Facts of the Persecution

The Longshan Brainwashing Center, which is directly under the control of the City's "610 Office" authorities, colluded with the Zhangshi Brainwashing Center to mentally and physically persecute illegally detained Dafa practitioners using torture. The person in charge of the Center who persecutes Falun Gong practitioners, Li Fengshi, threatened: "If you do not renounce your practice, you will not be allowed any sleep!" If practitioners still refused to renounce their belief, policeman Tang Yubao kicked them in the head and face, beat them up, shocked them with the electric baton, or tied their four limbs together, bent them in half and shoved them under the bed or tied their arms and legs to the four corners of the bed and covered them with a blanket . Other tortures included forcing practitioners to do the army squat (Squatting in one position for very long period of time), leaning forward with forehead touching the wall and bearing the weight of the body, semi-airplane posture (standing, body bent forward with both arms stretched out and backwards). Tang Yubao extorted money from those wishing to return home. He proclaimed: "Shedding this skin [changing out of the police uniform], I am a gangster."

Ding Jiefen is a Falun Dafa practitioner and exemplary teacher from the Second Experimental Primary School, Xishui County, Hubei Province. Having practiced Falun Dafa, she had benefited immensely both spiritually and physically. Because she refused to renounce her practice of Falun Dafa, she was initially detained by the Public Security Bureau and was extorted six thousand yuan. The Provincial Public Security Bureau, the "610 Office", Education Committee and the primary school principal, in their joint effort in persecuting Ding Jiefen to make her renounce Falun Dafa, deceived and threatened her into going to the Hubei Brainwashing Center in the latter part of November.

Fushun City Guanai officially renamed the "Caring and Affectionate" School but was formerly known as the Fushun City Legal System Training Center, which is actually the Liaoning Province Brainwashing Center situated at Luotaizhuang in Fushun City. The principal is the secretary of the Political and Judiciary Committee of Liaoning Province; the assistance principal is Ding Shaojie, the secretary of the Fushun Political and Judiciary Committee. The person responsible for brainwashing at this center is a female police officer by the surname of Di. She is from the Fushun Political and Judiciary Committee. Assisting her in the brainwashing is Wu Wei, who is also directly involved in the brainwashing. They are both arrogant and aggressive. The telephone number of the brainwashing center is 86-413-4406688.

Atrocities committed by an oppressive official who served two terms at Taoxu town, Yimengshan Region: the original secretary of Taoxu town, Jiang Yongjian, gave orders to beat any practitioner to death if that practitioner does not cease the practice of Falun Dafa, and to fire any practitioner from their places of employment. Thereafter, the practitioners experience a round of new suffering at the hands of the police. The personnel of every department, vehicles, and public security personnel were used and took part in the activity and many people fell victim to the beatings. On one occasion, the amount of money extorted from practitioners totaled more than seven hundred thousand yuan. After the present secretary, Liu Zhimin, took office, the first topic discussed at the first meeting held was the question of how to persecute Falun Dafa. After this meeting, arrests, home searches, fines, brainwashing, severe beatings and various savage acts of torture were imposed on Falun Dafa practitioners. There were eleven persons from the town who were illegally sent to forced labor camp and sentenced to detention.

Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Qianqian from Shangzhi City, Heilongjiang Province was detained at the Wanjia forced labor camp for a year because she steadfastly practiced the Falun Dafa exercises and clarified the facts. In 2002, she was again arrested and secretly sentenced to three years imprisonment. At present, she is detained at the Heilongjiang Women's Prison and continues to be persecuted.

Since Zhou Jian assumed the position as director of the police station at Liangjiashan town, Shulan City, he went all out in the persecution of Dafa practitioners. In March 2003, accompanied by others, he illegally went to search the home of Dafa practitioner Zhang Zhanguang for Falun Dafa books and materials. Later, Zhang Zhanguang was forcibly detained at the town police station, and they extorted five hundred yuan from him. In September 2003, the director was again accompanied by others to arrest Yan Lingyu and illegally sent her to a forced labor camp. She was found to be of ill health and was rejected by the forced labor camp. Her family members had to pay three thousand yuan in order to secure her release from the police station. In 2001, Zhou Jian led others to the home of Dafa practitioner Chen Guangdong to illegally search his home and detained him at the police station. Zhou Guangdong was released only after the family members paid a sum of five thousand yuan to the police.

Xiao Huiqing, a teacher at the Jianyang Primary School, Sichuan Province, distributed a large card clarifying the facts. Some parents who did not understand the truth of the persecution reported her. On November 28, 2003, she was kidnapped by the combined effort of the officials and responsible persons of the Jianyang City Culture and Education Department, Jiajia Region Police, and Jiajia town Primary School. She is presently detained at the Jianyang police station. On December 8, 2003, Jianyang Dafa practitioner Liu Ruiqiong was arrested from her home. Her husband, also a Dafa practitioner, died as a result of the persecution this year. Dafa practitioner Wu Deqing was the secretary of the Liangshui Brigade, Jianyang City and the principal of the Liangshui Primary School. He is widely known by his neighbors to be a good person but has been illegally detained at the Jianyang City police station for some time. He is still being detained there.

The corrupt police of the Anjiazhuang police station in Wuchang City, Heilongjiang Province, led by the Director Zheng Jian, have continually followed the policies of the Jiang regime. They have been acting in tandem with the City Security Bureau and the "610 Office" to arrest Dafa practitioners on numerous occasions, so that they could be blackmailed for money or forced to write letters giving up Falun Gong. Those who did not comply were kidnapped to detention centers, police stations and the 610 Office for brainwashing and long term persecution. Since 2002, when Sun Shuwen was appointed as the Director of the Lalin town Branch Office of the Public Security Bureau, Wuchang City, he frantically persecuted Dafa practitioners. Together with the Deputy Director Hao Guofu and policemen Li Hongyu, Zhang Jingbo, and Ji Liguo, he went to harass Dafa practitioners at their homes, to force them to abandon their belief so that they could achieve their aim of extorting money from the practitioners.

Karmic Retribution of an Officer Involved in the Persecution

The former Assistant Secretary, Zhu Fuqing, of the Party Committee at Liangjiashan town, Shulan City, was the main perpetrator responsible for the persecution of Dafa practitioners in that town. In 2001 he was transferred to Lianhua town, but in a short while he lost his job. In 2003, Zhu Fuqing was stricken with extravasated blood in his brain and he became incontinent. He spent much money for surgery.

The former Director Zhao of the police station had severely assaulted Dafa practitioners while they were practicing the exercises on numerous occasions. He instructed the prison doctor to administer toxic drugs to Dafa practitioners. He directed the prison police to force-feed Dafa practitioners with a highly concentrated salt solution. He has now lost his job.

A policeman named Ma Chuanzhi of the Baiqi police station, Shulan City, frequently went with his colleagues to arrest Dafa practitioners and ransack their homes. On more than one occasion, he fell while riding his motorcycle, suffering injuries in the process.
