Latest News from China -- 10/17/2003
(Clearwisdom.net) 1. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Dafa Practitioners Hang Up Huge Banners Around the October 1st National Day, Dafa practitioners hung up over 20
banners, each 2.5 meters in length, in a number of districts. Given the group
cooperation and powerful righteous thoughts, this activity was highly
successful. The banners were flying high near the automobile factory. When
police officers wanted to remove the banners, they were unable to reach them.
They had to use a fire engine, and it took them more than half an hour to remove
the banners. 2. [Hebei Province] Dafa Banners Appear in Front of the Brainwashing Center In the early morning of October 16, 2003, posters appeared in front of the
brainwashing center at the West Loop Road of a city, with words like "Jiang
Zemin Is Being Sued in Many Countries", "It's the Heavenly Law that
Kindness Will be Rewarded with Kindness, and Evil Punished with Evil," etc.
On the trees along the road, one could see many red banners with the words
"Falun Dafa Is Good", "Falun Dafa Is Righteous", "Falun
Dafa Has Spread to the Whole World." Truth-clarifying video CDs, materials,
booklets were also sent to the courtyard of the brainwashing center, which
greatly shocked the evil. 3. [Donggang City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioner Li Na Illegally Tried Ms. Li Na is a resident of the Yangming Village, Huangtukan Township,
Donggang City and is 23 years old. After being turned in by the village security
officer, she was arrested on July 31, 2003. Her home was ransacked, and Dafa
books, audiotapes and over 1000 copies of truth-clarifying materials were
seized. The Donggang Court tried Li Na in an "open trial" on September 14,
2003, but no judgment was pronounced. It's heard that the Donggang Court is
requesting instructions from the Dandong City and the Province level before a
verdict could be rendered. It's clear that the so-called 'law' is no more than a
tool for the dictatorship. Relevant Phone Numbers: The Yangming Village Office,

Office" Mobilize Police to Illegally Arrest Dafa Practitioners Many Times Since March 2003, the Communist Party Committee and the City "610
Office" [a bureau specifically created by the Chinese government to
persecute Falun Gong. It has absolute power over each level of administration in
the Party, as well as over the political and judiciary branches] of Leiyang
City have ordered police many times to arrest Dafa practitioners. On March 5,
2003, Dafa practitioner Mr. Wu Youlin was arrested and over 200 copies of Dafa
materials were confiscated. On May 25, 2003, Dafa practitioner Mr. Xie Huijun
(deputy manager of the City Residential Building Development Center) was
arrested late at night by patrolling police officers when he was putting up Dafa
posters. At around October 10 to 12, the City Public Security Bureau organized
another round of arrests of Dafa practitioners. The arrested Dafa practitioners
in downtown Leiyang and Xiaoshui Township include Ms. Long Lianying, Ms. Li
Ying, and Ms. Zeng Zhaoqing. 5. [Yueyang City, Hunan Province] Dafa Practitioner Tang Yongqi Sentenced to
Jail Twice Mr. Tang Yongqi was illegally sentenced twice for his firm belief in
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" and is still detained at the
Changde Jail. His wife has also been detained several times. One detention
lasted over 8 months. Their elder daughter was forced to leave home over three
years ago and still cannot come home. Only their 80-year old father is left home
alone. 6. [Yueyang City, Hunan Province] Dafa Practitioner Lu Hai Missing For Over
Two Months Mr. Lu Hai is 27 years old, a university graduate, and a resident of the
Lingxiang City. He was illegally arrested on August 6, 2003 at the Yueyang
Railway Station. Fellow practitioners tried many ways to inquire about his
whereabouts, but were refused information. It's assumed that he has been
incarcerated somewhere and is being persecuted. 7. [Yueyang County, Hunan Province] Dafa Practitioner Wang Ping Tortured by
Police Chief Guo Shengxiang Guo Shengxiang is the police chief of the Yueyang County Police Brigade. He
has been a principal person in persecuting Dafa practitioners during the past
few years. Since early 2003, his crimes in persecuting Dafa practitioners have
been exposed and documented by the "World Organization to Investigate the
Persecution of Falun Gong". But instead of being regretful, he is out for
revenge. From May to August, 56 year old Wang Ping from the Yueyang County
downtown was arrested three times by Guo for no reason. After being force-fed
through tubes, injured though group beatings, and hung up by the wrists,
handcuffed in the back and then pulled up by the handcuffs to take the whole
body weight, Wang became extremely weak. His body became so swollen that it was
difficult for him to walk. He also did not have a normal appetite. At the worst
times, he could not manage his daily life on his own. On September 8, 2003, less
than ten days after the dying Wang Ping was sent home, and although he was still
in a dangerous condition, Guo Shengxiang broke into his home and arrested Wang
Ping for a third time. Mr. Wang's current condition is unknown. 8. Overseas Fellow Practitioners, Please Be Vigilant! Since August 2003, the International Department of the Chinese

international phone calls. 9. [Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioner Wang Wenqing Is

District Offices, the Political and Judiciary Committee and the"610
office" plotted to search Dafa practitioners' homes all over the town. Dafa
practitioners Ms. Chen Fenglan and others were arrested. Many Dafa

continued to detain Dafa practitioners. 11. [Wuchang City, Heilongjiang Province] "610 Office" Abuses Dafa
Practitioners Zhu Xianfu, the head of the "610 office" of the Wuchang City, has
been persecuting Dafa practitioners during the past few years. He has been
detaining Dafa practitioners in the "610 office" inside the Auditing
Building. He orders Fu Yanchun, Liu Xiaoling, and Shi to curse and beat Dafa
practitioners, while he tries to "convert" Dafa practitioners and to
extort money from them. Mo Zhenshan, the deputy director of the "610 office", has also
persecuted Dafa practitioners. On September 28, he plotted with Li Hongyu (head
of the Lalin Township Police Station) to go to Dafa practitioner Na Weichen's
home to arrest him for a second time. 12. [Qionghai, Hainan Province] Jiang Zemin Shows His Fear of Falun Gong During the First Annual Meeting of Boao Asian Forum in Qionghai, Jiang Zemin
attended the meeting. His living place was tightly guarded. When officers from
the Hainan Province wanted to pay a visit to the site, they were turned away.
They had to phone some leaders inside before being escorted in. Staff members
asked guards: "We are the first class police of our country, why couldn't
we enter?" They were told: "Jiang is especially afraid of Falun Gong,
so entry is tightly controlled." The staff member thought that to be very
funny. He could not believe that Jiang Zemin would be this afraid of Falun Gong.
