[Minghui Net] [Liaochen city, Shandong province] Short news Pan Baozhen was arrested in November 2000 for distributing Dafa literature at the Liaochen Education College. Her husband was detained as well for going to Beijing to appeal. Their whereabouts are unknown. We hope kindhearted people will pay attention to this issue. In addition, the ancient city of Dongchang has been silenced by the arrest of 11 chief teaching assistants at the beginning of the year. However, early in the morning of April 5, loudspeakers over the detention center broadcast the new scriptures of the Teacher and the latest news, which suffocated the evil forces and strengthened the practitioners' resolve to cultivate. [Baoding city, Hebei province] The Evil Forces Are Rampaging in Qingyuan County In Qingyuan County, Baoding City, Hebei Province recently, the evil forces extended their criminal hands to each government department, work unit, school, and countryside, all over the county. As they persecuted Dafa practitioners they also went all over to "collect signatures." They even harassed little children as they confused people's sense of right and wrong, and reversed black and white. On February 19, Lizhuang town authorities arrested 8 Dafa practitioners. They took them to the town government office and viciously beat them. After that, not caring whether they lived or died, or whether they were hurt or not, the authorities sent them to a detention center where they were subjected to even more brutal persecution. Those who committed violence included Secretary Liu, Secretary Wang, Zheng Xiangyang, Guo Yunjian, and others. On February 19, Ranzhuang Town arrested 3 practitioners and administered various degrees of beating and persecution. They were sent to the county's detention center on February 20. Also on February 20, Beiwang town arrested 6 practitioners. They were threatened and intimidated in the town government office and forced to pay a fine. Wang Guozhong was sent to the detention center for clarifying the truth to people. On February 20, Wenren town arrested one practitioner and sent him to a detention center after beating him up. In other towns and counties, practitioners Zhang Jian, Jianjun, and many more were arrested. The vice magistrate in charge of persecuting Falun Gong, Chen Jingfu, allowed people to run amok, breaking into residences, forcing practitioners to write "guarantee letters," and extorting money at will. They put the prepared documents in front of practitioners and ordered them to sign, or asked other people to sign for the practitioners, or asked practitioners to speak while other people wrote down their words. Internal sources disclose that Chen and his minions many times divided the money accumulated through the fines and confiscation of Falun Gong practitioners secretly in town and village government for their own use. Can such an official remain in his position? Besides persecuting Dafa practitioners, the authorities went to collect signatures everywhere, especially to middle schools and primary schools. Intimidating students by dismissing them from school, they forced students to sign and renounce Falun Gong. In schools they tried their best to defame Master Li and slander the universal great law. Under intimidation and threats, some students said some bad words against their will. Some wrote down false names. [Boye county, Hebei province] Tyrants Collect Fines for No Reason The impoverished Chendong town in Boye county, Hebei province adopted an extremely ridiculous policy in order to prevent Dafa practitioners from going to Beijing to appeal; local residents often objected, which made the police look like fools. The town government presented a prepared debt note to practitioners and asked them to sign. The note said, "I am forbidden to go to Beijing and appeal. I owe the government 10,000 Yuan." The officials said, "If you go to Beijing and fail to submit this amount of money, we will sue you." Another time, they found dozens of Dafa practitioners studying the Fa together and ordered everyone to sign the note. People all over town made fun of this. "Such a thing can only be found in a film produced by the [party name omitted] Party describing the miserable old society. There is no reason people who practice Falun Gong owe officials 10,000 Yuan; what a world this is!" [Changsha City, Human Province] A Family of Falun Gong Practitioners Arrested in Hunan Province Huang He, Huang Hao and their parents went to Beijing in succession last year to validate the Fa [law and principles], and each of them were detained for over a month after they had been arrested; they were escorted back to their hometown, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. It was the only case in Jiangxi Province in which all the family members practiced Falun Gong and all of them went to Beijing to appeal to higher authorities, a fact which the police found surprising. Actually, one of the main reasons that they had gone to Beijing was because they wanted to request an end to the continual harassment by the local police. During this Spring Festival, Jiang Zemin and his associates staged the "self-immolation incident" at Tiananmen Square that shocked the nation and the whole world. This incident imposed a lot of fears and pressures on the various authorities at different levels. Many practitioners left their homes because it was said that all practitioners who had not been "reformed" were to be sent to labor camps. Luo Fang (Huang Hao's wife and the niece of Wan Jing) had been threatened by her work unit on many occasions. Some people had also threatened Huang He. As a result, this family of five abandoned their home together. They stayed with the local practitioners in Changsha City, Hunan Province. They diligently studied the Fa every day and they also had indirect access to the articles on Minghui Net. The family gained a deeper and more rational understanding of the Fa. In the clarity of their understanding, they realized that now the strength of the evil force was only superficial, and that nobody would be able to defy the mighty Fa-rectification process. With this realization, they became even more determined. Later, their residential address was reported to the police, and on the morning of February 25, the police surrounded them, along with some other practitioners from Hunan Province. It is estimated that three or four hundred people witnessed this arrest. Since local Fa-promoting facilities and materials had been found at their residence, the treatment they received from police was especially cruel. The police maliciously mistreated and persecuted Huang He, Huang Hao, Luo Fang in Changsha City and in Nanchang City, using various means to force them to reveal the source of Internet access and contact information of practitioners in Changsha City. (Although Huang He, Huang Hao, Luo Fang, and the other practitioners from Changsha City arrested with them, were all computer literate, they did not have access to the Internet.) Later, they were sent back to Jiangxi Province, where they are now detained in Nanchang City. The police in Hunan Province were overheard to have privately said that the hands and arms of Luo Fang had become almost permanently disabled after she had been left hanging by her handcuffed wrists for so long. [Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province] The Situation of Falun Dafa Practitioners

  1. Deng Changjiu and Cai Daofeng are from Nanyang Town, Pengzhou City. They went to Beijing to appeal to higher authorities in January 2000, were arrested for no reason, and escorted back to a local detention center. On January 15, the Nanyang Town government contracted more than 50 thugs. Without any legal process, the gang confiscated all the family properties and grain rations from the homes of Deng Changjiu and Cai Daofeng. (Wu, one of the gang, had no job and was notorious for his gang fighting, thefts and robberies in the local community.) The Police Station of Pengzhou City forced Cai Daofeng into a labor camp in July 2000. The local government officials and police at the substation interrogated and beat Deng Changjiu many times during his illegal detention from January 18 to March 26, 2001.
  2. Wu Sange, a forty-year-old male, and Zhou Erjie, a female in her forties, are from Nanyang Town. They went to Beijing together to appeal to higher authorities this January. Afterwards, they were escorted back to Sichuan Province and detained at the Police Station in Pengzhou City. Their families bailed them out, which required a large amount of money, due to the crackdown on Falun Dafa.
  3. Xiaozhong and his wife are about 25 years old. They went to Beijing to appeal to higher authorities this January. After they had been escorted back to Sichuan Province, the vicious police in the local station severely beat Xiaozhong. The police had kicked and stomped on Xiaozhong so brutally that his stool had been literally beaten from his bowels. He had cuts and bruises all over his body and eventually passed out from the beating. Finally, the Police Station of Pengzhou City forced Xiaozhong into a labor camp.
  4. Zheng Weigang is about thirty years old and from Nanyang Town. This January 8, the local government officials interrogated him, inquiring, "Are you still practicing Falun Gong?" He answered, "Yes." Then a group of more than ten police officers beat him up. They turned off the lights when they beat Zheng Weigang, fearing their crimes might be exposed. Ten minutes later, they turned on the light and pulled him up from the ground. Then they turned off the light and beat him up again. They did this repeatedly, during which, Zheng Weigang passed out several times.
  5. On July 9, 2000, many practitioners in Pengzhou City came out to validate the Fa without any fear. They did Falun Gong exercises on the Square in front of the City Police Station. The police became furious and escalated the crackdown campaign. About 70 to 80 practitioners were fined and then were inhumanely persecuted when they were sent back to their local towns. In the case of Yang Shaoxiu, Xu Wen and Zhang Yingju, from Nanyang Town, the local police beat them with batons. Some vicious people in the local government even burned their faces and hands with lit cigarettes and burned their hair with lighters. This persecution continued for about two hours.
  6. Luo Shaoxiang, fromYongding Region, Pengzhou City, was 36 years old when he went to Beijing to appeal to higher authorities this January. Later, he was escorted back to the local police substation and fined 5,000 Yuan RMB (Approximately 10-month salary of an average urban worker). The police forced him to denounce Falun Dafa and the Teacher.
  7. Xiong Huiyi, from Zhihe Region, Pengzhou City, is 31 years old. He went to Beijing to appeal to higher authorities on January 24, 2000, and was detained in the Beijing Office of Sichuan Province. Chief Yang of the Police Station of Chengdu City hired two thugs to beat him for about six hours. Xiong Huiyi had blood all over his body and there were bloodstains all over the walls. His eyeglasses were broken and there were bruises all over his face, eyes and legs. His face had become swollen and deformed. He became deaf and also had blood in his urine. After midnight, he was hung over an iron pole, outdoors in the frozen winter air, for about eight hours. He completely lost all feeling in his hands from frostbite. He had 240 Yuan with him, which was eventually confiscated. He was sent back to the Detention Center of Pengzhou City on January 27. The malicious cops roughly slapped him on the face during the interrogation with no concern for his serious injuries. In order to force him to give up practicing Falun Gong, a brutal officer, Xie, incited criminals to take off his clothes and pour ninety basins of cold water on him while exposed to the cold winter air. He suffered hypothermia, almost to the point of passing out. Officer Xie then ordered the criminals to force him to drink cold water until he finally lost consciousness. After that, Officer Xie sent Xiong Huiyi to the medical room and made him regain consciousness by giving him an acupuncture treatment. Then Xiong was handcuffed, shackled and seated on a prison chair (an instrument of torture similar to the medieval rack) for three days and two nights. Even the hardened criminals in the same cell wept over his situation and put their own clothes on him to keep him warm. Although a malicious police officer had directly threatened and persecuted him during his detention term, Xiong Huiyi never gave in under the cruel persecution. On March 2, the Police Station of Pengzhou City sentenced him to forced labor "reeducation." He was sent to the Chengdu City Transfer Station on March 7. The cops extorted 120 Yuan from Xiong Huiyi and You Quanfu in the name of a "gas fee," supposedly to cover the expense of their transportation. When Xiong and You then had only 130 Yuan left with them, an older jailer, upon witnessing the "gas fee" extortion, took another 100 Yuan from them in the name of a supposed "lunch fee." Their daily toiletry items were also stolen. The Transfer Station is actually a place to extort prisoners' possessions. A dish of rotten vegetables with a few pieces of sliced meat was priced at 20 Yuan, and a dish of a little bit of duck was priced at 50 Yuan. Xiong Huiyi, You Quanfu and a few other practitioners were sent to an "Extensive Training Team" in Dayan Labor Camp of Ziyang City, on March 16. The group leader of the Team slapped their faces and took away their newly issued leather shoes, clothes and blankets. It was obvious that the police were shielding the cruel group leader. A group leader had once even burned practitioner Xie Zhiyuan's hands with boiling water. When Xiong Huiyi, You Quanfu and the other practitioners left the Team, they had only 30 Yuan left, and a female guard then confiscated that money. Xiong Huiyi, You Quanfu and the other practitioners were considered to have been "reformed," after having been forced to write "reforming" materials through the trickery and extreme pressure from the police at Dayan Labor Camp in August 2000, and Xiong Huiyi was finally released to go home in 2001. The local police had planned to use Xiong Huiyi as an example, to fight against Falun Dafa and to help organize a so-called "reforming class." But Xiong Huiyi refused to cooperate with their coercion, so they came to arrest him on the morning of the second day after the Spring Festival. However, Xiong Huiyi received a forewarning from Teacher in a dream, and this enabled him to evade recapture. Currently, the Police Department of Pengzhou City is searching for him all over the city and in nearby regions.
  8. You Quanfu, male, 30 years old, is a resident of Tianpeng town, Pengzhou City. In February 2000, he was sentenced to forced labor reeducation after going to Beijing to appeal. After being released from forced labor reeducation, he was sent to a mental hospital for over 20 days by the local police. On the third day of the first lunar month of 2001 (January 27, 2001), the local police once again detained You Quanfu. This time he was sent to the temporary house of detention for two months without any reason. You Quanfu's entire family suffered because of the evil persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. When they were escorting You Quanfu to the transfer post in Chengdu, the police seized his bank deposit card and compelled him to give out his PIN number. You's wife, Yang Hui, his eldest sister, youngest sister, second eldest brother and his second eldest brother's wife all were sentenced to forced labor reeducation. The second eldest brother was detained for no reason. His second eldest brother's wife, Xiao Danfeng, was detained for distributing Falun Dafa materials. Without parents to look after him, You's 4-year-old son tragically electrocuted himself in a refrigerator-related accident. After the local police failed in their attempt to extort 5,000 Yuan RMB from You's second eldest brother, they became angry out of shame and put Xiao Danfeng into a labor camp. Now You Quanfu, Xiong Huiyi and Qian Bangyou want to formally proclaim to the wicked people that all the materials of "reform" (the letter of repentance, guarantee, etc., written by them under pressure to show that they have been 'reformed') they wrote in Dayan labor camp of Ziyang are invalid.
  9. Yang Hui, Liu Bangxiu and Xie Kaihua were what the vicious people called "already reformed" persons, but after they were released to their homes, the persecution did not end. In the first lunar month of 2001, they were put into the temporary house of detention and persecuted by the Pengzhou police.
  10. Bai Daiyu, female, 50 years old, is a teacher of Longfeng elementary school in Pengzhou city. After she studied Falun Dafa, she guided Zhao Yun, who had an incurable disease at that time, to cultivate Dafa. After practicing Dafa for one month, Zhao Yun completely recovered. This fact greatly shocked all the teachers and students of the school. Even though the teachers cultivating Dafa are paragons of virtue and learning, the wicked force would not leave them alone. In January 2000, while Bai Daiyu was detained at the town government building, she was punished by being forced to stand in one place. Several wicked police and government officials chatted in obscene and indecent language near her. Upon hearing this, Bai Daiyu corrected them by saying, "You are the law enforcement personnel of the government. You represent the party and the government. Therefore you should not say these nasty and indecent words here." Because of these few words, Bai Daiyu incurred brutal beatings from the police. They scolded her while beating her up, "I will specifically beat you practitioners who are good people. I will kill you, the teacher who teaches people to become better... Nobody will redress the injustice if I beat you to death." The vicious police tortured teacher Bai until midnight. In the end, the principal of the school could not bear watching it and brought Bai Daiyu home. One wicked policeman of the local police station illegally ransacked Bai's home many times. Bai Daiyu was also fined 3,000 Yuan even though she only receives 200 Yuan each month to cover her living expenses. Her daughter won't even receive a job after she graduates from the university. The wicked people even intimidate Bai Daiyu's husband and they monitor her activities.
  11. Dai Liqing, female, over 50 years old, is a resident of Longfeng town, Pengzhou City. Dai Liqing miraculously recovered from 8 incurable diseases after cultivating Falun Dafa. The personnel of the town government called her in to their office. They forced her to acknowledge some charges because of cultivating Falun Dafa. She was beaten so severely that there were wounds all over her body. She still has the bloodstained clothing. The wicked people also stole 3,000 Yuan from her.
  12. Liu Jiyu, Zhou Guanghua and Yong Xiangui are Falun Dafa practitioners from Aoping town, Pengzhou City. On July 10, 2000, the personnel of the town government called them in to the office. The officials beat them savagely without caring about right and wrong. They whipped practitioners' arms with bamboo strips, which were about the diameter of a finger. Every day the vicious people tortured the practitioners like this. Every market day the vicious people paraded the practitioners through streets to publicly embarrass them. They even ordered the practitioners to kneel on grit that was hot from being exposed to strong sunlight. The practitioners were not released until July 30.
  13. Dafa practitioner Hu from Lichun town is over 60 years old. She went to Beijing to appeal on January 24, 2000. While she was detained at the local government office in Beijing, two ruffians hired by section Chief Yang of Chengdu police station kicked the lower part of her body until she would not stop bleeding. They beat her face until it became black and purple. Despite her old age, which should command respect, she was brutally beaten by wicked people.
Some people of the municipal public security bureau and the local government of Pengzhou city have already become Jiang Zemin's faithful accomplices by implementing Jiang's policy of "economically break down, physically devastate, and mentally torture" Falun Gong practitioners. The wicked people extorted money ranging from several hundred Yuan to several thousand or even several tens of thousands Yuan from the Falun Gong practitioners in Pengzhou. One practitioner from Lichun town estimates that the wealth plundered from the Falun Gong practitioners in Lichun town alone reaches several hundred thousand Yuan. For instance, in July 2000, practitioner Zhang Fuqi from Huanghe Village of Lichun Town was fined 7,000 Yuan because he replied that he would persist in cultivating Falun Gong. This money was taken without ever giving a receipt. The vicious people in Pengzhou city also went through the judicial procedure to sentence nearly 20 Falun Gong practitioners to forced labor reeducation. However, they ignored judicial procedure for nearly one thousand Falun Gong practitioners. Practitioners were put in houses of detention and local police stations, without any judicial procedure whatsoever. Those persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners from the municipal public security bureau of Pengzhou City, headed by Political Security Section Chief Tang Shiyou, police officer Wu Youde, secretary of the politics and law committee of Pengzhou City Dong, committed dreadful crimes against Falun Dafa practitioners in Pengzhou city out of greed. These atrocities fully expose Jiang Zemin's evil nature. All kind people are condemning Jiang Zemin at teahouses, at taverns and wherever people congregate. The Falun Dafa practitioners in Pengzhou City appeal to all these kind people and to all good people in the world to help stop the evil persecution in Pengzhou City. They also earnestly request the United Nations Human Rights Commission to come to Pengzhou City and discover the truth about the so-called "best time" of human rights claimed by Jiang Zemin.
[Qidong County, Hunan Province] Authority Cruelly Persecutes Falun Dafa Practitioners Beginning on July 20, 2000, the police of Qidong County, Hunan Province have cruelly persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners who mailed out truth-clarifying materials and appealed in Beijing. Some practitioners were injured while being beaten, some were detained for extended periods of time, some were heavily fined, and some practitioners had their homes ransacked. After January 1, 2001, the persecution escalated. At present, all detained practitioners have been placed in complete isolation; they are forbidden to meet with anyone and all information about them is blocked. The general secretary of the party committee Dai Tingyong and county chief Cai Duncheng supervised and personally led the persecution. The following is what is currently know about some of the practitioners being persecuted: Zhou Jianping: female, 40 years old. In November 2000, she wrote letters to public security departments asking for the release of detained innocent practitioners. The police traced her whereabouts and took her to the detention center where two policemen beat her continuously for 5 hours. Afterwards, her body was covered in wounds, she couldn't move, and was carried back to the cell. She is still detained in isolation. Shi Jinhua: female, 57 years old. Policemen of Baidishi Town police station in Qidong County broke one of her arms because she went to Beijing to appeal and distributed Falun Dafa materials. Tan Jinfang: female, 46 years old. She was detained for a long time for persevering in practicing Falun Dafa and appealing in Beijing. During one interrogation, the policemen smeared manure on her face and poured manure and urine on her bed as further abuse. Zhou Fengfang: female, 50 years old. In September 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal and was arrested and escorted back to Qidong. Before releasing her, the police broke her knees to prevent her from going to appeal again. Kuang Cheng: male, 44 years old. He was sentenced to 2 years of forced labor for appealing twice last year in Beijing Zhang Xianshou: male, 57 years. He went to Beijing to appeal in July 2000. After being escorted back to Qidong, the police beat him up for 4 hours. Recently he has been sentenced to 2 years of forced labor. Li Yanxiu: female, 41 years old. On December 26, 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal. On January 4, 2001, she was arrested and escorted back to Qidong to be detained. No one is allowed to visit her. Her house was ransacked, the doors broken, and grains were taken. The details of her persecution in the detention center are still not known. Xiao Shugui: female, 38 years old. She practiced Falun Dafa for only 4 months. She went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa on December 28, 2000. She was arrested and detained in Qidong; her house was ransacked. The details of her persecution inside the detention center are still not known. Tan Fusheng and Tan Dejian: arrested while planning to appeal in Beijing. They were detained in the county detention center. No visitors are allowed to see them, and we do not know what is happening to them in the detention center. Wang Dongmei: female, 32 years old. She went to Beijing to appeal on December 28 2000. On January 4, 2001, she was arrested and escorted back to Qidong. She was also isolated from the outside world, so we do not know the details of her persecution. Yan Bin: male, 24 years old. He has been detained for an unlimited term in the county detention center; he is monitored by criminal inmates. Wang Lanhua, female, 18 years old, went to Beijing with Wang Dongmei. We have yet to learn information about her situation. Besides the above-mentioned practitioners, there are a few other practitioners who have been to Beijing to appeal and have since been missing. We do not know what torture and abuse they have received. Insiders say that the persecution against practitioners who appeal in Beijing or distribute truth-clarifying materials will be escalated and the authority will take more preventive measures. The first measure is a heavy fine, the second is to completely cut-off of connections between detained practitioners and practitioners outside, and the third is the so-called forced "transformation" for 1 to 3 months. The transformation will be further extended for those who refuse to be reformed. All kind-hearted people with conscience and practitioners all over the world please express your support and eliminate the wickedness. Those responsible for the local crackdown: Dai Tingyong: party general secretary, who led the persecution against practitioners. His cell phone is: 86-139-7430266 and 86-139-07476122. Cai Duncheng: county chief, who led the persecution against practitioners. His cell phone is 86-139-7470-8699. Zhang Demin: the chief of police station in the west district of the county city. He is the one who persecutes Falun Dafa practitioners. Cell phone number: 86-137-0747-5290. Li Wei is the policeman of Political Security Section of County Police Department. He is one of the criminals who persecutes practitioners. Home phone number 86-734-6266465. The Political Security Section Director named He is a major criminal who persecutes practitioners.
