[Jilin Province] The "610 Office" Enforcers Start a New Round of Persecution

Jilin Province's "610 Office"* ordered every city and county level "610 Office", as well as "610 Office" personnel in every work unit, to carry out yet another act that is against Chinese law, prior to October 18, 2003. They are to forcibly bring more than 20 Dafa practitioners with higher education degrees from their working positions to a brainwashing class in Changchun City's Development District. They were to intensively brainwash these practitioners in a closely monitored environment. The brainwashing class was to last one month.

* "610 Office" is 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.

[Jilin City, Jilin Province] Dafa Practitioner Mr. Liu Zhaojian is Relentlessly Tortured at the Jilin City Prison

Dafa practitioner Mr. Liu Zhaojian, 34, is an employee of Wangou Town's Local Tax Bureau in Jiangyuan County, Baijiang City, Jilin Province. He began his Falun Dafa cultivation in 1997. In 2000, because he refused to give up his belief, he was sentenced to forced labor. After being released in January 2001, he was arrested again when he hung up truth-clarifying banners with other practitioners. He was illegally detained at Baishan City Detention Center, where he suffered torture such as beatings, long-term electric shock abuse, being put in handcuffs and shackles, being hung up by the handcuffs, force-feeding with rubber tubes, and being locked up on an excruciatingly painful bed reserved for felons. He could not take care of himself due to the inhumane torture. In spite of this, he was still sentenced to six years of imprisonment in Jilin City's Prison. For fear of being responsible for Liu's possible death, the prison wanted to bail him out for hospitalization, but Baishan City "610 Office" perpetrators did not permit this. Liu is continuously undergoing torture in the prison. Though he is extremely weak, police still locked him to a bed with handcuffs for several days. At present, he is still held in a "strict administrative" cell and is suffering excruciating torture.

Prior to the National Holiday of October 1, in collusion with people from the Yongqing Street Police Precinct, the Yongqing Street Administrative Office in the Jiang'an District of Wuhan City arrested Zhang Yi in front of many people when she was shopping at a vegetable market. This unlawful incident made many people who witnessed the arrest angry. The policemen shamefully explained to the bystanders, "We have a quota to arrest Falun Gong practitioners," a completely illegal act, perpetrated by police who defied Chinese law. Zhang Yi did not cooperate with the arrest. The policemen then called someone on their cellular phone. After a while, the residential committee supervisor of Zhang Yi's residential area arrived and told Zhang Yi, "Let's go shopping." Afterwards, they put Zhang Yi into a police car and sent her into a brainwashing class, another act defying Chinese law. They deceived Zhang Yi's family, saying that Zhang Yi would be released on October 8, but no one has heard any information about Zhang Yi so far.

[Guizhou Province] Dafa Practitioners' Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

Some Dafa practitioners from Guizhou Province directly faced people to clarify the truth. They tell the public about the persecution against Falun Dafa in an open and dignified manner. Many people express their sympathy and understanding, as well as their appreciation to Dafa practitioners. The situation is getting better and better. We hope that those practitioners who haven't stepped forward to clarify the truth will cherish this most precious opportunity.

[Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province] Officials from Shuangta District "610 Office" Openly Extort Money from Dafa Practitioners' families

Recently Bai Wenyou, head of the Shuangta District "610 Office" in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, ordered four policemen including Hou Wen, Wang Gang, and Bao to go to a Dafa practitioner's home. They attempted to arrest this Dafa practitioner, but the practitioner's husband locked the door. The practitioner then sent forth righteous thoughts inside the house. These lawless policemen threatened her husband and tried to extort money from him. They shamelessly said, "We cannot go back with nothing. We are now short of money and you must give us some. If we went to another place, we would get more. Giving us 1,000 Yuan* now will be okay." Another Dafa practitioner observed what happened and informed other Dafa practitioners, telling them to send out righteous thoughts to help the first practitioner. With the practitioners' strong righteous thoughts, the policemen gave up for the time being, and the practitioner's husband refused to give them a penny. The policemen said, "You have to send us money later. Not 1,000 Yuan, but 2,000 Yuan." Then the policemen left.
