[Changchun City, Jilin Province] Jilin University Expels Students Who Refuse to Sign Statements Against Falun Dafa

Recently, Jilin University officials had organized students to hold a "signing and avowing ceremony." They forced the students to defame Dafa. Those students who refused to sign a certain document were to be expelled. So far, seven or eight students have been expelled already. This action by officials at Jilin University is openly depriving citizens of their inviolable freedom of belief and their right to an education as endowed by the Chinese Constitution.

[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] A Student Who Studied in Japan is Sentenced to Ten Years Imprisonment

Dafa practitioner Xie Yunhuan from Jidong County was studying in Japan. He came back to China in 2000 to appeal for Falun Gong and was later sentenced to ten years of imprisonment. He is now incarcerated at the Mudanjiang Prison. All practitioners from Heilongjiang Province are concentrated there. When family members visit the practitioners, guards are constantly present, observing and listening. The visitors and practitioner are not allowed to talk freely. Monitors have also been installed. Inside sources report that several Dafa practitioners have been tortured there and then died.

Detention Place of Xie Yunhuan: No.3 Team, No.14 Prison Section, Mudanjiang Prison, P.O. Box 862, Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, P.R.C. Postal code: 157021.

[Qingyang City, Gansu Province] A Newly Released Document Defames Dafa

By the end of 2003, the government of Huan County, Qingyang City had released a new document, No.141, (2003) to slander Falun Dafa.

The county government issued the document to all towns, villages and direct units under it. The document contains language that stipulates all the towns, all villages and direct units have to participate in this campaign. They will train the responsible people in the countryside, especially the leaders of villages, and also of middle schools and primary schools. This is another campaign of persecution that the Jiang regime is conducting to spread defamatory propaganda to people in the countryside and poison the minds of the people living in countryside who don't have a high education.

[Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Dalian City's Police Department/National Security Team Section Destroys Several Dafa Materials Production Sites

The National Security Team/Dalian City's Police Department is located at 15 Bailan Street, Zhongshan Square South, Dalian City. It is comprised of policemen transferred from districts inside and outside of Dalian City. They are plainclothes policemen and use cell phones to communicate with each other. They tap practitioners' phones, monitor, follow and arrest them, destroy Dafa materials production sites. At present, several Dafa materials production centers have been destroyed. Much equipment, cash and literature have been confiscated and numerous Dafa practitioners are being arrested. Further details are being investigated.

[Tianjin] Authorities from the Dagang District Offer a High Monetary Reward for Reporting Dafa Practitioners to Police

Authorities from the Dagang District often unduly arrest Dafa practitioners. According to known statistics, eight Dafa practitioners had been arrested in 2003. Now the enforcers of Jiang's orders even issued a vicious decree that offers a 10,000 Yuan reward [500 Yuan is the average monthly salary for urban workers in China] to whoever reports Dafa practitioners to police. This vicious order has made some people to strengthen surveillance and patrols against Falun Gong practitioners, due to the high reward. Even some people who were kind in the past and knew the facts about Falun Dafa were enticed by this high reward.

Another inside scoop: recently, the authorities have allocated money to change cell phone numbers and stationary phone numbers for those personnel in the police and "610 Office*" system who have murdered practitioners and actively persecuted Falun Gong. They shifted people around in the police system so as to prevent Dafa practitioners from locating them, publishing their information on the internet and exposing their crimes to the international community.. On the evening of December 31, 2003, Dagang District's police system converted almost all officers into plainclothes agents. They claimed this to be a"Highest State of Alert." We have heard that this state of alert will be kept in effect indefinitely.

*"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.

[Zizhong County, Sichuan Province] Dafa Practitioner Yu Chuancheng is Put into the Nanmusi Forced Labor Camp

During the evening of September 17, 2003, policemen from Renhe District's Police Station arrested Dafa practitioner Yu Chuancheng from Panzhihua City who was released within two months. On December 1, 2003, policemen from Renhe District's Police Station again duped the practitioner to come to the police station with the excuse of some office procedure. They then sent Yu Chuancheng immediately to the Nanmusi Forced Labor Camp. We heard that Yu Chuancheng was ordered to report his whereabouts to the police in advance.

[Jilin City, Jilin Province] Information About Tuchengzi Township

On November 23, 2003, the Tuchengzi Township Government issued a document, and set up a team to persecute Dafa practitioners.

Team leader Hou Jisheng is secretary for Tuchengzi Township/Changyi District. His phone number is 86-432-3516806 (home) £¬and 4978201 (work);

Enforcers in this township government have been following Jiang's regime since July 20, 1999, to persecute Falun Gong practitioners and their family members. They fined practitioners, sent them to detention centers, forced labor camps and brainwashing classes, no matter they are young or old. They don't allocate practitioners a farm field to work on or don't let them work their own fields. During the night of March 10, 2001, they sent 12 practitioners to Changyi District's Brainwashing Class, including two entire families so nobody could take care of their home and fields.

A 70-year-old villager, Ms. Chang Yueju from Wujiazi Village was sent to a brainwashing session for two months only because she practices Falun Dafa. Villager Hou Dagang and his family from Niesima Village were forced to leave home and live in exile. Ms. Zhao Qi, a 14-year-old student, clarified the truth of Falun Gong to her principal Jin Wen, but in the evening of March 10, 2001, she was forced to attend the Changyi District's Brainwashing session, together with her mother. Her principal and some village officials were responsible for forcing her into the brainwashing session. She has since been expelled from the school and was not allowed to take any exams.

[China] China Women's Publishing Co. Fabricate Information to Slander Dafa

To slander Falun Gong and deceive juveniles, much made-up information was edited into the fifth chapter of a text called "Advocating Science and Spreading Civilization" published by China Women's Publishing as advanced reading materials for juveniles.

The book is edited by persons from the National Juvenile Patriotic Reading Activities Editorial Committee, distributed by China Women's Publishing Co.

[Xingyi City, Guizhou Province] Xingyi City's Political and Judiciary Committee Sets up Privately Run Prison to Extort Money

Since September 2003, Xingyi City's Police and Judiciary Committee in Guizhou City has closely followed orders from enforcers in the "610 Office." to force work units to cooperate with their persecution. The committee worked with officials from the work units to deceive the practitioners and make them go to brainwashing classes. These enforcers charge the work units 7,000 Yuan every month. The work units then pass the costs and expenses on to practitioners; each brainwashing session lasts two months. If the practitioner had not given up his Dafa practice by then, the brainwashing term gets extended by one month. If the practitioner still refuses to renounce his/her belief in Falun Dafa after three months of brainwashing, the brainwashing session organizers charge the practitioners work units huge amounts of money. In return the work units again pass on the expenses and costs to individual practitioners.

They stole a computer, cash and a deposit certificate. In an attempt to arrest more practitioners, they also broke into others' homes. The deed made many practitioners homeless in order to escape the persecution and avoid arrest.

[Chendu City, Sichuan Province] Beizhan Police Precinct's Lawless Police Officers Extorted Money from Dafa Practitioner Zhou Fengqun

Someone reported 73-year-old Dafa practitioner Zhou Fengqun to police when he/she [gender unknown] was distributing Falun Gong truth-clarifying video CDs. As a result, the practitioner was captured and detained at Chendu City's Beizhan Police Precinct. Officers there took the opportunity to extort 5,000 Yuan from him before releasing him. [500Yuan is the average monthly income in urban areas of China] They claimed that, "The 5,000 Yuan is refundable as long as no similar problems crop up within three months." Half a year later, when Zhou Fengqun asked the policemen to return hi/her money, they made a lot of excuses but never did return the money.

[Laiwu City, Shandong Province] Arrest of Dafa Practitioner Li Ying

Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Ying, about 40 years old, works for Laiwu City's Laigang Ironworks in Shandong Province. On the afternoon of December 29, 2003, Jiao Yuqi, chief of the Political and Security Section of the Yinshan Police Precinct (used to be the Laiwu City's Steel Company Police Precinct) arrested her and put her into the factory's security section. They suspected her of sending her mother some Dafa truth-clarifying materials and used that as an excuse for the unlawful arrest. After Li Ying was arrested, Jiao Yuqi led other persons and searched Li Ying's house but found nothing. It was reported that policemen stated that if Li Ying did not give up her belief before the Spring Festival, they would detain her for one month or send her to a forced labor camp.

[Tianjin] Torture of Dafa Practitioners in Tiajin City's Forced Labor Camp

Policemen in Tiajin City's Female Forced Labor Camp torment those Dafa practitioners who are steadfast in their belief in various ways. They did not allow practitioners to talk with each other or write to their families. They did not allow family members to visit practitioners. But, if some family wrote a letter to persuade practitioners to give up the Falun Gong practice, [the camp censors all mail and reads it first before passing it to the person for whom it is intended] police would force practitioners to read it; otherwise, they beat practitioners or punished them by forcing them to stand still for a long time. Practitioners are forced to pick beans on a daily basis for 18 to 20 hours; those younger than 50 years old have to unload the bags full of beans weighing 50 to 60 kg (approximately 130 lbs.) from the trucks.

When wardens did not have enough work to keep practitioners working until midnight, they still did not permit practitioners to sleep. They forced practitioners to "sit on small stools" until 1:00 a.m. Then the night shift warden would humiliate practitioners or punish them by forcing them to stand straight for a long time. Furthermore, lawless policemen even did not allow practitioner's families to go to work, but forced them to stay at the forced labor camp. They intended to threaten Dafa practitioners to give up their belief by cutting off their family's economic resources. When the incarcerated person's detention term expired, the policemen didn't release the practitioner; instead, they extended the detention terms without any legal procedure or cause. In order to force Dafa practitioners to give up their cultivation practice, policemen in the forced labor camp subjected the practitioners to all kinds of torture and abuse.

[Suizhou City, Hubei Province] Seeing Through the City's "610 Office" Fraudulent "Greeting"

1. Recently, Suizhou City's "610 Office" in Hubei Province, in collusion with the leaders of the city's Civil Administration Bureau and practitioners' work units or residential administration committees are bringing money, gifts and a video camera to visit certain people. Their main targets were those who gave up practicing Falun Gong and embraced a wrong path (due to brutal torture and brainwashing). They also targeted those who gave in to their tormentors at labor camps but still read Falun Gong books and practice the exercises. They also visited several determined Falun Gong practitioners, but these practitioners rebuffed their fraudulent efforts and did not let them in.

2. In order to deceive people, the city's TV station broadcast the video of a few collaborators defaming Dafa. The officials wanted to further control the collaborators in an attempt to keep the "transform quota" and stop Dafa practitioners from clarifying the truth to local people. Many Dafa practitioners have already seen through their deceit.
