[Beijing] All Large Hotels Ordered to Search and Arrest Western Dafa Practitioners Coming to Appeal for Falun Gong and Clarify the Truth

All large hotels in Beijing were ordered to search and arrest western Dafa practitioners coming to appeal for Falun Gong and clarify the truth. Some western practitioners were immediately reported and taken away because they wore clothes having Dafa symbols or had Dafa flags in their hand. Western practitioners: please be vigilant for your safety, send forth righteous thoughts, and don't be easily taken away. In addition, policemen are patrolling in the subways and on the streets. Western practitioners: please use more rationality and wisdom when distributing Dafa materials along the streets in Beijing in order to have a more successful journey in China.

[Anlu City, Hubei Province] Dafa Practitioner Pan Deqing Beaten for Refusing to Be Force-fed - Needs 17 Stitches on His Head for a Cut

After Dafa practitioner Mr. Pan Deqing from Anlu City of Hubei Province went to Beijing to validate Dafa, police arrested him and took him to the local detention center. Since then he has been on a hunger strike without food or water for more than 20 days. During the abuse, lawless policemen brutally beat Mr. Pan Deqing to the point of losing consciousness because he resisted the inhuman force-feeding. He was then sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Even though his head required 17 stitches, Mr. Pan was thrown back into the detention center. Policemen ignored his injuries completely. Mr. Pan Deqing is very weak right now. At present, more than 20 other practitioners are being detained at the detention center. They have all been tortured. Fellow practitioners, please send forth righteous thoughts to help them.

[Anlu City, Suizhou City, Hubei Province] Falun Gong Truth-Clarifying Material Centers Destroyed

Police successively destroyed Falun Gong material centers in Anlu City and Suizhou City in Hubei Province.

[Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province] Officials Circulate Rumors to Mislead People and Relentlessly Arrest Falun Gong Practitioners

At noon on April 19, policemen and plainclothes officers guarded each exit of Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province to check all departing vehicles. They claimed that a murderer had escaped from Harbin City to Shuangcheng City, but this was a ruse concocted to make illegal arrests of three Dafa practitioners who were on their "wanted list."

At 7:00 p.m. on April 19, over 1,000 people, including all the personnel dispatched from the judiciary systems and each street and residential administrative committee in Shuangcheng City, as well as over 500 riot police from Harbin City, blocked off all major streets in Shuangcheng City to relentlessly arrest Dafa practitioners. All passersby were required to show their ID cards.

We have discovered that dozens of Dafa practitioners have been illegally arrested. In addition, one computer was destroyed and two cable TV transmitters used for broadcasting the truth of Falun Gong were confiscated. The abuse and mistreatment of practitioners are still continuing. We call on the international community and kind-hearted people to help us stop the Jiang/Luo regime that is perpetrating national terrorism activities against Falun Gong practitioners.

The evils also spread a rumor to the citizenry that "Falun Gong practitioners will kill children." Some deceived parents rushed to school to make sure that their children were OK. This was carefully plotted and organized by the national and provincial police departments.

[Jiangsu Province] Those from Taixing Village Who Are Creating False Rumors: We Are on to You!

[Changsha City, Hunan Province] List of Crimes Committed by Perpetrators in Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp and Their Names

1.

Deng Xiaoxiong, Commissar of Changsha City's Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp, Hunan Province

Gao LiGuo, Director of Changsha City's Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp, Hunan Province

These two men unreasonably extended the detention terms of Dafa practitioners who were illegally put into the labor camp. For example, for those Dafa practitioners who didn't give up the practice of Dafa within three months of detention, their terms would be extended by one month. For those practitioners who didn't give up within one year, their terms would be extended by three months. One Dafa practitioner's term was extended by two months just because he shouted at a meeting, "Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa." After practitioners' detention terms expired, the authorities still refused to release them. They also did not release those who they thought were not "thoroughly transformed." If a family member is also a practitioner, he would not be allowed to visit the imprisoned practitioner. They dispatched prisoners to tightly monitor practitioners around the clock and completely deprive Dafa practitioners of their personal freedom. Furthermore, they had Dafa practitioners' bodies and belongings searched every month.

2.

Xie Yaping, former instructor of No.5 Division of Changsha City's Xinkapu Forced Labor Camp, Hunan Province

Gao, a former policeman of No.5 Division of Changsha City's Xinkapu Forced Labor Camp, Hunan Province.

In order to complete the brainwashing task assigned by the forced labor camp, Xie Yaping and Gao tried to make Dafa practitioners give in by a variety of cruel ways. They forced Dafa practitioners to work seventeen or eighteen hours a day and also asked drug addict inmates to closely monitor practitioners. Dafa practitioners were forced to keep working without rest until they finished the tasks.

3.

Li Meng, policeman of the 7.28 Division

Chief Wen, assistant instructor of the 7.28 Division

Chief Gao, policeman of the 7.28 Division (used to be a policeman of the No.5 Division)

Chief Zhou, policeman of the 7.28 Division

They slandered Dafa and tried to brainwash Dafa practitioners. They often tried to force Falun Gong practitioners to write the so-called "repentance statement," "criticizing statement," and "thought reports."

[Yongzhou City, Hunan Province] Political and Security Section Authorities from Zhishan District Illegally Send Dozens of Dafa Practitioners to a Forced Labor Camp

Yang Wu, chief of the Political and Security Section of Zhishan District's Police Department, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province

Tang, deputy chief of the Political and Security Section of Zhishan District's Police Department, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province

Since July 20, 1999, these individuals often followed Dafa practitioners, searched their houses and fined them. On July 17, 2000, in order to prevent Dafa practitioners from going to Beijing to appeal, they illegally detained practitioners for 7 to 15 days with the excuse that they had "disturbed the social order." They also lied to practitioners' families, saying that they only held a so-called "study class." They illegally sent dozens of practitioners from Zhishan District, Yongzhou City to forced labor camp. They are offering a large amount of money as a reward to arrest the Dafa practitioners who are living in exile.
