[Jilin City, Jilin Province] Dafa Practitioners in Huanxiling Labor Camp Suffocate the Evil with Righteous Thoughts

At one point there were close to 200 Dafa practitioners detained at the Huanxiling Labor Camp in Jilin City. Recently however, the guards at the Huanxiling labor camp forced Dafa practitioners to attend meetings at which so-called "reformed" persons gave talks. In order to suffocate the evil and assist the Teacher in this world, Dafa practitioners resolutely resisted their attempts. Practitioners refused to attend any of the re-education classes, and went on a collective hunger strike to protest. The guards had no choice but to conclude the meeting. Dafa practitioners upheld righteous thoughts and encouraged each other and overcame one difficulty after another. The authorities at the labor camp then separated Dafa practitioners and detained them in different places, aiming to isolate them so they could not encourage each other.

At present, practitioners have been transferred to places such as Tonghua, Jiutai, and Liaoyuan, etc. Currently, those practitioners who are considered unable to be transformed are being deprived of their rights of visits from family members and subsequently have received no daily supplies.

[Shandong Province] Cao Zhenying from Shandong Social Science Institute Was Arrested in February, and Is Still On A Hunger Strike

Cao Zhenying was sentenced to work at the labor camp in March 21, for insisting on practicing Falun Dafa. She had lived and worked at the Shandong Party Social Science Institute. Cao's husband recently passed away on January 30, 2001, and in February the police came to her home and arrested her. Cao's arrest left her child, who is in elementary school, alone at home. During the illegal detention, Cao Zhenying unceasingly went on hunger strikes to protest. She was then forcibly sent to Shandong Police Hospital (also known as Shandong Labor Camp Hospital-translator) to be force-fed. We hope that all kindhearted people can pay attention to this matter.

[Fushun, Liaoning Province] Exposing the Evil Nature of the Wujiabaozi Labor Camp

There are about 400 Dafa practitioners detained in the Wujiabaozi labor camp, of which over 300 are female. Guards in this labor camp have tortured practitioners both physically and mentally. As soon as practitioners were sent into the camp, the guards would physically abuse practitioners. Sometimes a group of guards would beat the practitioners' frantically, and use electric batons. They called this torture "Assisting & Teaching." After being sent to a cell, practitioners would be beaten up again by those so-called "reformed" persons, under the name of "stick warning." After that, practitioners were forced to study "denouncement" materials and then were forced to write something similar. Those who refused to write such materials would be tortured more viciously than before.

A college student was not transformed for several months. In the end, this student was "transformed" after being tortured and soaked in lies for a long period of time. The leader of the labor camp wanted to report his transformation to a higher authority, and organized a special interview. The leader said the student's transformation was so difficult. The authorities in the labor camp also tried to seduce practitioners to denounce Falun Gong, and claimed that whoever denounced Falun Gong would be released earlier. However, many practitioners would rather be detained longer than renounce their faith. No matter how many Falun Gong practitioners are being "reformed" by brutality and coercion, it can only lead to one result: more and more people distrusting the regime, and less and less people believing the propaganda of the hypocritical regime. It is true that "Coercion Cannot Change People's Hearts! " The large number of solemn statements is the best proof of this.

[Longkou City, Shandong Province] Local Government Brutally Persecute Dafa Practitioners

The local government of Longkou City brutally persecuted Dafa practitioners and forced practitioners to write "guarantee statements." They imposed fines of 3,000-5,000 Yuan (about 6-10 months salary in urban areas- translator's note) on those who went to Beijing to appeal. They detained Dafa practitioners for a long period of time without just cause and extorted their money. Recently, they set up a six-month "transformation class" and extorted 1,000 Yuan from each practitioner monthly.

To avoid being arrested, Dafa practitioner Chen Fengjun fled home in September 2000, and has not yet returned.

Dafa practitioners Lu Renjuan and Lu Yanna fled their homes to avoid being persecuted. The government offered a reward of 70,000 Yuan for the capture of each person. Dafa practitioner Lu Renjuan's son, Liang Bing, fled home in February 2001 and has only just returned . The Police arrested Lu Renjuan's sister, Lu Renying, and she is still detained in jail after 20 days.

Don't bother her so frequently at home. 3. Don't impose fines on her. After October 2000, the police arrested her once again and took her to the Township Government. She was then transferred to the County detention center, where she was detained for five months. She was released after her daughter paid a fine (the amount is unknown-translator). After her release, her home was ransacked three times by the police, and each time there were over 10 policemen participating in the ransacking.

[Lanzhou City, Gansu Province] Expose Vicious Policeman Han Ming

Han Ming is the primary criminal who is in charge of persecuting Falun Gong in the Lanzhou Police Station, Anling Branch. He looks gentle, but is actually vicious in his heart. Almost all the practitioners arrested, detained, sent to labor camps, sentenced to jail, or forced to flee home in Anling District, have been persecuted by Han Ming. Last May, he directed and was responsible for the death of our fellow practitioner, Yao Baorong . No wonder that his vile name is on the list of those people who were rewarded with a "Crackdown Merit" granted by the governments of the Province and the City.
