(Clearwisdom.net) [China] Falun Dafa Practitioners Keep Clarifying the Truth to People around
the World May 13th is World Falun Dafa Day, and the 11th
anniversary of Falun Dafa's introduction to the human world. Practitioners in
our city put up a ten-meter-long blue banner, with yellow words announcing,
"Celebration on the 11th Anniversary of Falun Dafa's Spreading in the
World." Banners with "Falun Dafa is Good!" "Falun Dafa is a Righteous Law!"
could be seen fluttering everywhere in the morning breeze. Golden signs with red
words saying, "The World Needs Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" glittered on
telephone poles in the morning sun and attracted much attention from passers-by.
Although guards were stationed at all the crossroads and residential areas
due to the SARS crisis, Falun Dafa practitioners keep clarifying the truth using
various means. Truth-clarifying signs, VCDs and other materials are seen
everywhere on telephone poles, walls, and in residential buildings. [Jiaozhou City, Shandong Province] The "610 Office"* Illegally Abducts Seven
Falun Dafa Practitioners In May, practitioner Zhao Wenfeng was illegally abducted for distributing

using proper legal procedures. In March, Pang Fang and Gao Xufang, employees from the Radio & Television
Broadcasting Bureau, were illegally abducted while distributing truth-clarifying
materials. They are still being detained in a brainwashing session held by the
"610 Office" at Zhangjiatun of Jiaozhou City, and are suffering both physically
and mentally. However, the policemen who illegally abducted them extorted 30,000
Yuan [equal to about five years' annual income of an average urban worker in
China] from the Broadcasting Bureau as their bonus. The "610 Office" from
the Jiaozhou City also extorted 20,000 Yuan from the Broadcasting Bureau in the
name of so-called "living expenses" for the two practitioners detained. [Handan City, Hebei Province] A Falun Dafa Practitioner Nobly Walks Out of

appealing for Falun Dafa. He was then illegally sentenced to two years in a
forced labor camp, where he suffered from torture of all kinds. His eardrum and
jaw were broken. His abdomen and heart were severely injured. But he resolutely
resisted the evil's persecution, and refused to write the so-called
"statements." On October 25, 2001, he was released on bail for medical treatment
because his life was in grave danger. In September 2002, he was taken away once
again and kept in the Handan Forced Labor Camp for eight months. During
detention, he always kept righteous thoughts and didn't cooperate with the evil.
Later, he walked out of the forced labor camp nobly. [Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province] Practitioner Sun Zhenguo and His Wife Are

Brainwashing Center Practitioners Huang Huolan and Zhao Haiqin were forcibly abducted several
times by the local "610 Office" and sent to the brainwashing center in

are very steadfast in their cultivation. By the end of this April, the local
"610 Office" and the "610 Office" of the Guangdong Police Department took them
away again. It has been reported that they have been sent to the Shanshui
Brainwashing Center. Due to the persecution, these two practitioners' families
are in a very difficult situation. Zhao Haiqin's youngest son is only three
years old. He needs his mother to look after him. Also, her family members had
to sell their family business since there has been nobody to take care of the
store. Huang Huolan's daughter is a senior in high school. Her studies have been
affected without her mother at home. Currently the two practitioners' husbands
have been deceived by the web of lies created by Jiang's regime. They are
cooperating with the police in persecuting their wives. [Jiedong City, Guangdong Province] The Chengxi Police Substation Persecutes
Falun Dafa Practitioner Lu Wenjuan The Chengxi Police Substation of Jiedong City illegally searches Falun Dafa
practitioners' homes on a large scale. Practitioner Lu Wenjuan was sent to a

in her home. During detention, policeman Wu Chaofeng beat her while police
instructor Lin Shiliang interrogated her. After that, she was transferred to the
Jiedong Detention Center and then to the brainwashing center for three months.
With powerful righteous thoughts, she walked out of the demon's den nobly and
became destitute and homeless for several months to avoid further persecution.
After she went back home, she was taken away and detained again during the 16th
Party Congress. When she told the policemen, "Cherishing Dafa is cherishing your
own life," Zhen, the director of the detention center, Gao, a police guard, and
another police guard beat her brutally with their shoes until her face became
black and blue all over. Lu Wenjuan has been jailed four times because of her
belief. People responsible for the persecution include: Wu Chaofeng, Lin Shiliang, 86-13802327178 (cell) Wu Zhixiong, 86-13925618098 (cell) [Zhenzhou City, Henan Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Abducted Zhenzhou practitioner Zhao Zhongqiu was illegally taken away while

Camp: Two Policemen Torture a Weak Woman Today I met a family member of a Falun Dafa practitioner who is being
detained in the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp. He told me sadly that his wife is
being detained in the labor camp and is suffering a lot. He said that she was
tortured severely. Since last October, in order to so-called "transform" her,
two policemen tortured her using all possible means, such as cuffing and hanging
her up in the air, electric shocks, and forcing her to half squat down for a
long time. He also said that on the "visiting day" of every month, everyone is
forced to slander Falun Dafa and Falun Dafa's Teacher before they were allowed

plant office every day. Simply because she didn't agree to such an unreasonable
requirement, about four men went to her home and forcibly took her away on April
17th. On April 18th, the Security Section confessed that she was abducted at
home and sent to the so-called "Guangzhou Law Study Seminar" (it is actually a
brainwashing class) located at Xizhoulu Road of Guangzhou City, where she would
be forced to "study" until she was "transformed." Before this case, two Falun Dafa practitioners, Tang Xiuying (female) and
another female practitioner whose last name is Zeng, were arrested while
distributing truth-clarifying materials. They were illegally sentenced to one
and one-half years in prison. Currently they are detained in the Cuotou Forced
Labor Camp. * "610 Office" -- an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong,
