The General Administration of Broadcasting and Television of China has set up a surveillance station at the fourteenth kilometer along Hashuang Road in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. Most of the equipment has been imported from the United States. It has been learned that this is the largest television and radio transmission, reception, and interference station in northeast China. The purpose is to monitor and interfere with any television signals sent by Falun Dafa practitioners via television or radio. The installation has been completed and is expected to be in operation on October 1.

Early in the morning on August 21, a Falun Gong materials storage site in Boyuquan District in Yingkou City was sabotaged. A male Falun Gong practitioner successfully walked away. Two female practitioners (one is named Li Fengmei) were illegally thrown into the Boyuquan No. 3 Detention Center. The police also took away all the equipment.

It has been learned that the police are planning to transfer the two practitioners to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. The older practitioner has already been transferred to the Zhanqian Division of Police Department in Yingkou City.

Around 6:00 or 7:00 a.m. on August 13, 2003, officers from the Shiying Police Station arrived at Ms. Gao Baoxiang's home ordering her to write statements of guarantee renouncing Falun Gong, which she rejected. Ms. Gao was not feeling well throughout the four hours when the officers were harassing her. The officers did not leave until Ms. Gao's body started to have spasms. But in a minute, two officers returned, announcing, "It doesn't matter if your body cramps. If you don't write the statement of guarantee, we're going to call in an ambulance. We will then take you to the detention center." Ms. Gao again firmly rejected the demand. The officers had to leave. Ms. Gao was thus able to leave her home. Ten minutes later, the Shiying Police Station sent in two vehicles packed with policemen. Ms. Gao has been staying away from her home ever since. (Note: Ms. Gao was living with her teenage daughter.)

Mr. Zhang Shenyou was turned in to the police by an informant. He jumped out of the back window and was forced into a pond by officers from the local police station. Zhang was illegally arrested after officers fired gun shots. For carrying out this arrest, the Xinzhou Division of Police Department has been awarded 20,000 Yuan, and the Cangbu Police Station was awarded 2,000 Yuan. The informant received 4,000 (although the public notice promised a reward of 5,000 Yuan). [500 Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China.] Mr. Zhang has already broken away from police custody.

Liu Junshun, Zhou Yingjie, Yu Shangda and others in the Xinzhou District "610 Office" [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].coerced the education commission to hold brainwashing classes during the summer vacation. The classes were held in two sessions in the towns of Cangfu and Chengguan. One session was held in the beginning and the other at the end of July. Practitioners in the school system were forced to write "three statements" in brainwashing classes. Anyone who did not comply would face dismissal from their job. An overwhelming number of practitioners refused to renounce their beliefs, and the scheme of the "610 Office" was thwarted.

Leaders of the "610 Office" are:

Liu Junshun: 86-27-86925760.
Zhou Yingjie: 86-13871531628 (mobile).
Yu Shangda: 86-27-86929388.

Around 6:30 a.m. on March 7, 2003, Mr. Wang Kangning went to pay a brief visit to a fellow practitioner. Within half an hour, an informant called the police. Four officers from the Hongqi Police Station took Mr. Wang to the police station and locked him in a wooden cage. The officers also took 960 Yuan Wang was carrying. After being brutally tortured during for three days at the Hongqi Police Station, on the fourth day Mr. Wang received a sentence from Qingdao City of 10 years in prison.

Evil scoundrels in Benxi City are planning on holding brainwashing classes again in September to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. A campaign has been under way to abduct attendees to the brainwashing facility.

After many Wuhan Falun Dafa practitioners were released home after their illegal terms of forced labor had expired, local police stations have made up all kinds of excuses to prevent them from getting their names restored in residential books or issuing identification cards. This has effectively prevented practitioners from looking for jobs and made it very hard for them in all aspects of life.

Zhengzhou Falun Dafa practitioners Mr. Quan Peijian, Ms. Niu Tongqing, Ms. Feng Caiqin, and Ms. Liu Huiling remain in custody at (Section 8 of) the Zhengzhou City No. 1 Detention Center. The police have brutally tortured the practitioners and issued so-called arrest warrants.

In early June 2003, Chengdu police illegally arrested eight Falun Dafa practitioners who were clarifying the facts of Falun Gong to the public. Among the arrested, Ms. Luo Yingjie is an elderly retired teacher at age 74. The practitioners are being held in the Chengdu City Detention Center. More details are not yet available.

Recently the Fuyang police have gone all out in rounding up Falun Dafa practitioners who have been forced out of their homes. On August 18, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Gao Xiuming went out around noon. She has not yet returned. It is likely she has been abducted by the police.

It was near dusk on August 14, 2003. Ms. Li Yanyan was followed by police officers when she went to a friend's home in the Asian Olympic Games area. Officers from the Asian Olympic Games Police Station and cadres from the local neighborhood administrative office pounded on the door. Ms. Li was in the shower and did not open the door. The police then set up fire-fighting ladders and climbed up to the sixth floor and smashed the windows to break in. Officers dragged and pulled Ms. Li and took her away. Neighbors and onlookers were sickened and shocked at the police brutality. The officers, however, made up lies that the utilities in Ms. Li's friend's home needed emergency repair work. Later Ms. Li Yanyan was taken to the Chaoyang District Division of Police Department in Beijing.

Telephone numbers of responsible parties are listed below.
