Song Ping, female, about 40 years old, is from the Futian District. To
validate Dafa, she went to Tiananmen Square and displayed banners many times in
late 1999. Later, she was illegally sentenced to one and a half years in jail.
She was released on April 25, 2001. Since then, she has actively taken part in
the Fa-rectification process. In June 2001, she was arrested in Nanjing while
delivering Dafa truth-clarifying materials, was illegally sentenced to 5 years
in jail, and detained at the Women's Jail of Nantong City, Jiangsu Province.
(Phone: 86-513-5516140 extension 2362). We hope that Dafa practitioners outside
of China can help to rescue her. 2. [Cangzhou City, Hebei Province] Recently Dafa Practitioners Have Been
Arrested and Their Homes Searched
In April 2003, eight Dafa practitioners living in the Chemical Prospecting
Company apartments on Yingbin Street, Yunhe District, Cangzhou City were
arrested and their homes were searched. Some of their appliances including color
TV sets were confiscated by police. Later, more than ten other Dafa
practitioners were implicated. It is reported that at least 20 Dafa
practitioners were arrested. This event happened after some Dafa practitioners,
who had just started delivering Dafa truth-clarifying materials, were reported.

following orders from Jiang's regime to persecute Falun Gong. 3. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Dafa Practitioner Hong Weishen Is Detained
and Mistreated In the Qinduankou Jail, Hanyang
Hong Weishen is being illegally detained at the Qinduankou Jail, Hanyang
District, and is in a dire situation. Since Hong is firm in his belief in Dafa,
he has been tortured by jail guards in various ways. His head was badly injured
from beatings, and he has not been given anything to eat. When he suffered from
appendicitis, they did not give him any immediate medical attention. He was sent
to the hospital only after the infection had spread, putting him in critical
condition. Even so, his family was not informed or allowed to visit him. The
torture caused 40-year-old Hong's hair to turn gray, and he drastically lost
weight. Each day he has to do hard labor. Chen Chuanhong, the new leader of the
third group, is cruelly torturing Dafa practitioners. 4. [Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Dafa Practitioner Zhu Jinxiu and Spouse
Are Arrested and Their Personal Property Is Confiscated
On September 30, 2002, Dafa truth-clarifying materials were found at Zhu
Junxiu's home. The practitioners were taken away by the personnel from the
Chengdu City Public Security Bureau "610 Office, the Jinniu Branch, and the
Xiaojiacun Police Station. Their cars and a large amount of cash were taken by
the police. Since some of the cash from their business was in US dollars, the
Public Security Bureau assumed the couple was connected with Falun Gong
practitioners outside of China. The Chengdu City "610 Office" listed
them as the biggest target in Chengdu City and intended to sentence them
heavily. They are still illegally being detained at the Pixian County Detention
Center.
