(Clearwisdom.net) [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Two Dafa Practitioners Sentenced to 15
and 19 Years of Imprisonment Respectively Mr. Han Li, a postdoctoral student from the Harbin Industrial University, was
sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment for persisting in Falun Dafa cultivation. Mr. Zhang Yueming, a resident from Hegang City, was sentenced to 19 years of
imprisonment for broadcasting truth-clarifying footage on cable TV. [Xingtai City, Hebei Province] Dafa Practitioner Mr. Li Jinfeng's Life is in
Danger from Torture at Handan City's Forced Labor Camp Practitioner Mr. Li Jinfeng was forced to lead a homeless life to avoid
persecution and lived in a fellow practitioner's home in Ningjin County, Hebei
Province. Mr. Li was arrested while constructing truth-clarifying materials. He
is now detained at Handan City's Forced Labor Camp. At present, he has been
tortured so severely that he is extremely emaciated. In addition, due to the
torture, he has three fractured ribs and swelling in his stomach. He can hardly
walk, and his life is in grave danger. [Weihai City, Shandong Province] Dafa Practitioner Ms. Luu Guiling is Staging
a Hunger Strike; Her Life is in Danger Practitioner Ms. Luu Guiling, 42 years old, is a resident of Jiangjiazai
Village, Weihai City. During a large-scale raid to round up Falun Gong
practitioners in April 2002, she was taken to Weihai City's Detention Center.
Later on, along with other practitioners, she staged a hunger strike to protest
the persecution. Over a dozen practitioners had been arrested at that time and
most of them staged a hunger strike. Police tied those practitioners to metal
chairs and exposed them to the baking sun. A few days later, police started to
brutally force-feed them. The Dafa practitioners remained unmoved. Seeing that
this means of torture didn't work, police then attempted to undermine Dafa
practitioners' righteous thoughts through psychological tricks, but they failed
again. In the end, practitioners who had staged a hunger strike were released
one after another. Ms. Luu left after refusing food and drink for over a month.
The authorities in the detention center told personnel in a police station,
"In the future, when you arrest a Falun Gong practitioner, you should
firstly ask him/her whether he will eat. If not, don't bring them in." Luu was forced to leave home to avoid further persecution and did
truth-clarifying work together with fellow practitioners. In January 2003, she
was arrested again and sent to Weihai City Detention Center. All along during
this period, Luu Guiling was refusing food and drink. At the beginning of June,
she was sent to Weihai City's Municipal Hospital for emergency treatment. Some
practitioners went and visited her. She was lying in bed, emaciated and on the
verge of death, but she was still shackled and handcuffed. After fellow
practitioners discovered her condition, they have been sending righteous
thoughts to remove the evil factors in other dimensions that are behind her
persecution. It's said that Luu was sent back to the detention center for persecution. Her
current situation is unknown. Phone numbers of responsible work units: Detention center: 86-531-5812773 5812775
(office) Reception room: 86-531-5200089 Office of deputy director of the Police Department: 86-531-5235217 [Shifang City, Sichuan Province] The City "610 Office" Trains

Persecution Against Dafa Practitioners Recently, Shifang City "610 Office" perpetrators called on leaders
of some street administrative offices, corporations and other units to attend a
so-called "Transformation Training Class" in an attempt to reinforce
the persecutors' torture methods and aggravate the persecution against Dafa
practitioners. [Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province] The City "610 Office" Starts
Another Brainwashing Campaign Recently, using the excuse of "acknowledging the thoughts of those Dafa
practitioners who had been released after illegal detention," Guangzhou
City "610 Office" authorities sent practitioners whose names are on
their list to the Longdong Brainwashing Center in groups. They have put two or
three groups of Falun Gong practitioners through brainwashing already. [Anshan City, Liaoning Province] The Security Section Police Beat a Dafa
Practitioner into a Coma and then Throw Him into the Wilderness On May 24, 2003, perpetrators from the Security Section of Anshan City Police
Department illegally arrested a homeless Dafa practitioner and confiscated all
of his belongings. The lawless policemen brutally beat the Dafa practitioner up
because he refused to cooperate with their unreasonable requests. These inhumane
persecutors actually tossed this Dafa practitioner into the wilderness after he
was tortured into a coma. [Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Li Qingzhen, a Retired Teacher from
Shijiazhuang University of Geosciences, is Detained and Being Persecuted at a
Brainwashing Center In the middle of April, Li Qingzhen was sent to the Shijiazhuang City
Brainwashing Center by a unit and street administrative office. [Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province] Dafa Practitioner Mr. Chen Xianzhang, a
Retired Engineer from Guangdong Province's Education Collage, is Detained at the
Shijin Brainwashing Center Mr. Chen Xianzhang, about 70 years old, a Dafa practitioner from Guangzhou
City, is a retired engineer from Guangdong Province's Education College. Because
he firmly believes in Falun Dafa, he has been detained at various brainwashing
classes. After several imprisonments, nobody even knows where he is detained
currently. The latest information we have tells us that he was detained at
Guangzhou City's Shijin Brainwashing Center. His blood pressure is very high,
but "610 Office" personnel forbid him from seeing a doctor and even
forbid him from talking with anyone. *"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. June 22, 2003
