1. [China] The Truth Clarification VCDs Strongly Affect Police
Several people were chatting about Falun Gong. One officer from the railroad
police department said, "Recently, we have received many VCDs. They are all
about Falun Gong," Another person said, "My relative gave me a Falun
Gong disc. I have not seen it yet." The officer said, "You should look
at their VCD. It is evidence-based and reasonable. It is quite good and worth
watching. You should be hurry back home and watch it."
2. [Yangzi, Shandong Province] Jiang's New Law -- Visiting During New Year
Incurs Fines
During the 2002 Chinese New Year, several villagers who do not practice Falun
Gong went to visit a practitioner's family. They were watching television and
playing cards when the police came in unexpectedly. The police forcefully took
the practitioner away and fined the villagers about 2,000 Yuan per person. The
police fined citizens for no reason and disturbed their New Year.
In Jinan City, Shandong Province, the police arrested female practitioner
Tian Fengying during the Chinese New Year.
3. [Beijing, China] Authorities from Panzhihua City's Liaison Office in
Beijing Insult Female Falun Dafa Practitioner
In January 2000, the practitioners from Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province went
to Beijing to appeal and were sent to Panzhihua City's liaison office in
Beijing. It was bitterly cold in Beijing with ice and snow on the ground. They
forced many practitioners to take off their overcoats and shoes, and left them
with only a single layer of clothing. When they saw a young female practitioner,
they stripped her down to only her bra and underpants. She was crying and
struggling. The policemen maliciously stared at her and laughed.
4. [China] The Police Rob the Life-Savings from Handicapped Elderly Person
I am a handicapped, lonely man of more than 60 years of age. Before I
practiced Falun Gong, I was dependent on a wheelchair for 8 years due to a
stroke. I had no children, and after my wife died, I could not take care of
myself. I lived a life that was worse than death. When I started to practice
Falun Gong in 1996, my body changed dramatically. Not only were many of my
diseases cured, but also I could walk to the park independently. Falun Dafa gave
me a brand-new life.
However, I was arrested many times because I persisted in practicing Falun
Gong. My home was searched many times. Recently, they took all of my
life-savings. They do not care about whether I live or die. This is indeed
inhuman! I hope kind people in the world could say some fair words for me.
5. [China] Falun Dafa Practitioners Everywhere Salute Changchun Practitioners
Hebei Province Falun Dafa practitioners salute the Changchun practitioners:
Your rational, wise and benevolent feat made the evil tremble in fear and has
inspired the righteous people of the world. Your great action has moved heaven
and earth and composed a magnificent history for the universe!
We suggest that all practitioners in the world send forth righteous thoughts
to stop the Jiang regime's mad revenge towards Falun Dafa and practitioners. Let
us welcome the spring of the universe with our righteous minds and righteous
actions.
Beijing practitioners salute Changchun Dafa practitioners:
You are worthy of being good disciples of Teacher. Your unselfish and
fearless feat has established incomparable, great virtues for Dafa. You also
inspired practitioners elsewhere to clarify the truth of Dafa more in depth,
more wisely, and more powerfully, and thereby saving people.
6. [Changchun, Jilin Province] Police Arrest People and Search Homes, Terror
Covers Changchun First Automobile Factory
Since March 5, 2002, when Changchun Cable TV broadcasted the truth of Falun
Dafa, terror has covered Changchun. The loud sound of police sirens is
everywhere on the street, day and night. Many practitioners have been forcefully
taken from their homes for no apparent reason, sometimes in the middle of the
night. The Jincheng Police Department again closely followed Jiang's regime and
has committed enormous crimes against the residents in the Changchun First
Automobile Factory's residential area. They called upon the residential office,
local police station, and some neighborhood thugs to break into Dafa
practitioners' homes and conduct illegal searches. They tried to force
practitioners to write their attitudes regarding the incident of cable TV and
sign their names. When the practitioners refused, they ordered the police and
the thugs to forcefully drag the practitioners into the police cars. Some
practitioners were only wearing one layer of clothing when arrested. According
to several sources, more than ten practitioners were illegally kidnapped, and
their homes were confiscated, including elderly people who are seventy or eighty
years old. More residents' phones were tapped and monitored around the clock.
The phone switchboard of one residential area was even changed from being
computer operated to having human operators. Many practitioners were forced to
become homeless.
7. [Changchun, Jilin Province] Shuangyang District Police Illegally Arrest 70
Falun Dafa Practitioners
In Shuangyang District, Changchun City, the police have been madly arresting
practitioners since March 8, 2002. They arrested around 70 practitioners and
illegally detained them at the Shuangyang Detention Center. They are to be
detained for 15 days. After 15 days, the officials will release those who write
statements promising to quit practicing Falun Gong. Those who refuse to write
such statements might be sent to labor camps. Officials will take other measures
towards those practitioners from whose houses they uncover any Falun Dafa
materials. They will not allow family members to visit practitioners. Now the
police department and the local police stations have ordered that each officer
has to catch several practitioners.
Some evil people borrowed ladders from firefighters and climbed into a
practitioner's home from the sixth floor window to arrest the practitioner.
Those practitioners who were not arrested often had many police coming to their
houses several times a day. Many practitioners have been forced to become
homeless. We would like to ask all practitioners to send forth righteous
thoughts to eradicate the evil that persecutes the practitioners.
8. [Changchun, Jilin Province] Plainclothes Police Drive Taxi to Lure and
Arrest Falun Dafa Practitioners
Changchun plainclothes police drove a taxi to lure and arrest Falun Dafa
practitioners. Many public phones are tapped and monitored. Police continuously
patrol at nights. Practitioners should pay attention to their safety and keep
righteous thoughts at all times to eliminate the evil.
9. [Changchun, Jilin Province] Changchun 610 Office Holds Another
Brainwashing Class
The Changchun 610 Office illegally ran another brainwashing class at the
Jilin Province police reception center located near Tiebei Switch Factory. (The
610 office is 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.)They
have detained many practitioners there.
10. [Changchun, Jilin Province] The Evil Uses Students to Commit Crimes
Against Falun Dafa
Some evil people in Changchun use elementary and middle school students to
smear and tear down the Falun Dafa banners. They made these students, who do not
know the truth, commit crimes in their ignorance.
11. [Dawei Township, Emeishan City, Sichuan Province] Practitioner Ma Yuman
Arrested
At around 10 a.m. on January 9, 2002, when Ma Yuman, a Falun Gong
practitioner from the 5th group of Linci Village of Sichuan Province, clarified
the truth about Falun Gong to people and distributed truth-clarification CDs, a
wicked person reported him to the police. Later, three policemen and an official
arrested him. No one knows his current whereabouts. We hope that Dafa
practitioners can help look for him.
Names and phone numbers of the four people responsible for his arrest:
Luo Yongfei and Lin Liucong, from Dawei Police Station, phone: 86-833-5460039
Wu Xingcheng, Minister of the Department of the Armed Forces of Dawei Police
Station, phone: 86-833-5460066
Cao Guangrong, government official of Dawei Township, phone: 86833-5460076.
12. [Hailun City, Heilongjiang Province] Two Falun Gong Practitioners
Arrested and Sent to the Second Detention Center
Wen Jitao, a Falun Gong practitioner from Hailun City, Heilongjiang Province,
was arrested and beaten by the police, and sent to the Second Detention Center
in early March. In addition, Ding Jun, a practitioner from Kaoshantun Village,
Dongfanghong Township, was reported by someone on the afternoon of March 12. He
was arrested and sent to the Second Detention Center as well.
13. [Chongqing City, Sichuan Province] Tongnan County Officials Extort Money
and Valuables from Falun Gong Practitioners
The evil forces in Tongnan County of Chongqing City arrested a large group of
Falun Gong practitioners in 2001 and detained them in the County Detention
Center to extort money and valuables from them. Everyone had to pay 3,000 Yuan
in order to be released [the average monthly salary of an urban worker in
China is about 500 Yuan, but only 200 Yuan for a rural worker]. In addition,
the police also charged 30 Yuan per day per person for "living
expenses." For the practitioners from poor, rural areas, it was very
difficult for them to pay this, and it put them in difficult circumstances.
14. [Anshan City, Liaoning Province] The Anshan Forced Labor Camp Has No
Regard for Falun Gong Practitioners' Critical Health Conditions and Arrest
Practitioners Who Had Been Released on Bail to Get Medical Care
Liu Suhuan, a Falun Gong practitioner from Anshan City, Liaoning Province,
had been illegally detained at the Anshan Forced Labor Camp for over a year. In
order to oppose the illegal detention, she went on a hunger strike. Four days
later, her health had deteriorated to a dangerous state. Because the Anshan
Forced Labor Camp had tortured one practitioner to death before, they were
afraid of being held responsible for Liu's death, so they released her.
Recently, after Jiang Zemin gave the order of "kill without pardon,"
they forcibly carried Liu back to the labor camp with no regard for her critical
health condition.
Something similar happened to practitioner Zhang Guanghong. He had been
released on bail to get medical care due to symptoms of diabetes during his
detention at the labor camp. About ten days after his release, the labor camp
officials arrested him again.
15. [Liaoning Province] Please Pay Attention to the Current Situation of
Practitioner Wang Lin
Wang Lin, a Falun Gong practitioner from Dalian Bay, was arrested by the
Frontier Defense Police Station in Dalian Bay in January 2002 and illegally
sentenced to forced labor camp for distributing Dafa truth-clarification
materials. In December Wang's father grew seriously ill, so his wife went to the
forced labor camp in hopes that Wang might be able to come home to see his
father. When his wife went to the camp, however, she found out that Wang had
been illegally transferred to Guanshan Forced Labor Camp in Changtu, Shenyang
City on December 5 for further detention and persecution, because he was
determined in Dafa cultivation.
Geng Yongfeng, director of the police station, who illegally arrested Wang
Lin, has now been dismissed. Geng had illegally arrested many Dafa practitioners
and sent them to detention centers or forced labor camps.
The director of the police station who illegally sentenced Dafa practitioners
to forced labor camps is Zhang Wuhui.
The policeman who was directly involved in arresting Dafa practitioners is
Miao Zhuang, (Clearwisdom.net reported about him before).
The phone number of the Frontier Defense Police Station is 86-411-7100234.
Cell phone numbers: 86-13052729017,
86-13500712317.
Cheng Qiang, a practitioner from Dalian Bay, was arrested when he distributed
Dafa truth-clarification materials in February 2002. It is unclear where he is
being detained. People who know the case, please provide detailed information.
Wang Shuai, a practitioner from Dalian City, was arrested by the Gan Jingzi
Police Station while distributing Dafa truth-clarification materials in December
2001. It is unclear where he is being detained. Kindhearted people, please pay
attention to his case.
16. [Guangdong Province] Several Falun Gong Practitioners Detained at the
Sanshui Forced Labor Camp Have Their Terms Extended for Not Giving up Their
Practice of Falun Gong
The following is information provided by an insider. In the Sanshui Forced
Labor Camp, practitioners whose terms have been extended for not giving up
cultivation include You Xianbang (original term was from December 2000 to
December 2001), Xie Hanzhu (original term was from December 1999 to December
2001), Ye Qiuan (original term was from February 2002 to February 2002), Huang
Yutian (original term was from February 2000 to February 2002), Hong Haoyuan
whose term is about due (original term was from March 2000 to March 2002), Chen
Siguo (original term was from April 2000 to April 2002). Upright people from all
walks of life, please pay attention to what is happening to them!
Falun Gong practitioners Dai Yongmei, Mai Chenying and Chen Yingqi, who were
detained at the Sanshui Female Forced Labor Camp, have been illegally detained
for an extra 8 months for not giving up their beliefs. In November 2001, they
were transferred from the Sanshui Female Forced Labor Camp to Shaoguan Female
Prison. The police at the Sanshui Female Forced Labor Camp said that they were
sentenced to prison to be reformed. Kindhearted and upright people from all
walks of life, please pay attention to what is happening to them!
Zhou Jielan, who was formerly an assistant at the Luoding Falun Dafa
Assistance Center went awry and accepted brainwashing. Her phone number at her
Luoding residence is: 86-766-3827087. She is now staying at Zhaoqing, and her
phone number is: 86-758-2986221. Overseas practitioners, please help her.
17. [Tongzhou District, Beijing] Practitioner Yang Huirong Illegally Arrested
One night in early March 2002, police officer Jiao and other policemen of
Tongzhou District in Beijing broke into practitioner Yang Huirong's home and
illegally arrested her.
Yang is determined in cultivating Dafa and had been forced to become homeless
for over a year to avoid being arrested. The local police had forced her family
members to lead the way to Sanhe, Su County, Changzhou and other places to
search for her, but were unsuccessful. Persecuting her has brought calamities to
ordinary people. Once, when a police officer was waiting somewhere in an attempt
to seize her, an old woman passed by, and the police officer jumped out and
threw himself upon the old woman. Shortly after, he realized that she was not
Yang Huirong, but the old woman had already been so startled that she became
incontinent.
Before the police illegally arrested Yang, they sent Yang's daughter, Liu
Ying, and another practitioner, Zhou Hongyun, to the Seniors Center in Tongzhou
District. The police subjected them to the forced brainwashing classes that they
had set up there.
The phone number of the Politics and Security Section of the Public Security
Bureau in Tongzhou District is: 86-10-69555950.
18. [Xiantao City, Hubei Province] Police Openly Broadcast on TV: Rewards
Will Be Given for Reporting Dafa Practitioners
As a result of the "Hubei Falun Dafa Day," practitioners in Xiantao
City, Hubei Province stepped forward to clarify the truth in various ways and
save people. They distributed Dafa truth-clarifying flyers, posted Dafa
materials, distributed CDs, and hung up Dafa banners, which powerfully
overwhelmed the evil.
The police were very scared. They made the rounds 24 hours a day and sent
people everywhere to wait to seize practitioners. The police station decided
that they must arrest the practitioners who make the truth-clarifying materials,
but the evil's plots are not effective at all in the face of the powerful
righteous thoughts of practitioners. Finally, after exhausting their whole bag
of tricks, they incessantly broadcast on TV their order and notice: "Report
one Falun Gong practitioner, and you will be rewarded 300 Yuan; seize one
practitioner who posts Dafa materials or distributes Dafa flyers, and you will
be rewarded 1000 Yuan." However, due to the practitioners' truth
clarification, more and more people have started awaken. No one cooperated with
the evil.
19. [Weifang City, Shandong Province] Falun Gong Practitioner Zhu Tianfu from
Cheliu Township, Fangzi District Illegally Arrested
At around 9:00 a.m. on March 3, 2002, when practitioner Zhu Tianfu was doing
some work around the house, suddenly a group of police from the Cheliu Township
Police Station jumped over the fence and broke into his house. Without showing a
warrant, the police forcibly arrested him. Now Zhu is being illegally detained
in the Fangzi Detention Center, and his family members are not allowed to visit
him. This was planned and directed by Wang Quanfeng, the wicked person who
persecutes Dafa practitioners in the Fangzi District. We call for the help and
attention of international organizations and people of goodwill.
