up eight speakers inside a city and in the nearby suburban area to clarify the
truth. This greatly shocked the evil. On October 1, 2003, the grand opening of a business in a county in Sichuan
Province invited dozens of media and community representatives. On September 30
and October 1, over a hundred Falun Dafa banners appeared in the towns of that
county. At a particularly scenic spot in the city, a huge banner with the words,
"Jiang Zemin Is Being Sued in International Courts for Persecuting Falun
Gong!" was put up. [Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Practitioner Chen Weiyi Is Tortured at the
Dalian Forced Labor Camp On July 7, 2003, practitioner Chen Weiyi was stopped and reprimanded for
helping others make their beds. Chen Weiyi asked the director what was wrong
with that. The director took him to his office. Then Chen Weiyi was kept in
another room alone, under strict supervision. His hands were cuffed to a metal
bed without any quilt or bed sheet, and a security helmet was forced on to his
head. Chen Weiyi went on a hunger strike to protest against the persecution. He
has been force-fed since the second day of his strike. Director Liu Zhongke threatened Chen Weiyi with an extension of his jail
term. The head of Chen Weiyi's class also tried to coerce him to acknowledge
that he was wrong. Chen didn't yield. Eighteen days later, Chen Weiyi was told
that he had been transferred to another class, and his handcuffs would be
unlocked if he stopped the hunger strike. Hearing this, Chen started to eat.
However, only one of his handcuffs was opened, and he was forced to sit on a
stool for long periods of time. Fifteen days later, the director asked him to
write a statement of guarantee not to break the rules and regulations of the
camp. Chen insisted that he was not wrong and refused to write the statement.
Later, he was released from strict supervision and transferred to another class. [Dongming County, Shandong Province] Sister Practitioners Zhang Yu'e and
Zhang Fenglan Unlawfully Arrested Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Zhang Yu'e and Ms. Zhang Fenglan are sisters.
One is from Zhangjie Village of Datun Township, Dongming County. The other is

Security Section of the Heze Public Security Bureau, Dongming Public Security
Bureau, and Datun Police Substation unlawfully searched their homes, arrested
the two sisters, and detained them in the Dongming Detention Center. The police
rarely allow their family members to visit them. Their parents are in their 70s,
and they have little kids at home as well. Zhan Yu'e has a family business
dealing with lumber. Over 10,000 Yuan cash in her closet was taken out and
thrown on the floor on the day of illegal search [500 Yuan is the average
monthly income for an urban worker in China]. After the police left, her
family members found that 5,000 Yuan was missing. The two sisters' family
members paid tens of thousands of Yuan in order to have them released. However,
the police still didn't release them. The police even filed a lawsuit against
them for no reason. It has been reported that they will be put on trial at the
end of October or early November. [China] Zeng Qinghong Comes across Truth-Clarifying Banners Zeng Qinghong, a member of the Chinese Central Political Bureau, is a key

Falun Dafa Practitioners Jiang Chunhao, a police guard, used torture instruments on practitioners,
cuffed them to one place for long periods of time, force-fed them, and beat them
up at will. Once, when prisoners and practitioners were let outside, he beat up
practitioners in front of over thirty prisoners. He struck them in the mouth,
punched them in the chest, and then beat them with his shoes. When he eventually
became tired, he instructed prisoners to beat the practitioners. His phone
number is 86-417-7651940. When a newly arrested practitioner was detained, He Qinghua, a policewoman,
instructed the cell head, "Don't give her toilet paper. Don't give her
anything. Let her be miserable." Once she stripped off a 20-year-old
practitioner's trousers and beat her buttocks violently with a wooden board. [China] Truth-Clarifying Phone Calls from Practitioners outside China Shock
the Evil We thank practitioners outside China for making truth-clarifying phone calls
to China because it indeed shocks the evil. A supervisor at our working unit who
actively cooperates with the "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]
in persecuting Falun Dafa has been restrained after getting a call from
overseas. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Brainwashing Class Held near Jingyuetan A six-department committee of Changchun City is holding a brainwashing class

ago. Her husband Luo Jing had been reported and detained because a large amount
of truth-clarifying materials were found at his home during an illegal search.
He was detained in forced labor camp for over a year. Xu Xianglin, director of the Security Section of the plant, has become very
aggravated since she was added to the list of criminals for her crimes of aiding
the evil in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. She reported to the "610
Office" that Ms. Huang is still practicing Falun Gong. Currently we don't know where Ms. Huang is detained. Her husband and

Clerk Li Zhiming The "610 Office" in Zhuolu County persecutes Falun Dafa
practitioners using various means under the leadership of Director Zhao Xuan and
Assistant Director Li Zhiming. Li Zhiming, in particular, employs many vicious
means in trying to force practitioners to write so-called "statements of
guarantee" to stop practicing Falun Dafa. At the Songhua Brainwashing
Class, Li Zhiming swore at and beat up practitioners. Among other forms of
cruelty, he has shocked elderly female practitioners with electric prods and
punished pregnant women by making them kneel down on the floor. Zhong Weidong,
Party Secretary of the County Council, thinks highly of him for his crimes, and
awarded him a Citation for Third Degree Merit. Li Zhiming's persecution of Falun
Dafa practitioners continues today. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Torture Methods Used in Persecuting Falun Dafa
Practitioners at the Shizishan Forced Labor Camp for Drug Addicts Inside the Shizishan Forced Labor Camp, each Falun Dafa practitioner, since
the day he or she arrives, is surrounded by two or three former practitioners
who "enlightened" along an evil path as a result of brainwashing.
Practitioners have no freedom at all. They cannot go to the bathroom when they
need to. They are flooded with lies and pressured to write the so-called
"Three Statements" [ 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]. Whoever refuses to
write the statements is forced to write with five or six people forcefully
grabbing his hands. If he still doesn't write, drug addicts are instructed to
beat him or he is shocked with electric prods. If all these fail, the
practitioner is forced to do hard labor beyond his physical endurance.
Currently, the forced labor camp has been changed to an all male camp. Female
practitioners have been transferred to the Shayang Forced Labor Camp while a new
female labor camp is constructed using public funds. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Criminal Record of Policewoman Zhang Li from the
Shizishan Forced Labor Camp Ms. Wang Ping, from Huangshi City, exchanged a word with a fellow
practitioner during detention on February 27, 2003. Zhang Li saw that and
instructed the drug-addicts to beat her up. Eventually, even the drug-addicts
couldn't bear to beat her. Then Zhang Li did it herself. She shocked Wang Ping's
breasts with an electric prod. After being shocked, Wang Ping has had trouble
using the bathroom. Ms. Cheng Guiping, from Huangshi City, shed tears when a fellow practitioner
was released on February 28, 2003. Zhang Li saw it and beat her up. In May,
Cheng was transferred to the Shayang Forced Labor Camp, where she has been
hospitalized. She has suffered from mental problems as a result of the torture. Ms. He Ping, from Jiayu Township, tried to stop Zhang Li when Zhang was
beating up Wang Ping on February 27, 2003. Zhang Li subsequently beat her up as
well. Several wooden sticks were broken during the beating. Zhang Li also kicked
her repeatedly. [Huanggang City, Hubei Province] Jiang's Regime Deceives Students by

Secretary of Chicheng County Council Qiu Jianguo is the Party Secretary of Chicheng County Council. Since July 20,
1999, he has regarded persecuting Falun Gong as a good chance to get promoted.
First, he put practitioners under house arrest, and then unlawfully arrested
practitioners and extorted money from them. After that, he searched
practitioners' homes and sent practitioners to forced labor or prison. Over
1,400 practitioners were persecuted by him. Among which, 50 were unlawfully
detained in forced labor, three practitioners were sentenced to prison, 20
practitioners' homes were unlawfully searched, over 50,000 Yuan was extorted,
and over 20 practitioners became destitute and homeless. Brainwashing sessions
are being held continuously. A big team of around 100 security guards was
established by the "610 Office," the Public Security Bureau, the
Judicial Bureau and the Inspection Bureau, to persecute Falun Dafa
practitioners. [Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Are Coerced on a
Large Scale to Write "Statements of Guarantee" Recently, some street offices, neighborhood committees, police substations
and former "610 Offices" once again asked Falun Dafa practitioners to
denounce Falun Dafa and to promise that they would not practice, go to appeal in
Beijing, or distribute flyers. Otherwise, practitioners are threatened with a
salary deduction, brainwashing in the Xinjing Brainwashing Class, forced labor
reeducation, and so on. Practitioners are either threatened or "given
talks" by several people to write statements against Dafa. The authorities
are going through a systematic process to try to undermine the practitioners'
beliefs. |
