[Changchun City, Jilin Province] Police Offices Affiliated with the Changchun City Police Department Decline "Award," Realizing it will Become Criminal Evidence Once Falun Gong is Exonerated

Last April, in order to encourage the leaders of affiliated police offices, the Changchun City Police Department planned to award the leaders in order to incite them to further persecute Falun Dafa. They granted each police office an "Outstanding Contribution Award" and one to three "Commendation Awards." In the meeting, however, seven police office directors declined the awards. One of them said, "Falun Gong is a political issue. It will be exonerated sooner or later. If I receive the certificate of the award, it will become evidence of persecuting Falun Gong." Another vice director said, "The government was wrong at the beginning. Now it continues on making more mistakes. So many people have died. Many people are detained. Someone needs to be responsible for this. Falun Gong will definitely be exonerated. Therefore, I will not accept the award." Nowadays, in fear of retribution, many low level government officials dare not persecute practitioners at will.

[Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] 67 Year-Old Widow Han Wenying is Forced to Leave her Home for Practicing Falun Dafa

Since July 22, 1999, the Shijiazhuang City Yucai Street Police Office has closely followed "Human Rights Scoundrel" Jiang Zemin to persecute Dafa practitioners. Dozens of local practitioners had to suffer hardships as a consequence. On August 10, 2001, vicious policeman Tan Jun led 7 policemen to sneak into Han Wenying's home when the door was not locked. They forcibly kidnapped and put her into a police car, and stole her Dafa books and truth-clarifying materials. This was the third time they ransacked her home. They forcefully searched her physically and attempted to send her into a labor camp. As her blood pressure was too high, the labor camp dared not accept her. After she returned home, the vicious officials in the police office asked her to report to them the next day. So during the night, Han Wenying left her home, and her whereabouts are unclear. A senior widow, whose husband was a martyr, is persecuted only because she practices Falun Gong and believes in "Truth, Compassion and Tolerance."

Heaven has warned those vicious police who brutally persecute Dafa practitioners. Since early summer, there has been no water supply to the police office. If they still cannot awaken, Heavenly principles will definitely punish them.

[Qingzhou City, Shandong Province] Police Secretly Kidnap a 19 Year-Old Female Practitioner and Illegally Put her into a Labor Camp

Since October 2000, Gong Haiyan, a resident in Huanglou County, Qingzhou City, was forced to live in exile. During this time, she was detained twice; however, she was able to escape. On July 31, 2001, she was detained again when she was at a practitioner's home in Tanfang Town, Qingzhou City. Afterwards, it was learned that she was secretly sent to a labor camp.

Recently, the vicious forces in Qingzhou City arrested many practitioners and forced them to attend brainwashing classes. It was said that the police were stationed in railway and bus stations. They arbitrarily took the practitioners to the police office and interrogated them. The entire Qingzhou City is under this reign of terror.

In Jinzhou District, Dalian Province, Zhanqian Police Brutally Arrest a Female Practitioner

At about 10am on August 19, 2001, the lawless policemen from Jinzhou District Zhanqian Police Office came to arrest a female Dafa practitioner who lives on the second floor of No.2 Unit in No.36 Building, Nanmian Road. She did not cooperate with the vicious forces. Therefore, she jumped off the balcony and tried to climb the fence on the first floor. Around 10:30am, the Jinzhou District Zhanqian Police Office sent in 2 vans, 3 cars and a fire engine. They videotaped the arrest scene on the spot. While struggling with the police, the practitioner fell down from the fence. Her face and one side of her leg were lacerated. Her clothes were torn apart. Four policemen twisted her feet and hands and pressed her head against the ground. Then they stuck her under the seat of the van. A vicious policeman trampled on the practitioner's feet with his leather boots. To prevent her from running away, another policeman restrained her hands. When the van was driven away from the crowd, four policemen beat up the practitioner in the van. Now the practitioner's situation is unclear. We hope all kind-hearted people can step forward to stop the lawless police from persecuting Dafa practitioners. Do not let such tragedy happen again.

[Longkou City, Shandong Province] The Police Illegally Arrest and Detain Dafa Practitioners

Yu Zhilan, female, about 50 years old, is a peasant of Qijia Island in Longkou City. On June 28, 2001, the local police suddenly came to search her home, without providing her family with a reason and a search warrant. As they found some transcripts of Master's articles, several policemen forcibly pulled her to the police car. She was put into detention later. Her daughter Hu Hairong had been interrogated many times by the policemen. Finally, Hu Hairong had to leave home and wander about. Now her whereabouts are unknown.

[Jingtai County, Gansu Province] The Police Arrest Dafa Practitioners Wantonly

Since June and July 2001, lots of Dafa truth-clarifying materials appeared and the tape recording of the Dafa Radio Station was broadcast in Wufo City and Luyang City in Jingtai County. The local vicious forces dispatched 5 policemen from Baiyin City Police Department to set up a "special case group" with the local policemen.

On the night of July 19, these vicious policemen forced their way into one practitioner's home, took away 8 practitioners who were practicing the exercises there and detained them in the county detention center. Practitioners refused to cooperate with any of the police's vicious requirements. They immediately went on a hunger strike to protest their illegal arrest and detention, and requested their unconditional release. As of July 29, these practitioners had been on the hunger strike for 10 days. We don't know whether they are still alive or not. The vicious policeman Zhang Guohua is the local leader in persecuting Falun Gong. He committed countless crimes. Now he has arrested and sent more than 20 practitioners into the detention centers and labor camps. In this crazy round of arrests, he once again brutally beat up practitioners.

When she was released this March, the police did not return the bankbook to her. Later, her family members went to ask for the bankbook twice but were refused.

They illegally ransacked practitioners' homes with the excuse that someone had reported them to the police. Some policemen even directly took practitioners away from their work places. Up to now, over 10 practitioners were held in Huanggang Drug Rehabilitation Center and forcibly brainwashed. Some practitioners protested by going on hunger strike and requested to be released. The current situation is not known yet.
