(Clearwisdom.net) [Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Recent Updates Several days ago, a local residential committee official in Shijiazhuang City
informed a practitioner that orders have come down to the residential level
committees for further persecution against Dafa practitioners. One of these
orders is to check up on all those practitioners who have been to Beijing to
appeal for Falun Gong or whose names are on the list of the city's authorities.
Then, if they are employees of a work unit, the work unit must hold a
brainwashing class. If they are not working, the local residential committee
should hold it. If they still cannot be transformed they will be put into a
brainwashing center. Several practitioners were arrested during the past few days. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Officers in the Nangang Police Precinct
Incite Criminals to Beat up Practitioners In mid-August 2003, at least five practitioners were arrested and taken to
the Harbin City Nangang Police Precinct (Detention Center) in Heilongjiang
Province. In order to stop practitioners from doing the Dafa exercises in the
detention center, police put the practitioners into handcuffs and shackles.

did not beat our practitioners. They even rewarded those criminals who took the
initiative to inhumanely torture practitioners by reducing their prison term.
