Don't Stop Assisting Teacher With Fa-rectification
While the Evil Forces' Persecution has not Ended (Clearwisdom.net) [Beijing, China] Police Stations Monitor all Public Telephones One day, a Dafa practitioner from Beijing ran into a former colleague who is
an expert in electronics surveillance control. He told the practitioner a story:
One day when he went to a police station on business, he discovered that 7-8
people in one room were tapping all residential and public telephones nearby. He
was very astonished, since this kind of surveillance equipment used to be
installed only in the Ministry of Public Security and in City Police
Departments. Nowadays they are even installed in local police stations. When he
got back home he told his family to be careful when making a phone call, and to
not even talk about sensitive topics. In the end he advised the practitioner to
be cautious when making phone calls. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] ChaoYanggou Detention Center Authorities
Plot to Persecute Dafa Practitioners According to inside information from the Chaoyanggou Detention Center in
Changchun City, all the male practitioners illegally detained within Jilin
Province, except for those from the Yanji area, would be sent to the Chaoyanggou
Detention Center by December 24, where they will be subjected to further
persecution. [China] The Police Claim that Jiang Zemin's Law is: "Contact with
Relatives Makes you Legally Responsible" Recently a squad of policemen broke into a civilian's house at midnight. They
searched the kitchen, balcony and bathroom and even raised the curtains to check
for things. When the owner, who had not yet recovered from the fright, regained
his composure and asked the police, "What's going on?" the police
officers didn't respond with a reason right away. They then made up a lie in a
hurry and said, "One of your relatives is a Falun Gong practitioner. Dare
you say that you have nothing to do with him? You have to take legal
responsibility." For shame! In today's China one is forced to take legal responsibility for
contacting one' s own relatives! No one can duplicate the means used by Jiang
Zemin's regime with it's methods of domestic terrorism. [Kaifeng City, Henan Province] Acts of Violent Brainwashing and Forced
Labor in Kaifeng's Forced Labor Camp Because he refused to give up his belief in Dafa, lawless police officers in
the labor camp brutally beat practitioner Deng Jinzhong. The criminals
alternately handcuffed him to the doors, windows and beds for several hours, and
then forced him to do heavy labor. They also forced him to sleep on closet
stool. His arms were scarred from having been burned with cigarette butts. Practitioner Wang Jun was put into solitary confinement for insisting on
cultivating Falun Dafa. The cell is completely dark, with neither windows nor
lights. There is only enough room for one person to sleep. He was served only
two meals consisting of cold food scraps that were left over from the previous
meal. This practitioner spent the Spring Festival 2000 in such a cell. When he
refused to give in to the authorities demands, he was subjected to more severe
persecution. The vicious criminals beat him up first and then forced him to do
the "Zhan Tai" position, which means he had to stand on a square
stool, 3 inches high, against the wall with his eyes open. He was forced to do
labor during the daytime and at night he was in turn monitored by the prisoners
and not allowed to sleep. A criminal named Xiao Qi who was in charge of monitoring him was very
vicious. He punched him in the face and smashed his buttocks with a wooden stool
and tortured him by all imaginable means. Police guards in the detention center
turned a blind eye to what was happening. He was thus abused for 320 days. Practitioner Han Yuxiang was persistent in his belief. His nose was punched
so severely that it bled. Practitoner Zhao Zemin was beaten so severely s/he suffered a lung hemorrhage
and had a fever for one month. Even under these circumstances he was forced to
do heavy labor. [Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Maiming of Female Dafa Practitioner Xue
Xia from Brutal Beating. Xue Xia, female, about 30 years old, from Xingtai City, Hebei Province, was
unlawfully sent to a forced labor camp for insisting on cultivating Dafa. She
was detained in Unit No.2 of Shijiazhang's Female Forced Labor Camp. The police
authorities used all kinds of excruciating abuse to force her to give up her
belief. These long-term tortures severely harmed her, both physically and
mentally and she is now maimed. Ms. Xue has become incapable of taking care of
herself. In the end she was tortured so severely that she has become mentally
disoriented. She is still illegally detained in Unit No 2. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Latest Records of Criminal Acts
Committed by Shi Changjing and His Cronies at Changlinzi's Forced Labor Camp After being bailed out for medical treatment in July 2001, Bi Zhihai was sent
back to the forced labor camp. This happened in November 2001, because he was
suspected of accessing the Internet. On December 22, 2001, when Bizhihai's
illegal "forced labor term" expired, Hao Wei, the chief of the No.4
team, told him that he had to be detained for an additional month "for his
hunger strike." In fact, Shi Changjing, director of Changlinzi's Forced
Labor Camp, concocted this. Since some articles published on the Internet
exposed his and Hao Wei's criminal acts, he retaliated without restraint. It was
rumored that all those practitioners who had been on a hunger strike would have
their forced labor terms extended arbitrarily. Recently, authorities from the Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp set up an
"out-of-camp team," where all the practitioners whose terms are going
to expire are sent. The chief promised to give them a relaxed environment and
would drive practitioners home if their family wouldn't come to meet them when
their terms were "expired." It sounds perfect. However, the forced
labor camp tried to find any possible excuse not to release some practitioners
when their terms expired. Because of the persecution and unsanitary conditions, most practitioners in
Changlinzi's Forced Labor Camp are suffering from scabies. Their whole body has
festered and their legs are swollen. It is not easy to make a small movement.
They also can't sit down because the body is too sore and itchy to bear. They
are suffering ultimate physical pain and discomfort. All kind people, please pay attention to the practitioners' plight in this
forced labor camp, and help to stop this inhuman persecution. At the same time
all of us practitioners, please send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the
evils behind the persecution. [Xinjiang AR] Changji Forced Labor Camp Police Officers Brutally Beat Hunger
- Striking Practitioners The police authorities in Changji's Forced Labor Camp in Xinjiang AR (Autonomous
Region) forced practitioners to work overtime, overloaded them and wantonly
beat and abused them. In November 2001, 20 practitioners who were illegally
imprisoned there went on a hunger strike and water strike, a walkout, and
refused to wear a labor camp uniform. They required of the authorities to
restore the reputation of Falun Dafa, unconditionally release all unlawfully
detained practitioners and removed all propaganda materials defaming Dafa. As a result of these demands, the camp authorities used most of its policemen
to segregate and persecute all of the practitioners on hunger strike. Some of
them were beaten with electric batons to such an extent that they could not
walk; some practitioners' lips were swollen too much to eat, and some had
injuries and showed signs of trauma on their faces, noses and ears. We appeal to kind and righteous people to pay attention to these
practitioners and help them. Postal address of Unit No.6 of Changji's Forced Labor Camp, Xinjiang AR,
China: Changji Forced Labor Camp, Wujiaqu, Xinjiang Province Postal code: 831300 Phone number: 011-86-994-816092 List of criminal policemen: Commissar of this camp: Zhu Xuefei Management and education section: Zhang Yan, Gu Jianhai, Ning Tao, Li Jianbo [Bin County, Heilongjiang Province] List of Criminals Sun Yu, Party secretary in Ningyuan Town, Bin County, Heilongjiang Province,
abused his privileges and illegally arrested practitioners many times since
2001, the time he was appointed secretary. He threatened, "I don't believe
I can't defeat Falun Gong. Use any instrument of torture on them. I'll see
whether or not they will continue to practice." Several teachers of this town once went to Beijing to appeal. After that they
were forced to stop working and had to stay at home. Recently, one practitioner
was illegally detained after he went to Beijing to appeal. During the
imprisonment, Party secretary Sun Yu forced this practitioner's spouse to leave
work. He abused his power and assisted a tyrant to do evil. Such bandit-like
behavior has seriously violated practitioners' human rights. Peng Yongzhi, associate Party functionary in Ningyuan Town, Bin County,
Heilongjiang Province often abused his privileges since 1999 to illegally arrest
practitioners, search for Dafa books, illegally send practitioners to detention
centers and forced labor camps and tear up truth-clarifying fliers. Wang Yumei, leader of Women's League in Ningyuan Town, Bin County,
Heilongjiang Province, was a woman who overtly agrees but covertly opposes. When
she faced the practitioners she said, "You just practice at home." But
behind the practitioner's back, she watched their actions and benefited from
reporting them. December 26, 2001 Posting date: 1/3/2002
