(Clearwisdom.net) On November 21, 2002, Beijing Dafa practitioner Pan Xu and his girlfriend Li Shufeng, also a practitioner, were arrested from home and later sentenced to two years in a forced labor camp. Currently Pan Xu is detained at the Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp. Li Shufeng may have been sent to Beijing Women's Forced Labor Camp. Pan Xu's elderly father has been left at home to care for himself.
After July 20th, 1999, Beijing University officials carried out a series of severe persecutions against Dafa practitioners. They even boasted, "No one can do anything to stop us." They organized seminars to slander Falun Dafa. They forced practitioners to attend and tried to make them denounce Dafa. Whenever they saw three practitioners together, the officials would label them as "having a Fa-conference." These practitioners would then be arrested and sent to labor camps. On "sensitive" days such as days leading up to festivals or national holidays, police would round up practitioners and send them to detention centers or labor camps. They tried to force Dafa practitioners to abandon "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Professors and students who refused to renounce their beliefs would face forced retirement or expulsion. Their intention is to destroy practitioners' spirit, health and financial security. The following is a brief report regarding several practitioners.
