1. [China] Take Note: Ill Motives behind the Nationwide Census on Rental Properties

Chinese police will be conducting a nationwide census on rented apartments and the transient population from July 3 to July 15, reportedly to check for released criminals. According to credible sources, this action is in fact a plan to carry out mass arrests of the thousands of Falun Gong practitioners who have been left homeless as a result of the crackdown.

Fellow practitioners in various parts of the country, please pay attention to your safety, "eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts" (quoted from Teacher's article Dafa is Indestructible), and avoid any losses caused by your oversight.

2. [Beijing] Jiang Zemin Criminal Gang Holds Statewide Brainwashing Classes with the Wishful Thinking of Reforming All Falun Dafa Practitioners by October

According to sources in Beijing, those working for the brainwashing classes have revealed that recent classes have been well planned and organized. Each session takes about ten days. Practitioners who are still practicing Falun Gong are targeted first, and then those who have promised to quit practicing will also be forced to attend. The wishful thinking of the organizer is to reform all the practitioners by October 2001.

Fellow practitioners please stay alert, maintain sufficient awareness of the evil persecution, resolutely resist and eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts, so as to defeat this wicked scheme arranged by the old forces.

3. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] A Wicked Person Stopped in His Tracks When a Falun Dafa Practitioner Uses Her Divine Powers and a Kind-hearted Taxi Driver Brings the Practitioner to Safety

An elderly man caught a female Falun Dafa practitioner when she was posting truth-clarifying materials in Changchun city, Jilin province. The elderly man said, "How dare you still post these materials? I will escort you to the police station now." He ignored all the kind words as the practitioner was trying to tell him about Falun Dafa. Instead, he said, "My son works right in the police station! And I only believe in the [name omitted] Party, and I don't believe in Falun Gong." The practitioner tried to walk away, but the elderly man held her tightly. And then she remembered the Teacher's article What Are Supernormal Abilities, and wondered why she didn't use the supernormal abilities to thwart the wicked person. So she said to him, "Freeze." The elderly man stood right on the spot and was motionless. And the practitioner was able to walk away from him immediately. After taking only a few steps, she saw a taxi driving by. The practitioner said to the taxi driver, "I am a Falun Gong practitioner, and someone is chasing me. Do you dare to drive me away?" The driver replied while opening the door for her, "Get in the car! I will protect you with my own life!"

Here we have seen the mighty power of Falun Dafa. Let us send our best wishes to this taxi driver. At the same time, we also warn those wicked people to stop assisting the tyranny in the persecution, otherwise the retribution is just right ahead.

4. [Beijing] Please Pay Attention to the Kidnapped Falun Dafa Practitioner Zhang Xiaojie in Beijing

According to credible sources, Gao Yaping, an accomplice with public security officers helped kidnap Zhang Xiaojie, a female Falun Dafa practitioner, and her young daughter. Gao has received praise in public from the police, and has been appointed together with her husband Xue Xiaoping to be "security officers" with specific responsibilities of monitoring Falun Gong practitioners in the neighborhood. Security officers are required to file immediate report if there is any Falun Gong activity.

After being kidnapped with her young daughter, Zhang Xiaojie was forced to attend two sessions of brainwashing classes in isolation totaling 30 days. Zhang has adhered to her belief and never caved in to pressure.

Zhang Xiaojie has been transferred to Dongcheng Detention Center, and her relatives have picked up her young daughter.

5. [Lanzhou, Gansu Province] Practitioners of Gansu Province Remain Faithful and Unyielding

The evil forces brought female Practitioner Ma Jun of Lanzhou city to a court, attempting to sentence her to jail. During the court hearing, Ma Jun argued vigorously on justifiable grounds. The other party's accusations were completely demolished.

A trustworthy source said practitioner Ma Jun was illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor on May 31. (In China, the police can send anyone to labor camp without trial). Before this, she had already been illegally detained in Dashaping Detention Center for a year and a half.

Practitioner Qian Shiguang was a Senior Engineer at the China Northwest Geologic Research Institute. He has used his life to protect Falun Dafa many times. Last June, he was illegally sentenced to a year and a half of forced labor. In Ping'antai Forced Labor Camp of Lanzhou City, he kept on studying the Fa and practicing the exercises. He was beaten severely. To protest, he went on a hunger strike for 18 days and his life was in danger. The labor camp authorities were afraid of taking responsibility so he was returned to his family. Instead of dying at home (as expected by the evil forces), Qian Shiguang recovered quickly. He soon began to go everywhere to tell people the truth and do other Dafa related work. Not long ago, Qian was again sentenced to a year and a half of forced labor at Ping'antai Labor Camp. An insider said Qian was hung up high and brutally beaten; immediately after that he was escorted to the labor camp. The details of the tortures are still unknown.

Female practitioner Fang Jianping and Zhao Yuying from Lanzhou City were arrested while posting Dafa banners on the night of April 30. They were detained in Dashaping Detention Center for over two months. On July 2, they were sentenced to two years of forced labor and later sent to Ping'antai Labor Camp.

6. [Zhangzhou, Fujian Province] Evil Forces of Zhangzhou City Illegally Sentence Falun Dafa Practitioners to Prison

The former Assistant of Falun Gong Assisting Center of Zhangzhou City Fujian Province, (female practitioner) Chen Meifeng, was sentenced to 7 years imprisonment; the reason given was that she had practiced Falun Gong with several practitioners in Jiulong Park of Zhangzhou City in July and August 2000.

The former associate contact person of the Falun Gong Assistance Center Hu Chunping was sentenced to forced labor this May. The reason given is that she visited two friends who are practitioners in Fuzhou City for a few minutes.

7. [Xinjiang] Falun Dafa Practitioners Keep Their Faith while in Prison

Practitioner Chen Zhongquan from Xinjiang was illegally charged to a year and a half of forced labor; he requested release but the prison guard responded with a brutal beating. He has served the term but is still detained in Changji Forced Labor Camp as of now.

Practitioner Zhao Aijun was previously a policeman of the Public Security Bureau of Shihezi City Xinjiang Autonomous District. He was illegally charged to forced labor at Changji Labor Camp. To protest the illegal detention and persecution against the practitioners, he started a hunger strike. During the hunger strike, the evil forces of the Labor Camp were scared and once negotiated with him that if he gave up the hunger strike, they would allow him to study the Fa and practice exercises in a separate cell. He said he was not doing this for himself. He kept on with the hunger strike. His current condition is unknown.

8. [Guangdong Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Li Qiong Refuses to Renounce Dafa; Her Brainwashing Is Inexcusably Extended from Two Years to an "Indefinite" Time

Li Qiong, a Guangdong female Dafa practitioner was illegally detained in the Chatou Labor Camp. To get her to renounce Dafa, the labor camp officials threatened her and her family members. If she still refused to renounce her beliefs, her sentence of two years of brainwashing through forced labor would be changed to an indefinite term.

The police in Guangdong have started a new round of arresting Dafa practitioners. As a result, many practitioners have had no choice but to leave home.

9. [Qingzhou City, Shandong Province] Police send Falun Dafa Practitioner Xu Hongliang to be Brainwashed through Forced Labor

On June 19, 2001, the vicious police arrested Dafa practitioner Xu Hongliang from Qianxu village, Koubu County of Qingzhou City and sent her to be brainwashed through forced labor at a camp in Changle of Weifang City.

In addition, the eight Shuangqiaozi area Dafa practitioners arrested on June 26 (except one who succeeded in escaping after sending forth righteous thoughts) were all illegally detained in Longquan of Chengdu City.

11. [Weihai City, Shandong Province] The Criminal Activity of the Public Security Officers

The Political Security Section officials of the Huancui District Public Security Bureau in Weihai City, Liu Jie and others are active pioneers in persecuting Dafa practitioners. In July 1999, they illegally sentenced about 40 Dafa practitioners to brainwashing through forced labor. Some Dafa practitioners should have been sent home to rest because they failed the physical examination. Instead they were illegally detained. The criminals even threatened to send all determined Dafa practitioners to labor camps. In April of this year, they sentenced 4 female Dafa practitioners to 4 years of brainwashing through forced labor. The labor camp refused to take these practitioners because they failed the physical examination. They tried every means to make the labor camp take in these four practitioners. Having failed, the vicious police Liu Jinhu, Wang Zhaochen and Gong Jian brutally beat them instead. Recently, they held brainwashing classes and sent the unbending Dafa practitioners, Yin Liying and others, to labor camp for further persecution. Without notifying their family members and without any legal procedure, they kidnapped some Dafa practitioners including Wang Yuejuan, and sent them to Zhoucun Labor Camp.

Good will be rewarded with good and evil with evil. This is the course of nature! A person must pay for all of the bad things he has done in the world.

13. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] The Crimes of Ying Shuqin of the Liaozhong Agriculture Electric Bureau

Ying Shuqin, the Party Secretary of Liaozhong Agriculture Electric Bureau in Shenyang city, Liaoning province has used despicable means in her participation of the criminal persecution campaign against Falun Gong.

Ying Shuqin and her accomplices persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners in her work unit by forcing practitioners to leave their shifts, dismissing them from work, and sending them to labor camps, etc. After the practitioners were transferred, dismissed from work, or forced to resign, Ying Shuqin brought her two nieces in to take positions formerly held by practitioners.

During the signature drive that slandered Falun Gong, she coerced the female employees in her work unit into signing their names against their own consciences by threatening to deduct their salary bonuses. She also tried to entice them with shirts valued at several dozen Yuan RMB. With this campaign, she has dragged several hundred employees down with her into a deep abyss.

Ying Shuqin has already received retribution once in the past. Once, while she was walking, she fell down all of a sudden, resulting in a big gash on her face. And now, her arms have started to ache; this retribution is specifically for organizing the signature campaign.

14. [Qingzhou City, Shandong Province] Criminals in Qingzhou City

Gao Shuzhen, the director of the 610 office [an office created by the government to deal specifically with issues related to Falun Gong] in Qingzhou city, Shandong province, actively served as an accomplice of the schemers of the persecution. During the last six months, Gao illegally arrested and kidnapped Falun Dafa practitioners from many locations to forced them to attend brainwashing classes. He has also deceived several brainwashed practitioners into betraying Dafa by going about everywhere to spread lies. Gao's crimes are countless.

Gao Shuzhen's cell phone: 13963680806

In addition, near the end of the previous year, after Wu Bin and Guo Wenjie became traitors in Weifang city, they actively cooperated with the malevolent forces in Qingzhou city to deceive and delude Falun Dafa practitioners. They were also given the authority to decide whether Falun Dafa practitioners in the brainwashing classes could be released or not. In his zealotry, Wu Bin even rode by bicycle to search for and arrest Falun Dafa practitioners. His foul deeds have caused a very bad impact in the local area.

15. [Weifang City, Shandong Province] Case Showing that Bad Deeds Provoke Retribution

Zhang Xixin, a villager in Zhangjiaguan village, Cheliu town, Fangzi district, Weifang city, Shandong province, often tore down flyers that clarified the truth about Falun Dafa. In late June, while making a phone call from her home, his wife suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage and died. This is actually a case in which one person has brought disaster to a family member through generating such a large amount of karma.
