(Clearwisdom.net) [Northern China] Validating Dafa in the Courtroom Earlier this year, a Falun Dafa practitioner was being publicly tried in a
northern city in China. The practitioner nobly defended himself with a speech
full of wisdom and facts. He exposed the evils and clarified the truth of Falun
Dafa, leaving the judge and court officials unable to think of a way to respond
or refute him. The judge eventually postponed the trial. After the courtroom
spectators had all left, five Chinese characters were found on the back of every
seat that said, "Falun Dafa is good!" One can easily imagine what a
shocking sight that must have been for the courtroom spectators. Since then, no
public trials of Falun Dafa practitioners have taken place in that city. [Qingdao City, Shandong Province] Practitioner Zhang Wanxia Illegally
Detained Recently, the combined efforts of the "610 Offices"* of the
Licang District of Qingdao City, the Politics & Law Committee and the local
police illegally detained Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Wanxia. Licang District "610 Office" phone: 86-532-7610610 [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Practitioner Wei Jie Trapped Inside Her
Home; Surrounded by Police Shenyang City Falun Dafa practitioner, Wei Jie, is trapped inside her home,
which has been surrounded by the police. Details will be forthcoming. [Gongzhuling City, Jilin Province] Police Sweep Province for Falun Dafa
Practitioners Instructed by the "610 Office" in Jilin Province, Fanjiatun Town
Police have been following Falun Dafa practitioners around, in order to trap
them, and they have also been illegally searching their homes. Consequently, on
September 20, 2003, Wang Ming was illegally arrested while at home. Currently, a
large number of people have been organized from each work unit, neighborhood
committee and police substation to trail and abduct Falun Dafa practitioners.
The focus of their search is on all main streets, residential buildings and
closed-circuit television stations. These deputized vigilantes are equipped with
cellular phones and handcuffs. There is a three hundred Yuan bounty provided for
each practitioner they abduct. [Five hundred Yuan is the average monthly
salary of an urban worker in China.] Electronic monitoring equipment has
been set up in residential areas, as well. We hope that upon seeing this news,
practitioners in Gongzhuling City will begin sending forth righteous thoughts at
seven, eight and nine o'clock sharp every evening, in order to eliminate the
elements that exert their evil influence from alternate dimensions. According to reliable sources, the Public Security Bureau will search for
Falun Dafa practitioners in a wide sweep of Jilin Province during the National
Day [October 1] holidays. They intend to force practitioners in their
homes to write so-called "Guarantee Statements"** or else be
sent to forced labor camps. We hope that practitioners in this province think
and act righteously, while being especially mindful of security issues. [Handan City, Hebei Province] A Warning to Handan Practitioners Recently, Cao Zhixia was promoted to the new head of the "610
Office" in Handan City. At her previous position in She County, she had
volunteered to work at the "610 Office" in an attempt to enhance her
reputation by persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners, in hopes of getting promoted
to a municipal position in Handan City. As soon as she started her new job, she
instructed each police substation to find two Falun Dafa practitioners to write
the so-called "Three Statements," and send those who refused to write
them to a brainwashing center. We suggest that fellow practitioners in Handan City increase their study of
the Fa, send forth righteous thoughts more frequently, acting together as one
body. Let's eradicate all the evil arrangements of the old forces, thus
eliminating all persecution from the "610 Office" and the brainwashing
center. [Fusong County, Jilin Province] Crimes Committed by the Director of the
Lushuihe Town Police Force Cheng X, Director of the Lushuihe Town Vice Squad in Fusong County, has long
been involved in trailing Falun Dafa practitioners and then illegally searching
their homes. On September 25, 2003, he arrested six practitioners, four of whom
are currently detained at the Fusong Detention Center. Ms. Min Shaoyun, a
primary school teacher, was arrested for a note found at her home that clarified
the truth of Falun Dafa. Ms. Xing Yunfeng was also arrested for some truth-clarifying materials
discovered in her home, which left her son alone at home. In order to find out
the source of the truth-clarifying materials, agents of the Lushuihe Public
Security Bureau brutally beat Ms. Xing Yunfeng for an entire night. Currently,
she is still subject to torture. Practitioners Gao and Li, both in their 60s, were recently arrested. On that
day, Gao was confined to an iron cage. Details will be forthcoming. Names and phone numbers of parties involved in the persecution: Cheng X, Director of the Fusong
Public Security Bureau, 86-439-6365334 (office) The Fusong Detention Center:
86-439-6211787 Wang Tiesheng, Director of the Xishan

and Sun Jiku, together with other policemen from Shulan City, illegally searched
the home of 40-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner, Mr. Shi Zhifang, and arrested
him. Two sisters, Xie Shuhong and Xie Shumei, were illegally arrested as well. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Shock the Officials
With Truth-Clarifying Banners Since 2002, Falun Dafa practitioners have been putting up many
truth-clarifying banners along the main streets, in schools, at residential
areas, from the tops of bridges and at Changchun Airport. Every time they saw
the banners, the officials were shocked and sent out policemen to investigate,
household by household, but always in vain. Eventually, they had to tell the
policemen in charge of each area, "Remove the banners yourselves."
Practitioners' righteous thoughts and behavior have made the officials realize
they have no control over practitioners. [Xi'an City, Shanxi Province] Practitioner Li Zhirong Illegally Arrested Several days ago, Li Zhirong, a Xi'an City Falun Dafa practitioner in his
50s, was illegally arrested while distributing truth-clarifying materials in
Lantian County. 610 Office*: 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. Guarantee Statement**: declares that one is remorseful for practicing
Falun Gong and guarantees not to practice Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing
to appeal for Falun Gong, and never again to associate with any Falun Dafa
practitioners.] Three Statements***: Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and
torture to write these as proof that they have given up their belief. Created by
the "610 Office," the three statements consist of a letter of
repentance, a guarantee to never again practice Falun Gong, and a list of names
and addresses of all family members, friends and acquaintances who are
practitioners.
