Personnel at the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp, using instruments of torture such as Electric Batons and the "Big Hang Up,"* forced Falun Dafa practitioners to write the so-called "Three Statements"** in an attempt to coerce the practitioners to turn against Dafa.

Those who refuse to compromise undergo punishment such as forced squatting, sitting on a metal chair, being confined in a solitary compartment, or being shocked with electric batons. Beginning in April of this year, the labor camp became more vicious. The camp police forced Dafa practitioners to make a "pledge" both in the morning and in the evening. During the morning exercise session Dafa practitioners are forced to shout out the pledge. The police compiled 40 questions and forced Dafa practitioners to recite them. If you refuse to recite them you will be tortured or sent to the special division where practitioners are assembled for "training." They must finish their production quota; even sixty or seventy-year-old practitioners are not spared. To be punished by standing for a long time is considered "lenient." The policemen went to every squad to hysterically swear at Dafa practitioners and slander Falun Dafa. The Dafa practitioners who are being illegally kept there are suffering every day.

* "Big Hang Up" There are two forms of this torture: (1) With both hands cuffed behind the back and only toes touching the ground, one is hung by a rope that is tied to the metal window frames; (2) One hand of a practitioner is cuffed to one bunk bed and the other hand to another bed, and the two beds are pulled in the opposite directions.

** "Three Statements" are documents coerced under extreme pressure, torture and brainwashing, designed by the Chinese authorities to ensure that detained Falun Gong practitioners are appropriately brainwashed. The statements consist of a letter of repentance, a guarantee to never again practice Falun gong, and a list containing names and addresses of all family, friends and acquaintances of the detainee who practices Falun gong. This system was concocted by 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.

Female practitioner Yu Aijie was illegally abducted by the police on June 30, 2003. Her whereabouts are still unknown.

More than ten Falun Dafa practitioners from Xiangfang, Harbin City, were illegally taken away from their homes on April 10^th (this has already been reported on Clearwisdom.net). Among them are female practitioners Zhu Xiuli and several others. They are being held at the Harbin No. 2 Detention Center, where they held a hunger strike lasting more than two weeks.

The police illegally detained Luoding City Dafa practitioner Ms. Chen Aiying and another practitioner on June 29^th for handing out truth clarification materials at Silun Township, Luoding City. Their whereabouts are still unknown.

The political and judiciary committee of the oil field, the "610 Office," the police department, and other organizations are in a frenzy in their persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners. On June 6^th, 2003 six Falun Dafa practitioners were illegally taken away and sent to the Liaoning Provincial Brainwashing Center in Fushun City, where they were ruthlessly tortured. Owing to many reasons these practitioners failed to uphold their xinxing [the nature of the mind or the heart, moral character] and let the evil accomplish its purpose. The "610 Office" and the police department announced that they would continue to take Dafa practitioners to Fushun Brainwashing Center to be tortured.

Since June, the Laishui County police have arrested many Falun Dafa practitioners. At about 11 p.m. on June 28, 2003, the Head of the Political and Security Section of the Laishui County Police Department, Dai Chunjie, led a group of policemen to climb over a wall to enter Dafa practitioner Liu Yumin's home. They illegally searched her house with fabricated charges and arrested her without following proper legal procedures. Several other practitioners were also illegally arrested around that time.

Gu Jianmin approached Dafa practitioners and offered unemployment subsidies to attempt to bribe Dafa practitioners into becoming planted agents for the police department.
