Persecution Escalates in Guangdong Province
(Clearwisdom.net) At around 3:00 a.m. on September 13, practitioner Fan Haiqin was arrested by
about eight police officers in front of the building where she lived. The
persecutors proceeded to ransack her home and took a dozen pieces of Dafa
materials, a set of Dafa lectures, VCDs and a printer. Her husband tried for
several hours to reason with the police, but his words fell on deaf ears. Fan
Haiqin was sent to the No. 5 Tianhe Detention Center in Tianhetangxia, Guangzhou
City. It was learned that practitioners who had been arrested include Shi Lei, Chen
Huiling, Song Hongfeng, Fan Haiqin and Fan Wei. The perpetrators who arrested
the practitioners include local police officers and also persons of unknown
identity. We are not sure whether or not they are part of the 500 police
officers who came from out of town. The same day, practitioner Chen Xianzhang from the Haizhu District, Guangzhou
City was arrested by personnel from the 610 Office. (reference,

September 12, 2005. At 2:40 p.m. on September 12, the police tried to open the
door to Wei Yingxin's home with a key, but the door was also locked from inside.
The police demanded that Wei Yingxin's family open the door. His family refused
to cooperate with the persecutors. Then the police completely smashed the locks
on two stainless steel doors with an iron bar, about four feet long. These two
doors have been useless since. In mid September 2005, heads of the China Mobile Branch Office in Shenzhen
City, Guangdong Province held a meeting and ordered all employees to copy a
guarantee statement promising not to participate in Falun Gong activities and
to prevent their family members from practicing Falun Gong. If they did not copy
and turn in the guarantee statement, they would receive severe political and
financial punishment, including termination of their employment. Practitioner Lu Haiyun from the Fanyu District, Guangzhou City was arrested
around September 10. It was learned that she was sent to Guangdong Legal
Education Institute, a brainwashing center in Sanshui. (reference,

September 20 Special agents in Jieyang, Guangdong Province went to other cities to receive
training It was learned that the Jieyang 610 Office in Guangdong Province sent 15
special agents to other cities to receive training. After the agents returned
they posed as Falun Gong practitioners and tried to gain trust from local
practitioners by pretending to clarify the truth. They tried to obtain
information about materials production sites and the source of the truth
clarification materials in order to destroy the sites and disrupt Dafa
practitioners' efforts to save people. Practitioner Wu Zhiping: My aunt died from persecution. My 70-year-old mother
was illegally sentenced to seven years in prison. My wife was illegally
sentenced to ten years in prison, and I had to leave town [to avoid
persecution]. My aunt Wu Yuyun, my mother's sister, was a retired teacher from the No. 1
Middle School in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. She passed away in September
2004 as a result of the persecution. On May 28, 2001 I was illegally sent to the
No. 1 Forced Labor Camp in Guangzhou City where I was held for two years. I was
released on February 28, 2003. The CCP's persecution of Falun Dafa broke up my
family. Police arrested practitioner Feng Yuqiong from Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province
on December 16, 2004. The police ransacked her home and took her printer,
computer and Dafa truth clarification materials. In July 2005, the perpetrators
from Zhaoqing sentenced Feng Yuqiong to six years in prison. She is currently
being held at the Guangzhou Women's Prison. At 1:00 a.m. on September 30, the police broke into Li Shaozhen's home and
arrested her. Since July 20, 1999, the police had harassed and arrested Li
Shaozhen many times. Her husband Lai Zhenxian, also a Dafa practitioner, was
arrested in February 2003 and was sent to the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp where he
has been held up until now. Li Shaozhen has been supporting her family on her
own, including her elderly parents and children. Their life has been very
difficult. On September 29, six practitioners from Yunfu City, Guangdong Province were
arrested. On September 30, police arrested practitioner Chen Aiyu from Fanyu District,
Guangzhou City. On October 3, Dafa practitioner Shi Lei from Guangzhou City was savagely
beaten at a brainwashing class. Personnel from the 610 Office arrested practitioner Shi Lei from Guangzhou
City, Guandong Province, late at night on September 12, 2005. On September 13
they sent him to the so-called Legal Education Institute, a brainwashing center
in Guangzhou City, Chatou. On September 29, when his mother saw him at the
brainwashing center, Shi Lei told her, "They hit me and forbid me to tell my
family." Shi Lei's family saw that he was much thinner after only two weeks in the
brainwashing center. The perpetrators only allowed a few minutes for Shi Lei to
meet his family, fearing the details of the persecution would get out. The
officials at the brainwashing center repeatedly "advised" Shi Lei's family to
overlook the "unpleasant disagreements" between Shi Lei and the security
personnel. They told the family that the collaborators or security personnel
were "a little too harsh" because Shi Lei refused to cooperate during the study
sessions. When Shi Lei's wife saw him, he was sitting on a small stool by himself in an
empty room. There was a desk, a barrel and no bed in the room. His wife asked,
"He is not allowed to sleep?" The officials who followed his wife inside the
room didn't answer. A few minutes later someone said, "Yes, we do let him sleep.
We bring in a folding bed at night." Shi Lei asked to be taken to a hospital to
have his injuries examined. It is learned that the perpetrators at the brainwashing center used various
insidious methods in their treatment of determined practitioners, including
mental abuse, savage beatings, forced standing and squatting, tying up the
practitioner's arms and feet while the practitioner is forced to sit with both
legs crossed, solitary confinement, fixed shackles, long-term sleep deprivation,
force-feeding for practitioners who hold hunger strikes, long-term detention,
and adding poisonous drugs to practitioners' food. October 6 news: Practitioner Mr. Li Shuwei from Gaozhou City, Guangdong
Province arrested in Shenzhen City. Li Shuwei was hard working and responsible in his position at New Century
Vocational Training School in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province. He quit this
year and went to work at another school. In September 2005, Lin Xinjia, head of
New Century Vocational Training School led a group of police officers who
arrested Li Shuwei and ransacked his dorm room. October 8 news: Dafa practitioner Zhong Jiawen from Guangzhou City was
tortured. Practitioner Zhong Jiawen from Guangzhou City was arrested in June 2005.
Perpetrators were from the Huizhou City National Security Bureau in Guangdong
Province, where his work unit was located. During an illegal interrogation,
Zhong Jiawen refused to cooperate with the interrogators. The police beat and
kicked him and deprived him of sleep for four days and four nights. Zhong Jiawen
stayed firm and was sentenced to three years of forced labor. A few months after
the incident Zhong Jiawen still had severe injuries from the beatings, such as
pains in his spleen and dry mouth. October 12 news: Authorities at Guangzhou Women's Prison deprived Dafa
practitioner Ms. Feng Yuqiong's family members of their right to visit her. Practitioner Ms. Feng Yuqiong is about 41 years old. She was a technical
backbone at her place of employment, the Duanzhou Glass Factory in Zhaoqing
City, Guangdong Province. She started practicing Falun Gong in 1999. Ms. Feng
went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong after the persecution started and was
sent to the city detention center in 1999. She was tortured with a wooden
restraining device that weighed about 50 lbs. She was arrested again in 2000 and
held at the city detention center for several months, followed by a two-year
incarceration at the Sanshui Women's Forced Labor Camp. Earlier news: July 15, 2005: Huang Huahua, Governor of Guangdong Province Went to Shaoguan

Zhuoyuan. Rao Zhuoyuan died and left behind his wife Lin Qian, his mother in her
70s, who could not take care of herself, and a young daughter. Lin Qian took on
the role of the family's caregiver. Personnel from the 610 Office continued to harass and intimidate the family
and they constantly pressured Lin Qian. Since April 2005, Wen Chunlan, Yu Qiang
and Guo Guangting and Zhong from Haizhu District Brainwashing Center pressured
Lin Qian's employer, Guangdong Province Stomatological Hospital, to persecute
Lin Qian. They never stopped harassing Lin Qian, her family and her work unit. "How Practitioner Rao Zhuoyuan Was Tortured To Death" http://clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2005/3/6/58199.html

Guangzhou Police Carry Out Mass Arrests of Practitioners
(reference, http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2005/9/23/65227.html)
Persecutors from the Guangzhou City 610 Office and police department took
unified action on September 12 and September 13. They broke into many
practitioners' homes and arrested the practitioners. It was learned that
practitioners Shi Lei, Chen Xianzhang, Fan Haiqin, her brother and father, and
practitioner Chen Huiling have been arrested.
At around midnight on September 12, a dozen officers from the Meihua Street
Police Station in the Dongshan District, Guangzhou City broke into practitioner
Shi Lei's home and took him away, saying they wanted to "summon [Shi Lei] and
obtain some information." When Shi Lei's wife asked them to present the arrest
warrant, the police only flashed a slip of paper that read, "Using x cult to
disrupt implementation of the law." Shi Lei's wife asked the police to leave the
paper with her but they refused, fearing that it would be used later as evidence
of their crime. When Shi Lei was taken downstairs people heard Shi Lei shouting,
"Help! The police are abducting and beating me!" Some neighbors went out to see
what was going on. Shi Lei refused to cooperate with the perpetrators at the
police department. At noon on September 13, Shi Lei was sent to the Guangzhou
City Brainwashing Class in Chatou and was not allowed to meet with his family.
On the evening of September 12, personnel from the Haizhu District 610 Office
and from the police department broke into the home of practitioners Chen Huiling,
Fan Wei and Chen Xianzhang (in his 70s) and arrested them. The police had been
monitoring and following Chen Huiling for a long time prior to abducting her.
Three practitioners, Luo Ji, Chen Yuping and Chen Xiaoxia were arrested by
perpetrators between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on September 15, 2005 and their
homes were ransacked. (Reference,
http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2005/9/28/65371.html)
Early on the morning of September 30, practitioner Li Shaozhen from Yunfu,
Guangdong Province was arrested.
On Thursday September 29, 2005, perpetrators from Yunfu City, Guangdong Province
conducted frenzied arrests of Dafa practitioners. It is learned that six
practitioners have been arrested. They are Yang Hailian, Li Shaozhen, Ruan
Guihuan, Ou Zhini, Lai Jiawen and Chen Shuishi.
Practitioner Mr. Li Shuwei, 36, lived in Poxin Village, Shizilingguan District,
Gaozhou City, Guangdong Province and has practiced Falun Dafa for a few years.
Li Shuwei is now being held at the Baoan District Detention Center at the Baoan
Police Department in Shenzhen City. The cell phone number of the person in
charge of his case is 86-13689589100.
On December 16, 2004, local police officers from Duanzhou followed her and
arrested her at work. They ransacked her home and took her computer, printer and
truth-clarification materials, among other things. The police sent her to a
detention center where she held a hunger strike to protest the persecution. The
police forbid her family to meet with her and did not tell her family about her
situation. In June 2005 Feng Yuqiong was skin and bones. She could not talk or
walk, and the police let her family meet with her two or three times. In mid
July 2005, the police suddenly notified her family that Feng Yuqiong had been
sentenced to six years in prison and she was sent to Guangzhou Prison. The
authorities told her family, "No visits within the first three months. Wait for
our notice after three months."
The Shaoguan 610 Office agents in Guangdong Province and their subordinates have
escalated their persecution of Dafa practitioners. Around July 15, governor
Huang Huahua went to Shaoguan and said Shaoguan was an important area in
persecuting Falun Gong. Right now, Shaoguan police are arbitrarily arresting
Dafa practitioners.
On June 21, 2005, the Minghui website reported the persecution of Dafa
practitioners by Wen Chunlan, a perpetrator from the Haizhu District 610 Office
in Guangzhou City, and gave Wen Chunlan a solemn warning. However, Wen Chunlan
only escalated her persecution of Dafa practitioners.
