2. [Shouguang City, Shandong Province] Authorities Conduct Show Trial and Sentence Practitioners to Labor Camps

On the morning of December 4, 2001, an "open meeting" which was in reality a show trial, was held in front of Shouguang City Theatre that was attended by some officials from the local government offices including: Vice Party Secretary of the city government Zhu Lekai and officials from the People's Congress, the Court, the Procuratorate, and the Police Department. The names of some attendees are: Wu Hengxiang, Xia Hongmao, Zhang Jintang, Zhang Yanming, Sheng Wanbo, Yuan Yinjie, Wang Maoxing, and Liu Xingming. The Vice Director of Shouguang City Police Department Zhao read the verdict. Several practitioners were given sentences of one to two years. The crimes they were charged with included "hiding Falun Gong books," "distributing Falun Gong flyers," and "unfurling Falun Gong banners at Tiananmen Square." The practitioners were: Liu Zongshan (male, about 50, from the town of Hualong in Shouguang City), Chen Guotai (male, from the town of Beiluo in Shouguang City), Li Ailing (female, about 55, from the town of Jitai in Shouguang City), Sun Yufang (female), and two practitioners whose last names were Wang and Sun.

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)

4. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Facts of Persecution Against Dafa Practitioners

Liu Yunchao, male, 45, was illegally jailed for 15 days in January 2000 for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. In April 2000, he was illegally detained and sent to a brainwashing class in Jiangan District for more than a month. On October 25, while preparing Dafa materials in a fellow practitioner's home, he was arrested by police from Siwei Street Police Station, illegally detained and tortured for about one year. He has since been illegally sentenced to 2 years in Hewan Forced Labor Camp in Wuhan City.

Luo Yuanying, female, 42, a clerk in the Industry and Business Bureau of Hankou, Wuhan City, was illegally jailed several times because she had gone twice to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. She was illegally held and sent to a brainwashing class in Jiangan District for over 6 months. On October 25, while preparing Dafa materials in a fellow practitioner's home, she was arrested by police from Siwei Street Police Station, unlawfully detained and tortured for about a year. She was tortured for practicing while in the jail, yet she did not give in. She has been sentenced to 2 years of forced labor in Hewan Forced Labor Camp, Wuhan City.

Qu Dongju, female, 32, was arrested for practicing Falun Gong in Bingjiang Park in December 1999. She was detained and sent to a brainwashing class in Jiangan District for over 8ámonths.

She is now detained in the First Detention Center, Wuhan City.

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.

6. [Anshan, Liaoning Province] Criminal Facts in the Anshan Forced Labor Camp

• The Anshan Forced Labor Camp recently presented a play that slandered Dafa and defamed Dafa practitioners. The directors were Bai Chunyu and Zhang Qianfeng, who used to practice Falun Gong but were brainwashed. They even planned to take the play on tour.

• Zhang Zhenyang, Political Commissar of the Anshan Forced Labor Camp, illegally detained Dafa practitioners for long periods of time, sometimes as long as one year. He also deceived Dafa practitioners' family members. Zhang was appraised by some officials in Liaoning Province as an "Excellent Model in Brainwashing" practitioners.

• The camp made use of strict rules and physical punishment to torture determined Dafa practitioners. The tortures included sitting on a very small stool, being beaten with bamboo plates, being slapped in the face, being deprived of sleep, and not being allowed visits from family members. They forced a group of former practitioners[who had renounced Falun Dafa due to the persecution] to harass one steadfast Dafa practitioner at a time. Many determined Dafa practitioners are still detained there.

7. [Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province] Dafa Practitioners in Hebei Normal University Are Kidnapped

Liu Aiyang, female, 52, a retiree in Hebei Normal University was kidnapped on December 5, 2001 by Guangan Street Community Office and sent to a brainwashing class. Retired teacher Zhang Xiuzhen was sent to the brainwashing class on October 9, and still has not been released.

8. [Nanchang, Hunan Province] What Kind of Law is This?

Zhang Li, female, in her thirties, was illegally sentenced to one year in prison by Xihu District Court in Nanchang City. In the court, she solemnly said, "Falun Dafa is good," and as a result, her sentence was extended to three years.

9. [Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province] "6-10 Office" Committed a 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.

10. [Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province] Police Kidnap Dafa Practitioners

Three Dafa practitioners were arrested in their homes, simply because the police suspected that they spread the truth about Falun Dafa. The three practitioners are: Li Yuhua, female, in her fifties; Shi Shuzhen, female, 46; Shi Yongcheng, male, 66, who was illegally jailed for more than four months for going to Beijing to appeal and was recently released.

A section director (name is not known), 86-13845891003 (cell)

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.

12. [Bazhong City, Sichuan Province] Facts about the Persecution of Dafa Practitioners

On February 1, 2001, Bazhong Custodial Center illegally detained a large number of practitioners. Among those whose names are known are Yan Huiying, Zhou Taishu, Gou Jufen, Lei Juzhen, Yang Qinghua, Zhou Lihua. Yan Huiying was sentenced for four years and Zhou Taishu for two and a half years. The guards were heard telling them, "If you pass out one more flyer, that means one more year of imprisonment!"

In October 2001, Bazhong Custodial Center illegally incarcerated Liao Guifang and Han Zhencai, practitioners in the Huacong Region. The guards extorted from them a large sum of money before releasing them.

The following people in Bazhong City have repeatedly arrested, beat and extorted money from practitioners. They are:
