[Weifang City, Shandong Province] Urgent! Rescue Tortured Dafa Practitioner Liu Peidong -- His Wife was Brutally Killed

Mr. Liu Peidong, a Dafa practitioner from Weifang City, is 27 years old. On the night of December 29, 2001, several lawless policemen from the Ershilipu Police Precinct climbed over walls, broke into Mr. Liu Peidong's home and forcibly took away Mr. Liu Peidong, his wife Guo Ping and two other homeless Dafa practitioners who were temporarily staying at his home. They were abused at the Kuiwen Detention Center. At the detention center, Guo Ping refused to cooperate with the perpetrators and went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal detention. She was force-fed through a nasal tube inserted into her esophagus and stomach. Her death was caused by a massive stomach hemorrhage. The lawless police officers didn't stop persecuting Liu Peidong. The same day his wife was killed, Weifang City's Kuiwen Court illegally sentenced Liu Peidong to seven years of imprisonment, which was determined beforehand by the insiders in the court. He had only ten days for appeal.

We call on people with a sense of justice from all walks of life to pay attention to this case and help Liu Peidong.

[Lanzhou City, Gansu Province] Dafa Practitioners Successfully Broadcast the True Facts of Falun Gong Using an Amplifier

One day the second half of last year, Dafa practitioners placed an amplifier on Gaolan Hill, which is behind the student dorm building of the Northwest Nationalities University in Lanzhou City, to broadcast the truth of the persecution against Falun Gong. The broadcast lasted for two hours and all the students on campus heard the truth. Later, the security guards went to the hill to try to find the amplifier, but they failed to find it.

[Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province] Critical Situation of Dafa Practitioner Liu Junhua Who has been on a Hunger Strike for 47 Days

Mr. Liu Junhua, a practitioner from Jiamusi City/Heilongjiang Province, is 36 years old. Because he went to Beijing to peacefully appeal for Falun Gong in September 1999, he was illegally sentenced to two years of forced labor. In November 2000, together with ten other Dafa practitioners he escaped from the labor camp. At the end of October 2001, he was unfortunately arrested in Mishan City/Heilongjiang Province. In order to resist the vicious persecution, Liu Junhua went on a hunger strike for 44 days. Later he was released for medical treatment at home. During the large-scale raid on the night of April 9, 2002, lawless policemen from the Nanwei Police Precinct forcibly arrested him from his home.

At the detention center, Liu Junhua again resisted the vicious persecution with a hunger strike. Now has been sent to the Xigemu Forced Labor Camp. Recently, his parents went to the Forced Labor Camp to see him, but they were not allowed to see their son. An official there told them, "Now Liu Junhua is very thin and weak." At this time, Liu Junhua had already been on a hunger strike for 47 days and he is in grave danger.

On the night of April 9, when lawless policeman ransacked Liu Junhua's house, they stole Ms. Luo Hui's (Liu Junhua's wife, a Dafa practitioner) cell phone, which cost 3,000 Yuan [500 Yuan is the average monthly income in urban areas of China]. In order to get her cell phone back, Luo Hui went to the Nanwei Police Precinct and the Dong Feng Police Precinct several times. At last, Luan Bo, the director of the Nanwei Police Precinct told her that no policeman stole her cell phone, and he also told Luo Hui, "You can accuse us anywhere." When Luo Hui did report the theft to their superiors, policemen in the Nanwei Police Precinct decided to retaliate against her. On the second afternoon, May 5, they went to Luo Hui's home to arrest her. At that time her parents-in-law said Luo Hui was not at home and didn't open the door for the lawless policemen. Then the lawless policemen waited outside the door. To avoid being arrested, she couldn't go back home or go to work. She was forced to live in exile.

It was said that the officials from Luo Hui's work unit went to her home many times. They persuaded Luo Hui's parents-in-law to ask her to go back to work and threatened that if she were off duty over half a month, she would be expelled.

[Liaoning Province] Personnel from "610 Office" Transfer Technicians from All Universities and Colleges in Scheme to Reinforce Web Censorship and Monitoring

Recently, Liaoning Province's Police Department officially established a terrorist organization named the "610 Office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems] and applied the policy of "implication" to all units. Should a Falun Gong practitioner be found, leaders of the unit would be fired immediately or be expelled from Party membership, even though that person might not be aware of the situation. In addition, they transferred nearly 40 technicians from different universities and colleges and schemed to reinforce the censorship and monitoring of the Internet.

[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp Director Says: "I Have to Do This Even Though I am Fully Aware it is Not Right"

  1. On March 5, personnel from the Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp put four Dafa practitioners, Ma Yongqian, Yuan Chengli, Lin Haiying and Guo into solitary confinement. The authorities claimed to the public that the four practitioners were psychotic. Deputy director Shi Changjing once said that they started to process release procedures for the four practitioners on the day they were put into solitary confinement. Presently, the four are still held in solitary confinement in dark and humid cells.
  2. On April 25, Dafa practitioners Ren Guozhi and Li Lizhuang went to have a dialogue with officials in the Forced Labor Camp on behalf of all the practitioners being held in the No.3 Division. They were put into solitary confinement on the same day and were tortured by being hung from their handcuffs. They haven't yet been released.
  3. On April 25, personnel from the Forced Labor Camp forcibly shaved all Dafa practitioners' heads. For practitioners who refused to cooperate, they ordered prisoners to carry out the order.
  4. On April 28, at the instigation of some vicious policemen, several prisoners beat five or six practitioners in the restroom. These practitioners were on hunger strikes. In the dormitory of the No.3 Division, division chief Wang Zhanqi and vicious policeman Song Tao directed prisoners to pull practitioners' both arms backwards from their backs to their heads, and then forced practitioners to keep their arms held in that high position perpendicular to their body for as long as two hours. During this period, being afraid that practitioners' painful cries would be heard, they ordered other prisoners to loudly recite the labor camp rules continuously. I myself suffered this inhumane torture and the pain was beyond description.
  5. Dafa practitioner Wang Hongbin's detention term expired during the period he was out on bail. After people from the police precinct of the practitioner's residential area had already received a copy of the release certificate, Wang's family members repeatedly went to the Forced Labor Camp to get the release certificate and bail money, but they were rejected. At present, Wang Hongbin was again arrested by vicious policemen from the local station while clarifying the truth to people and was directly sent to the Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp. He has been held in solitary confinement for more than half a month now.
  6. Deputy director Shi Changjing of the labor camp used extremely base and vicious means to exert pressure on Dafa practitioners who carried out hunger strikes. When a large number of practitioners were on hunger strikes, Shi even ordered that unless Dafa practitioners stopped their hunger strike, none of the prisoners would be given food. When a few practitioners were on a hunger strike, Shi would lock prisoners who were assigned to watch the practitioners into solitary confinement in order to pressure the practitioners. His viciousness has reached the degree of impudence. Shi Changjing was even proud of himself and shamelessly claimed, "I have to do this even though I am fully aware it is not right."

[Suizhou City, Hubei Province] Secret Kidnapping of Two Dafa Practitioners

On April 5, 2002, personnel from Anlu City's "610 Office" secretly kidnapped two Dafa practitioners, 27-year-old Mr. Gong Huatao and 24-year-old Ms. Wang Li, from Suizhou City at their rented place when they were making Dafa truth-clarifying literature. Their whereabouts are now unknown. The police also confiscated some cash, machines, computers and materials.

In mid March, Dafa practitioner Zhou Shouying from Suizhou City was also secretly kidnapped and is now suffering torture in Anlu City.

[Bing County, Heilongjiang Province] Evildoings of Ningyuan Township Supervisor

Sun Yu, director of Ningyuan Township, Bing County, Heilongjiang Province, took advantage of his authority to relentlessly persecute Dafa practitioners. In order to prevent practitioners from validating Dafa in Beijing, he dispatched someone staying in Beijing to arrest local practitioners who went to Beijing to peacefully appeal for Falun Gong. Officials in Bing County's Police Department illegally arrested Dafa practitioners. No matter how long ago practitioners' detention terms had expired, he refused to release them. Due to his persecution, dozens of practitioners were detained in the last year alone. Three of them were sentenced to forced labor.

[Changchun City, Jilin Province] Using Righteous Thoughts, Eliminate the Slanderous Propaganda that Poisons People's Minds

Recently, a book was published in Changchun City, edited by Song Jianfeng and Wang Zhigang from the same city, to defame and slander Dafa and Teacher, which served as a tool for collaborators [former Falun Gong practitioners who have gone astray due to brainwashing and torture] in detention centers.

The book is free of charge for circulation at home and abroad, to poison the minds of people. All practitioners who know this news: please, use righteous thoughts to eliminate the evils that manipulate the book and authors.
