May 25, 2003 (Clearwisdom.net) [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Illegal Detention of
Nearly 1,400 Dafa Practitioners at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp [Benxi City, Liaoning Province] SARS Still out of Control;
Plague Makes a Comeback [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Police Illegally Arrest Dafa
Practitioner Ms. Duan Yuying On March 16, 2003, practitioner Ms. Duan Yuying was illegally
arrested while distributing flyers at a railway station. She is now detained at
the Dongxihu Detention Center. Duan Yuying had already been unlawfully detained
five times. The first time she was detained after she went to Beijing to appeal;
the second time she was reported to police for doing the exercises outdoors; the
third time she was arrested for distributing truth-clarifying materials; the
fourth time she was reported to police for group study at a fellow
practitioner's home; and the fifth time she was taken away because she hung up a
banner on her own balcony. [Jinan City, Shandong Province] Police from Silicun Police
Station Trap and Arrest Dafa Practitioner Hao Guangping On April 3, 2003, personnel from Jinan City's
Telecommunication Residential Committee deceived practitioner Ms. Hao Guangping
into coming to the committee. She lives in the Jinan City's Telecommunication
Residential area, located in the central part of Jinan City. Some policemen from
the Silicun Police Precinct, including one named Zhao Hongsheng, then forcibly
took her from the committee room to the Silicun Police Precinct. At present, Hao
Guangping's whereabouts are unknown. The following is her story. Dafa practitioner Hao Guangping had been illegally taken to a brainwashing
center and, under coercion and great pressure, had been so-called "transformed."
After returning home, she felt terrible for betraying
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" under the great pressure. She had benefited
both physically and mentally from practicing Dafa and she knew clearly that Dafa
is the Great Fa, the genuine, orthodox law. After a mental struggle, she
realized "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" is one's life necessity and one
must speak the truth; this is the criterion for being a good person. She then
wrote a solemn experience-sharing article on cultivating in Dafa, how her family
and she herself had benefited from Dafa, and the persecution she had endured
after July 20, 1999, including paying a huge "fine" of 100,000 Yuan*. In March
2003, she mailed two copies of this letter of true experiences to Jinan City's
Legal Training Center and Shen Xide, director of Political & Judiciary Committee
of street administrative office respectively. This letter, though, has become an
excuse to further persecute her and led to the collaboration between the Jinan
City's Telecommunication Residential Committee and the Silicun Police Precinct;
they were the ones who set up a trap to arrest her. Now, Hao Guangping's relatives and friends have had their
phones tapped and special agents follow her family members. [Linyi City, Shandong Province] Police Abduct Dafa
Practitioner Wang Qingzhong, Director of Linyi Normal University's Affiliated
Mechanical Factory At around 4:00 p.m. on May 8, 2003, police ransacked the home
of 46-year-old Dafa practitioner Mr. Wang Qingzhong and confiscated some Dafa

Department Public Information & Security Supervision Subsidiary Violates
Citizens' Rights of Privacy Recently, the Public Information & Security Supervision
Subsidiary from Shenzhen City's Police Department issued a notice requesting all
work units and individuals who have Internet connections to report their user
names, ID numbers, means of contact, including telephone numbers and addresses,
email address, IP addresses and others for setting up files. Actually, their
real purpose is to obtain information about local practitioners and
practitioners from other places and to harass them by Internet surveillance for
future persecution. [Liu'an City, Anhui Province] Details of the Persecution
against Practitioner Ms. Sun Yishu Practitioner Ms. Sun Yishu was a laid-off worker from Liu'an
City's Textile Mill. After she was laid off she ran a printing business in Hefei
City. Ms. Sun was physically weak prior to practicing Falun Dafa. After she
practiced Falun Gong she became healthy. Following July 20, 1999, she went to
Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and was detained for ten months by the police
from Liu'an City at a detention center. Later on, her family bailed her out. In
June 2001 she was illegally detained again. Liu'an City "610 Office" enforcers
sentenced her to two years of forced labor. Because she was determined in her
belief in Dafa while in the labor camp, they sent her to a "transforming class"
for further persecution. Many collaborators [former practitioners who went
astray due to brainwashing] take turns to brainwash her and deprive her of
sleep. To this day, Ms. Sun is still being persecuted. [Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Dalian Practitioners, Please
Be Alert! According to security personnel from a police department,
right now, each police office and all the street committees in Dalian City are
contacting work units to take a count of Falun Gong practitioners. [Xinxiang City, Henan Province] Cases of Persecution in
Xinxiang City's Female Prison Xinxiang City's Female Prison is located at the southwest
corner of Xinxiang City. There are eight teams in the prison. Most of the
illegally sentenced female practitioners detained there are from Henan Province.
Because of the information blockade, the persecution against Dafa practitioners
in that place has not been exposed. We do know, though, that the police force
each visiting family member to curse Dafa. From that alone we can tell how evil
the environment is inside. Now, the prison does not permit any visits, using
SARS as an excuse. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Criminals in the Chaoyanggou
Forced Labor Camp Beat Practitioners Practitioners detained at Changchun City's Chaoyanggou Labor
Camp do not accept the arrangements by old forces, and they are very determined
in Dafa. The policemen in the camp have escalated the persecution. For example,
they do not release those practitioners whose detention terms have expired and
do not permit practitioners' relatives to visit. In addition, these policemen
also instigate criminals to beat practitioners and promised those criminals
reduced prison terms if they could get practitioners to give up cultivation.
Chief warden of the labor camp is Wang; his phone number is: 86-431-4835680. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Practitioner Hou Jiarong
and His Wife Wu Shaoli are Detained at the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp Practitioner Mr. Hou Jiarong and his wife Ms. Wu Shaoli are
from Daowai District in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. Their home address
is Qingxing Street No. 6, Daowai District. They started practicing Falun Gong in
1995. In August 2002, the police ransacked their home and arrested the couple.
Currently they are still detained in the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp. [Fushun City, Liaoning Province] Illegal Detention of Dafa

Forced Labor Camp On June 28, 2002, lawless policeman Cheng Rui from the
Jiangjun Police Precinct, and other policemen from Section No. 1 Fushun City
Police Department arrested practitioner Liu Guangying. She had been living a
homeless life to avoid being arrested for the past 3 ? months. After she was
illegally detained at Fushun City's Wujiabao Forced Labor Camp for two days,
they unlawfully sentenced her to three years of forced labor and transferred her
to Shenyang City's Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. The No.1 Section of Fushun City Police Department: Chief Yang, cell
phone: 86-13504235432, office: 86-413-2786445 Peng Yue, cell phone:

Practitioner Li Jianhua, an Employee of the City's Physical Therapy Hospital,
and His Wife On May 23, some personnel from the Physical Therapy Hospital
and some local policemen illegally arrested Mr. Li Jianhua and his wife Ms. Zhao
from home. Their whereabouts are unknown. Their underage child and elderly
parents are left home without care. Ms. Zhao's mother is partially paralyzed due
to a stroke. We sincerely hope that Dafa practitioners and people with a sense
of justice can rescue them quickly. Mayor's Office in Xingcheng City, Liaoning Province: Fax

Authorities Use the Excuse of SARS to Prevent Dafa Practitioners' Families from
Visiting Them [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Illegal Detention of
Nearly 1,400 Dafa Practitioners at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp Nearly 1,400 Dafa practitioners are illegally detained at the
No.2 Female Center of the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. Every day, the camp
officials forcibly brainwash Dafa practitioners by compelling them to view or
listen to all kind of programs slandering Master Li Hongzhi and Dafa. They also
force Dafa practitioners to talk about and write down their views. If the ideas
they express are not consistent with the officials' viewpoints, the Dafa
practitioners would then be handcuffed to a heating pipe. In this position they
can neither squat nor stand up. In the winter, lawless policemen forcibly
removed practitioners' clothing, leaving them only their underwear, and then
exposed the practitioners to freezing temperatures outside in the yard. Another
way that the lawless policemen torture practitioners is by prohibiting them to
use the toilet. They also forbid the family to visit those practitioners who
firmly hold on to their belief in Dafa. Now they prohibit family visits because
of SARS. This persecution has severely harmed Dafa practitioners, both
physically and mentally. [Benxi City, Liaoning Province] SARS Still out of Control;
Plague Makes a Comeback Bubonic plague is quietly on the rise in Mainland China, even
before SARS is under control. Recently in Xiao City, Benxi City, Liaoning
Province, nearly a hundred people have become infected with bubonic plague.
Because of the information blockade, the extent of cases in other areas is
unknown. *500 Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China. **"610 Office" is 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.
