[Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Dafa Practitioner He Yuanchao and Other
Practitioners that have been Kidnapped Need Urgent Rescue
Late at night on December 21, 2001, eleven practitioners from Chengdu City
were secretly arrested in five different places. Practitioner He Yuanchao fell
from the third floor of a building when he was arrested. He suffered multiple
fractures and was severely injured. Now he is receiving medical treatment and
being monitored by policemen in Chengdu City's No.416 Hospital. Because He
Yuanchao has been on a hunger strike for 25 days to protest the vicious
persecution, his life is in extreme danger. To all Dafa practitioners around the
world: please give urgent help.
He Yuanchao is in the No.37 ward, 7th floor of the In-patient Building,
Chengdu City's No. 416 Hospital
Doctors in charge of the case: Doctor Huang and Fan
Orthopaedic Surgery Department: 011-86-28-2991292

According to related news, six of the eleven practitioners were secretly
detained in Pujiang County's Detention Center of Chengdu City. They are Jiang
Yunhong, Mr. Chen, Mr. Yin, Zhu Li (female), and two other practitioners whose
names are unknown. Jiang Yunhong had been on a hunger strike and also refused to
drink any water. He was very weak. He was taken in and out of his cell several
times. On January 11, 2002, he was again taken out but never returned. The other
three practitioners on hunger strike were transferred to some other places for
detention. Their situations are unclear.
[China] A True Story
Recently, local police crazily arrested practitioners who made and
distributed Dafa truth-clarifying literature. Three practitioners in our Dafa
truth-clarifying material group were detained. One of them was very determined
and did not say a word even though the abusive policemen beat her to the point
of unconsciousness. Because she worried about the only remaining practitioner
who was making the truth-clarifying materials, her main spirit flew back to the
place where they made the materials after she was beaten unconscious. After she
saw the practitioner copying truth-clarifying materials, her spirit happily came
back to her body. After she woke up, she asked a practitioner who would be
released to tell the practitioner who was making truth-clarifying materials,
"Ask her to keep on. I will come back to help her."
When I heard the story, I was very touched. Many practitioners are saving
people, and safeguarding the truth and Dafa with their lives.
[Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Practitioners Celebrate the Spring Festival
During the last Spring Festival, many determined Falun Gong practitioners
were detained in a brainwashing class in Xiaobali Village, Fengrun County of
Tangshan City. The wardens bought many firecrackers to prepare for the Spring
Festival. Practitioners planned to celebrate the Spring Festival in their own
way. So they took a red silk bedcover and made a banner from it. They
embroidered "Falun Dafa is Good" on it with yellow thread. On New
Year's Day [in the Chinese lunar calendar], the wardens ordered
practitioners to clean the floor. After the practitioners finished, they posted
the brilliant banner onto a police car. All practitioners solemnly stood on both
sides of the banner. When the director came out and saw the banner, he was first
stunned and then said, "Wonderful!" He continued, "Who did
it?" Then he answered to himself, "It must be someone from the outside
that brought it in." Practitioners cheerfully told him, "We made
it." Then the wardens all came up to grab the banner. Practitioners tried
their best to protect the banner, and held out for about half an hour.
Eventually the banner was forcibly taken away. But the wardens did not punish
the practitioners for that. Practitioners celebrated their New Year's Day in
their own way.
[China] A Teacher with a Sense of Justice
One morning, a student saw a Dafa banner, clarifying the truth and saving
people, on the way to school. He took it down and turned it in to his school.
The teacher in charge of the class happened to see this. In class, he seriously
told his students that no one should do this again because it is a bad deed.
This teacher was able to discern good from evil and saved his
deceived students.
[Tianjin] Police Illegally Detain a College Student from the Construction and
Engineering School of Tianjin University
In the middle of November 2001, Gao Jian, a student enrolled in the
Construction and Engineering School of Tianjin University in 1998, picked up a
Dafa truth-clarifying flyer and then went to make copies from it. Unfortunately
he was reported. Police from Tianjin's Nankai Police Station illegally detained
Gao Jian for over a month and then put him into two years of forced labor. The
leaders of Tianjin University refused to meet with Gao Jian's parents and
complied with the persecution of the student.
[Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province] Crime Records of Policemen in Local
Police Department
When Xing Huimin from Xingongdi Police Station transferred practitioner Cui
Duofan to No.2 Detention Center, he took all of the practitioner's money.
Other practitioners also met with a similar fate. Policemen arrested
practitioners for no apparent reason. They extorted 1,000 to 3,000 Yuan [500
Yuan is average monthly income in urban area of China] from the
practitioners' families using all kinds of excuses. However, they never
provided any receipts. The Tiefeng Police Department ordered Xingongdi Police
Station to extort 10,000 Yuan from practitioners' families.
Police will not close the cases for those practitioners who have been
detained since September 2001. According to the law, the detention could not
exceed 37 days.
The policemen brazenly detain practitioners past their detention terms.
They made a fortune by ransacking practitioners' family members' belongings.
If a practitioner's family turns in the money, the practitioner will be
released. Those who do not have money will be detained for an extended
period of time. Personnel of the "610 Office" [An agency
specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each
level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary
systems] also took this opportunity to make money. Even some people who
do not practice Falun Gong were detained. The policemen disregard the law
and detain innocent people at will. They do not admit that they are wrong
even when they arrest the wrong person. On the contrary, they always try to
extort the wealth from the family members of those they arrest.
[Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Police Officers Crazily Arrest Practitioners
Recently, policemen from Hebei Province came to Tangshan City to begin a
campaign of arresting practitioners who had made and delivered Dafa
truth-clarifying literature. The policemen made use of those people who went on
an evil path [former practitioners who have renounced Dafa after being
successfully brainwashed] to trap practitioners. They also sent out secret
agents masquerading as practitioners to entrap practitioners. They tried all
kinds of despicable means, such as tapping the telephones and paging the
practitioners. They tried to stop us from exposing the evil and clarifying the
truth.
[Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Dalian Detention Center Authorities
Illegally Detain Practitioners After their Detention Terms Have Expired
Many practitioners were illegally detained at the Dalian Detention Center
after their detention terms had expired. Around the Spring Festival, enforcers
from the "610 Office" of this city colluded with all functionary
departments to plot illegal trials for a group of practitioners.[The
"610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun
Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all
other political and judiciary systems].
[Northeast China] Righteous Thoughts Bring Out Divine Powers
The environment at a certain forced labor camp in Northeast China was
extremely bad, and a group of practitioners with firm belief in Dafa were
unlawfully imprisoned there. They suffered all kinds of tortures, but never gave
up. No matter what kind of excruciating methods the policemen used, the
practitioners always held righteous thoughts. The police authorities blocked all
information channels and planned to isolate the practitioners from the outside.
With Master's help, however, two practitioners' divine powers appeared. The
practitioners could see every new article of Master's in their minds. All the
evil's plots failed. This also has validated that the practitioners are
indestructible.
[Baise City, Guangxi Province] Police Personnel Kidnap Another Five
Practitioners
On January 8, 2001, informers from the Food Market Security Division reported
to the authorities five practitioners who were clarifying the truth to their
fellow citizens in Baise City, Guangxi Province. The practitioners are: Huang,
Aunty Yang, Aunty Liang, Aunty Liang and Sis Liang. [The term
"Aunty" denotes a favorite, kind elderly neighborhood woman who is not
a relative of the people around her. "Sis" is the name for another
respected, younger neighborhood woman, also not a relative of those around her].
Then people from the Xinxing Police Department, Baise City called out all the
policemen to kidnap these five practitioners.
Now all five practitioners are illegally detained at the Baise Detention
Center.

[China] My Persecution Experience
I'm a female practitioner. Since 1999, I appealed twice for Dafa in Beijing.
I was arrested and held at a detention center located at the west side of
Beijing, where I was locked up in solitary confinement for seven days.
Afterwards I was sent back to the local detention center. The other four
practitioners and I were stripped of all our clothes and forced to kneel down on
the icy ground, with both of our arms tied up straight. Then the policeman used
wooden sticks to lash our bodies. Furthermore, they locked us in the dirtiest
cell in the male prison. They lashed us whenever they found us reciting Master's
articles. We have never given up because we firmly believe in Dafa . After one
month of incarceration at the detention center, I was sentenced to one year of
forced labor and transferred to another detention center, all without due
process of law. After more than four months, I was transferred to the Baimalong
Forced Labor Camp of Hunan Province. I continued practicing Dafa daily in that
forced labor camp. Once when they found me practicing, the police guards hung me
on the bed rail for more than two hours. The "cadres" dragged me to do
their exercises, but I didn't obey them. Instead, I sat on the ground to
meditate. They had to let go of me.
During this one year, after I went to Beijing to appeal and was imprisoned at
a forced labor camp, I suffered from tortures and my family had to pay a lot of
money. My husband was suspended from his job for about seven days and forced to
hand in 1,000 Yuan for "collecting and escorting fees," a ploy. Having
no choice, my husband had to borrow money. Furthermore, they forced my husband
to collect "escorting expenses" from the practitioners who went to
Beijing to appeal with me. Otherwise they would fine my family another 20,000 to
30,000 Yuan. Some practitioners were forced to forfeit their grain harvest or
their furniture. Some practitioners had almost nothing to be mortgaged. [The
approximate monthly income in urban China is 500 Yuan per month, but often less].
[Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province] Persecution Situation of
Dafa Practitioners (Continued.)
On June 29, 2000, Fan Xuwen from Yongjiu Village, Nongfeng Town of
Shuangcheng City, went to Beijing to peacefully appeal for Falun Gong. Policemen
at Tiananmen Square severely beat him. After he was escorted back to Shuangcheng
Detention Center, criminal prisoners beat him for more than two hours. Mr. Fan
was illegally detained for 26 days. Detention center authorities extorted 200
Yuan [the average monthly income in urban China is 500 Yuan]
from him for "meal fees." People from the Town and Village government
extorted another 1,500 Yuan from him after he was released. The people
responsible for extorting the money were Town Leader Qin Jialong, the Village
Secretary and Village, Head Qiao Shuqing.
On August 26, 2001, Mr. Fan went to Xingcheng Village where policemen
conducted a forced body search and arrested him. Because Mr. Fan was not willing
to go with them, the policemen beat him with their fists and kicked him and also
used electric batons to shock him, all the while cursing and threatening that
they would beat him to death. Mr. Fan was detained at the police station for 24
hours and was then sent to the Shuangcheng Detention Center for 16 days of
illegal detention. The center authorities extorted 120 Yuan from him for
"meal fees." Xingcheng Village Secretary Wang Xintong extorted 500
Yuan, and Nongfeng Police Station Director Zhao Shibo extorted 1,000 Yuan from
him.

[Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Kidnapping of Dafa Practitioner
Luo Yanfen
On December 3, 2001, police enforcers from the Zhentou Police Station in
Qiaoxi District of Shijiazhuang City kidnapped an over 50-year-old female
practitioner by the name of Luo Yanfen. She is now illegally detained at
Shijiazhuang's No. 1 Detention Center. Before the kidnapping, Mrs. Luo had been
forced into homelessness to avoid the persecution.

[Chongqing City, Sichuan Province] Policemen Recklessly Damage the
Peace During the "Asian Peace Summit Conference"
Recently, during the "Asian Peace Summit Conference" held in
Chongqing, that city's police officers took the opportunity to recklessly arrest
Dafa practitioners. As was reported by the "Chongqing Evening
Newspaper," Chongqing police authorities increased their forces to 3,000
policemen to patrol the streets, and hundreds of plain-clothes policemen to do
inspections. Police cars could be seen at all major intersections. The whole
city was filled with terror. By now, many practitioners have been arrested and
many homes have been searched. Even the middle school students were not spared.
[Hubei Province] Dafa Practitioners are Illegally Put on Trial
On the morning of January 15, 2002, Wuchang District Court authorities
commenced an unlawful trial for practitioners Zhou Xiaojun and several others.
These practitioners have been illegally detained for more than a year.
[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Torture of Dafa
Practitioners
Before the New Year's Day of 2002, Dafa practitioners Jin Chenglong and Zhang
Yan were making Dafa truth-clarifying materials. Policemen from the Xiangfang
Police Station in Harbin City followed and arrested them. They are now detained
at Harbin's Xiangfang Police Station. In order to extort his confession, Mr. Jin
Chenglong has suffered the severest tortures. We hope practitioners at home and
abroad who see this message will send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the
evil factors that are persecuting Jin Chenglong and Zhang Yan, and use righteous
thoughts to empower them to get out of the police station.

[Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioner Zhang Yarong and Her
Husband Arrested; Their Home Illegally Searched
Around 8:00 p.m. on December 28, 2001, five police officers blocked
Zhang Yarong at the door of her apartment building as she was seeing off a
guest. The guest was forced back into Zhang Yarong's home and his/her bag was
searched. Some Dafa truth-clarifying flyers were found in the bag. Then these officers searched the entire home, arrested Zhang and her
husband and took them to the Lingan Police Station in Jinzhou City. The couple
was illegally detained and questioned under torture. They were held at the
Second Detention Center in Jinzhou for unknown reasons. Zhang's relatives
requested to have the couple released without admitting guilt. Zhang's
10-year-old daughter is left at home. No one is taking care of her. At the time
of the arrest, their daughter cried hard and asked the policemen, "What are
you doing? It's only been several days since my parents were just released! You
are taking them away again! What am I supposed to do?" The policemen
ignored her and took away her parents. Zhang Yarong has been on a hunger strike
for 5 days in order to be released.
Criminal persons responsible for these actions:
Lingan Police Station Director: Gao Xiaoping, 40 years old;
Jia Wenxiang, 40 years old; was also in the group of people who arrested the
couple and searched Zhang Yarong's home.
Notes: The plain-clothes officers were asked to show their
search warrant. They refused and claimed they, themselves, were the "search
warrant." They also slapped the guest's face and removed a video camera,
1,400 Yuan in cash and other private property.
[Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] Arrest Report of Several Dafa
Practitioners
Xu Jingang, male, 35 years old, is a former worker in the Daqing City Carpet
Factory. On the morning of December 29, 2001, three policemen from the Dongguang
Police Station headed by Yu Haibo arrested Mr. Xu while he was distributing Dafa
truth-clarifying literature and posting flyers. The ruffians also searched his
home and confiscated some Dafa truth-clarifying literature. He is now held at
the Longfeng Detention Center.
A plain-clothes police officer from the Zhanqian Police Station arrested He
Biao on the eve of the New Year's Day as Mr. He clarified the truth about Falun
Dafa and the persecution to passengers on the bus. He told the passengers that
Falun Dafa is warmly welcomed by people from countries all over the world. He is
now being held at the Longfeng Detention Center in Daqing City.
Zhao Yumei, who went to validate Dafa in Beijing before the New Year's Day,
is now being illegally held at Daqing City's Detention Center.
Liu Yanhua, who went to Beijing to validate Dafa in November 2001, is now
being illegally held at Daqing City's Detention Center and has been sentenced to
2 years of forced labor.
[Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Partial Accounts of Practitioners being
Illegally Held, Tortured and Extorted for Money
Wang Zhehao, male, 25 years old, is an employee at the Dalian Chemical Design
Institute. On July 22, 1999 he went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and
after being arrested was detained at the Dalian Detention Center for nearly a
month. After he went back to work in August, he was again arrested, this time
from his work place and detained for 25 days because dictator Jiang went to
Dalian City on an inspection tour. In October 2001, while watching TV at home,
police officers from the Wangyi Police Station arrested and detained him for 15
days with the trumped-up charge of "disturbing the social order."
Afterwards he was sent to a brainwashing class for more than 2 months. As he
refused to be brainwashed, he was sentenced to one year of forced labor.
Moreover, they extorted 10,000 Yuan from him. In April 2001, he was again
arrested for browsing the Internet. None of his family members knew about this
and they have not been allowed to see him. Nobody in his family knows about his
current situation. Policeman Chen Xin from Section No 3 of the First Division
from Dalian City's Police Department confiscated a computer, a printer, a mobile
phone, a bank passbook showing a deposit of 20,000 Yuan and a box of Dafa books
from his home. It's said Wang Zhehao was secretly sent to a certain forced labor
camp in Liaoning Province.
[Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province] Partial Account of Practitioners being
Illegally Held, Tortured and Extorted for Money
Tang Lijuan, female, 51 years old, is an employee and teaching assistant at
the Philosophy Research Office of Suihua City's Party School. On October 12,
1999 she went back to Dalian City for a vacation. At 8 or 9 p.m., while she was
watching TV at home, personnel from the Wangyi Police Station arrested her.
After being held at the police station for two days, she was sentenced to a
15-day detention term, on the trumped-up charge of "disturbing the social
order." After she had been released from the detention center, Wangyi
Police Station enforcers again held her for nearly a week. The perpetrator was
Wang Jing.
On November 6, 1999, people from her work unit went to Dalian to fetch her
back. She had to pay more than 5,300 Yuan for "transportation costs."
Since July 1999 she has been deprived of her job as teacher. She is now living
an uncertain life, because from July 2001 until now, the authorities have
suspended 16,000 Yuan from her salary. Her I.D. card has since been impounded.
[Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Take a Warning from this Incident
Recently, two more information/material centers were destroyed and several
fellow practitioners were arrested. The damage is heartbreaking.
It's said that the practitioners involved in this incident all more or less
had some problems, including not being able to pass xinxing [mind or heart
nature] tests for a long period of time, being unable to calm down when
studying the Fa, and being unable to genuinely search inward when conflicts
arose. This affected their Dafa work. Master has emphasized this issue in recent
articles numerous times. The experience-sharing article, "Eliminate the
Pursuit of Comfort and Take Every Step Well in the Last Stage" [unofficial
translation] posted on Clearwisdom.net on December 31, 2001 discussed this
very clearly. We hope all fellow practitioners take this incident as a warning.
Let's send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate evil and recover the local Dafa
work as soon as possible and have our fellow practitioners return as soon as
possible to join us in Fa-rectification work.
[Hefei City, Anhui Province] Arrest of Several Dafa Practitioners
On January 13, 2002, at 6p.m., a police officer from Anhui Province's Women's
Forced Labor Camp spotted practitioners Yu Meixiu, Ji Guangjie, Zhu Guangzhen,
Wang Jian and Li Guozhen while they were walking around the labor camp area. The
lawless police officer dialed "110" [the emergency number in China]
and had the practitioners arrested. [simply because they were walking
around the labor camp area]. Their whereabouts are unknown.
