[Doumen County, Guangdong Province] "610 Office" Sends Falun Dafa
Practitioners to a Brainwashing Center Before the 16th People's
Congress Convened
Before the 16th People's Congress, personnel from the county "610
Office" frantically arrested practitioners. Currently, practitioners Wang
Xiaoyuan, Lin Cuichan (female), Yang Xiumei (female), Yang (female), Zeng Qing,
and others are being illegally detained at the Zhuhai City Brainwashing Center.
In this center, practitioner Chen, in his 20s, was seen bleeding from his mouth
because of the beatings. He was not provided any food for three days and yet his
family was forced to pay 125 Yuan [Chinese currency, the monthly salary for
an average Chinese urban worker is about 500 Yuan] per day in lodging fees.
Zeng Qing was arrested on October 2000 on his way home from work. He experienced
various inhuman tortures in the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp and was released in
August 2001. He made a solemn announcement to invalidate the statements that he
was forced to write in the labor camp and was again sent to a brainwashing
center.
[Jiamusi, Heilongjiang Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Huo Jinping in
Critical Condition in the Jiamusi Detention Center
Huo Jinping, male, is about 35 years old. He went to Beijing in 1999 to
appeal for Dafa and was illegally sent to the Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp. On
November 3, 2000, he and 10 other practitioners escaped from the camp and didn't
return to their homes so they wouldn't be sent back to the camp. Around October
2002, the police arrested Huo in Shandong Province and sent him back to the
Jiamusi Detention Center. Huo is in critical condition now from being on a
prolonged hunger strike in protest of the persecution. However the detention
center still refuses to release him. We hope kind people will help. The phone
number of the Jiamusi Detention Center is 86-454-8782461.
[Fushun City, Liaoning Province] Police Arrest Many Falun Dafa Practitioners
In August 2002, practitioner Ma Huaidong was arrested for hanging Dafa
banners that clarify the true facts of the persecution. In the detention center,
he suffered various cruel tortures. He was secretly sentenced to five years in
the Dabei Prison in Shenyang. Huaidong's sister Ma Hongxia was arrested in
September 2002 and was illegally sentenced to six years in prison. Their parents
were also later arrested.
In January 2002, the police illegally arrested practitioners including Sun
Yongsheng, Jia Naizhi, and Liu Chengyan. They are suffering cruel tortures in
the Second Detention Center. The police strictly block the information and have
not even informed the practitioner's families.

her. We do not know her whereabouts.
[Fushun City, Liaoning Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Zhang Guixia from

On February 27, 2002, the police from Xinbin County illegally arrested Zhang
Guixia, 38 years old, in her home for explaining the facts about Falun Dafa to
people. She has been detained at the first branch of the third female squad in
the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp for over a year. In order to protest the illegal
imprisonment and persecution, she has been on hunger strikes many times. The
police forcefully fed her, sometimes twice a day and shamelessly asked her
family to pay 4000 Yuan in "meal fees." They tortured her by making her squat in
a small cell, suspending her by her arms, sitting on an iron chair for prolonged
periods of time, and so on. Currently, she is very weak and suffering. We hope
that the international society will help to rescue her.
[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] The Authorities Fabricate and Spread
Rumors About a Self-Immolation Plan
Recently, the authorities spread a rumor that Falun Dafa practitioners in a
certain area in Heilongjiang were planning to stage a self-immolation. Using
this as justification, the police illegally arrested many practitioners. The
cultivation of Falun Dafa is dignified. Zhuan Falun, the complete
teachings of Falun Dafa, explicitly points out, "For practitioners, we have
set the strict requirement that they cannot kill lives." It is not possible for
Falun Dafa practitioners to commit suicide or self-immolate. This rumor should
make people once again see clearly another lie fabricated by the evil force in
order to continue its persecution.
[Changchun City, Jilin Province] Authorities Attempt to Obstruct the
Investigations of the World Organization to Investigate the
Persecution of Falun Gong"
Recently, the residential offices in Changchun City passed a document from
the city to all the residential committees stating: Closely monitor anyone who
might be from the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of
Falun Gong and prohibit them from contacting the local Falun
Gong practitioners in order to prevent the truth about the persecution from
leaking out. This actually shows that the overseas practitioners are doing a
good job. They hit the evil's weak spot. This also shows the dictator's extreme
fear.
[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Li Xin Is
Arrested in Taiyuan
In October 2001, Li Xin, 29 years old, from Harbin, was arrested in Beijing
for appealing for Falun Gong and was detained at the Pinggu Detention Center in
Beijing. The police brutally beat Li, burned him with cigarettes, and tortured
him by making him hold the "riding an airplane" [the head is bent down
until it cannot go down any further, while the hands are pulled up and held up
to the highest point. The hips have to remain upright.] position for long
periods of time. On May 16, 2002, the police arrested Li from his home and
illegally sentenced him to two years in the Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp. In
order to protest the illegal detention, he went on hunger strikes several times.
In January 2002, he developed numbness below his waist and appeared to be
paralyzed. On February 26, 2002, he was able to escape from the camp. On
September 16, 2002, he was arrested while distributing Dafa materials at Huabei

[Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province] Dr. Dong Wencheng Is Arrested and
Detained at Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp

from a town government forcefully sent him to a brainwashing center for nearly 2
months. He was released after paying 2000 Yuan and the deeds to three homes. In
2002, he was arrested for going to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. After being
transferred and tortured in five detention centers, he was finally detained in
the Shuangcheng Detention Center. He went on a hunger strike to protest and was
forcefully fed and tortured. He was only released when his physical condition
deteriorated so much that his life was in danger. On April 16, 2002, he went to
Beijing again to appeal and was arrested. He was sentenced to two years in a
forced labor camp but was later released because his leg was broken in a fall
and he became emaciated from the torture in the detention center. As soon as he
recovered at home, they sent him back to Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp and he has
been there ever since.

blood. They used a cigarette lighter to burn her fingers until the lighter ran
out of fuel. Other practitioners in the same cell witnessed the torture. Zu
could not eat or sleep. The practitioners went on a hunger strike in order to

incited collaborators [former Falun Gong practitioners who have gone astray
due to brainwashing and torture] to beat the practitioners. Female
practitioners were placed in small cells without windows, and they would live,
and use the toilet in the same cell. The smell in the cell was intolerable. The
practitioners were beaten and shocked while in these cells. Male guards monitor
the female practitioners; which is a serious violation of human rights.
