[Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province] Female Practitioner, Yu Meihua, was
Illegally Sentenced to 8-years in Prison
Practitioner Yu Meihua from Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province, is a
steadfast Falun Gong practitioner who often clarifies the truth about Falun Gong
to the public. Because of this, she was illegally sentenced to eight years in
prison.
Once the Governor of Heilongjiang Province, Tian Fengshan, visited Beishan
Park of Yichun City. He saw a Falun Gong flyer on a street in Yichun City and
became very angry. The Vice Mayor of Yichun City, An Rongjun, tried to
ingratiate himself with Tian Fengshan and ordered the policemen and security
department staff to arrest the practitioners. He personally tore down the
flyers. A total of seven practitioners were arrested illegally. The home of
practitioner Yu Meihua from Yichun District, Yichun City, was ransacked twice.
All other practitioners were persecuted in different ways. The authorities
separated the seven practitioners, placing them in seven different places.
From an inside source, we heard that these seven practitioners were brutally
beaten up and their condition is very bad. We hope kind people will help and we
can avoid such atrocities in the future.
Additionally, Yichun City Police detained practitioner Xu Wenying from Harbin
City. Xu Wenying went to Yichun to visit relatives. The police suspected that Xu
had brought some Falun Gong flyers to Yichun City because her husband, who was a
lecturer in a university, was sentenced to three years of forced labor because
of practicing Falun Gong. We hope kindhearted people will help them.
List of Responsible Parties:
An Rongjun, Vice Mayor of Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province;
Ren XX, Vice General Secretary of Yichun District, Yichun City, Heilongjiang
Province;
Yu XX, General Secretary of the Politics and Security Section of Yichun

[Heilongjiang Province] Urgent Rescue Needed for the Practitioners Detained
in the Fuyu Forced Labor Camp
On September 27, 2001, there was a ceremony for the newly finished dormitory
building in the Fuyu Forced Labor Camp. Some provincial level officials were to
attend and cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony. The Political Supervisor of
the camp, Li Hongjun, requested that all of the detained practitioners have
numbers on their clothing when they attended the ceremony, just like criminals.
All of the steadfast practitioners refused to put on the numbered clothing and
refused to attend. The officials couldn't do anything with them, so they ordered
five collaborators to attend the ceremony. The practitioners' action suppressed
the evil and protected the dignity of Dafa.
The Fuyu Forced Labor Camp has four brigades and eight squadrons. The
practitioners were detained in the No. 7 and the No. 8 squadrons. On October 7,
2001, practitioners of Squadron 7 sent forth-righteous thoughts in the cells. A
criminal inmate from Squadron 8 saw it and reported to director Lu Zuoquan of
Squadron 7. At first, Lu didn't listen to the inmate. But the inmate reported
again and again. Lu was angered and he took an electric baton to shock the
practitioners. Another police guard, Jiang Ruidong, also used an electric baton
to shock practitioners. The practitioners were not deterred by these evil acts
and they kept on sending forth righteous thoughts. The practitioners from
Squadron 8 saw this and came to Squadron 7 to surround the vicious policemen.
Practitioner Zhou Aiguo took an electric baton away from one policeman and broke
it by throwing it on the ground. All of the practitioners wanted those abusing
the law to be brought to justice. The police guards had no way to control the
practitioners, so they ordered the practitioners to do exercises on the
exercise yard. Practitioner Zhang Zaohua shouted, "Let's go outside to
eliminate the Demons." The practitioners from Squadron 8 stood in two long
lines on the playground and sent forth righteous thoughts. At the same time, the
practitioners of Squadron 7 sent forth righteous thoughts in their cells. The Fa
rectification lasted about 15 minutes. Many practitioners felt this action had
eliminated many evils. The situation stunned the wicked people. They didn't know
what to do. They simply begged the practitioners, "Please go back."
After the practitioners went back to their cells, practitioner Xin Yanliang
led them in reciting the new scriptures. The police had no idea how to deal with
such a situation. Finally they guaranteed that any criminal who beat the
practitioners would be punished and that no such thing would happen again. In
"Also In A Few Words", Teacher said, "Indestructible righteous
thoughts toward the cosmos' Truth form benevolent Dafa disciples' rock-solid,
Vajra Bodies; they frighten all evil, and the light of Truth they emanate makes
the unrighteous elements in all beings' thoughts disintegrate."
Through this Fa Rectification event, we felt Teacher's enormous compassion
and learned the power of the group. Only through melting oneself into the Fa and
getting rid of all selfish thoughts can one truly return to one's highest level.
In mid October, the practitioners requested to be released unconditionally.
They practiced in groups and started a hunger strike to protest their illegal
detention. So the officials began to suppress the practitioners with great fury.
They called in a large number of policemen from the Fuyu County Police
Department and ordered many criminal inmates from other brigades to beat the
practitioners doing the exercises. The situation is severe. Some practitioners
have been severely injured and may die. We are still investigating the details.
Fuyu Forced Labor Camp closely blocked the information but we have heard that
over twenty practitioners were transferred to the detention center for further
persecution. The situation is urgent.
We call upon all practitioners and all kind people of the world to act
urgently to support the practitioners in the Fuyu Forced Labor Camp in
Heilongjiang Province, and to eliminate evil by sending forth righteous thoughts
in groups. We shall eliminate evil completely and let the light of truth shine
forever.
[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Illegally Held
in the Seventh Large Group of Wanjia Labor Camp Strongly Demand the Release of
All Practitioners
As a result of lengthy illegal detainment, Falun Dafa practitioners have not
been able to practice Falun Gong or study the Fa. They have been locked in damp
rooms, where most have developed a dry rash and/or skin ulcers all over their
bodies. The yellowish pus that drips from the skin ulcers smells rank. Although
the air in the labor camp is foul with the smell, the environment continues to
deteriorate.
The sharp pain of open sores is taking its toll on the practitioners. The
severely itching sores have ravaged their entire bodies again and again as the
rashes came out one layer after another. This kind of miserable suffering would
be unbearable to ordinary people. Although Falun Dafa practitioners are toughing
it out by their firm, righteous belief and strong determination, they are forced
to stay in poorly ventilated rooms, breathing the stench of rampant infection.
Since their skin-ulcers remain unwashed for extended periods of time, most
cannot fall asleep or remain asleep throughout the night. Even practitioners who
have been locked inside for only three months have started to suffer from this
symptom.
For example, as one practitioner was recently preparing to be released due to
her poor health, it took her a long time to dress herself and then, an even
longer time before she was able to get downstairs because of her many painful
sores.
These practitioners have stated that continued imprisonment amounts to
inhuman torture. We sincerely appeal to kindhearted people to please extend
their timely assistance.
[Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province] Crimes of Persecuting Falun Dafa
Practitioners in Xiangdong Police Substation at Muling Mine of Lishu District
Police Station
On September 1, 1999, Lishu District Police Station of Jixi City, in
Heilongjiang Province, arrested over a dozen Falun Dafa practitioners who were
watching the videotape "Biography of Jesus Christ." These
practitioners were sent to detention centers and placed under illegal custody on
charges of "illegal gathering." Some of them were held for as long as
ninety days. During the illegal detention, Falun Dafa practitioner Wu's foot
wound, which had resulted from numerous shocks from an electric club, became
infected. Prison doctors wanted to amputate his foot, but Wu refused to allow
it. Later, Wu was released. Another practitioner, Zhao, was beaten so badly that
his face became swollen and turned black around his eyes. Falun Dafa
practitioners were gradually released, but not until they had first been
subjected to extortion.
On the morning of January 31, 2001, several police officers broke into the
home of senior, retired, female teacher, Wang Yuhua, to forcibly conduct a
search. They also illegally took all five of her family members to the police
substation. The police then handcuffed them individually to the heating pipes
and deprived them of three meals in a row. It wasn't until late the next
morning, just prior to their transfer to the detention center, that police
officers with some kind thoughts brought them food. On the day they were
arrested, Substation Chief Niu Jiayu and the Party Political Secretary Li, of
Lishu District Police Station, had both beaten heavily on Wang's chest. Li
ordered her to get on her knees, and Wang refused. He then began kicking her in
the calves. Without any evidence or following any legal process, the couple was
sentenced to two years of forced labor education. Their eldest daughter, in
college, was given a one-year term. The two younger daughters became homeless,
and an ordinary family was thus broken apart.
While no one was at home, the police returned to the home and searched it
three more times, confiscating two savings deposit receipts. They extorted 800
Yuan RMB (the average monthly pay for an urban worker being 500 Yuan)
from Wang's brother (his only stipend left for living expenses). The wicked Niu
Jiayu lied, with the fabricated excuse that this was to pay for the meals.
Meanwhile, the Lishu Police Station withdrew the salaries of both Wang and her
brother, without their knowledge. In January 2001, another practitioner was also
arrested and thrown into the detention center.
Contact information of the perpetrators:

Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province: telephone 86-4617-2373924.
Niu Jiayu, Chief of the Substation: telephone 86-4617-2486137.

[Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province] Modern Drama Is Staged to Slander and
Defame Falun Dafa
On October 31, the Hegang Municipal Government, the "610 Office"
and the Hegang City Modern Drama Troupe, jointly staged a drama that slandered
and defamed Falun Dafa, in the Beijing Opera Theater in Hegang City,
Heilongjiang Province. The goal was to mislead people and vilify Falun Dafa. (The
"610 Office" is 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.)
[Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province] Exposing the Evil: Malicious Policeman
Zhuang Shulong from Jianan Police Substation Reclamation Farm Tails
Practitioners
A little past 9:00 AM on October 21, 2001, a practitioner arrived at a
home-based retail outlet, run by another practitioner, to shop. He had not been
in the house more than a minute or two before the malicious policeman, Zhuang
Shulong, barged into the house and rushed toward him to grab the bag, saying,
"Let me see what you've got in your bag! Aren't you delivering something to
him (the practitioner who runs the store)?" It later turned out that
nothing was found in the bag. The policeman then said, "I figured that you
wouldn't dare [to carry Falun Dafa literature] during the day." He
then added, "I have been following you all along."
The practitioner pointed out to him, "You are violating the law. I have
personal freedom. Who gave you the right to tail me?" Only then did the
policeman turn away to leave, crestfallen.
Telephone number of Jianan Police Substation at the Reclamation Farm of
Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province: 86-454-8350276
[Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Falun Dafa Disciples Abducted
On the afternoon of October 23, police from the Public Security Bureau of
Bazhong County and Simaqiao Police Substation of Chengdu City searched Falun
Dafa disciple Liao Guifang's house and took her to Bazhong County, accusing her
of confronting police. It turned out that some local practitioners who had been
arrested for going to Beijing to validate Falun Dafa had implicated her, due to
their attachment of fear.
One day in late October, a fellow practitioner in Chenghua District, whose
family name is Fang, had just gotten home from work and put the pot with pork
ribs on the stove to be stewed. She apparently went out for a while and
mysteriously disappeared. It is said that the police may have abducted her.
[Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Falun Dafa Disciple Liu Zhiyong Abducted
On September 20, Falun Dafa disciple Liu Zhiyong, an employee of the Heat
& Power Plant in the newly developed area of Tangshan City, was reported by
some loathsome people for distributing CDs containing the truth of the
"self-immolation" incident to the working staff in the Plant. Liu
Yitang, the Party Secretary of the Plant, tried to force Zhiyong to express a
different attitude and give up practicing Falun Gong. Later, Liu Yitang called
the police, who abducted and detained Liu Zhiyong at the Second Detention
Center, in Tangshan City.
[Hefei City, Anhui Province] Falun Dafa Disciples in the China Science &
Technology University Are Supposedly "Formally Arrested"
In August, Physics Professor Li Chuanfeng, Ph.D. and four other disciples
were arrested. (It was reported in Clearwisdom Net on 09/06/2001.) Presently,
their status has been changed from "criminal detention" to a so-called
"formal arrest."
They had been arrested while creating truth-clarifying CDs. Please make note
of their present situation.
[Anguo City, Hebei Province] Falun Dafa Disciples Forced to Leave Home
Falun Dafa disciple, Ma Huixin, and her husband, Li Feng, from Quti Village,
in Anguo City, presently live in Eastern Paradise in Anguo City. They firmly
cultivate in Falun Dafa, and on the evening of August 23, the police arrested Ma
Huixin. Li Feng managed to escape the arrest, but he could not return home.
Their house was searched several times. Now, nobody is taking care of the
elderly folks or the child in the family. The police keep harassing their family
members, by monitoring their telephone and employing thugs to spy on them.
Ma Huixin went on a hunger and water strike to protest her illegal detention,
but she wasn't released until her life was in great danger. Even so, she had no
personal freedom, since the police still keep harassing her every day. She had
to leave home as well.
[Jianshan County, Hebei Province] Criminal Record of Wang Taichang, Secretary
of the Politics and Law Committee
Wang Taichang, Secretary of the Politics and Law Committee of Jianshan County
breaks the law while enforcing of law by bullying and oppressing the people.
Since 1999, he has been wantonly arresting Falun Dafa practitioners, detaining
them, depriving them of their work, imposing large fines (as much as 20,000 Yuan
RMB, almost three and a half years income for an average worker in China.) He
has also been sending them to labor camps, sentencing them to jail, and forcing
them to become homeless. He connives with the police to break the law while
supposedly enforcing the law, searching Falun Dafa practitioners' homes, and
grabbing, smashing and beating them. Some police even climbed over the yard
walls in the middle of the night in order to steal practitioners' tricycles, TV
sets, and even used bicycles. They have made people's lives impossible. When he
escorted Jianshan practitioners to the detention centers in Shijiazhuang and
Tangshan, he even shamelessly bribed the police there to make sure the detention
centers would accept all the practitioners. When some friends and former
classmates persuaded him to forsake evil for good so that he wouldn't end up in
misery, he instructed the police to arrest them. As a result, some more
practitioners were arrested. His extreme persecution of Falun Dafa is
remarkable.
In the past, many people, including practitioners' family and friends could
not understand why Falun Dafa practitioners would go to appeal in Beijing. They
are waking up now, and clearly seeing that the dregs who entrap the populace are
the chief culprits who wreck the country and ruin the people. People who have
woken up are sharply denouncing the professional liars who deceive their
superiors and delude their subordinates.
People have witnessed the corruption of Wang Taichang. He spent tens of
thousands of Yuan on a luxurious villa. It took over three months to be
remodeled and furnished, and looks splendid in green and gold. Where does this
money come from? It is definitely not within his income. He also built up a
"brainwashing base" to deal with Falun Gong practitioners at
Zengzhuang Village in western Jianshan County. They forcibly send practitioners
to be brainwashed. Once, a female practitioner was literally dragged away and
beaten up for not renouncing her belief in Falun Dafa, and was unable to sit or
lie down because of the wounds all over her body. Even so, she was handcuffed
and was not allowed to sleep. Moreover, they secretly administered psychotropic
drugs by mixing them into the practitioners' food, severely harming their bodies
and minds.
Hereby, we kindly warn all those who persecute Falun Dafa and practitioners:
It is a heavenly principle that good and evil will each yield their due reward
and retribution. This principle is fair to every being. Immediately release all
Falun Dafa practitioners who are detained for no reason!
