On the evening of February 7, Falun Dafa practitioners from Lishizhai in the Fushun City Economic Development Zone went to Danan Village to distribute materials they wrote for clarifying the truth.

2. [Huludao City, Liaoning Province] An Outstanding Teacher Arrested

On March 8, 2004, Ms. Sun Weilan, director of the Qiupigou Elementary School in Nanpiao District, Huludao City, Liaoning Province, was arrested at school by Gao Hongsen of the public security division. Parents of students turned her in to the police for telling the students about Falun Dafa. At 10:40 a.m. on March 8, Gao led two police officers to unlawfully enter and search Ms. Sun's home, taking away many Falun Dafa books.

Ms. Sun received the award of "Outstanding Teacher" several years in a row. In the summer of 2003, she found over 10,000 yuan in cash and managed to find the owner. She returned the entire amount of cash but left without giving her name. The owner went through a lot of trouble to find out it was Ms. Sun who did this and offered a large percentage in return for the favor. Ms. Sun firmly declined. The owner was greatly moved and wrote a letter to the school. The local newspaper and television station both carried a report on the event.

3. [Sanmenxia City, Henan Province] Shaan County Court Unlawfully Sentences Falun Dafa Practitioners to Prison

On January 13, 2004 (a week before the Chinese Spring Festival), the Shaan County Court in Sanmenxia City, Henan Province held secret trials and sentenced Falun Dafa practitioners Mr. Wang Fa and Mr. Qin Fajun each to ten years in prison.

He went on hunger strike numerous times and suffered from inhumane force-feeding. His physical condition is very weak, and he cannot walk steadily. He has lost seven or eight teeth when his mouth was being pried open for force-feeding. The remaining teeth have all been loosened.

Ms. Liu Juhua, 63, is from Guangou Village, Zhangwan Township, Shaan County. On July 22, 2002, she was taken to the Shaan County Detention Center by officers from Shaan County Police Department for distributing Falun Gong truth-clarifying materials.
