[Yingkou City, Liaoning Province] Belated News: Practitioner Wang Baojin Illegally Sentenced to 10-year Prison Term

In September 2001, Mr. Wang Baojin and Yang Zhifang, two Yingkou practitioners, went shopping for equipment at the Sanxing Offset Printing Machine Manufacturer in Yingkou City. Someone who was there reported them to the police. Four policemen from the Political and Security Section of the Public Security Bureau abducted Wang Baojin and sent him to the local detention center. During the illegal interrogation, Wang Baojin kept silent. The police instructed criminals from the prison to beat him up. A medical examination, performed after the beating, found that his spleen was dislocated. Then, without any statement of interrogation, Mr. Wang was illegally sentenced to ten years in prison. He is currently being illegally detained at the Wafangdian Prison.

[Anshan City, Liaoning Province] Practitioner Zhang Guanghong Illegally Sentenced

Mr. Zhang Guanghong, a practitioner from Anshan City, had been illegally detained at forced labor camps many times simply because he would not give up the practice of Falun Dafa. He has currently been sentenced to four years in prison and is being detained at the Anshan No. 2 Detention Center. He was fired from his job. His wife, Qiu Sihua, also a Falun Dafa practitioner, was told by her boss that if she did not write a statement promising never to practice Falun Dafa again or associate with other practitioners, she would be dismissed. Her sister Qiu Sihui is currently being detained at the Anshan No.1 Detention Center. Qiu Sihui cannot take care of herself due to the effects of the horrible torture she has endured. Every time she needs to go to the washroom, four people have to carry her. The Anshan Politics and Law Committee have said, "We will release all but Qiu Sihui."

[Wafangdian City, Liaoning Province] Thirty Falun Dafa Practitioners on Hunger Strike at the Wafangdian Prison

Recently, thirty practitioners went on a hunger strike at the Wafangdian Prison, to protest their illegal detention. Two of them were extremely weak and their lives are in great danger. These practitioners are:

Gao Hui, (assumed name: Li Jun), from Dengta City in Liaoning Province. The police tortured him for several days. Consequently, his internal organs including his gallbladder are damaged. His life is in great danger.

Liu Enhua, (assumed name: Liu Yantao), from Shenyang City of Liaoning Province resisted the illegal detention by refusing to recite the regulations of the prison and by going on the hunger strike. Consequently, he was tortured very brutally and has become so weak that he cannot straighten his back.

[Tonghua City, Hebei Province] One Brainwashing Class Costs Over Ten Thousand Yuan Earned by Toil

On February 23, 2001, the "610 Office" in Tonghua City held a brainwashing class at the Party College [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]. Fifty-two Falun Dafa practitioners were illegally taken away from their homes or jobs and forced to endure this event. At a recent conference, Meng X from the "610 Office" of that city, who is currently working on the Politics and Law Committee, said, "Over ten thousand yuan were spent on this brainwashing class."

At a group discussion, a person who was designated by a working unit to watch over Falun Gong practitioners said that each person (practitioner) would be charged 25 yuan per day for food and accommodations [500 yuan is equal to the average monthly salary of an urban worker in China]. No salary would be paid to the detainees during the duration of the class. The blankets used were provided by the class (actually by the Party College). It is an infringement of basic human rights to use the taxpayers' money for persecuting good people who only want to follow the principles of "Truth, Compassion, Tolerance." Falun Gong practitioners are forced to write a statement of regret (expressing remorse for "going against the government"), a statement of denouncement (wherein they renounce and defame Falun Gong) and a statement of break-up (promising never to associate with practitioners again). Those who don't write the statements are illegally sentenced to forced labor. Such actions directly violate their basic human rights.

[Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Illegally Detained

On December 11, 2003, practitioners Zhu Yangchun, Jiang Lili, and two elderly practitioners, Ms. Wu and Ms. Hu, were illegally arrested while distributing truth-clarifying materials near Tieqiao Village of Hanyang.

They were sent to the police substation at Yongfeng Township. Jiang Lili was transferred to the No.1 Female Detention Center at Wujiashan in Wuhan City. Zhu Yangchun and another practitioner who was over 60 years old were sent to the Yangyuan Brainwashing Center.

[Tonghua City, Hebei Province] The Truth of the So-Called Education at Tonghua Forced Labor Camp

Hu Zhongshi (retired), former political instructor of Tonghua Forced Labor Camp, and Sun Jianfu (retired), former head of the Educational Team, talked about the so-called educational sessions they taught at the brainwashing classes. They admitted that they had previously told lies about what went on there. They admitted that practitioner Cao Zhonghua was illegally detained there simply because this person would not sign a paper in which they promised not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. They further stated that during detention, Sun Jianfu violently elbowed the practitioner in the abdomen. He also instructed three criminals to step on practitioner Cao Zhonghua's head, waist and legs. Consequently, Cao Zhonghua could not walk normally. Cao Zhonghua's family members went to visit their family member twice and were turned away by the authorities. After being released, Cao Zhonghua suffered so much pain in the abdominal area that it was impossible to work.

[Tonghua City, Hebei Province] Tonghua New Railway Station Office Illegally Searches Practitioners' Homes and Extorts Money

The Tonghua New Railway Station office illegally extorts 2,000 yuan from each Falun Gong practitioner who goes to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. In addition, they tried a new scam: asking for 2,000 yuan from the workplaces of practitioners who have been laid off because production has been temporarily suspended. Practitioners' work places refused to pay the amount. They then went to practitioners' homes to ask for the 2,000 Yuan. Practitioners' family members asked them, "There is no regulation that says we are required to pay this guarantee fee you are asking for. Aren't you collecting money for no reason?" They could not answer.

Cui Jing, Director of the Railway Station Office (who is currently working in Dongchang District), went to search practitioners' home without showing any legal documents to support the search. Xiao Yuxian, Accountant of the office, searched several practitioners' homes from top to bottom, going through their bookshelves, drawers and personal items.

[Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] The So-Called Reflection Room at Masanjia Forced Labor Camp

There is a room labeled the Reflection Room on the fourth floor of the No. 2 Female Branch at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. People from outside the camp were told that it was a Reflection Room, but actually it is used for detaining Falun Dafa practitioners who remain steadfast in their cultivation practice. Practitioners are kept in there to make them change their minds about practicing. The inner walls and doors are covered with a thick spongy material. People who are detained in this room feel suffocated and out of breath.

[Fushun City, Liaoning Province] "I Did Not Say That You Are Guilty"

I was escorted back to the Dashagou Detention Center in Qingyuan County, Liaoning Province, where many practitioners are being illegally detained. During detention, we went on a hunger strike to protest our detention. The detention center is for people who commit crimes, and, as Falun Dafa practitioners, we are doing our best to be good people. However, we were detained for saying, "Falun Dafa is good!" Later on, Director Yin of the center was afraid that we might die, so he asked us to sign something. I had a look at what was on the paper. It said, "The detention center is not responsible if any harm occurs to me due to the hunger strike." I told him right away, "I won't sign." The director asked me why not. I said, "We are not guilty of any crimes and we are trying to be good people." The director said, "I did not say that you are guilty." I replied, "Since we are not guilty, why do you keep us here." The director could not answer any more.

[Fushun City, Liaoning Province] A Female Practitioner Is Tortured for Going to Appeal Legally

In 2001, a practitioner from Qingyuan County was arrested for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. She was illegally detained in a small detention house at the edge of Beijing. During her detention, she was not allowed to sleep or go to washroom for three days because she refused to provide her name and her family's location. Later, a local policewoman named Xu Jinrong recognized her and escorted her back to the Dongyuan Police Substation.

Police from the Dongyuan Police Substation tortured the practitioner with all possible torture instruments. They made her sit on the "Tiger Bench." They did not allow her to sleep. Policeman Wang Lifeng covered her eyes with a towel and then poured alcohol into her mouth. He did not stop until she was out of breath. Then they sent her to the Dashagou Detention Center. During detention there, the practitioner went on a hunger strike, protesting the persecution. A female police guard named Wang Xuejing beat the practitioner's mouth and head with iron keys until she bled. She also slapped the practitioner on the face twenty times and knocked her head against the wall. She instructed others to force-feed the practitioner with food and salty water by inserting a rubber tube into her nose. The practitioner was not released until her life was in danger.

[Lanzhou City, Gansu Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Are Mass Arrested on a Large Scale

On December 7, 2003 (Sunday), several practitioners were illegally arrested. Practitioner He Wenzhuo from Xigu was reported by a man and a woman. This practitioner has not been seen since. A practitioner called "Grandma Yang" (her last name is Zhou) from Qilihe (she is the mother of Yang Xuegui who was illegally sentenced to prison) was abducted by two strangers at a barbershop near her home. They seized her arms, dragged her out of the barbershop and pushed her into a black car. At the scene was one uniformed police officer, while the rest were in plainclothes. There was also a woman taking photos.

In the afternoon, a married couple, Wei and He were illegally arrested in their rented home located in Yezhuwan, Qilihe District (the dormitory of the Electricity Bureau). All their property was confiscated.

All practitioners attending an experience sharing at Bai Jinyu's home in Xigu were illegally arrested. It is said that there were eleven practitioners all together, including An Jiheng from Lanzhou Petrochemical Machinery and Zhang Taibin who had just come back from the Gongjiawan Brainwashing Center. It was learned that practitioners from the Chengguan District were arrested as well.

On the same day, practitioners in Jinchang were illegally arrested. Three days later, another practitioner said that a practitioner whose last name is Yang from Xiuchuan of Qilihe was also abducted.

[Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] A Dafa Truth-Clarifying Material Site is Sabotaged

They also arrested Wang Shuqing, Sun Guohui's mother and another practitioner. The four practitioners were detained at the Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau (the municipal Confidential Bureau). Yang Liyun escaped the evil police officers' control with righteous thoughts. There were two all-in-one (copying, printing, faxing) printers, one CD burner, and many truth-clarifying VCDs and other materials at the house.

They frequently harass practitioners' families. As long as practitioners say, "Yes. (We practice Falun Gong)", they would be illegally detained.
