[Changchun City, Jilin Province] Several Hundred Illegally Detained Dafa Practitioners Hold a Hunger Strike to Protest the Persecution

From March 5 to the end of this month, lawless police in Changchun City have relentlessly arrested and persecuted Dafa practitioners. No matter whether it was during the daytime or in the night, policemen pried practitioners' doors open or tricked practitioners into detention. Up until mid May, more than 400 practitioners have been detained at the Daguang Detention Center; around 150 practitioners at the so-called "law study class," which is actually a brainwashing class, and over 300 practitioners at the No. 3 Detention Center. Some of these practitioners have been transferred to other places such as labor camps. During their detention, practitioners didn't cooperate with the illegal persecution and many of them held hunger strikes. Some have been on a hunger strike for more than 20 days. Some practitioners in the "law study class" have been on a hunger strike for more than 15 days. More than 100 practitioners in the No. 3 Detention Center also held a hunger strike, risking their own lives to rectify the Fa. Some practitioners have been on a hunger strike for more than 20 days and are too weak to take care of themselves. The thugs completely ignored the practitioners' lives. Some practitioners were sent to a police hospital for further abuse and mistreatment, and some have lost consciousness. Some were tied onto a bed and forcibly given injections. Even in such a brutal environment, practitioners at the No. 3 Detention Center still strive daily for a cultivation environment. They send forth righteous thoughts, do meditation exercises and collectively study the Fa. They regard themselves as practitioners at all times.

In the No. 3 Detention Center, guards forced practitioners to take off all their clothes, then they rummaged through the clothes looking for Dafa materials. Some practitioners refused to cooperate, so the thugs tortured them severely. Under such persecution, practitioners protested with a hunger strike. Some were sent to the police hospital for further torture. The doctors and nurses at the police hospital have no professional morals or ethics whatsoever. They specialize in persecuting Dafa practitioners, and "treat" practitioners with drugs and force-feeding, using very thick feeding tubes. No matter how the evils torture them, practitioners are still determined to cultivate Dafa.

[Jilin City, Jilin Province] Practitioners Post a Banner Reading "Falun Dafa is the Righteous Fa" in a Police Department

Two practitioners from Jilin City openly and nobly posted a banner reading, "Falun Dafa is the Righteous Fa" in the hallway of a police department. Afterwards, they safely returned with righteous thoughts.

[Lanzhou City, Gansu Province] Brutal Torture of Female Dafa Practitioners in Gansu Province's No.2 Forced Labor Camp

Gansu Province's No.2 Forced Labor Camp is located in the Anning District, Lanzhou City. Some female Dafa practitioners were illegally detained there. At this camp, as long as Dafa practitioners practiced the exercises or spoke loudly, "Falun Dafa is Good," lawless policemen would hang them up by their handcuffs for one week, or even over twenty days.

[China] In Order to Avoid a Repeat Incident of Broadcasting Falun Gong Truth-Clarifying Video, the Security Bureau is Developing a Cable TV Surveillance System

Since the Dafa truth-clarifying videos were broadcast through the cable TV network, the Security Bureau organized some enterprises to develop a cable TV surveillance system to monitor amplifiers by wireless signal transmission. Once the system is completed, no manpower is needed to monitor the cable. Dafa practitioners who use cable TV to clarify the truth: please pay attention to your safety!

[Yitong County, Jilin Province] Police Authorities Harass Falun Gong Practitioners around May 1^st; More Dafa Practitioners Have to Live in Exile

Li Qiang, the newly appointed director of Yitong County in Jilin Province persecuted Dafa practitioners to keep his official position. Since March, officials in Yitong County started another round of persecution against Falun Gong. Dozens of Dafa practitioners have been illegally arrested and some of them even have been illegally sentenced to forced labor. At the beginning of April, policemen often went to Dafa practitioners' homes to get fingerprints and record Dafa practitioners' biographical data. They treated Dafa practitioners as criminals. Before May 1^st, police authorities again forced Dafa practitioners to sign the ready-made "guarantee statement" and "separation statement;" otherwise, they would illegally detain Dafa practitioners. This latest round of suppression is the reason why lots of Dafa practitioners were forced to leave their homes to avoid being arrested. But the vile persons were still not satisfied. They claimed openly through TV that, after May 1^st, they would arrest all the Dafa practitioners who live in exile or work out of town.

After the May 1^st holiday, the police authorities used the excuse that May 13^th was a "sensitive day" to trace Dafa practitioners everywhere. Now in each unit, officials must be on duty to track Dafa practitioners, which forced Dafa practitioners to live in exile. The thugs also harassed Dafa practitioners' families. Furthermore, vile persons in Yitong County spread many horrible rumors about Dafa practitioners to frighten local people. They attempted to make people hate Dafa practitioners. They also hired individuals to monitor practitioners.

The following is the list of names of vile persons in Yitong County who persecuted Dafa practitioners. Names of other people who are responsible are still being collected.

[Yitong County, Jilin Province] New Intimidation "Rumor" Spreads: People are not to Dress in Yellow, the Most Frightening Color for Jiang

A new rumor is spread as a "Conference Theme" in Yitong County of Jilin Province, that "Falun Gong practitioners are supposed to be very sensitive to the color yellow. Whoever wears anything made of yellow fabric will most likely be killed."

In fact, except for those Chinese people who are deceived, most people know that it is Jiang who is afraid of the color yellow, especially during his recent visit in Germany. He was scared to death when he saw the color yellow. The spread of this rumor shows that the evils are scared by the righteousness of Dafa practitioners. They even fear Dafa practitioners' favorite color.

Dafa practitioner Mr. Shan Jincheng from Tianhe Section of the Guangshen Company used to be a voluntary Falun Gong contact person in the Baiyun District. In March 2001, Shan was arrested on the street and was sentenced to one year of forced labor at the Chini Forced Labor Camp in the Huadu District, Guangzhou City because he persisted in practicing Falun Dafa. After Shan's term had expired, because he defied brainwashing, he was forcibly sent to Shenzhen City for additional brainwashing in mid April 2002. Even his family members don't know exactly where he is now detained. According to people who know his situation, Shan is currently being held at the Longjing Asylum in the Nantou District, Shenzhen City.
