[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Under the Shadow of the 16th Communist Party Congress

With the 16th Chinese Communist Party Congress two months away, the police substation and the neighborhood committee in a certain area of Harbin City have begun to harass Falun Dafa practitioners at any time, day or night. They try to force the practitioners to write a "statement of guarantee" to denounce Falun Gong. Practitioners who refuse to write the statement are forcibly sent to the local brainwashing class. Practitioners who remain firm in their practice of Falun Dafa while attending the brainwashing class are sentenced to jail. According to information from inside sources, the police and the neighborhood committee are each required to write a statement of guarantee (stating that certain practitioners have promised not to appeal) to the local police department branch after receiving a statement of guarantee from practitioners. The department branch, in turn, is required to report to their superiors. The statement of guarantee is made at each level, as they persecute Falun Dafa practitioners in the name of making sure the opening of the 16th Communist Party Congress goes smoothly. They bring trouble and terror to every family they harass. In addition, rental houses and rooms are being searched in every district, township and village of Harbin City in order to capture Falun Dafa practitioners.

[Sichuan Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Successfully Set Up Loudspeakers, Broadcasting the Truth of Falun Dafa Many Times

Since July, Falun Dafa practitioners as a whole in an area of Sichuan Province have come to a further understanding of Fa-rectification through experience sharing. Many practitioners who had never before stepped forward have joined the torrent of Fa-rectification, and many of those who had already stepped forward have become more diligent. Falun Dafa practitioners in this area have started an overall effort to clarify the truth and expose the evil persecution. In addition to distributing truth-clarifying flyers, CDs, bookmarks, and posting truth-clarifying stickers and banners, they have also successfully set up loudspeakers, broadcasting the truth of Falun Dafa in sessions lasting from thirty minutes to several hours in downtown areas and nearby towns, where there are relatively more people. Many people have gained an opportunity to know the truth through these efforts.
