(Clearwisdom.net) [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Shenyang City's Police Department Is Attempting to Eradicate
Dafa Material Sites Recently, Shenyang City's Police Department in Liaoning Province dispatched large numbers of
policemen, transferred from the police substations in various districts, for a specific task. They
were to concentrate on a search for Dafa material sites and Dafa practitioners in the Dadong
District and the Shenhe District. During the day, they patrolled intersections and small residential
districts. At night, the community officials, cooperating with the police, searched the rental
houses. They showed people their identifications, saying that they were on a special mission. They
were actually searching for the Dafa material sites and for Falun Gong practitioners who made
truth-clarifying materials, so that they could arrest, brainwash, and torture them. [Beijing City] Falun Dafa Practitioner Jiang Jianxue Is Arrested On January 10, Beijing Dafa practitioner Jiang Jianxue was reported to police, because he was
clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa to students. The police illegally arrested him. His
whereabouts are currently unknown. [Beijing] In Order to Reach Their Goal of "Killing One As a Warning to a Hundred,"
Police in Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp Intensified Their Persecution of Steadfast Dafa
Practitioners As a threat to several steadfast Dafa practitioners, officials at the Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp
fabricated various crimes and meted out heavy punishment to a number of practitioners, so that they
would serve as an example to the others. In November, police used "possession of Teacher's
articles" as the excuse for sending Dafa practitioner Li Jinsheng, who was held in Team 1, to
the "intensified training team" for more severe persecution for over a month. Xu Zijun,
from Team 2, was also charged with nebulous crimes including "resisting reform," and
"causing trouble for the doctors." Using these charges, the police sent Gong Qian to the
intensified training team twice for persecution for one month and then again for two months. Both
Jin Hongguang and Qian Shiguang from Team 3 were held in the intensified training team for two
months. Liu Wei from Team 3 and Zhang Xiangyu from Team 7 were held in the intensified training team
for one month. Undaunted, the Dafa practitioners used their righteous thoughts and righteous actions
to firmly refuse to accept the evil's persecution. [Beijing] Dafa Practitioner Zhang Jiuhai from Pinggu County, Beijing, Is Persecuted in Tuanhe
Forced Labor Camp Zhang Jiuhai is a resident of Xinggong Village, Liudian Town, Pinggu County, Beijing. In August
2002, he was arrested for the second time. After being held in Team 5 of the Tuanhe Forced Labor
Camp, he was sent to the intensified training team, where they tied him up. Zhang went on a hunger
strike to protest. Other Dafa practitioners, who labored outside, could always see Zhang Jiuhai when
the police and prisoners escorted him with blue belts tied around his body to the infirmary for
force-feeding. In mid-October, the head of the labor camp made a phone call to the intensified
training team, saying, "If Zhang Jiuhai still refuses to eat, all the people including the
prisoners will not be allowed to have meals either." He intentionally aroused the prisoners'
resentment and stirred up hatred toward Zhang. The supervisor of Team 5 did not send Zhang Jiuhai
his belongings or clothing for a long time. Zhang Jiuhai was not even given enough clothing to
endure the severe weather. The guards at Team 5 didn't send Zhang his clothing until he had been on
a hunger strike to protest this treatment for over one month. [Xinxiang Area, Henan Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Xue Qingfang Is Arrested On January 9, 2003, police arrested Dafa practitioner Xue Qingfang. She had been living away from
home in order to avoid arrest, but went back to her home in the Xinxiang Area, Henan Province to
fetch something. She was then arrested at home.
