3. [Tangshan City, Hebei Province] The Persecution of Practitioners from the
Xinqu Thermo-electric Plant
Since April 1999, the Xinqu Thermo-electric Plant in Tangshan City has been
harassing Falun Gong practitioners that work at the plant . Things got worse
after July 22, 1999 when the Chinese government started persecuting Falun Gong.
Anyone in the plant who defended the practice of Falun Gong received harsh
treatment. The following are some examples.
Practitioner Zhao Baohui was sent to Tangshan No.1 Custodial Center. The
plant punished him by holding his position for only a year.
Kang Qun was sent to Tangshan No. 2 Custodial Center on two occassions by his
workplace and was sentenced to a labor camp.
Li Yingjie was sent to Tangshan No. 1 Custodial Center by his workplace and
was sentenced to a labor camp.
He Yan (female) was sent by her workplace to a brainwashing class set up by
Tangshan "Public Transportation Committee."
Xiao Du was punished for not participating in the "signature
campaign," organized by the workplace to slander Falun Dafa.
Li Yushu's house was ransacked by the public security department of his
workplace and was sent to Tangshan No. 1 Custodial Center.
Liu Zhiyong has been illegally detained many times by his workplace and was
twice sent to Tangshan No. 1 and No.2 Custodial Center, twice to a brainwashing
class set up by Tangshan "Public Transportation Committee." He left
home and currently has no fixed address in order to avoid further persecution.
The Xinqu Thermo-electric Plant in Tangshan City used financial punishment
against the practitioners employed there, and also attempted to incite the
employees into hating Falun Dafa and its practitioners. The company made it a
rule that when any practitioner appealed to the government to stop persecuting
Falun Gong, everyone in his workshop would be forced to share a penalty of
300,000 Yuan [the average monthly income of a worker in urban area is about
500 Yuan].
The phone numbers of the people at the Xinqu Thermo-electric Plant who are
involved in slandering Dafa and persecuting practitioners are:
Li Peiyuan (now retired)
Wang Zhaoyang (Party Secretary in the plant: 86-315-3084120)

brainwashing class in Jiangan District for over 6 months. On October 25, while

5. [Beijing] Crimes Committed by Police
I went to Tiananmen with a few elderly women to validate Dafa by unfurling
banners. Police in Tiananmen violently pushed us into a police car. Making no
distinction between men and women, they locked us together in a big steel cage
with no food or water, and they didn't allow us to use the bathroom. That
evening, we were sent in pairs to different police stations and still not
allowed to use the bathroom. I was forced to tell my name, but on the way home I
escaped from the police.
The Guangming Police Station in Shunyi County, Beijing has no justice. The
police hypocritically treated me well at the beginning, then turned to violence.
A 20 year-old officer called Xu Jian (male, badge number: 408751) once said to
some female Dafa practitioners, "Other police have raped practitioners, I
don't want to do the same." Practitioners told him the truth of Dafa, and
he replied, "I am not afraid of going to Hell." Then, he shocked the
practitioners with an electric baton. After Dafa practitioners cried for help,
other police stopped him. Another Dafa practitioner was shocked with the baton
and cruelly beaten.

New Round of Crimes
In the past several days, police and local officials in Hegang started a new
round of persecution against Dafa practitioners by searching practitioners'
homes or workplaces, and confiscating computers and Dafa materials.
The Hegang city government, local police, and a "6-10 office"
started a so-called "100-day mass campaign," aimed at putting pressure
on Dafa practitioners and slandering Falun Dafa. They followed practitioners
everywhere they went, tapped their phones, searched their homes, and kidnapped
them. So far, a few practitioners have been arrested, but most have left their
homes to avoid being arrested.

11. [Hainan Province] Shangongli Forced Labor Camp Brutally Persecutes Dafa
Practitioners
Practitioners in both Shangongli Male and Female Forced Labor Camps have not
met with their families for four months. The camps do not allow practitioners'
families to send them clothes, even though the weather is already very cold.
Information is tightly blocked, so practitioners' families do not even know if
the practitioners are still alive.
The Resident Committee of Haikou City, the Neighborhood Committee, the County
Government, the Security Department and the Police Station have set up
brainwashing classes in which they try to force practitioners to give up their
belief in Dafa. Currently, a large number of practitioners have been kidnapped
or deceived into going to these classes. These committees and departments are
penalized if practitioners who are put under their "care" refuse to
renounce Dafa.
The guards in the classes use all kinds of brutal means to torture
practitioners. Practitioners are often denied sleep and suffer various mental
and physical tortures. The guards abuse the laws and deprive practitioners of
their most fundamental rights. They transfer practitioners who refuse to write
the "guarantee statements"[renouncing Falun Dafa] directly to
the forced labor camps.
