1. [Beijing] A Series of Speakers in Zhongshan Park Broadcast the Truth in Sequence

This is an old report on what happened several months ago. Falun Dafa practitioners had placed a series of speakers on the lawns of Zhongshan Park in Beijing. These speakers were turned on in sequence, which made vicious guards run all over the place (in an attempt to stop this broadcast of the truth).

2. [China] 10-Meter Long Falun Dafa Banner Seen on National Highway 102

Around July 20, 2001, on the railroad bridge in the western section of Ji county of the Beijing-Harbin Highway, a one-meter wide and ten-plus-meter long Falun Dafa banner was on display. It caught a lot of people's attention.

3. [China] Fa-Rectification Story from a Falun Dafa Practitioner Applying for a Job

A Falun Dafa practitioner went to a company in response to a recruiting advertisement. When he entered the door, the general manager of the company was saying some slanderous words about Falun Dafa to other applicants. When filling out his career experiences, this Falun Dafa practitioner wrote down the following:

"Dear General Manager, Master Li Hongzhi has taught us 'Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance) and has unconditionally made each of us physically healthy and turned us into the most righteous people. As for the 'self-immolation incident,' it was staged by people with ulterior motives to frame Falun Dafa. This is the same as the ten-year 'cultural revolution' you have personally experienced, which was when right and wrong were completely reversed. Kind-hearted, ordinary citizens are now being cheated, taken advantage of, and made to fight other ordinary citizens who are just as kind-hearted. One day the truth will eventually come out. And that's when you will know Falun Dafa practitioners are truly of great virtue, and that they are people who the leaders of society can completely trust."

The general manager took the application form in his hands. When he finished reading the entire content, he raised his head to look at the back of the exiting practitioner. The general manager was filled with a sense of regret.

4. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] The Brutal Treatment inside the Changlinzi Labor Camp in Harbin

At dinnertime on May 24, steadfast Falun Gong practitioners illegally held in the 4th team of the Changlinzi Labor Camp started their hunger strike. On the morning of May 27, police officers in charge of the labor camp dragged away the Falun Dafa practitioners who were considered to be the organizers of the hunger strike and force-feed them. These practitioners were tied up, while prison guards used thick stomach tubes to force-feed them corn porridge mixed with a lot of salt. After practitioner Peng Zhen was force-fed once, police officer Shi Jingchang instructed guards to force-feed Peng through his other nostril. When Wang Hongbin was force-fed once, he was also ordered by Shi Jingchang to go through another round of force-feeding. After practitioner Kong Deyi (a.k.a. Kong Xiaohai) was through with the force-feeding, he placed his hand on his chest, and couldn't stop coughing. Not long after that, Kong Deyi was in critical condition, and driven to a hospital. Two days later, authorities of the labor camp claimed Kong Deyi had died.

The environment that the 4th team lives in is quite terrible. Practitioners are not allowed to talk to each other. Each steadfast practitioner is assigned two regular prisoners who are responsible for that practitioner. If that practitioner talks to another practitioner, guards and cell heads will violently beat the regular prisoners who have been assigned to be responsible for (the activities) of that practitioner. This scheme has been deployed to instigate dissatisfaction among regular prisoners toward Falun Dafa practitioners, so that these regular prisoners will beat and scold practitioners. Everyday, practitioners have to work until 12:00 midnight. It is not uncommon that a practitioner's hands and feet are swollen. However, the workload is never reduced.

At night, whenever one practitioner needs to go to the restroom, all other practitioners will be woken up and ordered to form a line to use the restroom.

Frequently steadfast practitioners in the labor camp are locked up in small, isolated cells in solitary confinement for no reason. They are hung with both arms raised up and in this position they can't sleep. It takes one or two weeks before they are allowed to leave solitary confinement, and their legs and feet will usually be swollen out of shape. These steadfast practitioners are also not allowed to meet with family members.

5. [Inner Mongolian District] Dongtu Forced Labor Institute Cruelly Abuses Falun Dafa Practitioners

Some male Falun Dafa practitioners have been detained in Dongtu Forced Labor Institute, in the Wuyuan Bameng District of Inner Mongolia. Closely following the instructions from the "610 Office," [An office created by the government to deal specifically with issues related to Falun Gong] the prison guards cruelly abused the detained practitioners, and assigned criminal prisoners to the task of monitoring the Falun Dafa practitioner detainees around the clock. The criminals were rewarded with a reduction in their term of sentence.

The guards assaulted the inside of a young practitioner's mouth by shocking him with an electric baton. They even forced an electric baton down a practitioner's throat and then turned it on to shock him from the inside. This caused him to become incontinent.

The Institute adopted a special new rule, that practitioners must finish their meals within five minutes. If they do not finish on time, the guards will beat them or throw away the food. Some practitioners' relatives sent in some food, but none of it actually reached any of the detained practitioners because the prison guards had eaten it all. During their visits, practitioners' families could see that the practitioners had sustained numerous injuries to their bodies.

The Institute closely guards all internal information from leaking outside. Without any monitoring or the restraint normally exerted by the general public, the Director of the Institute has easily become a lawless official. There is no justice and no law in the Dongtu Forced Labor Institute. The practitioners are enduring such a difficult existence there, and for them, every day must seem as long as a year.

We hope that kind people will gain an awareness of and support the practitioners being persecuted within the walls of the Dongtu Forced Labor Institute.

6. [Jilin Province] 610 Office Kidnaps Practitioner Lu Guirong and Authorities Secretly Detained Practitioners from Changchun City

Practitioner Lu Guirong is a retired high school teacher in Nong'an City, Jilin Province. Around 3 PM on July 17, 2001, she suddenly disappeared. About ten days later, a newly released prisoner from Changchun Tiebei Prison brought a message to her family that the 610 Office had kidnapped and secretly detained her in Changchun Tiebei Prison. The prison authorities gave no legal notification, nor any reason for the action.

Insiders said that many of the Changchun City practitioners, who had suddenly disappeared, had actually been secretly detained in Changchun Tiebei Prison. The prison had attempted various means to block this information. Regardless, some of the detained practitioners' families got the news and came to the prison looking for their relatives, only to have the prison deny their requests.

7. Laixi, Shandong Province] Ruthless Police Suppress Practitioners of Laixi Area

In July 2001, the ruthless police of the Laixi Area of Shandong Province began a new campaign to suppress Falun Dafa practitioners. Between July 1 and July 18, eight practitioners were forcibly removed from their homes, and one practitioner's home was ransacked.

On the morning of July 6, some lawless thugs broke into practitioner Guo Xueying's house and illegally ransacked it, stealing all the Falun Dafa books, related literature and some equipment. The whereabouts of Guo Xueying is still unknown.

On July 9, practitioner Chen Yufeng was at work in her work unit. (She had been dismissed from her previous work unit for practicing Falun Gong, and is now working for a private company.) Around noon, she saw a police vehicle parked below the building, and was notified that the policemen had come to arrest her, so she didn't go downstairs. At midnight, the policemen finally raided the building and took her away. Around 12:30 AM that morning, the police also arrested her husband, Wang Meixiang, also a Falun Dafa practitioner. As of now, Chen Yufeng is detained in Qingdao City, while her husband is detained in Laixi Prison.

On July 10, policemen from at Malianzhuang Town Police Substation, in Laixi, went to Nanshankou Village and arrested practitioners Pang Xuehua and her sister, both of whom are now detained, in Qingdao City. A few days later, policemen arrested Zhao Guixiang of Malianzhuang Town. These ruthless thugs from Malianzhuang Town had been plotting some malicious activities. They carried video cameras and forced the practitioners to glue some banners to the wall, intending to use the videotape to further persecute the practitioners. Once the practitioners recognized this, however, they refused to comply. The angered thugs then publicly beat the practitioners by kicking them, and striking them with their fists.

On July 16, led by the notoriously vicious policemen Shen Tao, a group of about eight or nine policemen, in two police vehicles, drove to Wazhuang Village, Rizhuang Town. They illegally ransacked practitioner Wang Xingmei's house and took her away by force.

Two practitioners from Jiangshan were also arrested. Details of the incident are still unknown.

It is out of compassion that we advise people not to encourage or to help the evil ones to suppress good people. When incorrigible people meet with disasters and accidents, it is the retribution of Heavenly Law: Good is rewarded with good and evil will meet with evil.

8. [Beijing] People Study "Zhuan Falun" despite the High Risk of Severe Persecution

Even during the rigorous time when Jiang Zemin and his accomplices used the "Self-immolation Incident" to deceive people, there were still many new practitioners in Beijing, obtaining the Fa (the Great Law). Some of them came to Falun Dafa with their entire family, all of them rapidly progressing in their understanding, after obtaining the Fa. Now, even more people are studying the great book, "Zhuan Falun."

9. [China] Jiang Zemin's Accomplices Highly Reward Defectors

Presently, there are a number of defectors working night and day in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. These so-called assistants (former practitioners who have taken an evil path and turned into demons) in Haidian district, Beijing deceive and persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. They are paid a monthly salary of 1,500 Yuan RMB and live in hotels. When they are able to make one practitioner give up his/her belief in "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance", the defectors are paid a monetary reward of up to 10,000 Yuan (about 14 months of an average monthly salary in the city).

10. [Heilongjiang Province] The Criminal Records of Police in the Yimianpo Labor Camp of Heilongjiang Province

The police in the Yimianpo Labor Camp of Heilongjiang Province cruelly tortured and physically abused Falun Gong practitioners. They forced practitioners into doing hard labor , which included carrying rocks up a hill. If they thought that the practitioners walked too slowly, they would beat the practitioners. Practitioners did intensive labor for more than 10 hours a day. Some practitioners' backs festered and bled from this sort of torture. The "medical" treatment methods the police used were as cruel as their methods of torture. They would wash the practitioners' wounds with salt water and then they would scrub with toothbrushes. However, the practitioners' firm resolution in upholding Falun Dafa is unshakable and they were able to forbear.

11. [Heilongjiang Province] The Crimes of the Beian Labor Camp in Heilongjiang Province

The Beian Labor Camp physically abused Falun Dafa practitioners by forcing them to do hard labor every day. One determined Falun Dafa practitioner's head was so severely injured in an incident stemming from the abuse that he required brain surgery. This practitioner has been transferred to Suihua Labor Camp where he is presently being illegally detained.

12. [Macheng City, Hubei Province] Several Cases of Falun Dafa Practitioners Being Persecuted

Liang Yi, male, born in 1976, a resident of Macheng city, obtained Falun Dafa at the end of 1998. In March 2001, policemen from the Xinqiao Village Police Station in Baoan district took Liang Yi from his factory and brought him to the local police station. After that, his whereabouts has not been known. Then in April 2001, the Macheng police went to Liang Yi's home and told his father that Liang Yi was arrested for distributing Falun Dafa flyers in Shenzhen city. At the time that this report was written, we still do not know whether or not Liang Yi is even alive.

Zhou Zeying, female, a resident of Macheng city. She went to Beijing to appeal on December 27, 2000 and was forcibly sent back to Macheng city and detained in Detention Center No. 2. She firmly refused to write the promise statement (a document that guaranteed that one would no longer practice Falun Gong) and is still being detained in the detention center.

Wang Xiaoli, female, a laid-off worker in Macheng city. On December 6, 2000, she was tricked by two vicious policemen, from the Nanhu Police Station, into going to their station . They beat her about the head and body using wooden clubs and have detained her for an indefinite term in Detention Center No. 2 of Macheng city.

Li Xin, male, 32, is a resident of Macheng city. He went to Beijing to appeal on November 27, 2000, and was illegally detained. Later, the Gulou Police took him back to his hometown. In an act that revealed their vicious tendencies, the police hung him up off the ground and caused him to have urinary incontinence. Li Xin was later sent to a detention center where he is presently being held illegally.

13. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] The Criminal Record of Policeman Mao Zhixun

Mao Zhixun, male, more than 40 years old, is the former director of the Jincheng Public Security Bureau of Dongfeng Police Station in Changchun city, Jilin province. This person has a very degraded sense of morality and speaks with a vulgar tongue, often uttering foul words. Since July 1999, he has actively participated in the suppression and persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners. He has illegally detained many Falun Dafa practitioners under his jurisdiction multiple times and has illegally sent practitioners to labor camps or sentenced them to jail terms. He has also forced the policemen under his leadership to spare no effort in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. He has effectively forced them to sell their souls by threatening them with many despicable actions such as discharging them from their posts, deducting their bonuses, etc. He, himself, has brutally beaten Falun Dafa practitioners on many occasions and has fabricated their interrogation records. During his term in office, almost all of the practitioners within his jurisdiction were either illegally detained or sent to labor camps.

To our surprise, however, such a crooked person has been promoted to the position of section chief of the Household Register Section of the Jincheng Public Security Bureau in Changchun city in Jilin Province. In his new position, he has also used his power to blackmail people.

14. [Sanhe City, Hebei Province] Recent Illegal Acts of Lawless Thugs in Sanhe City

Recently, the lawless thugs in Sanhe city, Hebei province have only been arresting Falun Dafa practitioners in small numbers at a time. They pretended to be kind but they use the ideals of going to work and living a good life to deceive practitioners' relatives into cooperating with them in arresting practitioners. Then they employ several defectors (former practitioners who have been brainwashed) to attack and persecute practitioners in the brainwashing classes.

Yuan Junping, female, more than 30 years old, was arrested by the police from the Beicheng Police Station while she was selling books. She firmly resisted the arrest, but was carried onto the police vehicle by several burly officers. After being dragged up to the fourth floor of the police station, her whole body was black and blue from the abuse; she then fell down and lost consciousness. Some kindhearted people saw her and told her relatives. The police did not release her until her husband came to tell them that she previously had heart disease and is now experiencing a relapse.

15. [Boli County, Heilongjiang Province] Retribution for Destroying Falun Dafa Books

A male villager in Donggang village, Boli County, Heilongjiang Province, more than 50 years old, had good health. After July 20, 1999, however, because he was deceived by the lies that he saw on television, he looked upon Falun Dafa with hatred and began to tear up Falun Dafa books. He died suddenly without any evident illnesses. People, please wake up! It is a heavenly principle that good is rewarded with good, and evil is met with evil! Consider Falun Dafa with kindness and leave a bright road for yourself!
