2. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Surveillance Software Installed in Internet Cafés

A new software surveillance package has been installed in Internet cafés in Changchun City, Jilin Province. One feature is that as soon as sensitive contents are detected, the screen will be locked up. We know for certain that contents are filtered, but it is less clear if the screen is also monitored. At the same time, the location of the user as well as the number of his or her identity card will be sent to the server within the Internet café or the computing center located in the state security department or the police department. Fellow practitioners who access the web in Internet cafés need to pay close attention to safety issues.

The police forcibly broke into Mr. Zhu Binglin's home after midnight. Mr. Zhu firmly rejected the policemen's demand for his signature. The officers then tried to handcuff Mr. Zhu, who reprimanded them for disregarding the law because of their abuse of torture devices. The officers yelled, "[The law] doesn't apply to you!" They then placed a mask over Mr. Zhu's head and took him away. A 48-hour continuous interrogation was conducted to determine Mr. Zhu's links to any practitioners, and he was deprived of any rest. Mr. Zhu's blood pressure increased dramatically, and he is in very weak condition. The police also unlawfully took away Mr. Zhu's wife, Ms. Zheng Guangrong.

5. [Shenzhen City, Guangzhou Province] Members of "610 Office" and Policemen Unlawfully Take Away Falun Dafa Practitioner Wu Kexue and Injure His Elderly Father

In 2002, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Wu Kexue came to work in Shenzhen City from Wuhan City, Hubei Province. He was working very hard and was rewarded by his workplace. His parents also came to Shenzhen City, and they live together. However, on July 1, 2003, a dozen or so police officers surrounded Mr. Wu at his workplace. These officers were from the Hubei Province "610 Office", the Guangdong Province "610 Office", the Shenzhen City "610 Office", and local police stations. [The "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.] They forcibly took Mr. Wu away and searched his home on the same day. Mr. Wu's 62-year-old father suffered spinal injury as a result of police brutality, and he remains in the hospital to this date. On July 2, a policeman named Zhang viciously beat Mr. Wu. Zhang further threatened that he would break up Wu's family and boasted about how he sent Chen Hao and other Falun Dafa practitioners to prison for ten to eighteen years, although they would face only three-year prison terms if they were sent back to their hometowns. These evil acts and police brutality have caused anger among family, friends and colleagues, who are planning to file lawsuits against the Lianhua Police Station. Mr. Wu Kexue has been on a hunger strike abstaining from water and food in protest of his unlawful arrest. On the evening of July 6, the police unconditionally released him for lack of any evidence of wrongdoing.

Her boy was not able to sleep well or eat normally, and has been crying and asking for his mother. Her husband has been sitting at home as if in a trance.

7. [Liaoning Province] Liaoning Province "610 Office" Starts a New Round of Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners

Recently the Liaoning Province "610 Office" has started a new round of persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners following the detention of practitioner Ms. Li Juan. Ms. Li lives in Huanren County, and is the county deputy Party secretary of the Public Health Bureau. She was unlawfully detained for distributing Falun Dafa materials. The new measures of persecution include screening Falun Dafa practitioners one by one, compiling a complete list of practitioners including their home addresses and identification card numbers. Gainfully employed practitioners are to be forcibly "transformed," otherwise they are threatened with expulsion from their workplaces. So far, two Falun Dafa practitioners in the Linghe District Public Health Bureau have already suffered from this persecution.

8. [Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] Linghe District "610 Office" and Political and Judiciary Committee Unlawfully Arrest Falun Dafa Practitioners Using False Pretext

The public health and education departments of Linghe District in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province have started calling in known Falun Dafa practitioners for a talk. Practitioners are placed under arrest immediately if they refuse to write guarantees to quit practicing Falun Gong. The strategy goes like this: leaders of every work unit (employer) will call in Falun Dafa practitioners for a talk in the district government, where members of the "610 Office" and the political and judiciary committee are already present. If the practitioner refuses to write a guarantee statement and insists on to continuing to practice Falun Gong, police officers waiting downstairs will immediately come to place the practitioner under arrest. So far, several Falun Dafa practitioners have been arrested in this manner and sent directly to the Jinzhou City No. 2 Detention Center.

Ms. Cui Yanqiu was unlawfully incarcerated for one year for stepping forward to validate Falun Dafa. She served a one-year term in the Tangshan Forced Labor Camp. Her term was extended by eight months upon completion of her sentence, as her faith in Falun Dafa remained steadfast. Eight months passed, and she still refused to give in. To this date, she has remained in unlawful custody. On May 7, 2003, the police forcibly placed her and several other steadfast Falun Dafa practitioners into an isolated brainwashing class. Ten police officers are taking turns to torture the practitioners, depriving them of sleep. Ms. Cui Yanqiu has gone on a hunger strike. Her health has completely deteriorated as a result of torture and abuse.

In addition to Ms. Yu, Ms. Tao Juhua, who had been forced out of her home and did not have a place to live, was also arrested. The practitioners were unlawfully held in the Pi County Detention Center. Ms. Yu Xuemei has been on a hunger strike and was thus transferred to the Qingyang District People's Hospital. On the fourth floor of the hospital building, there is a special section for persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners who are on hunger strike or otherwise sick. Several practitioners from Anhui Province are also held on the fourth floor. Ms. Jin Lianhua, and a Falun Dafa practitioner from Anhui Province, both in their twenties, had been unlawfully held for over eight months in the Xindu Detention Center. When both of them were sent to a forced labor camp, it was found that the practitioner from Anhui Province suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis and Ms. Jin has heart disease. However the detention center refused to release them and transferred the Anhui practitioner to the Qingyang District People's Hospital for continued detention.

12. [Qianjiang City, Hubei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Clarifying Truth Unlawfully Captured by Police

On July 11, 2003, the People's Daily of the Party's central organization reported that, Life Is Innocent, a misleading TV series defaming Falun Dafa is to be broadcast to a broader area. We request Falun Dafa practitioners to send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil and thwart this attempt at disinformation.
