"Clarify the truth thoroughly, eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts, save all beings, and safeguard the Fa with determination" (Dafa is Indestructible) Latest News From China -- 07/27/2001
(Clearwisdom.net)
The central government has recently retracted all twenty-one secret orders
issued this year regarding the persecution of Falun Gong. New orders are to be
given orally. Jiang Zemin and his associates seem to be trying to keep open a
path of retreat while making a desperate struggle. They appear to be
distancing themselves from the responsibility of committing unforgivable
crimes against Falun Dafa practitioners.
The Beijing Labor Committee has recently given orders to put practitioners
working for the city government into a brainwashing class. They are using
people who once practiced Falun Gong but have gone astray to spread their
false understandings to practitioners. In the brainwashing class, they try to
break the practitioners' righteous beliefs by involving them in a variety of
activities and leaving them no time to think. Often several people surround
one practitioner to give him lectures.
According to sources, this type of brainwashing class will spread to other
provinces, the first being Hebei Province. Some practitioners who are
municipal workers have already been sent to the brainwashing class.
At around 7:30 PM on July 21, a practitioner in Northern China was at home
when policemen suddenly pounded at his door frantically. Seeing that nobody
was opening the door, they tried to pry it open. The practitioner inside
remained calm. He picked up his cell phone and called other practitioners,
asking them to send out righteous thoughts together to eliminate the evil.
After receiving his call, five practitioners sat down in the lotus position
and sent forth righteous thoughts. Meanwhile, the practitioner climbed out of
his apartment through the window and got to the ground by stepping on
air-conditioners and shades mounted on the wall. The practitioner was
discovered when he reached the ground, but he quickly hailed a cab and got
away.
As the Fa-rectification progresses, the evil is putting up a final
struggle, adding rapidly to the death toll of more than 250 practitioners.
Many practitioners have realized that we should step up our efforts in
clarifying the truth to the people and offering them salvation, thus assisting
Teacher in this world. Many practitioners went to Beijing to appeal for Falun
Dafa in July and came back safely. Recently, practitioners in a city in
Northeast China have successfully held around twenty experience-sharing
meetings, each with more than twenty participants. Many practitioners realize
that as long as the evil has not been eliminated, more and more people will go
to Tiananmen Square. We are committed to going there until all of the evil has
been eliminated.
My name is Qi Lanqin. I am a male practitioner in Yuanshi County, Hebei
Province. I have been detained many times since July of 1999, most recently on
the evening of December 5, 2000. More than ten policemen broke into my home,
led by Su Chunxu (the Director of the Politics and Security Office in the
county), Liu Zhenfang, and Dong Wenyi (the local police chief). They searched
my house but found nothing. Even so, they confiscated my motorcycle. My son
tried to argue with them, and he was punched and kicked.
They took me to the county police department and forced me to spread my
arms to the side, handcuffing them to two pipes outdoors. Six policemen took
turns watching and torturing me. Their beatings and the cold made my legs
become numb and swollen, and I lost feeling in my arm also. Later, I decided
that I would not tolerate this and had to leave. I escaped at about midnight
on December 8, 2000.
My wife was arrested last September for distributing flyers, and she is
still detained, leaving my two children home alone. I cannot go home either,
so my children are still unattended. The police have promised a 30,000 Yuan
reward [Note: Yuan, Chinese dollar, the average monthly income of an urban
worker is 500 Yuan.] for my arrest. They have been to my home many times
to check for my presence.
The officials and police in Yuanshi County have been persecuting
practitioners without restraint. Currently, there are still more than forty
practitioners being held in the detention center. Some of them went to Beijing
to appeal for Falun Gong, but most of them were deceived into going to the
police station. The number of practitioners detained reached as high as eighty
during the Chinese Lunar New Year period, and they were held without any legal
documents. There are practitioners who have been detained ever since they went
to Beijing to appeal in July of 2000. Their family members are not allowed to
see them without approval from the Secretary of the Political and Legal
Committee, Sun Chenyan. Though the police released some practitioners in April
and May, they had to turn in a certain amount of money as bail. Some
practitioners were sentenced to labor camp, such as Yan Zhilan (3 years), Yu
Baoyi (2 years), and Xu Jincai (3 years). It is rumored that more
practitioners will be sent to labor camps in the future.

Chinese News Net reported from Beijing that at around 10:30 AM on July 24, a
fire started at the staff cafeteria located near the back entrance of Lanzhou
University. The fire burned down over 500 square meters (approx. 5,400 square
feet) of the building. The entire cafeteria was destroyed, leaving just a
"skeleton" of the building.
The chief of the Fire Department in Lanzhou pointed out that Lanzhou
University has had five such accidents already, and that they were not able to
explain the cause of the fires.
Tan Xiaorong and other five Dafa practitioners of Lanzhou University are
still being held at the Xiguoyuan Detention Center. It is speculated that they
will either be sent to labor camp or prison. Wang Hongmei was detained by the
University and sent to brainwashing classes. This has brought her parents, child
and husband a great deal of stress and pain. We ask the Secretary and President
of the University, police officers and other responsible parties to stop
persecuting Dafa practitioners. Otherwise, retribution in the form of greater
disasters could take place.
According to eyewitnesses, police arrested four more Dafa practitioners in
Dehui at around 7:20 am on July 16, 2001. They confiscated one computer and one
printer. In addition, these practitioners at the time carried individually 2,000
Yuan, 1,500 Yuan and around 800 Yuan in cash, mobile phones and pagers. No one
knows these practitioners' whereabouts. There are indications that this arrest
took place because one of the practitioners was followed.
Zhuo Ya, a female Dafa practitioner in Xinjiang, is an instructor at the
Xinjiang Chinese Medicine Institute. She once walked through the Gobi Desert on
foot, passed through the city of Wulumuqi and went on to Beijing to appeal. She
has been arrested a number of times. Approximately six months ago, she was
detained again and recently sentenced to three years in labor camp. Her family
does not know her current whereabouts.
At around 5:00 AM on April 30, 2001, a Dafa practitioner and one of her
family members from the Mingxingouli District were doing stretches in the
backyard before breakfast. A policeman from the Huantong Police Sub-station
spotted them. He accused the elderly woman of practicing Falun Gong exercises
and took her away by force. She was sent to Changliu Detention Center for 15
days, after which the officials there demanded 3,000 Yuan from the practitioner
before they would release her. The practitioner had no money to give. As a
result, the Huantong Police Sub-station submitted a request to the Dongchan
Public Security Bureau to sentence the elderly woman to one year in a labor
camp. This elderly woman and a dozen other female practitioners from Tonghua
were sent to the Heizhuizi Labor Camp in Changchun. Posting date: 8/2/2001
