Since July 22, 1999, the security department of Wanzhou district of Chongqing City has followed Jiang Zemin's orders. They ignored the facts that Falun Dafa uplifts the moral standard of practitioners, sublimates the spirit, and benefits both the country and its people. They have repressed Falun Dafa practitioners for no reason. They have used various measures to persuade practitioners give up their belief in Falun Dafa. These measures include: arrest, beating, detention, forcing attendance at "transformation" classes, assessing huge fines, residential surveillance, tapping phones, and even sentences to labor camps, etc. The following documents some of the cases of persecution against Dafa practitioners.

10. Tan Fenghao, female, 26 years old, is a high school teacher. She was detained for one month for copying and distributing Dafa materials in July 2000.

At present, the freedom of Dafa practitioners in Wanzhou District is being severely violated. They are facing dangers such as being sequestered, summoned to court, and detained at any time. Their family members have also been scared, and are enduring heavy pressure. For example, a peasant from Jiuchi Village was detained for practicing in an open square. Because he was the main bread-earner at home, policemen soon released him but detained his wife instead for 15 days.
