Latest News from China -- July 26, 2004 (Clearwisdom.net) 1. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Hanyang District Court Secretly Sentences
Several Dafa Practitioners On March 31, 2004, Hanyang District Court secretly sentenced practitioners
Liu Qingshui, Wu Zhiqiang, Wang Jinsong, and Zhang Quanqing. Wu Zhiqiang was
sentenced to three and a half years of imprisonment. Others were sentenced to
three years. Liu Qingshui and Wu Zhiqiang appealed right away. Wuhan City's Intermediate
People's Court ignored the appeal after a two-month delay and kept the original
sentence. On June 7 and June 8, their family members visited them. That was over
a month ago and we have not had any additional information about them since.
Their whereabouts are unknown. Their families also have no idea about where
they'd been sent for imprisonment. 2. [Huludao City, Liaoning Province] Police Arrest Dafa Practitioner Zhang
Sujie At around 7:00 a.m. on July 20, 2004, officers from the Shaheying Police
Station went to Zhangba Village, Shaheying Township and arrested practitioner
Ms. Zhang Sujie. Clearwisdom.net had reported Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Sujie's experience
of going to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. In late June 2004, after some officials
read that article, they attempted to trick Zhang Sujie into telling them who
sent her article to Clearwisdom.net, but didn't succeed. Later Zhang Sujie had a
stomachache and vomited for a long time, which left the policemen no choice but
to tell her husband to take her home. It has been reported that Zhang Sujie is currently detained in Qitun Village.
It's unknown which detention center she is in. Telephone number for the Shaheying Police Station: 86-429-4155010; 3. [Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioner Qi Fengzhen Escapes
from a Brainwashing Center On the afternoon of May 31, 2004, Liu Zhanlu and other policemen arrested
practitioner Qi Fengzhen, who lives in Liuhuabeili, the Linghe District. Before Qi Fengzhen started practicing Falun Gong, she was extremely weak and
had a disability. She often had to take medicine and injections. As a laid-off
worker, she couldn't afford the medication. Her body manifested the symptoms of
bone tumors. She was then so desperate that she wanted to commit suicide, but
someone introduced her to Falun Dafa. During her several years of cultivation
her health was so good that she didn't need to take one pill or have one
injection. She was put into a brainwashing center, and police tried to coerce her into
renouncing her belief. She sternly told the personnel at the brainwashing
center, "Everyone is writing his own history and decides their own future. Good
is rewarded with good, and evil is met with evil. Falun Dafa only benefits the
country. Freedom of belief is a right bestowed to every citizen by the
Constitution. I have not violated any law! It is you who are violating the law."
In order to protest the persecution against her, Qi Fengzhen staged a hunger
strike. The next morning she suddenly fainted. Li Xiejiang at the brainwashing
center pronounced, "Send her to a hospital for a checkup. If there is no big
problem, take her back here." The hospital result showed her blood pressure was
150 and her heart was racing. She was then allowed to go home. 4. [Beijing] Many Practitioners at Beijing's Women's Prison
Nullify Forced "Renouncement of Belief" Li Li, Zhao Zhisheng, Yuan Lin, Xu Na and other practitioners
held in the Beijing Women's Prison have recently started to negate what they did
before that went against Dafa under the threats from the prison guards. Practitioner Ms. Zhao Zhisheng, 51 years old, was severely
injured after being beaten up and kicked. In addition, the guards stepped on her
neck, struck her, seized her by the neck and dug into her eye socket. She was
beaten unconscious, and prison guards doused her with water to wake her up. She
was forced to stand facing the wall for several days. Her wounds are still not
healed a year later. Once, she was tortured so severely that she started
hallucinating and started talking to the wall. Practitioner Ms. Xu Na witnessed the whole process of
practitioner Ms. Dong Cui being tortured to death within eight days. She stepped
forward to expose the crime. Currently, those practitioners who nullified the
"renouncement of their belief" are experiencing severe hardships. They hope they
can work together with practitioners outside, to negate the "renouncement of
their belief" and evil persecution. 5. [Heilongjiang Province] Jiamusi City's Forced Labor Camp
Guards Li Xiujin and Sun Hui Illegally Extend Detention Terms of Those Caught
Studying Master Li's Teachings Policewomen Li Xiujin and Sun Hui discovered that

others who are being held in Jiamusi City's Forced Labor Camp were studying
Master Li's teachings. They extended these practitioners' detention terms by one
month, disregarding Chinese laws. 6. [Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] Practitioner Wang Lige
Lives in Exile to Avoid Persecution At about 9:00 p.m. on July 21, 2004, more than ten
plainclothes special agents from Jinzhou City's National Security Bureau broke
into practitioner Ms. Wang Lige's home located in the Wenzhengyuan # 11-72,
Linghe District. Only her child was at home. They lied to the child, saying that
they were checking on the local residents. After they got in, they searched the
whole house. At around 9:30 p.m. Wang Lige came back home. She was pulled into
the home as soon as she opened the door. Wang Lige rebuked such criminal behavior, told them about
Falun Gong and kept sending forth righteous thoughts at the same time. At about
10:30 p.m. the police confiscated a computer (worth 4,000 Yuan), a printer
(worth 4,000 Yuan), a box of paper (worth 120 Yuan) and truth-clarifying
materials (1). They ordered Wang Lige to sign the list of confiscated items.
Wang refused and asked them for their search warrant. They took out a piece of
paper with some words on it, flashed it in front of Wang and then put it back.
Shortly after, some police personnel from the Zhengda Police Precinct came and
twenty policemen filled the building. At around 11:00 p.m., all the police went
downstairs. Some of them left, while some sat in the car monitoring Wang's
apartment. At around 3:00 a.m. the following day, Wang Lige escaped from her
home with the power of righteous thoughts. Right now she is living in exile. It was reported that practitioner Ms. Wang Jiao from the
Railway No. 1 Middle School was arrested on July 21. The detailed information is
unavailable currently. 7. [Handan City, Hebei Province] Dafa Practitioner Tang Hui Detained at Shahe

Township, Handan City, Hebei Province was called to the township's police
precinct by Liu Weijun and three other policemen. These three policemen sent Jia
Jincheng to a detention center. They attempted to extort 5,000 Yuan from Jia's
family. They threatened that they would not release Jia Jincheng unless the
family paid the fine. Jia's family had to borrow money from everywhere. Finally,
after they gave them 3,600 Yuan, Jia Jincheng was released. However, ten days later, Li Jianguo, an official of the township's political
and judiciary committee, took several people with him and went to Jia Jincheng's
