Mr. Ou Keshun, 40 years old, was a Falun Gong practitioner who lived in
Songyu Village, Linli County, Hunan Province. Before he practiced Falun Gong, he
had leukemia and was bedridden. After practicing Falun Gong for three months, he
was able to walk again; after six months, he returned to the fields to work and
could carry as much as 50 kilograms (110 lbs.). He went to the hospital for a
physical examination and was verified as completely recovered. However, at the
end of 2000, he was abducted and sent to the Changde Drug Addiction Therapy
Center to be brainwashed. He was fiercely beaten to death by a policeman called
Liu. His sister later went to the police to seek justice, yet was also sentenced
to three years in jail.
Ms. Yi Hong, 36 years old, is an employee of the Agriculture Bank in
Dingcheng district, Changde City. Ms. Zhang Lan is 38 years old. Both of them
are Falun Gong practitioners from Changde. At the end of December 2000, Ms.

subjected to brainwashing. Ms. Yi was detained in Dingcheng No. 2 Detention
Center and Ms. Zhang was detained in the Wuling Detention Center. Ms. Yi Hong

whereabouts are unknown.
Mr. Jiang Min, 50 years old, is a practitioner in Changde City. At the
beginning of 2001, he was detained by the "610 Office" in Dingcheng
No. 2 Detention Center and was subjected to brainwashing. Later, the "610
Office" forced his sister to bring him back and tried to persuade him to
give up practicing Falun Dafa. Mr. Jiang refused. "610" officers
arrested him again and sent him to the Dingcheng No. 1 Detention Center. On the
way there, Zhou, the director of the security office, was killed in a car
accident.
2. [Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province] Two University Students Are Sentenced
to Labor Camp
Mr. Shen Min, a Falun Gong practitioner from Baiyun District, is a student at
the Guangzhou International Business and Foreign Language University. His grades
are excellent and his classmates like him very much. He went to Beijing to
appeal twice; when it was close to graduation, he was detained in the Guangzhou
No. 1 Labor Camp. His determined righteous thoughts helped other practitioners
to recover from brainwashing.
Mr. Tan Weichang, a Falun Gong practitioner, graduated from Zhongshan
University. He was previously an employee of Guangzhou P&G Company, yet
merely because he clarified the truth, he was sentenced to three years at
Guangzhou No. 1 Labor Camp. There, he was forced to do heavy labor. Regardless,
his determination to practice Falun Dafa did not diminish one bit.
People Responsible for the Persecution:
Liang Lijian, a policeman in the education department in Baiyun District, is
responsible for arresting Falun Gong practitioners. He has arrested Wu Zhiping
and Lin Qing etc.
3. [Jingshan County, Hubei Province] Police Force-Feed Falun Gong
practitioners and Forge Materials
On June 18, 2003, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Dong Dengzhi and several other
practitioners went to Sunqiao Town, Jingshan County, Hubei Province to clarify
the truth and were reported by bad people. They were arrested by policemen and
sent to Jingshan No. 1 Detention Center and persecuted. Ms. Dong started a
hunger and water strike to protest the illegal detention and suffered savage
forced-feeding and beating. Four to five persons pressed Ms. Dong down, and the
jail doctor Xu Song stirred the tube around in her stomach and esophagus as
so-called "forced-feeding", kicked her stomach and abdomen, causing
her to nearly suffocate. Xu lashed Ms. Dong's face. Several policemen present,
including Xia Mingfang did not say one word. A policewoman even poked fun.
Family members were not allowed to visit.
The Sunqiao Town Police Branch and the Jingshan County Police Department
joined forces to persecute Ms. Dong. They fabricated materials to frame her,
which was later used as "evidence" to sentence her to two years in a
labor camp.
Ms. Wang Yuchen, 48 years old, is a teacher at the Suizhou Gear Factory
Dependent's School. During this year's summer vacation she brought some
truth-clarifying materials to her mother's hometown in Baokang County, Hubei
Province. On July 20 when she distributed those materials, she was reported by
someone and was illegally arrested by the local police. She was detained in
Baokang. No family members are allowed to visit her. She is still detained, and
the details of her situation are not clear.
4. [Jiutai City, Jilin Province] Xiao Guobing Is Detained In Jiutai Labor
Camp
Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Xiao Guobing is detained in Jiutai Labor Camp,
Team Three. There, he stopped policemen from playing a video slandering Teacher
and Dafa, resisted the persecution by refusing to do forced labor, and they
therefore extended his prison term by ten months. Mr. Xiao is now on a hunger
strike to protest. He was thrown into a small cell with his hands shackled, and
is suffering forced-feeding and other tortures.
5. [Jilin Province] Jailed Falun Gong Practitioners Firmly Deny the Old
Forces' Arrangements
During the July 20 anniversary, several Falun Gong practitioners detained in
the Jilin Female Jail Education Team completely denied the old forces'
arrangements, refused to acknowledge that Dafa practitioners are guilty, and
refused to put on nametags. Therefore, the policemen retaliated by forbidding
family members to visit them and forbidding them to save money to buy items for
their daily needs.
In addition, the 'education' team changed their usual attitude, and adopted a
hypocritical means to attempt to confuse Falun Gong practitioners. They changed
the heavy forced labor work to learning to weave woolen sweaters. However, there
are still two one-hour "study" sessions, one in the morning and one at
night. Policemen frequently talk with practitioners, superficially as though
they care about them, whereas in fact it is for brainwashing. They attempted to
have Falun Gong practitioners automatically become "transformed".

6. [Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] The Chief of Reformatory Center
Obstructs The Investigation
Recently, a policeman who has a sense of justice in Jinzhou Labor Camp
reported to the Liaoning Judicatory Department that police in Jinzhou Reform
Center beat Falun Gong practitioners and caused the fracture of two ribs.
Liaoning Judicatory Department did not notify the Jinzhou Reformatory Center in
advance and came to investigate the incident, demanding to see the Falun Gong
practitioners who were tortured. The director of the Reform Center, Zhang
Haiping tried to obstruct the investigation. Since he could not prevent it, he
found another person to pose as the practitioner in question, thereby deceiving
the investigators.
