center for 18 months and have suffered severe persecution, both physically and mentally. In June 2002, they were illegally sentenced without a jury, without a lawyer and without informing their families. Lan Jun was sentenced to six years of imprisonment and Yan Zhongfen to four years. Now they are detained at Guizhou City's Yang'ai Forced Labor Camp. No family is allowed to visit them and neither are they permitted to accept clothing or money.

Shenyang City's "Legal System Education School" is actually a brainwashing center, located at the Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp. The compound is surrounded by an electric fence on all high walls. It's a jail indeed.

Dafa practitioners illegally arrested here during the 16^th National Party conference are:

Ms. Liu Yanmei, a professor in Liaoning Province's Social Science Academy. She was arrested at her work unit and has been detained at that brainwashing center for 50 days.

Ms. Zhang Liping, a gym teacher from Shenyang Agriculture University, is also a national level coach. She was arrested when she was teaching class to students.

Gong, a teacher in the Forestry Institute of Shenyang Agriculture University and Mr. Meng Qingjie, a teacher in a middle school affiliated with the university were arrested because of writing letters to clarify the truth.

Ms. Liu Huarong, a library administrator for the Political Department in the Shenyang Military Area. She was arrested when she merely rested in a public park. Later she was released after being forced to write the "Three Statements,"** but her salary was suspended anyway. Every week, she had to go to police precinct to hand in her "mentality" report, where she had to slander Dafa. In order to protest such persecution, she had to leave home.

A Dafa practitioner in the financial section from Liaoning Province's Administration Institute was sent to a brainwashing center only for copying letters to clarify the truth.

Five Dafa practitioners in Shenyang City's Industry and Commerce Bank

Li Yanhong, male, 40 years old, is a policemen in No.1 Section of Lanzhou City Police Department. He often pretented sympthy for Falun Gong. His way of obtaining information about other practitioners was to help certain practitioners find a job or solve problems to ask about other practitioners. Many Dafa practitioners were deceived by his hyprocrisy and were sent to brainwashing classes. Hereby we remind Dafa practitioners to pay attention to this and leave no opportunity for the evils to take advantage.

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.

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.
