1. [China] Central Government Propaganda Department Orders All Radio and TV
Units to Fire All Employees who Practice Falun Gong
On the day after the Changchun cable TV network incident, the Central
Government Propaganda Department gave an urgent order to TV and radio stations
all over the country: "Fire all Falun Gong practitioners currently employed."
The Central Government Propaganda Department also took some other actions in
trying to prevent similar incidents from happening.
On March 28, there was a piece of news on CCTV suggesting that viewers call
and report any signal problem to this publicized number: 010-86091111. In many
places, police hide near cable TV amplifiers and keep watch. The evil is scared
of being exposed, and they are now very fragile.
Jiang's Regime has continued the persecution of Falun Gong with their lies
and deceptive methods. What the perpetrators fear most is the truth of the
persecution being revealed to the public. Furious that his evil deeds were so
broadly exposed, Jiang took extreme, violent measures against Dafa practitioners
in Changchun, trying to stop their courageous acts of exposing the evil and
saving people. We think that by effectively exposing the lies and clarifying the
truth on a broader scale all over the world, we can strongly support the
practitioners in Changchun and further eliminate the evil.
2. [China] Employee of National Security Department: "You May Tell People
That The 'Self Immolation' in Tiananmen Is A Hoax."
In a big city of North China, some officers from the National Security
Department said to some practitioners after arresting them: "You may go on the
street and clarify the truth to people by word of mouth; you may say that Jiang
is bad, and the 'self immolation' in Tiananmen Square is a hoax. As long as you
don't have the materials on you, then there is no evidence that you did anything
illegal, and you will save us a lot of trouble." What they mean is that if there
is no evidence, they don't have to arrest the practitioners. Of course, the
practitioners will do better in clarifying the truth from the perspective of
saving people (not necessarily following the suggestion of the officer); yet the
officer's words indicate that some of the law-enforcement people really don't
want to help Jiang in the persecution, nor arrest the practitioners any more.
3. [Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province] Exposing The Wicked Deeds in "Guizilou"
Building
"Guizilou" is the nickname of an office building of the Longsha District
Police Department. The cruelty of the police in the building is well known to
the local people. In the persecution of benevolent Dafa practitioners, their
cruel and wicked nature was further revealed.
Practitioner Zhang Min (alias) is a government official in Qiqihar City. For
his firm belief in Dafa, Zhang was brutally tortured in "Guizilou." The police
guards hung him upside down in the air. The rope was fixed on a frame above, so
that Zhang was like a swing. The perpetrators pushed him back and forth, beating
the lower part of his body and his genitals. Zhang's genital area was badly
swollen as a result. Seeing that Zhang still refused to give in, the
perpetrators forced the spoke from a bicycle wheel into Zhang's genitals,
laughing wickedly.
4. [Fucheng County, Hebei Province] After Torturing Practitioner Liu Qiusheng
to Death, The Police Continued to Persecute Liu's Family Members
The Public Security Department of Fucheng County, Hebei Province illegally
arrested practitioner Liu Qiusheng from his home on February 10, 2002. They
brutally tortured Liu for over 10 days until his death around February 24, after
which they illegally dissected Liu's corpse and then illegally and without
permission, cremated it.
Asking that justice be served, Liu's mother and younger sister (both are
practitioners) went to appeal in Beijing. The Public Security Department of
Fucheng County arrested them and sent them back to a brainwashing center in
Fucheng County, where they are still detained at this time. We hope that all
Dafa practitioners who have seen this message will send forth righteous thoughts
to eliminate the evil persecution against them, so that they can be released
soon.
5. [Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Practitioner Lan Qizhi Has Been
Detained at Zhengding County Detention Center for 6 Months
Lan Qizhi is a 37-year-old female Dafa practitioner. She used to work at the
Chuyun Cooperative in Shijiazhuang City. Lan was kidnapped on the night of
September 28, 2001; no one knows where she has been since. It was said that she
has been under detention at Zhengding County Detention Center since November
2001.
6. [China] A Dafa Practitioner Was Illegally Detained for Putting Up A Poem
During The Spring Festival
In a city in north China, a Dafa practitioner put up a poem on the door of
his/her home. The police illegally arrested the practitioner for doing that. The
perpetrators detained the practitioner at a drug detoxification center, where
the practitioner went on a hunger strike to protest against the persecution. The
practitioner was later released. The antithetical couplet is:
First scroll: Going through countless tribulations in Dafa Cultivation.
Second scroll: Happily welcome the spring after eliminating the evil.
Streamer: Fa rectifies the cosmos
7. [Beijing] The "610" Office Has Created Another Policy of "Forceful
Brainwashing"
According to the inside news, the "610" Office in Beijing has created another
policy to further persecute Dafa practitioners: Forcing the practitioners who
have been released from forced labor camps to renounce Dafa again. [Note: The
"610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with
absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other
political and judiciary systems] The perpetrators plan to put those
practitioners who refuse to renounce Dafa into brainwashing classes. They plan
to sentence those who still refuse to give up their cultivation after the
brainwashing class to 2 years in a forced labor camp. Currently, the persecutors
in all districts and counties of Beijing have started to carry out this policy.
8. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] The Brutal Persecution of Dafa Practitioners
in Hewan Forced Labor Camp
The No. 6 Team (4th floor, Group No. 2) of Hewan Forced Labor Camp is also
called the "Team from Hell." Headed by Zhang Yi and Gao Junan, the guards of the
team conjured up schemes to persecute the practitioners. They used a tough drug
addict named Cai Bin as the head of the inmates. Four other inmates, Yin
Shaogang, Yang Wei, Li Qizhong, and Peng Zhiwei formed a group with Cai Bin.
Under the instigation from guards Zhang and Gao (promising to dramatically
reduce their terms), the five people brutally tortured Dafa practitioners.
The five inmates torture and physically punish practitioners 24 hours a day
and do not allow them to rest. Many practitioners were tortured many times in a
single day. Sometimes the five people surrounded one practitioner and beat him
up, slapping his face at will. Some practitioners' backs were seriously injured,
and they could not walk; some practitioners' feet were badly swollen; some had
black eyes; some practitioners heads were knocked against the wall; some were
badly hurt in the chest, and they could not even cough; some practitioners'
necks were pinched and burnt to the point of blistering; some were forced to
their knees. In the cold winter, when it was snowing hard outside, the five
people forced Dafa practitioners to take cold showers in the cold wind, making
them shiver all over. They also used other cruel ways to torture the
practitioners: they did not allow the practitioners to use the restroom during
the day, and when practitioners went to use the restroom at night, they claimed
that the practitioners were trying to escape, and then beat them up. For using
the restroom during the day, guard Gao Junan beat a practitioner so hard that
the practitioner was seriously injured, and he lay on the ground unable to move.
Gao also pulled some practitioners ears and dragged them around. The painful
tortures lasted for over 180 days.
9. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Dafa Practitioner Li Ming Illegally Kidnapped
by the Local "610 Office"
Li Ming is a female practitioner in her 40s. Around 11 p.m. on February 7,
2002, several people from the local police and the Wuchang District "610 Office"
arrested Li and put her into the Yangyuan Brainwashing Class, where she has been
detained since then. Li Ming's family members are not allowed to visit her.
10. [Jinchang City, Gansu Province] Police Kidnap Several Dafa Practitioners
For going out of town to take care of her daughter, practitioner Wei Anyu was
illegally arrested by the local police. Since December 2001, Wei has been under
detention at Jinchang City Detention Center and Jinchuan Cooperation Drug
Detoxification Center. Right now, she is being forced to attend a brainwashing
class at the detoxification center.
Li Dexiang is also a female practitioner in Jinchang City. Because she firmly
refused to give up her cultivation, the police illegally ransacked her home and
arrested her before the spring festival. Li was then detained at Jinchang City
Detention Center. Li Dexiang had just been released from Pingantai Forced Labor
Camp one month before her recent arrest. Li's husband is mentally ill, and she
has two mentally disabled sons. The three were left at home with no one to take
care of them.
Female practitioner Zhao Fenglian's situation was very similar: Because she
would not give up her cultivation, the police illegally ransacked her home and
arrested her before the spring festival. Zhao had just been released from
Pingantai Forced Labor Camp one week before her recent arrest. Her husband is
also a practitioner, and was illegally sent to Pingantai Forced Labor Camp in
November 2001.
A man named Shi and his wife (both practitioners) were arrested before the
spring festival. Their whereabouts are unknown. Some police have been seen
hiding in their home, yet the perpetrators did not get what they wanted.
11. [Guiyang City, Guizhou Province] Tearing off The Hypocritical Mask of The
Brainwashing Classes
At the Brainwashing classes held at Yunyan and Nanming District in Guiyang
City, the perpetrators were nice to the practitioners on the surface. They did
not force the practitioners to do many things. However, when some practitioners
lowered their guard, the perpetrators suddenly sent them to Zhongba Forced Labor
Camp. At this time, 4 practitioners including Shen Liping and Xu Xueying have
been sent to the labor camp.
12. [Beijing] Eliminate The Perpetrators' Network Blockade
Two Dafa practitioners from Beijing learned from the owner of an Internet
cafe recently that the National Security Department and Public Security
Department has tightened their control over the Internet. They took away the
computers in the Internet cafes (and even computers of some work units) and
checked the websites that the users have been visiting on every computer. They
used the "sensitive contents" as evidence to make arrests. It was said that the
method would be used in other places too. The owner of the Internet cafe was
indignant, and yet, was helpless.
13. [Huidong County, Guangdong Province] The Local "610 Office" Put Many
Practitioners into Brainwashing Class
The perpetrators in Huidong County have been wildly persecuting Dafa
practitioners for the past two years. They have detained over 30 practitioners
and sent them to the brainwashing classes in Huizhou City. Five practitioners
were sentenced to a forced labor camp. In January 2002, the police illegally
arrested practitioner Kuang Jianping again, and Kuang has been detained since
then. On March 7, 2002, they arrested practitioner Ma Yuying at home and sent Ma
to the brainwashing class in Huizhou City.
The worst perpetrators include:
Liu Guosheng (Vice Director of Huidong County "610 Office") (cell)
86-13829966777
Li Xiaoming (Vice Chief of Huidong County Police Department)
Ye (Pingshan Town "610 Office") 86-752-8813286 (office)
14. [Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioners in Jinzhou District
Were Kidnapped--They Have Protested With a Hunger Strike For Almost 50 Days
Practitioner Hou Chunli and her mother (also a practitioner) had their home
surrounded by many officials from Jinzhou District Police Department on February
8, 2002. Refusing to cooperate with the persecution, the two practitioners did
not open the door. The next day, the perpetrators broke into their home through
a window and kidnapped the practitioners, then detained them at Jinzhou
Detention Center. The mother and daughter went on hunger strike in protest
against the persecution. Because Hou's mother was in critical condition, she was
released first; Hou has been on hunger strike for almost 50 days in the
detention center. We hope that all people with a sense of justice can extend
their support and rescue Hou Chunli.
15. [Beijing] A Truth-Clarifying Material Production Site in Changping Was
Destroyed; Five Dafa Practitioners Were Arrested
In December 2001, the perpetrators destroyed a truth-clarifying material
production site in Dongxiaokou Town (Changping) and arrested 5 female Dafa
practitioners. Under tremendous pressure, 1 of the 5 practitioners gave in to
the torture, and was forced to give information to the perpetrators. Another two
practitioners (Zhuang Xianghong and Kou Yuhuan) refused to cooperate with the
persecutors. Zhuang is detained at the Seventh Division of the Beijing Police
Department, and Kou is detained at the Changping District Detention Center.
16. [Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province] Practitioner Qi Xiulan Suffered
Relentless Persecution
Qi Xiulan is a female practitioner who used to work as an accountant at the
computer center of the Agricultural Academy of Science. Qi was arrested for
appealing in Beijing in September 1999. The perpetrators detained her at the
local liaison office in Beijing before her work unit took her back to Jiamusi
City. A Department Chief named Sun ordered police officer Han Shuqi and Jiang
Yusheng (director of "610 Office" at the Agricultural Academy of Science) to
have Qi Xiulan sent to Baoquanling Detention Center, where she was detained for
23 days and they extorted 476 Yuan from her as "food expense and management
fees." Qi's work unit laid her off and refused to give her the year-end bonus.
In February 2000, Qi Xiulan went to Beijing to appeal. Police arrested her and
sent her back, then policeman Wang (from Nanwei Police Station), officer Zhang
Zhiguo and Chen Yongde illegally sent her to a detention center. Qi was held in
the detention center for 97 days and was extorted out of 300 Yuan as so-called
"food expenses." In February 2001, some persecutors in Jiadong Police Station
tricked her into going to the police station. From there she was sent to a
detention center again. Qi Xiulan was detained again for 71 days and extorted
out of 600 Yuan, again as so-called food expenses. Jiamusi City Police
Department extorted 3000 Yuan from her, and Jiadong Police Station extorted over
600 Yuan from her.
The perpetrators include:
Song Zhaohua, director of the computer center at the Agricultural Academy of
Science (Song was dismissed from the post in 2001). Song refused to give Qi
Xiulan her year-end bonus and did not arrange work for Qi. Song also forced Qi
to report to him/her when leaving her home. Song's numbers are: 86-454-8359382
(Home), 86-13803656862 (cell)
Jiang Yusheng, director of the "610 Office" of Agricultural Academy of
Science. Jiang led the police into Qi Xiulan's home, harassing and illegally
arresting her many times. 86-454-8359120 (Office), 86-454-8359289 (Home)
Song Jihong, an office manager in Qi's work unit. In May 2001, while Qi was
not at home, her husband had a sudden heart attack. Seeing that he was seriously
ill, the work unit's doctor suggested to Song that Qi's husband be sent to a
hospital. Yet Song refused simply because Qi is a Falun Gong practitioner. Song
also said that she would not let Qi come back to work unless she wrote a
"guarantee letter." Song's number: Office phone: 86-454-8359120, 86-454-8359247.
Zhuang Shulong, vice chief of Jianan Police Station, led some police guards
to Qi's home and harassed her many times. They also illegally followed Qi and
forcefully searched her bag. Office phone: 86-454-8350276.
17. [Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang province] Crimes Committed by Policeman Shao
Fuxiang
Shao Fuxiang is a policeman at Zhongshan Police Station, Qianjin Police
Substation. Shao took the lead in persecuting Dafa practitioners every time. On
the morning of March 6, practitioner Sun Libin was illegally arrested and cuffed
on a chair by the police. Shao Fuxiang and some other police guards took the
keys of Sun's home and ransacked her place, taking away valuables like tape
recorders and VCD players. The perpetrators made a mess of Sun's home. They also
tried to force Sun to stomp on Teacher's picture. When Sun refused, they tried
to force her to do that by grabbing her feet. In the struggle, Sun's pants were
ripped open. The wicked police also put Teacher's picture on the chair and
forced Sun to sit on it. They also locked Sun to an iron chair and put her in
the center of a room. To date, Sun's family members are still not allowed to
visit her.
18. [Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] A Former Practitioner Went Astray and
Now Persecutes Practitioners
Qi Jingwei is a 34-year-old female who works at the Guomao Building in
Shijiazhuang City. In September 2000, Qi was illegally sentenced to 2 years in a
forced labor camp. Inside the No. 4 Group of Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp, Qi
Jingwei "enlightened" along an evil path and became a collaborator with the
persecutors. After her release in July 2001, Qi helped to persecute
practitioners in many brainwashing classes. She even deceitfully tricked her own
mother into the brainwashing center in Shijiazhuang City, where the old woman
was tortured mentally and physically.
Qi's phone number (her mother's home): 86-311-5652931
