[Beijing] Righteous Western Tourists Protect Dafa Practitioners on Tiananmen
Square
On November 27th, six practitioners from northeastern China stepped onto
Tiananmen Square, unfolded a Dafa banner and shouted from the bottom of their
hearts, "Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is a righteous Fa! Restore the
reputation of our Teacher!" The vicious police and plainclothesmen rushed
at them from all directions. At this moment, a tourist group made up of
Westerners passed by. They surrounded one of the six practitioners tightly to
protect him and indicated to him that he should hide the banner.
The police outside could do nothing about the situation and had to leave. As
a result, this practitioner returned home safely with the protection of those
Western tourists. The other five practitioners were all illegally arrested, and
their whereabouts are unknown.
Here we are very grateful to those kind-hearted Western tourists. Your
benevolent hearts and just actions will bring a bright future to you.
[Zhenzhou City, Henan Province] The Power of Dafa Shocks the Evil
Some evil thugs from a hydraulic institute in Zhenzhou wanted to force three
practitioners to attend a brainwashing class. Since they could not find two of
the practitioners, they sent someone to monitor the house of the third. They
planned to abduct him secretly at night. When this practitioner returned home in
the evening, Li XX, a staff member from the security section stopped him. This
practitioner understood the situation instantly, and asked Li sternly, "Li
XX, am I a good person or a bad person?" Li XX replied at once, "Good
person, good person." This practitioner asked, "Then what are you
doing? Why do you treat me this way?" At this time another security staff
member, Guo XX, pointed to a dark corner and said, "Let's go over there to
talk." This practitioner thought instantly, "The evil is scared of
being exposed in the light." He decided not to cooperate with the evil and
said loudly, "If you have anything to say, let us go to a bright
place!" Hearing these words, the evil was scared. Several people were
hiding in the dark corner. The practitioner warned, "Stop! I tell you it is
extremely sinful to persecute a Dafa practitioner; and it brings great virtue to
protect a Dafa practitioner!" After he said this, all of those people were
stunned and could not move. They stood there, staring. The practitioner saw this
and thought, "I must leave". He got on his bicycle and left home
immediately.
[Pingdu City, Shandong Province] "The Evil Ones Should Think Twice about
Their Flagrant Savagery"
Since November, the evil people from three townships in the Beishan area --
Jiudian, Zhugou, and Yunshan--crazily arrested about twenty Dafa practitioners.
At the beginning of November, three practitioners from Yunshan township went to
Beijing to validate Dafa and were escorted back by the local police. They were
detained illegally, interrogated and tortured inhumanely. Two of them were
released unconditionally; the other was escorted away from Yunshan. What his
family saw, several days later, was his ash box. (The details are under
investigation)
On November 20th, Dafa practitioners from Jiudian township held a Fa
conference and suffered severe persecution from the evil. On that day the evil
sent many police vehicles to arrest over ten Dafa practitioners. Three
practitioners who did not attend the conference were also arrested at their
homes later. Their homes were also ransacked.
Among the arrested practitioners, six were from Yunshan township. The vicious
policemen from each town went to Jiujian to escort the practitioners back to
their hometowns. The chief of Yunshan's local military squad, Guo Linqing, was
extremely cruel. When he recognised a local practitioner, he ordered five or six
vicious policemen to pounce on the practitioner like a pack of wolves. They beat
him brutally. After that, Guo stepped up and grabbed his arm, beating and
abusing him further. The practitioner's wrist was broken. Six practitioners from
Zhugou, Pingdu township were sent to the Jiudian police station. Vicious policemen
handcuffed each of them and unlawfully tortured them, utilizing very brutal
means. The eyewitnesses said it was too cruel to watch. The degree of
viciousness displayed was unprecedented in the history of the town. The police
from Zhugou were also very evil. After they beat the practitioners, they
ransacked their homes and took what they could get their hands on. They took
their food and home electronics. A family member of a practitioner said,
"They even took a rechargeable flashlight."
[Changchun City, Jilin Province] Dafa Practitioner Liang Lijie Is Arrested
Dafa practitioner Liang Lijie is a lecturer for the No.2 University of
Aeronautics of the Air Force. She has a post-graduate degree. In November 2000,
she went to Beijing to appeal and was illegally dismissed from her job. On
November 30th, 2001, she was arrested while distributing Dafa
materials in the Erdao area in Changchun. She has been sent to the No.3
Changchun Detention Centre. According to our information, five practitioners
have been dismissed from their Air Force jobs.
[Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province] Exposing the Crimes of Yangming
Public Security Bureau's Persecution of Dafa Practitioners
The malevolent policemen in Yangming Public Security Bureau in Mudanjiang
City of Heilongjiang Province are "famous" for their "high rate
of cracking criminal cases" by using torture to extort confessions. They
also said that it was common to beat a couple of people to death while handling
a case. In other words, injuring or disabling someone is not worth mentioning.
The following are some experiences of Dafa practitioners.
Huang Guodong: On February 9, 2001, police from Yangming Public Security
Bureau and Henanshan Police Station in Tieling City tricked Huang Guodong into
going to the police station and tortured him by "Tying the Ropes" (The
police tie up the practitioner with a thin rope, circle the rope around his
neck, and tie his hands behind his back. Then the police will use all the force
they can muster to tighten the rope. The rope becomes tighter and tighter around
the body of the practitioner, making it more and more difficult for him to
breathe. The pain can be so intense that the practitioner sometimes loses
control of his bladder. There are instances when the rope was tightened enough
to break a practitioner's arm. This modern instrument of torture is very cruel
and has three levels. An ordinary person will become disabled due to damage to
the nerves after being tortured like this for several minutes. For the first and
the second pulls of the strings, a person can still endure, but when it comes to
the third pull of the string, the chest will feel very painful, like it is being
torn apart. Ordinary people will even admit they are murderers even if they are
not after undergoing such torture. After Huang Guodong passed out, the policemen
Xie Chunsheng and Miao Qiang still did not let him off. They used coins to
scrape his bones and stabbed his fingers with. They poured cold water on him to
wake him up, then continued to interrogate and beat him. They tortured him for
many continuous days and also tried to force him to confess other irrelevant
things.
Zhao Jun: On February 24, policemen from Yangming Public Security Bureau
forcibly abducted Zhao Jun and took his computer from his home. On the same
night, he was tortured by "Tying the Ropes" three times (the last time
was at the third level). After Zhao Jun passed out, the policemen used the
needles to stab the tips of his fingers and scraped his flesh to wake him up.
Then they continued to torture him. The next day, Zhao Jun's arms became swollen
and his right wrist was disabled. Later, the diagnosis showed that the nerves
controlling the left side and central part of his body were damaged, causing him
to become disabled. In order to avoid responsibility for the offence, the
policemen claimed that Zhao Jun wore the handcuffs on the iron chair and fell
down himself to become disabled. The police also used all kinds of cruel means
to torture Dafa practitioners such as sleep deprivation, force feeding them
mind-altering drugs, suffocating the practitioners by covering their heads with
cotton hats, hanging them up, etc. After nine months, when they still did not
have enough evidence to cause damage to Dafa, they turned their dark hearts to
Zhao Jun's son, Zhao Dan, and forced a student who is a non-practitioner to
testify in order to convict his father.
Zhao Dan is the so-called key witness for the police. He is a first year
student at the Mudanjiang professional medical training school, and a
non-practitioner. In order to fabricate the charges against Zhao Jun and other
Dafa practitioners, the police tricked him into going to the police station.
They tortured Zhao Dan by cuffing his hands behind his back onto the iron chair,
covering him with a winter coat, not allowing him to go to the restroom or drink
water. While the young man was confused, the policemen held his hand and signed
the "testimony of the witness" on their fabricated record.
Today, we have learned that on the 12th of this month, the court will
illegally and publicly put Zhao Jun and other Dafa practitioners on trial.

[Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] The Family of Dafa Practitioner Wang Lei
was Illegally Sentenced to Imprisonment
Public security mediator Qiao Tiehong in Xin'an community on Baoan street,
Guta District, Jinzhou City reported Dafa practitioner Wang Lei for setting up
speakers to broadcast the truth about Dafa. As a result, all four people in Wang
Lei's family were illegally arrested and they were sentenced to imprisonment on
the morning of December 3, 2001 in a Guta courtroom.
Wang Lei was illegally sentenced to four years and six months; Li Fengqing
was sentenced to three years and six months. At the same time, the policemen
ransacked their home and took away their computer, copy machine, printer and CD
burner, etc causing undetermined damage to Dafa.
[Lanzhou City, Gansu Province] Lanzhou City Holds a "Closed Brainwashing
Class"
It is said that the evil force in Lanzhou City held a "closed
brainwashing class," sponsored by the politics and law committee and the
"610 Office." The work units cooperated by providing the money and the
manpower. One of the sites was the warehouse of the former Lanzhou department
store near Gongjiawan, Lanzhou City. At the moment, some Dafa practitioners have
already been abducted and their whereabouts are not known.
It is said that after Dafa practitioner Tan Xiaorong, a Ph.D. student of
Lanzhou University was illegally detained for more than five months, she was
illegally sentenced to 18 months of forced labor. In late November 2001, she was
sent to Pingantai Forced Labor Camp, where she was watched and monitored by
seven ordinary prisoners who tried to brainwash her. Her husband, Zhang Qihu, is
a teacher at the Xuzhou City Regular School. Because he cultivated Dafa, he was
illegally sentenced to forced labor. Their child is only two years old and is
being looked after by relatives.
Cong Qiuzi is a retired employee of the Institute of Chemistry and Physics,
Chinese Academy of Sciences. She and her husband are both Dafa practitioners,
and also professors of the institute. In mid-November, 2001, when their home was
ransacked for the third time, An'ning Public Security Sub-Bureau of Lanzhou City
confiscated their computer, printer and other scientific research equipment. The
evil people from the Institute of Chemistry and Physics, Chinese Academy of
Sciences reduced Cong Qiuzi's salary and only paid him 300 Yuan (the average
monthly salary of a worker in a Chinese city is 500 Yuan) per month to
barely cover his living expense, which made the people who learned the facts
about this very astonished. The evil people have been treating Cong Qiuzi in
this way for more than one year.
[Panjin City, Liaoning Province] The Forced Labor Camp in Panjin City is
Illegally Detaining Falun Gong Practitioners
Reports say that there are several Falun Gong practitioners who are still
being illegally detained in the Panjin City Forced Labor Camp. The Camp
officials have extended practitioners' terms, using as their justification their
refusal to give up their practice of Falun Dafa. Some practitioners have been
held for over half a year beyond their actual detention terms. The freedom of
belief is protected by the Chinese Constitution and is also one of the basic
human rights of a citizen. Prolonging practitioners' detention terms because
their beliefs are inconsistent with those of the people in power is both
deplorable and in violation of the law.
[Changtu City, Liaoning Province] The Police in Lao Township Commit New Crimes
Recent reports say that the police in Lao Township in Changtu City, Liaoning
Province illegally ransacked Dafa practitioners' homes, harming innocent people.
They unlawfully detained two practitioners -- one for having a poster
illustrating and explaining Falun Gong exercises and the other for having a
Falun Dafa tape in his home. These practitioners did not cooperate with the
evil. With righteous thoughts, on that same night, they walked out of the
detention center. Currently they have been forced to become homeless in order to
avoid illegal arrest.
[Tieling City, Liaoning Province] Tieling City Holds Forced Brainwashing
Class
On November 26, the people used by the old evil forces started to brainwash
Dafa practitioners at home. They held a forced brainwashing class in Tieling
City. Officials from the police stations in each area deceived and/or kidnapped
practitioners and took them to the brainwashing class. In these brainwashing
classes a practitioner can't be released until he writes a "guarantee
letter."
Those who enlightened along an evil path [those who were successfully
brainwashed and renounced Falun Gong] and cooperated with the evil force by
attempting to brainwash other practitioners include:

The crimes of Sun Lizhong from the District Political Protection Section in
Tieling City: During the past two years, Sun Lizhong has taken the lead in
persecuting Dafa and Dafa practitioners. He has arrested and beat practitioners,
fined them, sent them to detention centers and forced labor camps, and illegally
confiscated Dafa practitioners' cars, computers, cellular phones, and other
property. He has taken advantage of his position of authority to steal from
hardworking practitioners and used the money for feasting, gambling, and
visiting prostitutes.
[Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province] The Crimes Committed in Zaohezi Forced
Labor Camp
Zhang Mingliang, 55 years old, is a resident of Baqiao District of Xi'an
City. Zhang used to suffer from cancer, but completely recovered after
cultivating Falun Dafa. In October 2001, the police sent this elderly man to a
forced labor camp, simply because he was determined in his belief. The
unimaginably cruel guards assigned two prisoners specifically to force him to
give up his cultivation of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and
Forbearance." The guards even promised to reduce the prisoners' sentences
if they could successfully force him to give up his practice. The prisoners beat
him mercilessly. They did not give him food to eat, nor did they allow him to
sleep. Even though he is still being held in the forced labor camp and his life
is in danger, he remains steadfast in his practice.
[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Facts about the Persecution of Li
Hongbin, A Dafa Practitioner in Harbin City
Li Hongbin is a male, 43 years of age. On November 3, 2000, he went to
Beijing to validate Dafa. Zhang, the assistant chief of the A'cheng Police
Department, working in the A'cheng's Liaison Office in Beijing, extorted 158
Yuan from Li. The unscrupulous police from A'cheng Minzhu Police Station further
extorted 3,000 Yuan from his family, and because they illegally took the money
did not give any receipt.
On November 3, 2000 Li Hongbin went to Beijing to validate Dafa. A group
consisting of police and plain-clothes officials beat him brutally. As a result,
his mouth was bleeding and he was almost suffocated. Then the police sent him to
Qianmen Police Station where a tall policeman brutally beat him with a rubber
club. After making a search of his body and interrogating him, the policeman
forcibly sent him to A'cheng's Liaison Office in Beijing. Once again he was
cursed at, beaten and searched by Zhang, the assistant chief of A'cheng Police
Department. After being escorted back to A'cheng, he was illegally detained for
15 days simply because he called out "Falun Dafa is good."
On December 19, 2000, led by the assistant chief of Minzhu Police Station, a
group of policemen and other unidentified people went to Li Hongbin's home and
tried to take him to a brainwashing class. Li Hongbin refused and said that he
would not go with them because he needed to take care of his wife who was ill.
They then pried his door open and broke into his home. The assistant chief beat
him to the ground and gave him no chance to speak on his own behalf. The others
ransacked his home. They took away the portrait of Teacher, a copy of Zhuan
Falun, Teacher's articles, exercise tapes, exercise mats, and other
property. Li Hongbin was sent to the brainwashing class. The next morning,
police officer Cheng Wenkui took him away, telling him that he would be able to
go back home. However, he actually deceived him into going to Minzhu Police
Station, where they illegally interrogated him, but got nothing from him. Chief
of police Wang Hengxian cursed him, hit his head and face, slapped him and
grabbed him by the hair. He asked the other policemen to bring an iron chair and
forced Li Hongbin to sit on it. They pulled out a lot of his hair and hit his
mouth until it was bleeding. At that time, these inhumane men asked him to sign
his name, but Li refused and asserted his innocence. The chief, Wang Hengxian
then shouted loudly, "Whether he signs or not, send him to the detention
center and sentence him to a forced labor camp." As a result, he was
illegally sent to the detention center that afternoon. After being held in the
detention center for 2 months, he was unlawfully sentenced to 1 year in a forced
labor camp for "disturbing social security."
[Qiongshan City, Hainan Province] Qiongshan City's Public
Security Bureau in Hainan Province Extorted Money From the Owner of a Photocopy
Store
In July 2001, a photocopy store in Qiongshan city, Hainan
Province, was sealed up by the Qiongshan City Public Security Bureau. The reason
given was that this photocopy store made copies of the Dafa truth-clarifying
materials. The photocopying facilities, including the computer, were
confiscated, and the storeowner was put into a detention center and fined.
Later on the storeowner was released after he paid a deposit
of thirty thousand Yuan as bail. He had to guarantee that he would not copy any
Dafa truth-clarifying materials within one year so as to get back the money.
It was said that this storeowner had spent almost ten
thousand Yuan in entertaining the officials before he was released. All the
common people said the police in the public security bureau were really greedy.
[Wuhan City, Hubei Province] The New Procedures Used by the
Evil Forces in Wuhan to Persecute Dafa Practitioners
Since December 2001, the Wuchan District Public Security
Bureau in Wuhan City started asking for photos and handwriting samples of Dafa
practitioners. They posted the practitioners' personal information onto the
Internet. All the information concerning the practitioners that were registered
in the police substations, residence committees, and the street committees was
posted on the Internet so that the practitioners would be closely checked when
they are going abroad, interrogated and arrested.
[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] The Criminal List of
the Public Security Department of Heilongjiang Province
Ren is in charge of persecuting Falun Gong in Harbin's Public
Security Bureau of the Department of Public Security of Heilongjiang Province.
His home telephone number is 86-451-4661936; his cellular phone is
86-13019018617; his pager is 4661188 page 905.
Liu Kan is the evil policeman of the Political and Security
Section of the Nangang Police Substation of Harbin's Public Security Bureau of
Heilongjiang Province. His evil deeds have previously been exposed on Minghui
net. We hope fellow practitioners who have suffered from his persecution can
work together to expose his evil deeds so as to suffocate and eradicate the
evil. His cellular phone number is 86-130-09807771.
[Anshan City, Liaoning Province] Exposing the Evil Done by
the Liaoning Anshan Labor Camp
One practitioner from Anshan Labor Camp gave up cultivation
temporarily against his will under the persecution of the evil. Meanwhile, all
his family members were illegally sentenced to forced labor, since they all
practiced Falun Dafa. The labor camp, in order to force him to give up
cultivation completely, told him with false kind-heartedness that he could take
one day off. Before he left, the chief of the education section, Zhang Yongli
threatened him: "If you do not come back, we will see that your best friend
dies here."
One of the practitioners in the Anshan Labor Camp understood
that it was wrong to give in to the evil forces, so he wrote a solemn statement
exposing the hidden truth that the labor camp made Dafa practitioners work
outside to make money for the labor camp. After the police found this letter
when they were searching his body, they immediately locked him up with the
criminal prisoners so as to persecute him severely.
