1. [Handan City, Hebei Province] Many Dafa Practitioners Arrested After the Local TV Interception Event
During the past days, many Dafa practitioners in Handan City were arrested. The arrests are still occurring. Police officers want to find those practitioners who broadcast documentary videos on TV, made Dafa truth-clarifying materials, and accessed the Dafa websites. Methods used by police officers include secretly arresting Dafa practitioners at night, then hiding at their homes to arrest other practitioners who go there. Some practitioners who were delivering materials have been arrested, but others that do not know still go to their homes for materials, and are arrested. Even the family members of the practitioners do not know where the arrested Dafa practitioners are at the moment.
2. [Huaihua City, Hunan Province] Two Dafa Practitioners Sent to Forced Labor Camps

Not long after being sent to the Huaihua City Public Security Bureau they were sent to the Baimalong Forced Labor Camp. In December 2003, when they were delivering Dafa truth materials in Maotian Village, Zhongfang Township, they were reported to police by the village communist party secretary and detained at the Zhongfang County Public Security Bureau for one day.

4. [Jinan City, Shandong Province] Dafa Practitioner Peng Guixiang is on an Extended Hunger Strike
In March 2003 Ms. Peng Guixiang from Jinan City was sent to the Shandong First Women's Forced Labor Camp. In November 2003 Peng started a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Her family has not heard from her in over five months. Peng's family has mailed four letters and sent clothing once to her but hasn't heard any response from the labor camp.
Right before the 2004 Chinese New Year, Peng's son got a phone call from the labor camp saying Peng had been on a hunger strike for a long time and had heart problems. They asked the son to send money for medical treatment. After the Chinese New Year, Peng's son went to the forced labor camp to visit his mother, but the camp didn't let him see her. He talked with the camp head, but the camp head was rude, saying the camp would not be responsible for any consequences caused by his mother's hunger strike.
Peng's son talked with heads Sun and Duan (female) of the second brigade (Tel. 86-531-8555040, Ext. 8032) asking if he could bring money and take his mother for medical treatment while accompanied by them, but was denied. Peng Guixiang is still on a hunger strike. It's unknown if she is still alive.

During the 2003 Chinese New Year period he was arrested again and tortured to the point of being disabled.

8. [Gulan County, Sichuan Province] Dafa Practitioner Hu Biao Is Illegally Detained
Hu Biao is a Dafa practitioner from Gulan County, Luzhou District. Since the persecution of Dafa started in July 1999, he has been subjected to brainwashing four times, illegally detained six times, sent to a forced labor camp twice, and had all salaries and benefits suspended for over three years.
After Hu Biao went back to work, the County Human Resources Bureau lowered his salary almost 500 Yuan in March 2003.
On May 25, 2003 Xiong Yongsong, the head of the Taiping Police Station, tortured and interrogated Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Chengfen to coerce her to say that Hu Biao has given her new Dafa articles. Xiong searched Hu Biao's home twice and reported the issue to police officer Zou Qiang at the National Security Brigade. The two searches of A Feng's home followed no legal procedures, but police officers detained Hu Biao for over 80 days. Wang Chengfen and Hu Biao have appealed to the county, city, and provincial level officers and legal divisions to expose the persecution in order to wake up people's conscience and protect the freedom of belief and personal security.

9. [China] Detention Center Police Officers Swindle Money by Threatening to Send Dafa Practitioners to Forced Labor Camps
My wife and I are both middle school teachers. Since we are Falun Gong practitioners, local police officers detained us during the 2002 Chinese Communist Party's National Congress period.
During the detention period, one man in plain clothes went to my elder sister's home and said, "Officers at the detention center asked me to ask you to pay for the release of your younger brother and sister-in-law, otherwise they will all be sent to forced labor camps." Afraid of us being sent to forced labor camp, my sister gave that person over ten thousand yuan. That person took the money and gave no response. My wife was still sent to forced labor camp.
