In addition, practitioners in Guan County, Shandong Province wrote: “Since January this year, more than a dozen practitioners in our county have been arrested and detained. Several hundred practitioners have been subjected to a new round of police harassment, including being forced to sign a statement renouncing Falun Dafa, and having their homes searched for Falun Dafa-related materials. No matter how rampant the evil is, we disciples' steadfast faith in Dafa cultivation has never wavered.”

Practitioners incarcerated in Weinan Prison in Shaanxi Province wrote: “Even if we are imprisoned, we believe in Master and Dafa. We will play a main role no matter what circumstances we are in. We will try our best to help the people we meet to learn about Dafa and the persecution. We won't betray Master's compassionate and arduous salvation!”
