2. [Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province] Officers at the Qianjin Branch of Jiamusi Police Department Commit Sacrilege to Torture Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Wang Dongxia

On December 13, 2002, Chen Wanyou, member of the Jiamusi City "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], in coordination with officers from the Qianjin Branch of the Police Department and the Nangang Police Station broke into Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Dongxia's home. They confiscated 800 yuan in cash that her husband was carrying before taking her away. [The average monthly salary for an urban worker in China is 500 yuan.] Inside the Qianjin Branch of the Police Department, officers beat Ms. Wang. They stuck pictures of the respected Master of Falun Gong into her shoes and then forced her to stand barefooted on the cement floor. She was also deprived of sleep with both hands cuffed behind her to a chair. The police also tried to force Ms. Wang to sit on pictures of Falun Gong's Master. When she vehemently refused, they tried to force the picture under her legs. She remained handcuffed until the following day, when she was transferred to the detention center.

On January 6, 2003, Ms. Wang and several other Falun Dafa practitioners were unlawfully sent into the Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp. On their first day in the forced labor camp, with their hands cuffed behind them, these practitioners were all handcuffed to a bed during brainwashing.

Those who participated in this persecution include Deputy Brigade Chief Zhang Xiaodan, and police officers Liu Yadong and Li Yongbo.

3. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Heping District Court in Shenyang City Is Designated to Unlawfully Put Falun Dafa Practitioners on Trial

The Shenyang City Court has designated the Heping District Court to exclusively handle the unlawful sentencing of Falun Dafa practitioners. Police Officer Zhang Guokui (phonetic spelling) has brutally beaten and viciously cursed Falun Dafa practitioners as a matter of routine. Zhang has even locked practitioners in small cells and forbidden them from using the restroom at any time. Then Zhang sarcastically shouts, "How come cultivators need to use the restroom?" As a result, the practitioners suffered immensely, and some had no choice but to defecate in their pants.

4. [Chongqing] Falun Dafa Practitioners Ms. Liu Taiping and Ms. Peng Wenbi Are Persecuted

Ms. Liu Taiping, 62, lives at Anju Town in Tongliang County, Chongqing. In March 2000, she was returned to Chongqing and held in the local detention center for over a month after going to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. In December 2000, she was again abducted for distributing Falun Gong truth-clarifying materials and unlawfully sentenced to two years of forced labor. The forced labor camp refused to admit her because of her high blood pressure, so she was sent to an elderly nursing facility for an extended stay under surveillance. In May 2003, she managed to walk away from the nursing home with righteous thoughts in mind. On September 20, 2003, officers from the Anju Police Station unlawfully recaptured her at the home of a relative. Her current location is unknown.

Ms. Peng Wenbin, in her fifties, lives within the jurisdiction of the Datian Neighborhood Committee in Anju Town, in Tongliang County, Chongqing. She was unlawfully arrested in December 2000 for distributing Falun Gong truth-clarifying materials and sentenced to one year of forced labor. In May 2003, fellow practitioner Ms. Liu Taiping managed to escape from the elderly nursing home, so the police took this as an excuse to conduct an unlawful search of Ms. Peng's home. Two CDs were found that contained the facts of the Falun Gong persecution. Ms. Peng was again unlawfully sentenced, this time to two years of forced labor.

5. [Suining City, Sichuan Province] All-Out Campaign is Launched to Unlawfully Arrest Falun Dafa Practitioners

On the evening of November 5, 2003, the Suining Police launched an all-out campaign to unlawfully arrest Falun Dafa practitioners, resulting in many arrests, several of which occurred in subordinate townships. Other practitioners have been forced to leave their homes to avoid the persecution. Even some of their family members who do not practice Falun Gong have been taken away. Some of those arrested have been released after being extorted for around 2000 yuan each. Many practitioners had contacted each other using their residential telephones, which they did not realize had been monitored by the police.

At the moment, the Suining authorities are planning to hold three sessions of brainwashing classes, the first of which has already begun. It is being held in the Chengbei Temporary Custody and Investigation Institute in Suining City. Recently, more Falun Dafa practitioners have been unlawfully arrested, including two in Xinqiao Town.

6. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Wuhan Police Stations Conspire with Neighborhood Administration Offices to Attempt to Coerce Falun Dafa Practitioners into Writing the "Three Guarantee Statements"

Recently, police stations in various districts of Wuhan City have coordinated with Neighborhood Administration offices by sending people to visit Falun Gong practitioners whose names they have on file. Attempts are again being made against practitioners to coerce them into writing the "three guarantee statements" [Statements declaring that he or she is remorseful for practicing Falun Gong and guarantees not to practice Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and never again associate with any Falun Dafa practitioners.]. Anyone who refuses to comply will be sent to the brainwashing center. Zhao Changjiang, Deputy Chief of the Chezhan Street Police Station, led a man and three women to deceive Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Xu Fuzhen into voluntarily coming to the police station, where police captured Xu and sent her to the brainwashing center.

7. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp Escalates Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners

Since September 7, 2003, a round of even more severe persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners has been under way at the Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp in Harbin City. Falun Dafa practitioners have been forced to crouch on the ground from five o'clock each morning until midnight. Police officers have tortured practitioners with electric batons and the Tiger Benches [a torturing device, illustrated and described at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2001/11/24/16156.html]. They have also driven nails into practitioners' fingernails and force-fed them with water that was mixed with hot red chili pepper powder. A total of over forty different torture methods were used. Over one hundred forty Falun Dafa practitioners have been enduring these inhumane forms of torture. Falun Dafa practitioner Yun Fuqi suffered ten broken ribs. Guan Qingxi was stabbed in the head with an awl. Yu Guanghe (pronunciation spelling) was hung off the ground for two months and twenty days. [With both hands cuffed behind the back, and both feet just off the ground, one is hung by the handcuffs from a rope that is tied to a basketball support or house beam. Both hands and arms soon lose sensory perception and eventually go numb from lack of blood circulation.] Under the instigation of Brigade Head Zhao Shuang, criminal inmates burned Falun Dafa practitioners on the neck. In wintertime, inmates poured ice water over practitioners, soaking them from head to toe.

Individuals who participated in the inhumane torture are listed below.
Heads of the forced labor camp: Kong Qingman and Guo Weidong.
Police officers: Bai Yuqiao, Zhang Yunlong, Bai Chun Wu and Yu Zhenbo.

The police have denied any visits from family members and have already begun interrogation.

A 68-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner, Ms. Zhu (her actual given name is unknown), lives in the Xingda Community, at Jingong No. 1 Street, in Shenyang City's Tiexi District. At around 10:00 am, on December 4, 2003, officials of the Neighborhood Committee led over a dozen officers, who arrived in three police cars, to take Ms. Zhu away. Along the way, she was shouting, "Falun Dafa Is Good!" and "Falun Dafa Is the Righteous Law!" She was reportedly sent directly to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.

11. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Young Non-Practitioner Woman Warned Against Believing in Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance

A Wuhan City Falun Dafa practitioner and her entire family have been enduring the persecution of Jiang's regime for four years. Her husband still remains in a forced labor camp. The practitioner cannot support her entire family on her single income alone, so she has had to rent out her house to a young female tenant. Not long ago, she learned from this young lady that a shorthaired woman in her 40's had barged into her home to conduct an unlawful search. The woman did not find anything, but before leaving, she peeled from the wall several posters that portrayed Gods and Buddhas. She then warned the young lady not to believe in Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance, not to believe in Gods and Buddhas, and that regardless of whether one practiced Falun Gong, posters like these were forbidden. The young tenant said that she had been fearful, not knowing the real intentions of the middle-aged woman; yet she managed enough courage to safeguard those posters.
