List of the Persecutors who follow Jiang Zemin in persecuting Dafa practitioners:

- Lequn County Party Secretary Zhang Guorong

- Vice Party Secretary Wang Guolan

Two steadfast Dafa practitioners, Ma Xinying and Zhang Yafen, were detained in Shuangcheng Detention Centre for appealing in Beijing. After their release, they were further detained in a retirement home for 2 months for fear that they might appeal again. They were subjected to insults by thugs with filthy and crude language. Wang Guolan slapped both of them on the face numerous times, due to their not giving up Falun Dafa, and extorted 4,000 Yuan from Zhang's family before letting her go.

Criminals Zhang Guorong and Wang Guolan exhausted all their wits in persecuting Dafa practitioners. Zhao Yayun firmly believed in Dafa, so Zhang Guorong charged her with "practicing Falun Gong at home" and sent her to a forced labour camp. Zhang is responsible for her death, as the brutal persecution in the labour camp took her life.

Yaojin Township

On December 20, 2000, He Guiping was captured in Changchun on the way to Beijing to appeal.

On January 17, 2001, Ma Chengbao and 3 others were detained in a dark little room in the village by Yaojin County policeman Ma Dali, County Party Secretary Zhang Junbao, and Village Chief Liu Changlong supposedly to "talk" to them. This action left a 7 years old child at home alone.

Wang Yuling went to Beijing to appeal on December 16, 2000, and was tortured by Beijing Fangshan Branch Police on the "Tiger Bench" for 24 hours. (For a detailed description of this and other forms of torture used in forced labor camps, see http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2001/11/24/16156.html) She was then detained at Shuangcheng City Detention Centre for 23 days.

Bai Shuhua was captured on December 23, 2000 while validating Dafa on Tiananmen Square, and was illegally detained for 15 days in Shuangcheng City Detention Center. The County authorities extorted 1,700 Yuan in the name of trip and various other "expenses."

Xu Dezhen went to the "National Letters and Appeals Office" in Beijing to appeal last year, and was sent straight to detention by the Provincial Office in Beijing. Xu was later transferred to Shuangcheng City Detention Centre and locked up for over 20 days, where she underwent all sorts of trauma and torments. On December 10, 2000, Xu's husband Yan Wenbao went to Beijing to validate Dafa, and was captured near Tiananmen. Police extracted his name and address from him, and he was sent to Shuangcheng Detention Centre. Physical and verbal abuse were his daily ordeal during his 29 days detention at the centre. After being released, the couple had to endure constant harassment at their own home from county and village officials and policemen. They've been extorted 3,800 Yuan in total already, and the village authorities wrote down a 1,000 Yuan debt in their record.

Xu Chunlin and Guo Longquan had no money to pay for the "trip expenses" (this is the money for being taken back home by the police), so the Village Party Branch Secretary sold their land and property in March 2000, taking away their livelihood. (Xu's land was sold for 3 years) Xu's family of four is now homeless, and without any source of income.

Xu Qiulin was caught distributing Dafa material in the spring of 2000, and sent for detention in Changlinzi Labour Camp, Harbin City until now, leaving a spouse at home in hardship and loneliness.

The stories of Xu Shurong and her sisters:

The Elder sister

After being detained 22 days in Shuangcheng Detention Centre for appealing in Beijing, she was locked up in a local retirement home, and had 5,000 Yuan "trip expenses" extorted from her. (The family did not have enough money, so her husband was thrown into the County's local office by the thugs and detained for 2 days. They had to mortgage their home in exchange for his release.) On December 23, 2000, she was taken into the retirement home again for over 2 months. Due to her refusal to write a "guarantee" letter, she was locked up in the Shuangcheng Party School for brainwashing. (only being released when her family member gave their signature.)

Second elder sister

On December 23, 2000 she was taken to the local retirement home, and detained for over 2 months. (Her family had to pay 500 Yuan bail for her release.)

Third elder sister

She was detained for 15 days for appealing in Beijing. Local government extorted 3,000 Yuan "trip expenses" (for police to take her back from Beijing) from her. During the Chinese New Year Period in 2001, she was locked up by the Village Committee for 18 days, and only released when her family paid 1,000 Yuan bail.

Fourth elder sister

She was detained for over 40 days for her first time appeal in Beijing. Though released through her hunger strike effort, she was locked up in a retirement home for over 20 days afterwards. She was detained for more than 2 weeks for her second time appeal in Beijing, and sent to forced labour camp for one year (currently in Wanjia Labour Camp, Harbin City). As she refuses to write a "repentance" letter, her family is not allowed to visit.

Xu Shurong went to Beijing to appeal in June 2000, together with her 4 year old child. Afterwards she was locked up in a cold and damp room in the local retirement home and only released because of her hunger strike.

Shuiquan Township Criminal Records:

• County leader Zhang Bo, and
• Guan X (whose responsibility is persecuting Falun Gong)

On December 22, 2000 (lunar calendar), these two criminals shuffled many Dafa practitioners into police vehicles to take them to be brainwashed in the local retirement home. After being locked up for over 2 months, each person was forced to pay 600 Yuan just for meals, and another 1,000 Yuan "trip expenses" for having gone to Beijing. The Local government wanted 1,000 Yuan bail each, and forced each practitioner's family to bring the title paper ("deed") for their house and land as a "guarantee." Not only couldn't they study Dafa and do the exercises, but even the practitioners' personal freedoms were lost during the brainwashing class. They were also being abused and insulted by the guards at will.
