Suffers Mental Collapse From Persecution Just after 7:00 p.m. on January 20, Ms. Wu Meijuan was taken to the Huanghe
Road Police Station by policemen while she was distributing Falun Gong truth

Persecute Innocent People Zou Aiming was the former head of the Buyunqiao Town Police Station in Qidong
County, Hunan Province. On August 12, 1999, using the pretense of trying to
establish a registry of local Falun Gong practitioners he asked over thirty
local Falun Gong practitioners to the police station. Zou Aiming and those in
charge of the "610 Office," including Zeng Xiangsheng, Luo Dingguang,
and Deng Yungen secretly called in journalists to take video footage from
distance. [The "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.] Subsequently, the
Falun Gong practitioners were falsely charged with "besieging the police
station" and unlawfully sentenced to eighteen months of forced labor. After
suffering eighteen months of continuous torture, any practitioner who refused to
write the "three statements" [renouncing Falun Gong] was held
in custody for two extra months. On November 29, 2002, I was arrested by officers from an out-of-town police
station and taken to a detention center, where inmates tortured me inhumanely.
The police refused to let me go until they had extorted 4,500 yuan, which has
completely depleted me financially. [500 yuan is the average monthly income
of an urban worker.] 3. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Members of "610 Office"

Ming, of the Heat Processing Factory, were taken to the Wuchang Brainwashing

records of Falun Gong practitioner Deng Lizan [Note: Workers in China require
national residency papers in order to work and live in any location within
China. Having one's residence transferred means that the person is rendered an
illegal resident and therefore cannot legally work without proper ID. This is
another form of persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners], and Deng was

Dafa. In the past four years, its staff committed countless immoral deeds. In December 2002, Ruan ordered the "610 Office" to place almost 200
Falun Dafa practitioners across the county under arrest. They ransacked
practitioners' homes, extorted cash, and cursed practitioners. Ruan has
conspired with Chen Dong and other heads of police stations and unlawfully held

Minds of Middle School Students In July 2002, the Knowledge Publishing House published a middle school
textbook called "Anti-Evil Cult Primer". This book was compiled
under the "Notice to Comprehensively Promote Campus Activities to Reject
Evil Cults" issued by the Education Ministry and the Central Committee of
the [Party] Youth League. The entire book is filled with contents
viciously attacking Falun Dafa. It has been used as part of the curriculum of
elementary and middle schools in the countryside. Schools are places where talents are cultivated, and our young people are the
future of the nation. The schools are now filling these young minds with
outright lies. Influenced by such propaganda, it is unclear how much injury is
being done to our children and what future China will embrace. Anybody with a
conscience should be outraged by this state of affairs. Editors and contributors involved in the compilation and publication of this
book: Managing editors: Xiong Yan, Man Yunxin. 13. [Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province] Five Falun Dafa Practitioners,
