Latest News from China - November 5, 2003
(Clearwisdom.net) 1. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Belated News: Dafa Practitioner Dies
on a Train in December 2000 As a Result of Force-Feeding In December 2000, I was illegally arrested and forcibly sent into Harbin
City's Railway Detention Center. Ms. Zhang Hua, a 60-year-old practitioner
detained in the same cell with me, told me her story. Several days ago, she had
gone to Beijing to unfurl Dafa banners, was arrested and taken into a detention
center. There, she and three other female practitioners refused to tell the
police their names. After five days of hunger strike, the police transported
them to the outskirts of a suburb and abandoned them in a desolate field. These practitioners did not know each other. They walked dozens of miles and
got to a railway station. Zhang Hua and another practitioner got on a train
heading northeast. On the train, the other practitioner began to hurt. It was
discovered that the police had inserted the tube into her lung during
force-feeding, causing severe bleeding. She had extreme difficulty breathing.
Zhang Hua asked a train attendant to transfer her to a lower bed. But the
practitioner still felt extreme pain. Several hours later this practitioner
passed away. Police on the train thought Zhang Hua was somehow responsible for
this practitioner's death, so they put Zhang Hua into Harbin City's Railway
Detention Center. Actually, the unknown practitioner died from results of
torture. We do not know whether her family found out what happened to her or
where her body might be. 2. [Jilin Province] Dafa Practitioners Hang up Truth-Clarifying Loudspeaker On a day in October 2003, practitioners from Jilin Province hung up a
loudspeaker broadcasting truth-clarifying information on a big tree near a
township's middle school. When students went to school, the loudspeaker began to
broadcast. Students, those visiting the township's market, and nearby residents
all could hear this. Many gathered near the speaker to listen. After hearing the
truth-clarifying information, they discussed this with each other. The
loudspeaker did not finish broadcasting until the battery was used up. 3. [Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province] Four Dafa Practitioners are Illegally
Sentenced During the morning of October 25, 2003, four practitioners from Zhangzhou
City in Fujian Province who had clarified the truth with short messages through
cellular phones were illegally sentenced in Xiangcheng District Court. Ms. Zheng
Huizhen was sentenced to four years of imprisonment; Ms. Xiao Yaying to
three-and-a-half years; Mr. Feng Wenquan to three years; and Ms. Huang Meiling
to two and a half years. Everyday, people from the "610 Office*" from the First Section of
Zhangzhou City Police Department receive 20 to 30 truth-clarifying phone calls
from overseas practitioners. Now these "610" personnel frequently
change their cell phone numbers. Even their co-workers do not know their cell
phone numbers. For Dafa practitioners who were illegally detained in Minxi Prison, if their
family members wanted to visit them, they would be asked for their opinions on
Falun Gong. If the family members did not satisfy them by saying something bad
about Dafa, the police would not allow them to meet the practitioners. 4. [Xiangtan County, Hunan Province] Dafa Practitioners Liu Heqing and Luo
Yinping are Illegally Sentenced Mr. Liu Heqing, 33 years old, is a resident of Yisuhe Town/Xiangtan
County/Hunan Province. He attained Dafa in 1999. In order to validate Dafa, he
went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa and was illegally detained several
times. In 2000 his work unit fired him. In October 2000, he was unlawfully
arrested for distributing truth-clarifying flyers and was sentenced to one year
of imprisonment. As he insisted on practicing, his detention term was extended
by a half year. He went on clarifying the truth after he was released. But in
March or April 2003, Xiangtan County Police Department enforcers unlawfully
arrested him again and sentenced him to five years of imprisonment without any
due legal procedures. At present, he is being detained at a prison in Changsha
City. Responsible persecutors: He, head of Xiangtan County "610 Office" Xiong Changjun, associate head and chief of the Political and Security
Section of the County Police Department Liu Mingqiang, administrator of the county's police department. Luo Yinping, 42 years old, is an employee of Xiangtan City's Construction
Steel Company (former Hongqi Steel Factory). He attained Dafa in 1998. In 2001
he was forcibly taken away by persons from the city's National Security
Department for distributing flyers. Police blindfolded him and took him to an
unknown place and interrogated him for two days. After duping his brother and
extorting 6,000 Yuan [Yuan is the Chinese currency. The average monthly
salary of an urban worker in China is 500 Yuan. ], the police released him.
At about 10:00 p.m. one evening in March 2003, National Security Department
persecutors surrounded his living place and took him away again. Afterwards, he
was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment. He has been detained at Xiangtan
City Detention Center for over eight months. Tan Zhengjun, Xiangtan City Detention Center: 86-13607320122 (C),

Force-fed Practitioner Ms. Fan Ying from Sichuan Province is being illegally detained
at Chengdu City's Shuangliu Detention Center. In order to protest the
persecution, she went on a hunger strike and has been on it for over 60 days.
She had lost consciousness on two days. Police always cruelly force-fed her. She
has almost no hair left, because the police grab her hair to force-feed her.
Tens days ago she was sentenced to four years of imprisonment at Chengdu City's
Intermediate People's Court. 6. [Bei'an City, Heilongjiang Province] Dafa Practitioner Liu Jin on Hunger
Strike at Bei'an City Detention Center Practitioner Liu Jin, an employee of Bei'an City's Power Plant, was reported
to police. On October 28, persons from the city's police department abducted Liu
from the workplace. After the arrest the practitioner was taken to the city's
detention center, where he has since been on a hunger strike. We ask
practitioners to send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all the evil factors
in other dimension that are persecuting Liu Jin, and help him get out of the
evil's den and come back into the mighty current of Fa-rectification. 7. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioner Wen Yingxin is
Force-fed at the Dabei Jail Hospital Ms. Wen Yingxin, 33 years old, is a practitioner from Shenyang City. In the
beginning of 2003 she was transferred from the city's Longshan Labor Camp to the
Dabei Jail Hospital for persecution. The prison doctor force-fed her, and she is
in critical condition. A policeman by the name of Tang Yubao from the Longshan Labor Camp's No. 2
Division once shocked Dafa practitioner Wen Yingxin with an electric baton on
the head. Wen fell on the cement floor, hit her head and fainted. She suffered a
slight concussion. After that, Tang Yubao and other policemen were afraid for
her health and apologized. But soon after, he resumed beating practitioners. General Hospital for Liaoning Province's Prison Administrative Bureau

Solution In July of 2003, practitioner Ms. Ma Lianxiao, 57 years old from Shenyang
City, Liaoning Province, was detained in Room 7 of Prison District No. 3,
Shenyang City Detention Center. Warden Zhao (female, 26 years old) handcuffed Ma
with hands behind the back for two days. Since September 5, because Ma went on a
hunger strike to protest the persecution, the prison doctor started to
force-feed her with a highly concentrated saline solution through a stomach
tube. Several prison doctors took turns to abuse her. A male director from the
detention, about 40 years old ordered, "Force-feed her everyday! Feed her
both in the morning and the afternoon, then handcuff her to the torture
bench!" At that time, the team leader Xu, female, more than 40 years old,
who is responsible for the No.3 Prison District and warden Zhao were present. Xu
and Zhao force-fed our practitioner Ms. Ma, give her an injection, had someone
restrain her on both sides, and even prevented her from vomiting. After a month
of this kind of torment at the detention center, she was in critical condition.
She was sent to the Dabei Jail Hospital for a month. Now, this practitioner has
broken through the persecution with righteous thoughts. Additional information: In May 2001, lawless police officer Cheng Xin, male, 20 years old, together
with other policemen from the Jixian Police Precinct, ransacked Dafa
practitioner Ma Lianxiao's home and took away her copier, computer and printer. In July 2003, policemen from the same precinct put practitioner Ma in a taxi.
When they arrived at their office, the policemen yanked away her handbag
containing about 500 Yuan and a folded umbrella. The policemen used her money to
pay the taxi driver and then stole the rest, and even confiscated Ma's shoes. Jixian Police Office of Shenyang City's Heping Police Precinct: Zip code:

Dafa Practitioners Because of the constant persecution from Fuzhou City "610 Office"

report those practitioners and then get a reward. 10. [Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Detention of Dafa Practitioner Wang

transmission tower at Dacheng Mountain. He is still detained and the station
also hired two retired workers to monitor him. 11. [Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] Arrest of Dafa Practitioners Zhang

Jilin Province's Chemical Factory was clarifying the truth of Falun Gong to her
colleagues. Someone reported her. Then Jilin City "610 Office"
officials illegally arrested and sent her to a newly established brainwashing
class, called "Changchun City's Law Enforcement School," an act that
violates the Chinese Constitution. Each term in this brainwashing class lasts 40
days, and each practitioner would be under surveillance of full time personnel.
All Dafa practitioners detained this time are engineers, graduate students,
professors and teachers who know computer technology. They attempted to cut off

because he jumped from a high story." 15. [Jiutai City, Jilin Province] After October 1st, the Yinmahe Forced Labor

refused to cooperate, she was cruelly tormented. Her hands were tightly
handcuffed; then policemen stomped on the handcuffs and yanked the handcuffs up
and down. Liu Quanlian was tortured this way for a long time, till the policemen
were tired. They also ransacked her house and confiscated Teacher's pictures,
Dafa books and lectures. Later they sent Liu to Hengyang City's No.2 Detention
Center for four months' detention and then sentenced her two years of forced
labor. Because her medical condition did not qualify her, the labor camp refused
to accept her. She was "fined" 3,000 Yuan cash without being given a
receipt. 17. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Enforcers from the Railway Bureau
"610 Office" Often Arrest Dafa Practitioners Illegally on the Trains The Railway Bureau "610 Office" enforcers in Harbin City/Heilongjiang
Province often instigated policemen on the trains to search for and arrest Dafa
practitioners. Since July 22, 1999, they have arrested many Dafa practitioners
who went to Beijing to appeal, transferred trains in Harbin City or returned
from Beijing and sent them to Harbin City's Railway Detention Center. Every
Monday during the railway bureau's shift change meeting, they gave a report how
many Falun Gong practitioners from a certain county or city who went to Beijing
to appeal had been prevented from doing what they planned. The "610"
officials also ordered each unit to "keep an eye on its personnel." For example, on February 15, 2000, on the No.72 Express Train, which departed
from Harbin City - within less than four hours after departure - 39 Falun Gong
practitioners were discovered and were forcibly ejected at the next stop,
Changchun City. These practitioners were handed over to train policemen at
Changchun City's station for transfer back. Policemen usually interrogated and
examined passenger's seating, compartment by compartment and open passengers'
luggage without due cause. Many Dafa practitioners were arrested because they
found banners in their bags. The other passengers were appalled at such rude
behavior. 18. [Yuanjiang City, Hunan Province] Illegal Detention of Dafa Practitioner

Yuan. Tan's situation in the detention center is unknown. 19. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Some Mailboxes Are Under Surveillance News from Wuhan City Hubei Province: some mailboxes in Wuhan City have been
