Ms. Cui Yaning is a Dafa practitioner from Jinzhou City. She has suffered brutal torture since she was detained at the Masanjia forced labor camp and has become too weak to walk. Currently she is on the verge of a mental collapse. She cried out continuously, "Mama, I want Mama. I want to go home."

She is the mother of Falun Gong practitioner Li Bo who is a resident of Toronto, Canada. Ms. Lu was sentenced to two years in the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp because she refused to renounce Falun Dafa. She had been released with the help of the international community. Around June 6, 2004, she was arrested again while at the Jinzhou City Fifth Middle School. The Party Secretary of the Fifth Middle School is responsible for the arrest.

4. [Chingqing City] Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Lei Lichun Arrested

During last week, Mr. Lei Lichun was arrested by police officers at the room he rented in Chongqing City. This became known when one fellow practitioner tried to visit him. A neighbor informed him that several police officers had come to his room and arrested him. The police told the neighbor that this was because Mr. Lei is a Falun Gong practitioner. Further investigation is needed.

It is imperative that we inform practitioners to be careful in the area of the Shiqiaopu Computer Market, Chongqing City. This area is under surveillance by many plain-clothes policemen. They are watching for, following, and arresting Dafa practitioners in that area. We noted several days ago, that two Dafa practitioners who shopped at the Computer Market, were followed by plain-clothes police. The storeowner, a fellow practitioner, noticed it and handed them a note with the words: "Someone is following you." With the help of the storeowner, they were able to escape safely.

5. [Shantou City, Guangdong Province] Medical Student Wu Xianjing from Shantou University Sent to Forced Labor Camp Again

He was detained at Sihui Jail, Guangdong Province. While serving time in jail, he was tortured. They did not allow him to sleep, and he was shocked with electric batons many times.

Mr. Wu was sentenced to another three years of forced labor and is detained at the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. He once went on a hunger strike for an extended period of time.

In the evening on February 19, 2004, an unnamed individual and police officer He Sheng from the Gaozhou Public Security Bureau arrested Wu at his home. Some of Wu's belongings were stolen.

Qu Hongcai, the Labor Camp head, forced detained Dafa practitioners and other inmates to work extra long hours to manufacture goods for export. According to reliable sources, they had to work past midnight daily, including Sundays. Almost everyone's hands were injured, having been rubbed raw while working with their hands continuously. Many could not meet the quota.

On May 13, 2004, He Zuoxiu, a political scoundrel and member of Jiang's regime, visited Gansu Province. He gave a speech during a meeting at Lanzhou University and Northwestern Normal University. This meeting was attended by thousands of students. He defamed Dafa and Dafa practitioners in his speech.

At the same time, Chen Xueheng, the deputy Communist Party Secretary of the Gansu Province, directed the Provincial political and judiciary committee and the Provincial General Management Office of the "610 Office" (1) to organize a new round of persecution against Dafa practitioners. From May 9 to 13, 2004, they went to the Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Jiayuguan City to plot the persecution. Scores of Dafa practitioners in these three cities have been arrested.

Dafa practitioner Ms. Xue Shuxian, and Ms. Wang Juxiang (60 years old) from the Hexipu Township, Yongchang County were reported to the Hexipu Police Station because they watched Dafa Video CDs which contained documentaries they explained the facts of the persecution. The practitioners were sent to the Yongchang County Detention Center on May 25, 2004 to receive brainwashing. They are still being held in custody.

He was sentenced to 2 years of forced labor. In the labor camp, he remained steadfast in his belief in Falun Dafa. His term was extended for almost ten months. He was released in early 2003 from the Jiutai Forced Labor camp. Since then, he told everyone about the persecution he suffered and the persecution of other Dafa practitioners he witnessed.
