This morning, insiders say that one more practitioner has died in Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp. This practitioner was on a hunger strike to protest the illegal detention.

[Jinan City, Shandong Province] An Evil Exhibition Brings Disaster

An evil exhibition slandering Falun Gong was held in Jinan City, Shandong Province from August 9 to 23, 2001, bringing retribution to the entire area.

According to the Qilu Evening Daily dated August 24, 2001: "At 7:10 A.M. On August 23, dense clouds suddenly formed followed by a violent storm with heavy rain and large hailstones falling from the sky. Large trees were uprooted. Many advertising signboards were blown down. Several construction sites and buildings were severely damaged." "Starting at 5:30 A.M., some areas of Dezhou City were attacked by wind and hail. The biggest hailstone was 20-millimeter in diameter. The grade of the windstorm was 10. The disaster area covered 14 townships in Dezhou, Yucheng, Linyi, Pingyuan and Qihe. About 734,250 acres of crops were damaged and 18,975 acres were so badly damaged that no crops could be harvested from them. The direct economic loss is estimated to be 170 million RMB Yuan (about US $20.5 million)."

[Huanghua City, Hebei Province] A Successful Experience-Sharing Conference Irritates Officials

On June 19, 2001 more than 100 Falun Gong practitioners held an experience sharing conference in a practitioner's house in Huanghua City, Hebei Province. Some practitioners told of their persecution when being illegally detained. They also shared their experiences of using righteous thoughts to walk out of jail. Many practitioners listened with tears in their eyes. The conference was successful and all practitioners left safely.

The conference irritated local officials. Several days later, the police arrested more than 50 local practitioners from Huanghua City and the surrounding areas who had attended the conference. On July 21, three flyer distribution centers were seized. Many police were sent out to search for and monitor Falun Gong practitioners.

We should learn a lesson from practitioners in Huanghua City, and Cangzhou City. Information was leaked. The evil took advantage of it and damaged Dafa. We should study the Fa more and identify our xingxing problems, leaving no space for evil.

[Yinan County, Shandong Province] Printing Site Destroyed By Police

Police raided the site where Falun Gong materials were being printed in Yinan County, Shandong Province. They confiscated the copier, computer, and printer. It is said that one practitioner did not pay attention and was followed by the police. He had the mentality of "doing work."

During the current critical period, practitioners, please take the Fa as teacher, strictly follow the requirements, work hard at eliminating all of your attachments, and pay close attention to the relationship between Fa-Rectification and self-cultivation. This lesson should make us more rational and more mature.

The police of Yinan County have detained practitioners Lu Jizhi, Li Yanyan and Xiao Su for more than one month.

Their actions shocked heaven and earth. At 3:00 P.M. on July 21, 2001, a grade 10 tornado with egg-size hailstones struck a farm and many towns. The roofs were blown off of many houses in Yinghua Village. Crops on 1980 acres were completely destroyed. The damage in other townships and towns was also very serious.

[Suixi County, Anhui Province] The Crimes Committed by Police Officer Zhang Shoujian

Zhang Shoujian, the director of Political Security Section of Public Security Bureau of Suixi County, Anhui Province, illegally arrested, interrogated, and detained Falun Gong practitioners. He illegally searched their houses and confiscated their property. Since 2000, more than 30 practitioners have been illegally detained. Three of them were sent to labor reeducation camps. Under the direction of Zhang, police used cruel torture to interrogate practitioners in the detention center. Zhang illegally impounded about 10,000 RMB Yuan (about US $1,200) of practitioners' money. He has stolen thousands of RMB Yuan from practitioners who went to Beijing to appeal.

Many practitioners have been in detention centers for over six months. Zhang is still plotting against Falun Gong practitioners. We appeal to all kind-hearted people to pay attention to this matter and to all judicial officers to investigate Zhang's crimes.
