[Langfang City, Hebei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Cui Yulan and One
Other Unknown Practitioner Are Tortured to Death in Langfang City
Falun Dafa practitioner Cui Yulan and another unknown practitioner were
tortured to death over 2 months ago in Langfang city, Hebei province. The
details of their deaths are not yet known. Falun Dafa practitioners who have
access to the Internet were kidnapped before they could send out information
about these 2 death cases. We appeal to international human rights organizations
to pay attention to this matter.
[Liaoning Province] An Appeal to Send Forth Righteous Thoughts to Rescue
Fellow Practitioners on Hunger Strike in Masanjia Labor Camp
Over 130 Falun Dafa practitioners illegally held in Masanjia Labor Camp have
taken part in a group hunger strike (for over 10 days so far) [as of today,
over 19 days -- ed.]. They demand the unconditional release of all Falun
Dafa practitioners, including those practitioners who are held in custody beyond
their jail terms, to restore justice to Falun Dafa, to restore the reputation of
the founder of Falun Gong, and to stop the brutal persecution. One other source
has reported that in the hospital located beneath Dabei Prison in Shenyang
province, over 10 female Falun Dafa practitioners have been on a hunger strike
for an extended period of time. These female practitioners are in extremely weak
conditions, and their lives are in imminent danger.
[Henan Province] A Heart of Kindness That Shakes the Heavens and the Earth
A Falun Dafa practitioner in Henan province had left a volume of Zhuan
Falun with an elderly lady before being arrested by the police. Later on,
the elderly lady became afraid that the police had found out about the book, yet
she knew that Falun Dafa is good and she was unwilling to turn in the book. Her
family members then buried the book in a huge pile of earth in the yard. Those
days, the weather indicated that it could rain anytime. The elderly lady was
extremely worried when she couldn't find the book, "Please don't rain no
matter what. This is a book to be cherished, and it can't be destroyed out in
the yard." Finally, it started to rain in nearby areas. However, it didn't
rain in this area until 9 days later when the practitioner was released and had
retrieved the book.
[Shanghai] Urgent Appeal from Shanghai Falun Dafa Practitioners: Send Forth
Righteous Thoughts Together to Eliminate the Evil
According to reliable sources, as the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic
Co-operation) Summit is to be held in Shanghai this October, the "610"
Office (specifically established to persecute Falun Gong) in Shanghai has
secret plans to illegally round up a large number of Falun Dafa practitioners
and send them to brainwashing classes. This campaign is to be carried out in the
name of "security" and in coordination with a round of large-scale
nationwide brainwashing classes. So far three sessions of brainwashing classes
have been held in suburban Qingpu County, where several dozen Falun Dafa
practitioners are being illegally held in custody. There are also over 100
female practitioners who have been illegally sent to a women's labor camp. The
number of male practitioners sent to forced "labor through
re-education" camps is not known.
[China] Converging into the Mighty Torrent of Fa-Rectification
In today's process of Fa-rectification, we are constantly moved by the
unselfish benevolence of Falun Dafa practitioners who follow the benevolent
teachings of our Master.
A while back, due to the interference by those who had
"enlightened" along an evil path, great damage had been done to our
local Falun Dafa work. All of a sudden, our source of truth-clarifying materials
was cut off, our financial situation was quite difficult, and the work to
clarify the truth came to a halt. When a practitioner who participated in
clarifying the truth learned that there was no more money that could be spent to
put together materials, he decided to sell his blood in order for the Dafa work
to continue. (Due to the persecution he has gone through, this practitioner has
lost everything at home.) Later on, as funds became available, he was persuaded
not to do so, yet his genuineness moved us to tears. At the same time, it made
those of us who didn't do as well, who waited passively and expected external
changes, feel ashamed. Our Teacher has said, "So in clarifying the truth,
don't wait, don't rely on others, and don't just hope for changes in external
factors." (Quoted from Teacher's recent article To All Students at the
Nordic Fa Conference.) If each and every Falun Dafa practitioner can develop
this sincere heart, then more people who have been misled by lies can be saved.
[Zhoukou City, Henan Province] Huaiyang County Police Raid and Plunder Homes,
Shoot at Falun Dafa Practitioners
On July 21, 2001 at 6 pm, the chief of police, Ren Wei, of the Huaiyang
County Police Station of Henan Province, Zhukou City, led a raid on Falun Dafa
practitioner Zhang Li's home. At the time of the raid, no one was home except
for a neighbor's child. Ren Wei and his officers broke into Zhang Li's home
without a warrant and smashed the furniture, all the while dispersing the
onlookers. They "confiscated" 1700 Yuan in cash, which was the
family's entire savings. Zhang Li became destitute and homeless. At a later
date, Zhang Li's spouse asked Ren Wei for their money back, but Ren Wei
categorically denied that he had taken any money.
In June 2001, chief of police Wang Wanzhong of the Zhuji township in Huaiyang
County forced the wife of Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Ji to remain on a farm for
four days. Although she was not incarcerated, she did not dare go home. Wang
Wanzhong led a search party to find her. When they tracked her down, they beat
her mercilessly, then took her to the local detention center. Because her
injuries were so severe, the detention center refused to accept her. Wang feared
that because of their refusal to accept her, he would be unable to report his
deed as an accomplishment, so he resorted to giving the detention center a sum
of money as a bribe in hopes that they would cooperate with his criminality. The
situation of Liu Ji's wife at present is unclear.
In June 2001, the Huaiyang County police, along with the Zhoukou municipal
police, armed themselves with guns to track down Falun Dafa practitioners who
distributed Dafa materials in the countryside. Upon arriving at a farm, they
suddenly fired upon three Falun Dafa practitioners. They also came to a Falun
Dafa practitioner's home to arrest him. Seeing that the police were taking away
good people, the local residents surrounded the police vehicle to prevent the
police from taking these practitioners away, asserting that they were innocent.
But acting maliciously, the police again suddenly fired their guns to threaten
the people in order to achieve their misdeeds.
Since July 20, 1999, in Huaiyang County of Henan Province, Falun Dafa
practitioners have been illegally arrested over and over again. The total of
fines collected alone have reached 3 million Yuan RMB. The local Falun Dafa
practitioners have been living in difficulty and many of them are penniless and
homeless. Some have even depended on the generosity of others to be able to eat.
The overwhelming majority of the crimes were committed by Huaiyang County police
station chief Ren Wei. In June and July 2001, Huaiyang County police again
illegally arrested more than 100 Falun Dafa practitioners.
[Suizhou City, Hubei Province] With Righteous Thoughts, Falun Dafa
Practitioner Escapes from Danger
On August 12, Suizhou City of Hubei Province, Falun Dafa practitioner Jiang
Zhiyong escaped from illegal detention and walked out openly and in an upright
manner. For the previous several days, he had been continuously detained at a
guesthouse in Suizhou City. The police interrogated him day and night about a
list of practitioners who access the Internet and about two other practitioners'
whereabouts. In the end, they were not able to get anything from the
interrogation. Jiang Zhiyong sent forth the righteous thought, "I must get
out. Teacher, please help me." On August 12, the guard fell asleep, and the
driver and other persons in the outside hall did not notice him. Jiang Zhiyong
then walked out of the guesthouse.
[Wuchang City, Hubei Province] Elderly Falun Dafa Practitioner from Hogshan
is Suspected to Have Been Kidnapped by Police
Ms. Song, a Falun Dafa practitioner from the former Wuchang Hongshan practice
site, is now 65 years old. She has been missing ever since she went to East Lake
on August 2, and her whereabouts are still unclear even now. Whoever knows of
her situation, please be alert to her whereabouts, and in the mean time, please
send forth righteous thoughts to eradicate the evil.
[Changchun, Jilin Province] The Evil Force Intensifies its Effort to Block
Internet Access in Changchun Area
Recently, the computer network blockade in the Changchun area has been
further intensified. Many practitioners' access to the Internet has been
blocked, causing difficulties with sending out emails. In some cases they have
even received suspicious transmissions. People from all walks of life, please
take note of this situation.
[Haikou City, Hainan Province] Police Scheme to Hunt Down and Arrest Falun
Dafa Practitioners Who Are Destitute and Homeless
Haikou City has launched an initiative to clean up and reorganize their
rental homes and normalize the management of the floating population in the
entire city from August 5 to September 30. During the comprehensive clean-up
stage from August 10 to September 10, the police department will visit every
village, street, household, and apartment, to find out which homes are rentals,
the background of the renters, as well as their registration and identification
information.
This initiative is a part of Haikou City's attempt to strictly control their
inhabitants under the banner of "severe strike," and is also a scheme
of the evil force to persecute Falun Gong practitioners who are homeless. We
suggest Haikou practitioners stop and eradicate the evil force with their
righteous thoughts.
[Jining City, Shandong Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Illegally Arrested
On July 17, having prepared for an unlawful sting operation by secretly
following and tracking the movements of practitioners, the wicked police
simultaneously arrested several Falun Dafa practitioners at their homes.
Practitioners Gao Cuixiang, Wu Jing, Chen Deai and others were captured and
their computers and printers were confiscated. In trying to escape from the evil
force, Gao Cuixiang suffered a serious injury, with several wounds requiring
stitches. Nevertheless, she was still illegally sent to a labor camp. A total of
nine Falun Dafa practitioners from Zoucheng City were arrested and had their
properties confiscated. Two Falun Dafa practitioners and their child were forced
into becoming destitute and homeless.
[Liuhe County, Jilin Province] County Officials Persecute Dafa Practitioners
The government of Liuhe County has used all kinds of base means to persecute
Dafa practitioners. They illegally arrest steadfast Dafa practitioners, force
them to write guarantee letters giving up practicing Falun Gong, and extort
money, including money for bail of 3000 to 5000 Yuan (half of an average yearly
income) from practitioners' families. They have even asked for 200 Yuan for a
quilt used during a period when they unlawfully detained practitioners. It has
become impossible to distinguish a government official from a criminal. When
practitioners refuse to cooperate with these unlawful officers they are sent
directly to labor camps. These practitioners and their families suffer deeply
under these circumstances.
Reprehensible police officers even go around the County arresting
practitioners who wander around homeless, using both physical and psychological
means to force them to give up their practice and belief in Falun Dafa.
Officials have illegally ransacked homes and penalized practitioners using
torture. Once they sent over 30 practitioners to a labor camp, forcing many
families to be torn apart.
Recently, once again, police went haywire arresting Dafa practitioners.

[Yantai City, Shandong Province] Rampant Arrest of Falun Gong Practitioners
Patrolling policemen from Yantai Police Station illegally arrested
practitioner Zhan Chenggong on June 10, 2001. He is now detained in the Zifu
District Detention Center in Yantai City. The policemen of Department 1 of Zifu
Police Station saw the injuries on his legs from torture during his last
detention, so they beat him even harder this time. To protest the illegal
detention and brutality, he has been on a hunger strike for over ten days. Zifu
Police Station is still using different excuses to extend his detention term. We
ask practitioners to send out your righteous thoughts to eliminate evil when you
see this message.
The authorities of Zifu District Yantai City have recently made many rampant
arrests of Falun Gong practitioners. They have arrested all the practitioners
that they know are practicing Falun Gong at home. They have detained them in
Wangchun Forced Labor Camp which is a very wicked and evil place for persecuting
practitioners.

[Tai'an City, Shandong Province] Police Secretly Arrest a Falun Dafa
Practitioner
On June 9, 2001, practitioner Wang Yu (pseudonym) was arrested in Tai'an
city. Since then, we haven't had any information about him. We hope that
kindhearted people will be aware of this matter.
[Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] More People Are Awakening
One day, my cousin told me that many Falun Dafa flyers were posted in
secluded places around Shenyang City. He said those flyers said words against
Jiang Zemin. I immediately corrected him by saying that it wasn't only the
secluded places that had flyers, but also crowded streets and even government
buildings had flyers posted. It was just that in the populated places the police
tore them off so that people wouldn't see them. I explained that the flyers are
not slandering Jiang Zemin. They only speak out the truth. Two days later, to
let him know more and cleanse the poisonous lies, I showed him a program on VCD
called "The Truth of the Self-immolation Incident". My cousin felt it
was very good and also thought that the analysis in the program was reasonable.
He said the truth was nothing like the propaganda .
Actually, after "7.20" (On July 20 1999, the Chinese Government
began to persecute Falun Gong), my cousin told me that he knew some people who
practiced Falun Gong and that they were all very good and rational people. Upon
hearing this, my heart felt very happy for those lives, such as my cousin's,
that were being saved.
