(Clearwisdom.net) 1. [China] Dafa Practitioners in Different Areas are Supporting Practitioners in Changchun, Jilin
Province with Their Actions of Thoroughly Clarifying The Truth to More People 2. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Practitioner Fang Longchao has been Illegally Detained since 1999
for Legal Appeals Fang Longchao is a 41 years old male practitioner in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. Fang is a
college graduate, and he used to work as an engineer at the Yangtze River Hydro-conservancy
Committee. Fang went twice to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong after July 20, 1999, and in both
cases, he was arrested by the police and sent back to Wuhan. On September 10, 1999, the persecutors
started to detain Fang. On September 16, the Public Security Bureau imprisoned Fang under the name
of "monitored housing." On November 18, 1999, the Jiangan District Court illegally
sentenced Fang Longchao to 3 years in prison. Fang refused to accept the court decision, and he
said, "Appealing for help is a citizen's lawful right entrusted by China's constitution; what
crime have I committed?" However, the Wuhan City Intermediate People's Court rejected his
appeal and upheld the original sentence. On July 21, 2000, the perpetrators put Fang into Fanjiatai
Prison in Shayang (Hubei Province). Because Fang Longchao refused to give up his cultivation, the perpetrators brutally tortured him
mentally and physically during his detention: they handcuffed him, did not allow him to sleep, and
force-fed him when he went on hunger strikes. The prison guards also put him outdoors during cold
weather, and instigated other inmates to beat and monitor him 24 hours a day. Currently, Fang
Longchao is still detained in Fanjiatai Prison, yet the details of his condition are not known. We
call for all kind-hearted people to pay attention to Fang's case. In addition, under the severe mental and physical torture, Fang was "transformed" while
his mind was not clear. Now he solemnly declares that all the things he wrote and said because of
the torture are completely void, and he will continue to cultivate Dafa firmly. At the same time, he
proposed another appeal to the higher court: 1. The "charge" against him is not tenable.
2. The so-called "delinquent account" is not tenable. 3. [Bengfu, Anhui Province] Some Facts about the Persecution of 4 Dafa Practitioners in Bengfu
Railroad Sub-bureau 4. [Anshan City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioner Li Peisheng Arrested again Practitioner Li Peisheng was arrested for no reason two years ago. The perpetrators sent Li to a
forced labor camp and kept him/her there for two years. Since Li firmly refused to give up
cultivation, the perpetrators extended his/her term. Around time of the Spring Festival of 2002, Li
was released. However, the police suddenly arrested him again last week and sent him to a
"brainwashing class." 5. [Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province] Dafa Practitioner Zhong Yifang was Illegally Sentenced to
18 Months in a Forced Labor Camp Zhong Yifang is a female practitioner in her 40's. In April 2002, Zhong was reported by someone
while she was clarifying the truth to people. The perpetrators detained her for a month and extorted
money from her. Later on, the police went to her home again to harass her. Zhong refuse to open the
door, so the police tried to get into her home through the balcony. Zhong clarified the truth to her
neighbors; seeing that the neighbors came to know about their wrongdoing, the police retreated. In
July 2001, the perpetrators sent Zhong to a "brainwashing class" at Nanmusi Forced Labor
Camp in Zizhong, and then illegally sentenced her to 18 months in a labor camp. 6. [Northeast China] Righteous Thoughts Eliminate Pictures that Slander Dafa In the square in front of the city government building, there were some pictures that slandered
Dafa. Because the local practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts together, the pictures have been
destroyed. 7. [Lushan County, Guangxi Province] Practitioner Chen Junsong was Illegally Arrested and Sent to
a "Brainwashing Class" Recently, practitioner Chen Junsong was sent to Yulin, Guangxi Province, where he was persecuted
in a "brainwashing class." 8.

[Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] The "Transformation" Harms Everyone Involved In a forced labor camp in Shenyang City, there used to be an "assisting group" [a
group formed by people who used to cultivate Dafa, but have enlightened along evil paths and help
the perpetrators to "brainwash" Dafa practitioners.] of 40 to 50 people. However, many
of the people inside the group have started to cultivate Dafa again, and the directors of the labor
camp are worrying that they could not meet the expectation from their superiors. During the Spring Festival of 2002, Li Jianquan was sent to the labor camp. Li is a male is his
30's. He was arrested in Inner Mongolia and sent back to Shenyang. It was said that this man was
"transformed" on the second day of the "brainwashing class." The guards of the
labor camp were very happy and immediately held a "blessing ceremony" for Li Jianquan.
During the ceremony, the police guards praised and applauded Li. However, a few hours later, Li went
into a lethargic sleep, after which he became mentally ill. He started to talk nonsense, and his
condition grew worse as time went by. The "assistants" and guards then tortured him with
more efforts, beat him, and shocked him with electric batons. His cries of misery could be heard
continuously. The incident alarmed everyone in the labor camp. A wicked officer named Shi said to his
directors, "This is a case of complete transformation." Ridiculously, the directors
agreed. We can see from this example that the "transformation" is actually
"transforming" good people to bad people, "transforming" normal people into
insane people. 10. [Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] The Wicked Deeds of Policeman Li Fuquan Li Fuquan is a male in his 50's. Li is the Chief at Toudaohe Police Station in Yi County (Jinzhou
City, Liaoning Province). Since July 20, 1999, Li Fuquan has closely followed Jiang's regime in
persecuting Dafa and Dafa practitioners, actively executing Jiang's policy of "cutting off
their economic resources." At the end of Oct. 1999, some Dafa practitioners went to Beijing to appeal. After they returned
the perpetrators fined each of them 2000 Yuan. [Chinese dollars. The average monthly salary of an
urban worker in China is about 500 Yuan, but only 200 Yuan for a rural worker.] There were two
families in which all three members of the family went to Beijing to appeal, and both families were
extorted almost 10,000 Yuan each. Those practitioners (about 30 people) who did not go to Beijing
were extorted 200 Yuan each, under the guise of "guarantee money," totaling about 7,000
Yuan. Throughout 2001, Li Fuquan became more irrational; he arrested the related practitioners and
fined them whenever he heard some "information." When he could not get money from the
practitioners, he sent them to forced labor camps. In September 2001, a Dafa practitioner went to
Beijing to validate Dafa. The practitioner was arrested, and later released unconditionally. Li
thought that the practitioner would send money and goods to him. In October, when the practitioner
came, Li sent the practitioner to a forced labor camp. On January 1, 2001, another practitioner went
to Beijing. After the practitioner returned, someone reported him/her to Li. In order to threaten
more Dafa practitioners, Li Fuquan wanted to arrest the practitioner. As a result, the practitioner
was forced to become homeless to avoid being persecuted. Yet Li threatened the practitioner's family
members many times, causing the practitioner's grandmother to become very sick. The old lady almost
died. In the past several years, police officer Li Fuquan extorted about 60,000 Yuan from dozens of
Dafa practitioners and sent two practitioners to forced labor camps. Two more practitioners were
forced to become homeless to avoid his persecution. Toudaohe Police Station: 86-416-7603013 The Toudaohe Township Government: 86-416-7601014 |
