Recently two practitioners were sentenced to jail:

Ms. Tang Qingying, 50, was sentenced to seven and a half years in jail.
Ms. Xiao Guiying, 50, was sentenced to eight years in jail.

Falun Gong practitioners from the Hecheng area, Huaihua City were sentenced to jail and are presently detained in the No. 1 and No. 2 Detention Centers. They are Mr. Chen Kaiming, Mr. Yang Xiaohui, Ms. Zheng Hongxia, Ms. Xiang Zaoxia, Ms. Tang Qingying, Ms. Xiao Guiying, Mr. Pan Jianjun and Mr. Li Shirong. They are currently holding a group hunger strike to protest the persecution.

On the eve of National Day, October 1, in the parks of Haicheng City, a lot of colorful flags with the words "Falun Dafa is good" appeared in fields and near ponds. Policemen were angry and assigned a lot of people to investigate. The small flags disappeared. However many paper lanterns showed up in the streets and lanes. The beautiful lanterns had a short truth-clarifying message written on them, and became a hot topic of conversation in the area. The authorities had the streets blocked, and the lanterns disappeared, but paper windmills showed up in a nearby suburb. At one end of the windmill was a wheel and at the other end was a small scroll with the words "Falun Dafa is good" and "Jiang has been sued in many countries."

Falun Gong practitioner Chen Chujun, 30, has a bachelor's degree and is an employee of the Huaihua Railway Southern Station. She went to appeal in Beijing many times and was detained and sent to Baimalong Labor Camp, where she was injected with drugs that damaged the central nervous system. In March 2003, she was sentenced to three years in jail by the Railway Transportation Court. She held a hunger strike to protest the persecution. We think that she will not be sent to jail right away because she is in critical condition. The related departments have blocked this news from the public. Her current status is unknown.

Dafa practitioner Mr. Xu Dawei, 30, was recently sentenced to 8 years in jail because he made and distributed truth-clarifying flyers in 2001. He was detained in the No. 1 Jail of Lingyuan City. In the jail, Xu Dawei hung truth clarifying banners, and suffered severe persecution. He was cuffed with hands behind the back for several days, was electrically shocked by Liu, and as a result he had symptoms of chest pain and a rapid heart beat.

Dafa practitioner Mr. Sui Yanzhang lives in Lushuihe, Jilin province. On September 9, 2003, while posting truth-clarifying flyers, he was arrested by Erdao Baihe, a Forestry Police Branch Officer. It is said that he will be sent to Changchun.

On September 21, 2003, policemen arrested Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Xu Xiuying and Mr. Wang Qiaosheng while they posted truth-clarifying materials. Their detention site is unknown.

Because Ms. Li Guangying insisted on her belief in Falun Dafa and the principles of "Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance," she was persecuted in a variety of ways by her work unit at the Daqing Petroleum Management Bureau. Li's pension was cut off in September. The work unit did not give any reasons. During National Day, the work unit gave 200 Yuan to each retired employee, but Li's money was withheld . In addition, Li's husband Wang Yuanchang was harassed by his work unit. Since Li Guangying refused to write or sign transformation documents, her work unit had her husband sign them for her.

Security Officers Jie Zhengya and Liu Yizhong, from the Xindu Electrician Company, monitor Falun Gong practitioners and try to force them to write "guarantee letters." If Falun Gong practitioners refuse, they coerce the practitioners using threats of terminating the employment of their children. They forced the family members to write a letter on behalf of the practitioners, and did their best to force the family members to live in a state of panic and fear.

According to news from Zhanjiang City, in the last few months the evil there intensified the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Dozens of practitioners were identified from the internet and were arrested. Many of them were sentenced to jail terms as long as 8 years. Some practitioners were arrested and taken to brainwashing classes. The steadfast practitioners were sent to the Sanshui Labor Camp.

On October 3, 2003 Dafa practitioners in a Northeast China city successfully held a small scale Fa conference. About 20 practitioners making truth-clarifying materials took part in the activities. They chose a bad place unintentionally, located right above a police branch office. Practitioners studied "Essentials for Further Advancement" earnestly. Everyone looked inside themselves and sent righteous thoughts at intervals. A whole day passed by quickly. In the evening while they were leaving, they saw that police were searching rooms of the building, but all of the practitioners returned home safely. We saw the importance of studying the Fa and keeping righteous thoughts. At the beginning it seemed we chose a bad place, but we purified our minds, studied the Fa, and kept a righteous state of Dafa disciples. As a result, the result was good and we were in no danger.
