(Clearwisdom.net) 1. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] The Vicious Police in Zhangshi
Custodial Center Declare That Higher Authorities Gave Them an Approved Yearly
Quota for Practitioners Who Die from Torture and They Will Not Be Held
Responsible In the fall of 2001, Cheng Diankun, a member of the Political Committee of
Zhangshi Custodial Center, sent three practitioners including Zhang Zhenwu to
the Quanshan Custodial Center in Caishichang. He said that the center has an
approved quota for murdering several practitioners each year, and no one will be
held accountable for the deaths. Even if practitioners survive the torture
there, they will not be released. 2. [Shanghai] Li Ying of Shanghai Zhonglu Business Management and Consultancy
Corporation Is Illegally Sentenced to a Forced Labor Camp for Two Years Li Ying, female, 33 years old, graduated from the Business Administration
Program of Tongji University, Shanghai in 1992. She subsequently worked in the
Shanghai Zhonglu Business Management and Consultancy Corporation. Because she
refused to give up practicing Falun Gong, the police illegally sent her to a
brainwashing center where she continued to refuse to denounce her faith. She
later held a hunger strike. As a result, she was forced fed, which seriously
affected her health. Since she was an outstanding employee, and her work unit
bailed her out. On October 16, 2001, she was again taken away by the police.
Three months later, she was discovered being detained in the Qingsong Female
Forced Labor Camp. The reason given for her two-year term was quite absurd: she
was found giving a truth-clarification CD to a person. 3. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Practitioner Yan Zhigang Is Detained in the
Second Detention Center of Wuhan City We learned that on September 22, 2002 that practitioner Yan Zhigang was
arrested and sent to the Second Detention Center in Wuhan. In April 2001, his
wife was arrested. Since then, Yan had been forced to leave home to avoid
further persecution and his whereabouts are unknown. We hope that practitioners
reading this will send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil elements
in other dimensions. 4. [Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Practitioners Zhu Junxiu, Yu Jiaqing and
Twenty Other Practitioners Arrested On the evening of September 28, 2002, practitioner Zhu Junxiu and her husband
Yu Jiaqing were arrested by the police from Chengdu Security Department. The
police also arrested another twenty practitioners from the same company. Police
took two cars and hauled many practitioners away. 5. [Chongzhou City, Sichuan Province] Police Vandalize a Dafa
Truth-Clarification Material Center During the holidays around National Day, a truth clarification resource
center in Chongzhou City was ransacked. A high quality scanner, a few thousand
truth-clarification CDs, and cash amounting to a few thousand dollars were lost.
It was said that the police kept most of these things. Two female practitioners
who had left home to avoid being arrested have disappeared. 6. [Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Police Hire Retired Officials to Monitor
and Report on Practitioners During the holidays around National Day, the father of a practitioner was
invited to a meeting where all participants were retired officials. They were
given the task of monitoring and reporting on practitioners. They were asked to
call the police or follow practitioners if they see them distributing or posting
flyers. This group of people is not open-minded, and has been exposed to the
poisonous propaganda against Falun Gong for the longest time. They are the
victims of lies, deceit and slander. 7. [Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Practitioner Tan Shaolan of Chuan Mian
First Factory Is Arrested Since October 1999, practitioner Tan Shaolan (female) of Chuan Mian First
Factory in Chengdu had been arrested many times, and at one time was imprisoned
for as long as half a year for upholding her faith in Falun Gong. She was later
imprisoned again for appealing in Beijing. Her identification card and bankbooks
were forfeited. Zhou Jianhui from Tiaodenghe Police Station and Zhong Wei from
Tiaodenghe Security Department regularly harassed her. Tan had to move away from
home to avoid further harassment. During the past two years, Chuan Main Security
Department has withheld Tan's pension. On September 2, 2002, Tan went to the Security Department of Chuan Mian First
Factory to demand her pension. However, instead of granting her request, the
Security Department detained Tan and subsequently took her to the Tiaodenghe
Police Station and put her under the "care" of Zhou Jianhui. Zhou illegally sent
her to a detention center on the same day. 8. [China] The Laughable Lie about Falun Gong Practitioners Cutting Their
Stomach On a winter day in 1999, an official from a local "610 Office" [a bureau
specifically created by the regime to persecute Falun Gong. It has absolute
power over each level of administration in the party, as well as over the
political and judiciary branches] interrogated a practitioner. The official
used a TV propaganda show produced by the state-controlled media to attack Dafa.
In response, the practitioner cited an example in the propaganda in which a
practitioner was alleged to cut his own stomach in order to find the Falun
(wheel of law) to prove that this was nothing but lies. The practitioner said,
"All Falun Gong practitioners know that Falun exists in another dimension and
cannot be seen. How can a practitioner cut his stomach in order to find Falun?
The official was speechless when he heard that. Desperate, he gestured with his
hands, "Couldn't he have cut his stomach and touched his Falun from there?"
Hearing this, all the policemen present laughed their heads off. 9. [Huainan, Anhui Province] Practitioner Sun Qirong Is Secretly Detained A practitioner who had gone astray betrayed practitioner Sun Qirong of
Huainan, Anhui Province. When Sun visited this practitioner in Chaijigan on
August 20, 2002, the police arrested her in the corridor. The guards at the
brainwashing center tortured him and would not allow him to sleep. He is
currently secretly detained (not in the city). We suggest that practitioners in
Huainan send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil forces in other
dimensions. 10. [Hefei City, Anhui Province] The Police in Qilitang Police Station Arrest
Practitioner Wu Jiwen Not long ago, police from Qilitang Police Station, Hefei City stormed a
truth-clarification materials center and removed a photocopier, papers and other
things. In mid July 2002, police detained practitioner Wu Jiwen for 15 days for
distributing truth clarification flyers. In late July, the police and officials
from Xiagang School used the excuses of meetings with the school and the
Residence Committee to trick Wu to the school. Once he was there, members of the
Residence Committee forced Wu into a police car and sent him to the Nanhu Forced
Labor Camp. Wu had started a hunger strike before and his health condition was
poor. The Forced Labor Camp refused to admit him. His whereabouts are now
unknown. Head of Qilitang Police Station: Zhang Shizhong Policeman: Su Bin Telephone number of Qilitang Police Station: 86-551-4214438; 86-551-4210665 Telephone number of the Principal of Xiagang School (female): 86-551-4221334

City, and Tang Taohung, the head of the Factory's Security Department, took
several persons from the "610 Office" to the work unit of practitioner Li Yun.
They tried to trick Li into leaving with them. Later, they forcefully sent Li to
a brainwashing center. Li started a hunger strike and later suffered from a high
fever. He was then released and sent home. Telephone number of the Security Department of Wanjiang Factory:
86-551-4285371 Telephone number of the Residence Committee of Wanjiang Factory:

Due to Torture A practitioner from Hefei City, Anhui Province is suffering from mental
trauma received in a brainwashing center. In the center, practitioners are put
in solitary confinement and have to listen to slander about Dafa everyday.
Practitioners are not allowed to leave their room, nor are their family members
allowed to see them. There has been very little information about what is going
on. But it was said that a lot of practitioners are very determined in their
faith of Falun Gong. 13. [Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province] Practitioners Guo Qunhui and Huang
Shaowen Are Sentenced; Practitioners Chen Wenjie and Li Jinhui Have Been
Detained for a Year Practitioners Chen Wenjie and Li Jinhui from Jiangmen City, Guangdong
Province were illegally arrested while they clarified the facts about Falun Gong
to people. Since May 22, 2001, they have been detained in Jiangmen Detention
Center. The police are now looking for "criminal evidence" so they can sentence
them to a maximum term. Female practitioner Guo Qunwen was arrested on December 30, 2001 when her
truth-clarification resource center was ransacked. She was given an eight-year
term. Practitioner Huang Shaowen was sentenced to four years in prison, and has
been sent to the prison already. Currently, several practitioners including some from other cities are
detained in Jiangmen Detention Center. 14. [Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Practitioner Zhou Min Is Detained in

other practitioners are also detained there. The guards in the Center said that
they would "start a class" for the practitioners. 15. [Qianxi, Guizhou Province] The "610 Office" Persecutes Dafa Practitioners The "610 Office" of Qianxi, Guizhou Province actively persecutes Dafa
practitioners. They attack Dafa and practitioners with slander and lies, and
they held a photo exhibition to defame Dafa and Teacher. They have also
initiated a petition and collected signatures from organizations and schools.
The police in Qianxi follow practitioners, and always go in a small group of
three to five to practitioners' houses to harass and threaten them. In April
2001, the police arrested four practitioners and sentenced two of them to a
three-year term. 16. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Propaganda Movie Shows in Major
Shenyang Theatres Since October 15, 2002, major Shenyang theatres have shown movies that defame
Dafa. We hope that practitioners will send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate
the evil elements in other dimensions.
