(Clearwisdom.net) 1. [China] Take the Fa as Teacher, Resist All Kinds of Persecution
During Teacher's Fa-rectification, the old forces of the cosmos mainly
utilized the media to produce numerous lies to persecute Dafa and practitioners.
At the same time, they also employed other means of persecution. For instance,
some people pretend to be Dafa practitioners, but at certain times and under
certain circumstances, they appear to lose their mind, talk strangely, and do
things against Dafa or damage Dafa. This directly damages the reputation of Dafa
and practitioners in the world, and some ordinary people were pushed in the
opposite direction of Dafa as a result.
True practitioners should always take the Fa as Teacher and not become
attached to yourself no matter where you are and what you are doing. Especially
at the current stage, we should use our wisdom to recognize all kinds of
persecution, make the best use of time and help more people to establish the
righteous thought that "Falun Dafa is Good," so that they can be
saved.
2. [Northern China] University Student with a Mighty, Righteous Mind
This April, the "610 Office" [an agency specifically created to
persecuteáFalun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration
in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems] ordered all
universities and colleges across the nation to stop classes, and watch
anti-Falun Gong videos and discuss them. In front of a class in a certain
university in north China, a student was deceived by the false content
slandering Dafa in the video and said bad things about Falun Dafa. Another
student, Daqiang (pseudonym, Daqiang's mother is a steadfast practitioner whose
life has been saved by Dafa), suddenly stood up from his chair and asked,
"Do you know what Falun Gong is? Have you read Mr. Li Hongzhi's books? If
you do not know about it you shouldn't talk. Come down here, do not talk there
irresponsibly. I know what Falun Gong is and let me tell you what it is all
about." Daqiang walked to the stage quickly and said, "Experiencing it
is the only way to judge whether it is true or not, how can those who have never
practiced Falun Gong be fit to criticize it? My mother is a Falun Gong
practitioner. Before the practice, she was tortured so severely by rheumatoid
arthritis and other illnesses that several times she wanted to commit suicide.
Shortly after she practiced Falun Gong, all of her illnesses were gone, what is
wrong with that? Is it wrong trying to have good health and be a good person? In
the past when my mother was sick nobody cared about us. But now, when she is
very healthy after practicing Falun Gong and we live together happily, we
received all kinds of 'care' from the community committee, police substation and
public security bureau. What is more, during the Chinese New Year my mother was
taken away from home and locked up in the detention center! All of this was
witnessed by my eyes and experienced by myself. I hope that nobody will talk
irresponsibly anymore! " This unexpected speech silenced the whole
audience, and students' hearts were deeply moved by his courage and
righteousness of speaking the truth. Warm applause arose when he stepped down
from the stage.
3. [Xi'an City, Shanxi Province] Female Practitioner Pu Jianghong Remains
Steadfast in Spite of Repeated Brutal Torture
Dafa practitioner Pu Jianghong from Xi'an City went to Tiananmen Square to
appeal for Falun Gong in November 2000. She was illegally arrested and detained
in Shijingshan Detention Center. In order to get her name and address, the
police beat her continuously for 5 days. But she was determined not to cooperate
with evil forces and didn't tell her name and address, she also resisted with a
hunger strike. On the 15th day of her hunger strike she was
transferred to a small county in Hebei province and released the next day.
After returning to Xi'an City, she was forced to leave her home in order to
avoid being arrested . The local Public Security Bureau and Safety Bureau put
her on a wanted list with a 50,000 Yuan reward (Chinese currency, the average
monthly income of an urban worker is 500 Yuan), and threatened her relatives
several times to turn her in. On May 16, 2001, she and three other practitioners
were arrested when former practitioners who turned against Dafa turned them in.
During the three months in the detention center, she refused to cooperate with
evil forces and again protested with a hunger strike. She was tortured using a
special bed used only for death row inmates. When the police pried open her
mouth and force-fed her, her teeth were severely damaged. In August she was
sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp. She remains firm, doesn't
cooperate with evil forces to do any labor or recite rules for criminals, and is
asking for unconditional release. Influenced by her, some other practitioners
there refuse to cooperate with evil forces as well. Because of this, the guards
often order other inmates and police to beat her up. Not long ago, a former
practitioner Wang who had turned against Dafa gave a report at the request of
the labor camp, slandering Dafa and Teacher. Pu Jianghong stood up to resist it,
and Wang's report ended in a hurry. She was again beaten because of this. It is
said that she is locked up in solitary confinement, no visitors are permitted
and neither is she allowed access to winter clothes. Her current situation
remains unknown.
4. [Anhui Province] Practitioners Go to Beijing to Validate Dafa
On December 18, 2001, thirteen practitioners (including a practitioner over
70 years-old and six-month-old baby) from Anhui Province went to Beijing to
validate Dafa. With unshakable and the purest hearts, they came to Tiananmen
Square to fulfill their sacred oath of "Assisting Teacher in his journey in
this world." (cited from Hongyin, "Assisting the Fa")
Facing heavily armed police, practitioners dispersed them with righteous
thoughts and walked into the gate tunnel under Tiananmen building. There they
unfurled two banners towards passersby and shouted out loudly together,
"Falun Dafa is good! Restore the reputation of Dafa, restore the reputation
of Teacher!" Their voices echoed high up in the sky, effectively
frightening and eliminating the evil, and displayed Dafa's mighty virtue toward
heaven and earth. During the process, five practitioners were arrested, and the
rest of them returned home safely. Several days later, four of the arrested
practitioners kept their minds righteous, refused to cooperate with evil forces,
and returned home safely under Teacher's compassionate protection.
5. [Liaoning Province] Persecution of Practitioners in Anshan Forced Labor
Camp and Haicheng Detention Center
Some former practitioners who have turned against Dafa formed a TV team in
Anshan Forced Labor Camp, and made up a ten-episode TV series slandering Dafa.
The content is extremely evil, and they probably will broadcast it starting on
New Year's Day of 2002. The partial list of the former practitioners who have turned against Dafa is:
Cao Wei, Yu Zhijie, Wang Tianguang, Zhang Zhongrong, Zhang Zifeng, Li Yi, Wu
Xiaoxue, Zhang Yingtang and Gao Jian.
This March, the persecution to Dafa practitioners in Haicheng Detention
Center was severe. The gate guard wouldn't allow practitioners to talk. If they
did they would be threatened and slapped. The supervising guard stripped away
the practitioners' sweaters and heavy pants [In northern part of China, a
type of heavy pants made of wool are commonly worn to protect against the cold],
and only let them wear light pants. Starting from the entrance gate,
practitioners were not allowed to wear shoes, and they had to walk to the cells
bare foot. When they were sent to Anshan City, practitioners asked for their
sweaters and heavy pants but none were returned. In Haicheng Detention Center,
only two pieces of small fist-sized corn bread were given for each meal and it
was sometimes half-cooked. In addition, the corn bread contained sand and
sometimes was mildewed. The soup contained no oil or vegetables, but had insects
and dirt. When there was an inspection from superiors, they were forced to say
that they had meat in their dishes while actually they had not. They were also
asked to recite their "five rights" including filing a complaint,
suing somebody, appealing, reporting against someone and so on, but actually
none of the rights were granted.
In every cell there is a cell head. They cooperate with each other and
utilize inmates to do their bidding, and forbid them to tell anybody. They set
the frequency and length of time for using the restroom. If their rules are not
followed, inmates would be cursed or beaten.
This is my eyewitness account.
6. [Southern China] A Large Amount of Truth Clarifying Materials Appear in
Two Universities
About a thousand pieces of truth clarifying material and one hundred CDs
appeared in two universities in Southern China. The evil forces were really
frightened.
7. [Anshan City, Liaoning Province] The Persecution of A Mother and Her
Daughter
On December 12, Fu Liang and her daughter were arrested from their home in
Anshan City, Liaoning Province by Shenbei Police Substation, because they won't
give up practicing Dafa. They are currently detained in No. 2 Detention Center
of Anshan City. Fu Liang started a hunger strike more than ten days ago to
protest the illegal detention and persecution. Instead of listening to her, the
police persecuted her more severely. They inserted a feeding tube through her
nose, causing damage to her nose and esophagus, and force-fed her with corn
flour and salt water. Currently she is very weak and endures a great deal of
pain.
Here we appeal to the kind people in the world to support justice and pay
attention to the situation of the mother and daughter.
8. [Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province] The Criminal Conduct of the 610
Office
Practitioner Rao Zhuoyuan from Guangzhou City was kidnapped by officers of
the 610 Office. In order to protest persecution, he went on a hunger strike for
more than 50 days. He was brutally tortured during his hunger strike. Rao was
hit with a heavy staff, and many parts of his body were left severely bruised.
He originally weighed 60 kg, but now weighs only 30 kg. Recently his family was
notified to take him home, because the detention center and hospital dared not
to hold him any longer. To make sure that they would not be responsible if he
died in their hands, they pushed him back to his family. This again shows that
the 610 Office is vicious and cruel by nature.
Another practitioner Li Jian, a teacher in Zhongshan University, went to
Tiananmen, Beijing to validate Dafa and voiced the true feelings in his heart:
"Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa!" He was illegally
sentenced to one year in the Xiaodao Forced Labor Camp. Recently, the community
committee took several additional practitioners from their homes to the
brainwashing class.
9. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] A Report on the Persecution of Dafa
Practitioners in Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp
On December 24, a group of Falun Gong practitioners who refused to give up
practicing in other forced labor camps were sent to Chaoyanggou Forced Labor
Camp, Changchun City, Jilin Province. Before those practitioners arrived, the
labor camp had declared that they would just beat them until they gave up, and
that would also teach a lesson to the practitioners already detained there.
As soon as the practitioners entered this labor camp, the guards ordered
practitioners originally detained there to turn their backs and not watch, then
the beatings of the newly admitted practitioners began. All that could be heard
was beating, cursing and painful screaming from practitioners. At the same time,
the police threatened and tried to force the originally detained practitioners
to give up practicing. The inhuman action of the guards is not allowed according
to the heaven's law!
10. [Shanghai] A Practitioner Is Kidnapped
Shanghai practitioner Xie Qiang, male, 31 years old, was reported by a former
practitioner who has turned against Dafa in the middle of October. He was
detained and has been forced to attend an anti-Falun Gong brainwashing class in
Qingpu. A reliable source said that he might already be sentenced to a forced
labor camp, and the charge against him is spreading Falun Dafa materials.
11. [Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province] Official in the Party Tells the Truth
In the evening of November 17, 2001 in Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province,
Chen and I took a taxi to a Computer Market. On the way, we clarified the truth
of Dafa to the driver. When we talked about the "Tiananmen
Immolation," the driver said, "I know it better than you. One friend
of mine is an official in the party and revealed it to me, 'In the past,
whenever the party launched a campaign, it had always been successful. While
under current Jiang's regime, they are out of ideas of how to handle those
harmless but steadfast Falun Gong practitioners. The practitioners still go on
even though many of them were beaten to death by the police and authorities.
Every practitioner says Falun Dafa is good, asks us to restore their Teacher's
reputation, restore Dafa's reputation, and suggests to us that we read the book
of Zhuan Falun to truly understand what kind of people they are. Actually
we know that they are good people. But under the pressure of higher authorities,
none of us dares to say a single word for Falun Gong. If we did not follow what
we are required to do by the higher authorities, we would be fired immediately,
so we have to follow orders and do things against our conscience. Surprisingly,
instead of being suppressed, Falun Gong is stronger and more people come to
learn the practice. The authorities are full of complaints from high to low
levels. Jiang Zemin and Luo Gan's people have used all kinds of means to
persecute Falun Gong and are at the end of their wits. At the time, they found
some people in Kaifeng City, Henan Province who were very hungry for money. The
authorities spent huge amounts of money to pay them to perform a "Tiananmen
Immolation." But somehow, it was exposed by foreign reporters. It really
disgraces Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan and their followers. My friend also told me not
to believe TV, newspaper and other media propaganda on Falun Gong because the
reports are all false. Inside the party, nobody is interested in the media
reports on Falun Gong. What is on Falun Gong's flyers is the real truth. In
every campaign, the party murders lots of people. We know the persecution of
Falun Gong is wrong. Once the day comes that Falun Gong's reputation is
restored, those people who take part in the current persecution of Falun Gong
will end up being punished."
From the party official's saying, it is obvious that the inside followers of
Jiang and Luo's Gang are worried about their own future, and already sense the
doomed fate of such vicious persecution of Falun Gong. For those who are still
actively taking part in Jiang and Luo's Gang to persecute Dafa and the
practitioners, we hope you can tell good from evil and stop the persecution
immediately.
12. [Changchun, Jilin Province] Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp Officials
Mercilessly Beat Up Dafa Practitioners
On December 24, 2001, male practitioners sentenced to forced labor in
Liaoyuan City, Tonghua City and Baicheng City were transferred to Chaoyanggou
Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City. The sources said all the sentenced male
practitioners in labor camps would be transferred to Chaoyanggou and Jiutai. A
section head whose last name is Zhu is in charge of it. Wang Yanwei, who is the
chief of Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp, gave personal instructions to the guards
and criminals of the labor camp to mercilessly beat up those recently
transferred practitioners. Almost every practitioner's body was full of wounds
and scars. Some practitioners' arms and legs were seriously injured, and some
were beaten to the point of vomiting blood. It is said that this kind of brutal
treatment was secretly encouraged by the local judicial department. We hope
practitioners can provide more detailed information.
13. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] The Fact of the Persecution of Female
Practitioner Qu Fenglan and Her Family
Practitioners Ma Dexin (gender unknown) and mother Qu Fenglan from Xinchengzi
District of Shenyang City, Liaoning Province went to Tiananmen Square in Beijing
to validate the Fa and unfurled Dafa banners. They were escorted back to their
local police station. Ma Dexin was sent to the notorious Masanjia Forced Labor
Camp. Qu Fenglan was placed under such duress that her heart disease recurred.
She was sent to Dadong Hospital by the police station and hospitalized. The
police station required her children to bring them 2,000 Yuan. Finally her
children handed in 200 Yuan to have their mother released from the hospital and
sent back home. Because of the pressure and threats, the more than 70-year-old
Qu Fenglan lost the ability to take care of herself. Since she has returned
home, the street management committee of Qingshui Erjing Shuanlingba area of
Xinchengzi District and the police station always send people to her home to
urge her to move away. Their excuse is that her registered residency is not
under the current local police station (Qu Fenglan's registered residency is
under Guancheng Police Station of Shenyang City). But her family already bought
the house. She and her family are harassed and threatened frequently.
14. [Fuyu County, Jilin Province] Public Security Bureau's Persecution of
Dafa Practitioners
To fulfill the higher authorities' assigned quota during the "harsh
measure against crime" period, Fuyu County Public Bureau adopted various
illegal methods to arrest innocent Falun Gong practitioners from everywhere to
meet the quota. They said brazenly, "Too much effort is needed to arrest
those real criminals, but it is very easy to arrest you to help us meet the
required quota."
Recently another group of practitioners who went to Beijing to appeal for
Falun Gong was escorted back. Policeman Wang from Caijiagou Police Station
extorted more than 2,000 Yuan from practitioners while arresting them in
Beijing. He had planned to spend the money on traveling and sightseeing.
Police from Politic and Security Department of Public Security Bureau and
Xincheng Police Station arrested practitioners from their home without any legal
process. Police Liu and Wang from Shiqiao Police Station illegally arrested two
practitioners who were clarifying the truth of Dafa to people. The practitioners
did not cooperate with the evil forces. The police forcefully dragged them to
the police van and drove away. One practitioner tried to get away from them but
was caught and returned to police.
Du Jizeng and Yu Xiangbin, the Chiefs of Public Security Bureau, Xu Shuxian,
the section head of Politic and Security Department, physically and verbally
abused practitioners. One female practitioner was beaten until she lost
consciousness. But they still would not let her go. They dragged her on the
ground on the way to the detention center. Her clothes, including her pants,
were torn open.
Three practitioners were kidnapped on the train from Baicheng to Songyuan.
Guards in Fuyu County Detention Center are also quite vicious. They slandered
Teacher and Dafa and brutally beat up Dafa practitioners. They used fabricated
pictures to deceive criminals being held at the detention center. Dafa
practitioners' personal things were stolen from their pockets as well.
Currently, Fuyu County Detention Center has sixteen or seventeen
practitioners. Some practitioners have been held there for more than three
months even though their original jail terms were completed. Some practitioners
went on hunger strike many times to protest the illegal and brutal treatment.
Instead of releasing these practitioners, the guards force-fed them. Now those
practitioners are on a group hunger strike to protest the illegal detention.
The people from Politic and Security Department of Fuyu County' are seriously
lacking in morality. They have taken advantage of the compassion and kindness of
practitioners to extort money. Since July 22, 1999, they demanded every
practitioner who went to Beijing to appeal to hand in a 5,000 Yuan fine.
Whenever they arrest a Falun Gong practitioner, they say, "Money is
coming."
To safeguard the truth of universe and eliminate evil forces, we cannot allow
those vicious people to run rampant anymore. Let's send out righteous thought
together: eliminate the old force's arrangement in Fuyu County, unconditionally
release all imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners.
15. [Pindu City, Shandong Province] Police from Changle Police Station
Forcefully Inject a Falun Gong Practitioner with Unknown Drug
On December 18, 2001, three female practitioners Chen Xiaoling, Xu Chunfang
and Xiao Gao returned home after going to Beijing to validate Dafa. But they had
been tailed by the police. As soon as they got home, five policemen from Changle
Police Station broke in. Four policemen grabbed Chen Xiaoling's arms and twisted
them behind her. They had injected an unknown drug between her fingers before
they carried her to a police car and drove to Changle Police Station. Chen
Xiaoling, Xu Chunfang and Xiao Gao are detained in Pindu Public Security Bureau.
Xu Chunfang's husband had passed away. Their two lovely children, (one is 17
years old, the other is 9 years old) have been left home alone since their
mother was taken away by the police.
We call for all the kind people to pay attention to their situation to assure
their safety.

Power Plant in Chuanying District, Jilin City. On October 27, 2000, she went to
