2. [Haiyang City, Shandong Province] Practitioner Li Hui Abducted by the
Police
On the evening of January 26, 2003, Li Hui (female, pseudonym) from Haiyang
City, Shandong Province was taken away by the police while clarifying the
truth about Falun Dafa. Her elder sister Li Zhen (pseudonym) and a fellow
practitioner Ms. Yu disappeared in mid-December 2002 while distributing
Master's recent article. It has been determined that Li Zhen and Yu were
arrested by the Haiyang City "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]. Ms. Yu went
on a hunger strike after being abducted. Later, the authorities extorted 5000
Yuan from her relatives before releasing her. [500 Yuan is the average
monthly income for an urban worker in China.] It is not clear what
situation Li Zhen is in. It is likely that Li Hui has been unlawfully arrested
by the Zhifu District Police in Yantai City, Shandong Province.

6. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp

The Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Jiutai City, Jilin Province forbids
steadfast Falun Dafa practitioners from meeting their family members. If any
of the friends and families are practitioners themselves, they are not allowed
to visit practitioners in the labor camp. The Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp has
escalated its persecution since last September, extending the duration of
labor from 4:30 am to 11:30 pm. Many Dafa practitioners have to bear the
suffering of being overworked in addition to inhumane torture.

8. [China] Seventy-Two Practitioners from the Aerospace Ministry Are
Transferred to Various Facilities; Their Whereabouts Are Unknown
Below is what I have learned about the mysterious disappearance of experts
in the Aerospace Ministry that was reported early last year.
A total of 72 people were transferred to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in
Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. In April 2002, they were then transferred to
the Fushun City No.2 Prison of War Criminals in Liaoning Province. They were
again transferred to Kunming City, Yunnan Province in June 2002. Their
whereabouts are not known at the moment.
Authorities in Liaoning Province have sent steadfast male practitioners to
the Anshan Forced Labor Camp and another facility in Shenyang City (the exact
location of which is not clear) for centralized control and persecution.

have been forced to leave their homes as a result. According to incomplete
statistics, they have sent close to a hundred practitioners to the Masanjia
Forced Labor Camp, the Dabei Prison in Shenyang City, and the Dandong City
Forced Labor Camp. Among the practitioners, Liu Zhiqu was arrested three
times, and sent to a forced labor camp twice. They took money from Liu's
family in order to agree to release Liu. However, they soon would make up an
excuse to place Liu under arrest again.
Wang Runlong's home phone number: 86-415-7129200.
Wang Yuanjun's home phone number: 86-415-7125222.
10. [Tangshan City, Hebei Province] List of Police Officers Committing
Cruelties at the Tangshan Forced Labor Camp

have become thugs for Jiang Zemin's criminal group. They have tortured
practitioners by means of "tying the ropes", beating with electric batons,
inhumane forced feeding, etc. Below are some of the officers in the forced
labor camp who have completely lost their human nature when it comes to
beating and torturing: Gao Yongjing, Wang Yulin, Liu Fuxing, Li Guiping, Li
Xiaodong, Zhang Xiaofeng, Li Jianzhong, and Wang Yong.
