Practitioners Nearly 20 well-known Dafa practitioners have been arrested. Some
practitioners' families were not notified even 24 hours after they were
detained. Some families asked the police about the practitioners' whereabouts
after they got confirmed evidence of the practitioners' detentions, but the

Over 60 Practitioners A practitioner from Changchun City was arrested recently. Then the cellular
phones of several practitioners who contacted him/her were monitored. Between

far from Changchun City. The police authority dispatched a director to Yushu
City and started a large-scale raid. The identities of those who had practiced Falun Gong at one time or another
were verified, and their houses were searched. As long as a practitioner said he
was still practicing, he would be arrested. If five pieces of Dafa
truth-clarifying material, a truth VCD or a Dafa book were found at a person's
home, then that person would be sentenced to imprisonment. Several practitioners
stayed at home but they refused to open their doors. Lawless policemen even
pried the doors open and forcibly took the practitioners away. Over 60
practitioners in total were arrested. Two practitioners are still being
detained. More than 20 practitioners were transferred to a detention center.
Many practitioners were forced to go into exile to live. [Zibo City, Shandong Province] Illegal Arrest of Five Dafa Practitioners on

During March 2002 At the beginning of March, after Mr. Wen Jitao returned from Harbin City, he
was arrested because he refused to disclose what he had done in Harbin City. On March 12, a person reported Mr. Ding Jun to the police when he was

that, another practitioner Meng Jun, who had been out-of-town, was also arrested
and sent back. At about 10:00 p.m. on March 20, Ms. Zhang Shengqiao was arrested, and many
truth-clarifying materials were confiscated. That same night, the returning

her husband burning truth-clarifying materials. He was illegally detained for 15
days. On March 24, Ms. Wang Yaru was arrested because a Dafa tape was found in her

Party Committee, has always been a leading persecutor of Dafa and practitioners.
During a recent meeting held regarding the persecution of Falun Gong, Chen
rampantly requested that officials should arrest practitioners at their work

reform them." He also said he was going to hold a brainwashing class and those
practitioners who didn't give up practice would be directly sent to a forced
labor camp. [Northeast China] A Colonel's Mother Goes to Beijing to Appeal Ms. Zhang, a practitioner from Northeast China, is the mother of a colonel.

Practitioners Recently, policemen in Panzhihua City had often harassed three practitioners
at their homes. In order to break through the evil force's arrangements, the
three practitioners were forced to leave home to avoid illegal arrest. While
they were distributing Dafa materials in a public park in another city, local
policemen kidnapped them. One of the practitioners was a 17-year-old girl and
the two others were a man and a woman in their fifties. Because they refused to
reveal the source of Dafa truth-clarifying materials, their names and residence,
the police are secretly detaining them in another place. Their whereabouts are
unknown. [Northwest China] Teacher Ms. Jia is Illegally Sentenced to Forced Labor When
Clarifying the Truth to Her Pupils A female teacher named Jia in a city in northwest China didn't want to see
innocent children being poisoned by the evil, so she clarified the truth to her
pupils and told them of the relentless persecution and brutal tortures against
Dafa practitioners. After they got to know the truth, the pupils clarified the
truth to their parents and relatives. But a parent who was poisoned by the
government propaganda wrote a letter to the provincial "610 Office" (An
agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute powers
over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and
judiciary systems). Recently, officials from the "610 Office" suddenly
arrived at the school. They first dismissed the principal and school director
from their posts and cancelled their Party memberships. Then they attempted to
arrest teacher Jia, but they failed. Jia's husband was terminally ill, and she
was not at the school. Several days later, this group of lawless police officers
returned and kidnapped teacher Jia, who is well respected by many children. It
was said that she was sentenced to one-and-a-half years of forced labor. [Southern China] Dafa Practitioners in a Certain City Hold a Medium-Scale Fa-Conference Recently, despite the evil's persecution, Dafa practitioners in a Southern

Stock" In the classroom of a medical university in Northeastern China, dozens of
students listened attentively to their professor lecturing in an anatomy class.
When talking about how to treat seriously wounded patients, the professor told a
story after which the students didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. "One day,
a hospital affiliated with our university received a patient with a serious stab
wound to the abdomen. The authorities claimed that this person was a Falun Gong
practitioner. Later, some news reporters arrived and were about to record this
scenario on video. The reporters found out from the patient's family members
that the patient was actually a psychotic and had attempted to commit suicide
several times before. As there were many people, their attempt to frame Falun
Gong failed and the reporters dejectedly left." [Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang City] Vile Persons and Their Vicious Deeds After July 20, Li Chunfa led some policemen from the Security Team to
arrest Dafa practitioners who had gone to Beijing. In mid-August, he escorted
Dafa practitioner Chen Ying back to Jiamusi City and caused her to jump off
the train to avoid the illegal arrest. Sadly, Ms. Chen was killed as a result.
Li Chunfa didn't learn a lesson from this and continued to look upon
practitioners with hatred. On October 8, 2000, he persecuted practitioner Mr.
Li Guo, who was a Security Team policeman at the Jiangshang Police Precinct,
by trying to force him to give up his belief in Falun Gong and write the
so-called "Revelation Statement." He also had people open Mr. Li Guo's locker
in the office, and confiscated Zhuan Falun and another Dafa book. He
even asked Li to resign from the Party and from his work. Under Li Chunfa's
urging, the police department made the decision to fire Mr. Li Guo. Telephone numbers of the vile persons related to these matters: Song Jinhe, director of Jiamusi City's Police Department:
011-86-454-8298001; Li Shuqing, deputy director of Jiamusi City's Police Department: 011-
86-454-8298006; Hu Guohua, chief of Jiamusi City's Security Section: 011- 86-454-8224587. Posting date: 4/6/2002
