As of November 5th, Wang Yan has been on a hunger strike for 200 days; Li Yueran had started to eat on the fifth day. In the middle of June, Wang Yan managed to escape, but got caught at Longyao County's Bus Station and was taken back.

4. [Bin County, Heilongjiang Province] Atrocities in Ningyuan Town's Middle School

Mr. Zhang Qizhuang and Ms. Fu Yanxia from Ningyuan Town, Bin County, Heilongjiang Province, are Ningyuan Town's Middle School teachers. They voluntarily did daily cleaning when they arrived at the school, while clarifying the truth of Falun Gong to others. At 9:00 a.m. on November 1, 2004, while they were at work, personnel from Bin County's "610 Office" and from the National Security Section of the Police Department arrived suddenly and beat them.

These officers took two taxis and rushed to the Ningyuan Town Middle School. They went to Zhang Qizhuang first, [ordering him to accompany them]. Zhang Qizhuang refused to get into the taxi. The police gang then beat him brutally. Policemen in front pulled his hair and pushed his head down. Those in the back kicked him and stomped on him, all trying to shove him into the taxi. Zhang Qizhuang kept saying loudly the whole time, "Falun Dafa is Great." Practitioner Ms. Fu Yanxia was holding onto the door of the taxi refusing to get in. While they manhandled her, trying to pull her into the taxi, some of Fu Yanxia's clothes were pulled off. The policemen closed the door by without caring that Fu Yanxia's hands were holding onto the door. Fu Yanxia's hands were smashed and started bleeding. All the teachers and students were eye-witnesses to this atrocity in Ningyuan Town's Middle School square.

Right after this happened, the personnel from the "610 Office" and from the National Security Section drove to Ningyuan Town's Elementary School where they arrested practitioners Ms. Tang Huaxiang and Ms. Li Leixin.

Zhang Qizhuang has been held in Bin County's Prison, also called First Detention Center of Bin County. The three other women practitioners were sent to a brainwashing center in Wuchang City of Heilongjiang Province.

According to eye-witnesses, during the court proceedings, three of the seven practitioners, Lu Xia among them, were held up by others and supported; four of them were carried to the court on stretchers. They didn't even have the strength to raise their heads. A 25-year-old woman practitioner was tortured so badly that she now weighs only 80 lbs.

10. [Linyi City, Shandong Province] Arrest of Five Practitioners, Including Yang Lifen

On October 23, 2004 in Panjiahu Village, Fenghuangling Town, the Hedong District, Linyi City, arrests took place.

(Song Youfang's family bailed her out after they paid deposit in the afternoon of November 2, 2004.)

Yang Lifen firmly resisted the unlawful persecution and went on a hunger strike. When the police interrogated her with torture, attempting to get her to reveal her address, she told them that her hometown is in Northeastern China, that her only family member is her child, and that her husband divorced her because of the persecution, so she has no home.

On the morning of November 1, 2004, police from Linqu County ganged up with personnel from Wolong Town's Police Station and arrested practitioner Zhang Yonglu (teacher) from Wolong Town's No. 3 Professional High School. They ransacked Zhang Yonglu's home and confiscated many truth-clarifying materials and documents that exposed the evil deeds of local policemen. They stated that they came to arrest him because they found Zhang Yonglu exposing specific information and posting it online. Zhang Yonglu's family members didn't cooperate and clarified the truth to them, but the policemen didn't listen and insisted to take Zhang Yonglu away with them. Moreover, they demanded for 200 Yuan cash and told Zhang Yonglu to take a blanket and go with them. Zhang's family refused to give them the money. Police therefore went to the school to ask for money. They took Zhang Yonglu away.

Recently, three practitioners from Linqu County were consecutively arrested.

13. [Laizhou City, Shandong Province] The Persecution Account of Song Qingxian's Family

In the middle of October 2004, with a unified arrangement by Laizhou City's Education Committee, the Guojiadian Middle School's authorities forced all the teachers and students to sign the so-called "Guarantee Statement," promising not to practice Falun Gong. The school's principal suspended Mr. Song Qingxian, a teacher in charge of a class and also the physical education teacher. Principal Song Guoyu relieved the teacher of his duty merely because he refused to sign such an agreement. His salary is suspended as well. Song Qingxian did not acknowledge the senseless persecution, and kept going to the class. Principal Song Guoyu then had someone move Song Qingxian's desk away and drove him back home and threatened that he would not let Song into the gate if he came back again.

On November 2, Song Qingxian and his wife Ye Guofeng (also a practitioner) went to clarify the truth to Principal Song Guoyu, and asked him to provide a written document, stating why he was suspended from his duties. Song Guoyu dared not to write the statement and walked away, making excuses.

After Song Qingxian and Ye Guofeng went back home, five policemen from Laizhou City broke in and attempted to arrest Ye Guofeng, but she managed to walk away with the power of righteous thoughts. They ransacked the home and arrested Song Qingxian and his son and put them into Laizhou City's Detention Center. Ye Guofeng is now living in exile. A happily family was thus torn apart.
