1. [Heilongjiang Province] Steadfast Falun Dafa Practitioners at the Tailai Prison Are Brutally Tortured

At the Tailai Prison in Heilongjiang Province, steadfast Falun Dafa practitioners have been brutally tortured. They were not only beaten, handcuffed, and shackled, but also were hung by their chest or stomach, with the legs, arms, head, and neck dangling downwards. This position is very painful and results in numbness of different body parts, including the legs, arms, and neck. Some who suffered this torture lost consciousness. It is a cruel and painful torture. Besides the torture, Dafa practitioners were forced to perform slave labor for 13 hours each day. If they failed to fulfill their quota they would be handcuffed and shackled.

Another Falun Dafa practitioner, Mr. Zhai Guangjun, was arrested and taken to the Jiamusi Detention Center on June 22.

3. [Lianjiangkou City, Heilongjiang Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Lu Yali Is Arrested and Her Home Ransacked

At about 10 o'clock on July 7, 2004, the Lianjiangkou Public Security Bureau ransacked Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Lu Yali's home without presenting legal documents. Then the police dragged Ms. Lu Yali into a police car and took her to the Jiangbei Police Station. Informed sources disclosed that there was a quota, assigned by the Jiangbei Police Station, for the recent arrest of Falun Gong practitioners. Ms. Lu Yali has now been taken to Jiamusi Detention Center.

4. [Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province] The Immoral Deeds of the Policemen at Jiamusi Detention Center

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Yufang was tortured at the Jiamusi Detention Center. As a result she suffered from stiffness and weakness of the hands, legs, and feet. Ms. Wang Yufang was to be taken to Harbin Prison, therefore the guards at the detention center ordered the inmates to make her exercise daily. Guard Li Yanpo also forced Falun Dafa practitioners to recite the prison rules and regulations and incited the criminals to beat up Ms. Lu Zhongfeng.

5. [Hubei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Are Arrested and Their Homes Ransacked

Since the Chinese New Year of 2004, and more frantically since the beginning of July, the head of the Machengshi City "610 Office," Luo Zisheng, deputy head of the City Public Security Bureau, Huang Shaokui, Li Jiede of the National Security Bureau, and the police from police stations Gulou, Nanhu, Longchi, Baiguo Township, Songbu Township, and other locations arrested practitioners residing in their respective areas and ransacked their homes.

Altogether about twenty households have been looted and more than ten Falun Dafa practitioners were arrested. Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zeng Jinhuan was sent to Wuhan City Braiwashing Center. Dafa practitioners Ms Wang Ying, Yu Xueneng, and Ms. Wang Aihua were forced to become homeless and wander from place to place to avoid being arrested.

6. [Beijing] Ms. Dong Xiuqin Unable to Walk Due to Torture

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Dong Xiuqin, 65, from Shijingshan District, Beijing was arrested on April 5, 2004 while she distributed truth-clarification materials. She is now detained at the Dongcheng District Detention Center at Qiliqu, Shahe, Beijing. Ms. Dong Xiuqin was very steadfast, and suffered a comminuted fracture [more than one fracture] to her legs, and is unable to walk. We hope those on the inside can provide further details of her condition.

7. [Tianjin Municipality] The Number of Female Falun Dafa Practitioners Sent to Labor Camps in the Tianjin Area Is Increasing

I am a Falun Dafa practitioner who has just been released from the Tianjin Women's Forced Labor Camp. All female forced labor camps are currently under the jurisdiction of the Dagang Area (formerly Banqiao Women's Labor Camp). About 100 Falun Dafa practitioners are detained there. This number also includes those who were detained at the Jianxin Women's Forced Labor Camp.

In November 2003 the Tianjin Women's Forced Labor Camp established an administrative division, which is actually called a roughneck team, specializing in persecuting steadfast Falun Gong practitioners. Since the establishment of this division, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Ruiqin and another female practitioner have always kept righteous thoughts and righteous actions, therefore no corporal punishment nor sweet words can move their hearts.

At present the number of female Falun practitioners who are sentenced to forced labor is on the increase. Most of them were arrested quietly and in secret, and then sentenced.

8. [Tianjin Municipality] Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Li Suyun Is Abducted on Her Way to Shanxi to Visit Her Mother

Ms. Li Suyun, Falun Dafa practitioner of Xitian Village, Huanghuadian Township in Wuqing District, Tianjin Municipality, went to Shanxi to visit her mother during the Chinese New Year of 2004. She was reported, and arrested as a result. She was sentenced to forced labor and is now held at the No. 4 Division of the Women's Forced Labor Camp at 56 Xuanwu Road, Wanxin Village, Dongguan Township in Xian City, Shaanxi Province.

9. [Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Zhao Mi Is Arrested

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhao Mi, 34, of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, is a teacher at Shuren University of Zhejiang. In 2001, the police arrested her and ransacked her home. After she walked out of detention with righteous thought she was placed on the wanted list. At the beginning of this year she was arrested again by the Hangzhou police. She is now detained at the Hangzhou Detention Center. Zhao Mi's husband, Wei Xiaolin, is currently studying in South Carolina in the United States. We hope that overseas practitioners help to find him and notify him about his wife's arrest.

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wen Fenglan is over 60-years old, and is from Shijiazhuang City. She lives in the dormitories of the Shijiazhuang Automobile Manufacturing Plant. At about 9 o'clock on July 19, 2004, policemen from the Qiaodongqu District Police Sub-bureau and the Shengli Beijie Police Station went to Ms. Wen's home in three cars. They arrested Ms. Wen and took her to the Shengli Beijie Police Station. The police also ransacked her house at the same time. One day later, Ms. Wen was transferred to the Hebei Provincial Brainwashing Center. During the detention the police extorted 3,000 Yuan (1) cash from her family and ordered her family to pay 450 Yuan for hiring a so-called education assistant. The police threatened to sentence Ms. Wen to forced labor if the money is not paid.

11. [Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] University Refuses to Issue a Graduation Certificate to Ms. Zhang Yanming Simply Because She Practices Falun Gong

The depraved people failed in their attempt to sentence student Zhang Yanming of the Bayi Land Reclamation and Cultivation University in Heilongjiang Province to forced labor, because of rescue efforts by practitioners worldwide. Some of these efforts included telephone calls and sending righteous thoughts. The university refused to issue a diploma to Ms. Zhang Yanming because she refused to renounce her belief. Instead she was granted a certificate certifying that she studied at the university.

12. [Bobai City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region] Five Falun Dafa Practitioners Arrested While Handing out Truth-Clarification Materials

On July 29 2004, five practitioners from Bobai in Guangxi, including Ms. Zhu Chunping, Su Jing, and Wang Xuxin, were arrested by police while handing out truth-clarification materials in Yingqiao Township.
