1. [Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Do Fa-rectification
in front of the Court
When some practitioners learned that 5 practitioners would be brought to
court on December 12, 2001, they gathered together in front of the Yangming
District Court as early as 6 a.m., hanging up Falun Dafa banners and waiting
there. At 8 a.m. when the police van with the 5 practitioners came, they called
out, "Falun Dafa is good! Release all Falun Dafa practitioners
unconditionally!" Seeing that most of the audience in the court were
practitioners, the police tried to disperse the group by lying to them saying,
"The location of today's trial has been moved to the Middle Court. Please
leave." But no one listened to them, so they had no alternative but to
begin the session. The practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts in the
audience to eliminate the evil. Because the evidence used by the prosecutor was
fabricated, the defense lawyer was able to use logic to refute the lies one by
one. Finally, the court was suspended.
We hope all the kind-hearted people and human rights organizations will pay
attention to the illegally detained practitioners and support their
unconditional release.
2. [Beijing] The Torture and Killing in Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp
I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1995. My husband was also a practitioner.
Ever since the persecution of Falun Dafa, we have visited Beijing 12 times to
appeal to the government to stop the persecution. The last time, the police sent
us to Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp in Beijing.
The police tried to force us to write "letters to guarantee giving up
practicing." When we refused, they beat us and tortured us with ancient
methods of "squeezing the figures between sticks" and "locking up
in wooden fixtures." They even poured hot asphalt on the road and forced my
husband to walk on it in his bare feet. Still, he refused to write the
statement. The police hung him upside down for two days until they finally
tortured him to death. I reported it to the supervising police guard. They were
afraid that I might tell other people about my husband's death, so they
attempted to torture me to death as well. They squeezed my breasts with wooden
sticks until I lost consciousness. I could barely function when I regained
consciousness. Practitioners are experiencing countless tortures like this in
jail.
I must reveal the truth of the persecution and seek justice for my husband.
3. [Northeastern China] Stories of Fa-rectification in the Brainwashing Class
A procurator in a city of Northeastern China gave a lecture in a brainwashing
class. He mentioned how advanced the science, technology, and medicine were in
China, and he slandered Falun Dafa at the same time. After the lecture, a
practitioner asked him questions while many other practitioners gathered around
him.
The practitioner asked, "You said that science, technology, and medicine
were advanced in China, so why couldn't they treat Ms.Ma Hua, the gymnastics
coach who died of leukemia? Did she have no money for medical treatment, or did
she not exercise everyday? Why did she die? You said our practice is not good.
Why did the practitioners who had leukemia and started practicing Falun Dafa in
their critical period completely recover within a year? Please tell us which is
more advanced and which is more well developed." He had no answer to these
questions.
The practitioners kindly told him not to slander Falun Dafa and its teacher.
Falun Dafa is the law of the cosmos. It is the more advanced and supernormal
science, unparalleled by the science of the human world.
4. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Practitioner Su Lifeng's Life is in
Danger
Practitioner Su Lifeng is currently in the hospital of Tiebei Forced Labor
Camp in Changchun City, Jilin Province. She was kidnapped by the people in
"6-10 Office" on October 28, 2001 and remains there[The 6-10 office
is a bureau specifically created by the Chinese government to persecute
Falun Gong. It has absolute power over each level of administration in the
Party, as well as over the political and judiciary branches]. It is said
that she was tortured in a police station, then in the Police Department of
Changchun City, and also in No. 3 Custodial Center in Shuangyang. She has been
rushed to emergency treatment 4 or 5 times. The "6-10 Office" is
blocking the news and denying the family visitation. We are looking for the
details of Su Lifeng's persecution.
We suggest that practitioners send forth the purest and firmest righteous
thoughts to eliminate the evil, stop the persecution, and help the detained
practitioners regain their freedom.
We solemnly warn the people in the "6-10 Office" and other
perpetrators: No matter what you do to persecute Falun Dafa, you are doing the
most evil thing. Jiang Zemin has committed all sorts of crimes and must be
brought to justice. How could his pawns run free any longer? Those who harm
others are actually doing harm to themselves. Persecuting the kind and innocent
is similar to digging one's own grave. Don't fool yourselves, and don't take
advantage of the benevolence of practitioners. Stop the evil conduct. Otherwise,
you will receive retribution very soon and you will suffer pain endlessly.
5. [Beijing] Lawyer Li Wendong and His Wife Shao Yan, a Lecturer in the
University of Agriculture, Are Detained in Haidian Police Department Branch
Li Wendong, male, used to be a lawyer in a shipping company in Beijing. Shao
Yan, female, used to be a professor at the Agriculture University. Because they
are firm in the practice of Falun Dafa, they were forced to abandon their home
to avoid persecution. They were arrested at the end of August 2001 in Haidian
District. They have since been transferred to Haidian Police Department Branch.
Though the winter is turning severe, they have been left in only summer clothes.
6. [Jianping County, Liaoning Province] The Facts of Persecution and the
Perpetrators in Jianping County
Since July 20, 1999 when the Chinese government started persecuting Falun
Dafa, the Party Committee and Police Department in Jianping County have been
acting against their consciences as well as breaking the law by arresting
practitioners and torturing them inhumanly. They kick the practitioners with
their boots, strike their faces and heads with heavy objects, put them in
freezing cold rooms, beat them with belts, deny them sleep, and take turns
trying to brainwash them. Practitioners are forced to write letters of guarantee
giving up practicing and letters of repentance. They are forced to turn in money
before being released, from 3,000 Yuan to 10,000 Yuan. (Yuan is Chinese
currency. The average monthly income of an urban worker is 500 Yuan.) Those
who paid the money were not given receipts, while those who couldn't afford the
charge are endlessly detained or sent to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.

7. [Changlinzi, Harbin Province] Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp Forced
Visitors to Defame Falun Dafa
Shi Changjing, vice-director of Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp, who headed the
department responsible for reforming Falun Dafa practitioners, and the associate
manager of the Educational Section, Yang Yu, came up with a so-called
questionnaire for visitors of Falun Dafa practitioners. Only those who defamed
Falun Dafa were allowed to see their relatives, regardless of the relationships
between the visitors and the practitioners, or the distance traveled for the
visit. This is a typical example of forcing people to commit crimes against
Falun Dafa. It was estimated that for the past few months, hundreds of visitors
of practitioners have been forced to fill out the questionnaire against Falun
Dafa. We hope that the public will express their concerns over this and resist
the evil practice. Falun Dafa practitioners: please send forth righteous
thoughts to eliminate the evil elements behind this.

8. [Wusong County, Jilin Province] A Number of Falun Dafa Practitioners Are
Forcibly Taken into Custody
About twenty days ago, practitioners from Wusong County, Li Zhengfang, Li
Xiaowen, Zhang Xiushan, Song Weixiang and Meng (first name unknown) were taken
into custody by the local police. They are currently being held at the Wusong
County Police Detention Center. It was said that the police had hired a group of
local thugs to watch for Falun Dafa practitioners. For each practitioner caught,
they were awarded 2000 Yuan (approximately 4 month salary of an average urban
worker).
Practitioners from Wusong County please send forth righteous thoughts and
help those who are held in custody to get out of the detention center. We would
also like to make the perpetrators aware that you have incurred insurmountable
crimes by hurting Falun Dafa practitioners. If you do not stop now, you will
receive retribution in no time.
Perpetrators' phone numbers:
Office of the Police Chief of Wushong County: 86-439-6218754

9. [Jixi County, Heilongjiang Province] Police at Jixi Forced Labor Camp
Repeatedly Beat Up Practitioners
In early July, the over 20 Falun Dafa practitioners unlawfully detained at
Jixi Forced Labor Camp went on a hunger strike. Policemen Zhang Guohua and Qi
Min took practitioner Li Chongjun to a separate room and beat him with clubs all
over his body. They also threatened to sentence him to imprisonment. In the
meantime, Li's wife, who had been taken away from #8510 Farm, Heilongjiang
Province, by Jidong County Police for "questioning," was instead
brutally beaten from the waist down until she was black and blue all over.
In August, policeman Zhang Guohua forced practitioner Zhang Haitao and Ma
Chuncheng to write the "Code of Conduct for Inmates." Practitioners
refused to cooperate, realizing it was a conspiracy. Zhang Guohua placed the
practitioners into a separate room and along with policemen Qi Min, Gu Dejun,
Zhu Lijun (group leader). He brutally beat Zhang Haitao and Ma Chuncheng. Zhang
Haitao fainted and fell to the ground after four rounds of beating while Ma
Chuncheng was rendered unable to walk, suffering injuries all over his body.
In September, they tried to force practitioners to have their heads shaved,
but they resisted it. They said, "We are not criminals. We refuse to have
our heads shaved." Then the policemen called the practitioners one after
another to a separate room to beat them. Due to the torture, practitioner Ye
Zhenghui lost hearing in his left ear while Zhang Peizeng lost hearing in his
right ear.
In November, Fan Mingsheng, (nephew of Zhang Yulan, one of the practitioners
who was tortured to death at Wanjia Forced Labor Camp) was put under a bed board
with his hands and legs tied up by policeman Qi Min and inmates Xiao Yingjun and
Xing Daliang. Fan was kept there in the dark simply because he tried to practice
the exercises.
Ren Shouzhi, a 62-year-old retired teacher from Agricultural Vocational
School, Jidong County, was kicked, punched and beaten with clubs by policemen
Zhang Guohua and Qi Min because he did not call out his number at the
appropriate time. To stop him from speaking, the policemen stuck an inmate's
dirty socks into his mouth.
The above were crimes committed against Falun Dafa practitioners by the
police at Jixi Forced Labor Camp. We appeal to the international human rights
organizations to condemn the brutalities led by Jiang Zemin and his followers,
return freedom to Falun Dafa practitioners and put an end to the persecution in
China.

11. [China] An Extraordinary Event in My Childhood: In the Air Stood a Giant
Buddha
I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1999, and my younger sister started
practicing at the end of 1998. After that, one day, my sister read Teacher Li's
poem, "The Great Enlightened" in which it says "Having experienced tens
of thousands of tribulations; Two feet treading on thousands of demons; Upright
palm--heaven and earth shake. In the air stands a giant Buddha" (from
Teacher Li's book Hong Yin, unofficial translation). Then my sister suddenly
asked me: "Do you still remember when we were kids (It was around 1980. At
that time, I was 8 or 9 years old, and my sister was 6 or 7.) and one night, Mom
wasn't home. We were playing together in the yard when we saw a giant who was as
tall as the sky with a halo behind him. Both of us were a little scared by the
sight of the giant, so we held hands and looked up at the grand giant in the
sky. At that instant, we felt a sense of closeness to him and security, and were
not scared anymore. Time seemed to stand still. The grand giant stared at us. It
seemed like he wanted to give us a message. This went on for a few minutes, then
the halo behind the grand giant became larger and larger, until it spread
everywhere. While this was happening, the grand giant became smaller and
smaller. It was just like we were watching a movie. Then everything completely
disappeared." We lived in an old village house during that time. We thought
all the people in the village probably saw the scene of the grand giant as we
did. But when Mom came home, she said she didn't see anything and neither did
the older woman next door. She thought we were joking, or telling her a
fairytale. Actually, no one else who lived in the village saw anything. I hadn't
thought about this extraordinary event for a long time until my sister mentioned
it. Thinking back, the grand giant in the air was Teacher Li. The compassionate,
great Teacher Li has given everything he has to save all sentient beings.
A period when the Fa is being so widely spread has never before happened in
the entire history of the cosmos. We are so blessed to be Fa-rectification
period Dafa disciples. I hope every Fa-rectification cultivator will seize this
precious opportunity.
12. [China] Miracle on a Watermelon Patch
There was a watermelon patch located in the downtown area of a mountain
village. A ditch that goes from east to west separates the land into two parts.
Ordinary farmers own the land south of the ditch, and a Dafa disciple owns the
land north of the ditch. This summer, it hailed in this mountain village. While
that was happening, a man decided to wait in the watermelon patch to avoid the
hail. He saw that all the hail was falling to the south of the ditch, and
nothing was falling to the land north of the ditch. Due to the hail, the land
south of the ditch was pummeled and damaged. In contrast, the land north of the
ditch was perfectly fine, and eventually they harvested the watermelon from that
plot of land. The story of this event was spread far and wide. People in the
mountain village said, "Falun Gong is simply extraordinary. If I hadn't
seen that first hand, I wouldn't believe it." At this, a Dafa disciple
spread the Fa to the people in that mountain village. During this difficult
time, the evil is still brutally persecuting Dafa disciples, but there are more
and more people in this mountain village who are taking up Falun Dafa
cultivation.
