(Clearwisdom.net)

At the end of September 2001, one Dafa material site in Shijiazhuang City was destroyed. The "610 Office"* arrested, in succession, nine Dafa practitioners in the city. These practitioners were listed by the police department as the "key targets" for the aggravated persecution. They were all illegally given secret sentences of over ten years. In May 2003, they were transferred from the detention center to different prisons for detention.

Because Jiang, the chief criminal in the persecution of Falun Gong, was recently charged in lawsuits from several countries, and because Clearwisdom.net continues to expose the persecution that the nine practitioners have received, the corrupt officials hurriedly transferred some of the practitioners to different places.

Mr. Zhao Lishan is a writer from the Hebei Province Federation of Literary and Art Circles. In early July, he was detained in the Hebei Province No. 1 Prison. Recently, he was secretly transferred to Mancheng Prison. Other Dafa practitioners transferred were Mr. Niu Mingang, Mr. Zhang Shijun, and Mr. Yang Xiaojie from Shijiazhuang City. Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Yunman was illegally detained in Taihang Prison.

* "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.
