On January 1, 2005 she went to Yanhe Township to distribute truth-clarifying materials. Policemen from Yanhe Township arrested her and immediately took her to the county's detention center.

3. [Henan Province] Yan Xinliang Detained at the Xiping Police Precinct for Distributing Truth-Clarifying Materials

Practitioner Mr. Yan Xinliang, who is approximately 20 years old, is from Henan Province. He was detained at Xuchang City's Forced Labor Camp for three years and then released. In mid-February 2005, when he went to Xiping County to distribute truth-clarifying materials, personnel from Xiping County's Police Precinct detained him.

4. [Guang'an City, Sichuan Province] Chen Daiping and His Wife Zhang Rong Arrested for Distributing Truth-Clarifying Materials

On January 8, 2005 when Chen Daiping and his wife Zhang Rong from Fangping Village, Guang'an City, Sichuan Province, went to Hualong Village to distribute truth-clarifying materials, a group of policemen arrested the couple. Zhang Rong was beaten so brutally that she could not walk. Because the couple had three children under 10 years old at home, Zhang Rong was taken back home the second day while Chen Daiping was detained at Cell No. 4 in Guang'an City's Detention Center. On January 19, Chen Daiping's family went to see him and requested that the detention center release him, but their request was rejected. Chen Daiping's life is in peril due to brutal torture. He can not eat anything. During a medical check-up he was found to have ascites (abnormal accumulation of serous fluid).

5. [Chongqing] Lei Lichun's Life is in Peril

On June 19, 2004, a group of plainclothes policemen arrested practitioner Mr. Lei Lichun. Lei Lichun's wife, a non-practitioner, was also arrested at her workplace. The police confiscated 4,800 yuan in cash and all their personal belongings from their apartment. They dragged the couple for interrogation to a place where they keep demi-wolves. That same night they took Lei Lichun to the Pipashan Detention Center. The detention center refused to accept Lei Lichun because he was diagnosed with lung problems. Personnel were called in to take Lei Lichun back to Guang'an City.

Luo Cheng and other personnel from Guang'an City's National Security Team took Lei Lichun to the Chengbei District Police Department, put him in handcuffs and shackles, and deprived him of sleep for several days. Lei Lichun's non-practitioner wife was also sent to Guang'an City's Hua Brainwashing Class and detained there for several months. Lei Lichun's uncle was forced to write seven pages of "testimony." All the crimes he listed [against them] were completely fabricated.

Lei Lichun staged a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Later he showed symptoms of multiple diseases. The Hua Detention Center urged police to take Lei Lichun back, but Luo Cheng and others ignored the notice. Instead, they instigated Lei Lichun's wife to divorce him, claiming, "He would not make it" to Chinese New Year. Lei Lichun's parents demanded his release several times, but all in vain.

6. [Beijing] Chen Yuzhen Again Arrested

Practitioner Ms. Chen Yuzhen, 52, is from Wangjing Village, Zhoukoudian Town, Fangshan District, Beijing. She obtained the Fa in 1997 and cultivated steadily thereafter. In April 2002 he was sentenced to 18 months of forced labor. Since her release, personnel from the police station and 610 Office have been harassing her incessantly. In mid-January 2005, local police arrested Chen Yuzhen, ransacked her house, and confiscated many of the personal belongings. Right now, Chen Yuzhen is being held at the Fangshan District Detention Center.
