Unlawfully Arrested by Police for the Second Time
Ms. Shao Ying, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Mishan City, Heilongjiang
Province, is a survivor of the tragic deaths in the Wanjia Forced Labor
Institute. She was released in August 2001, several months after her official
release date. Ms. Shao was able to stay at home for only a few months. Fellow
practitioners revealed the facts of the tragic deaths in the Wanjia Forced Labor
Camp, and the forced labor camp conspired with the Mishan City Police Department
to arrest Ms. Shao again. To avoid being arrested, she left home, staying away
from her young son, husband, and elderly mother.
In spite of this, in March 2003, Ms. Shao was again arrested at a Falun Gong
materials storage site in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. The police are
planning to sentence her to a harsh prison term. As a result of deceptive
propaganda, many people in the company where Ms. Shao worked were brainwashed.
Her husband also fell victim to the propaganda and even appeared on local TV,
complaining that his wife did not take care of the family. The misfortune of the
whole family was entirely the doing of Jiang's regime.

in Beijing. On October 28, 2002, members of the "610 Office" broke in through

Fengtai District Detention Center in Beijing. Since May 2003, no one has had any
information about her despite constant inquiries. Authorities at the Fengtai
Detention Center have denied that Ms. Liu is held there.
Ms. Liu Lan was arrested seven or eight times for validating Falun Dafa. She
had thwarted any possible forced labor or jail terms by holding hunger strikes,
