1. [Harbin, Heilongjiang Province] More than 40 Falun Dafa Practitioners Hunger Strike for Unconditional Release from the Changlinzi Labor Camp
Sources say that over 40 Falun Dafa practitioners have been on hunger strike since July 3, 2001, in protest of extended detention terms. In a prior hunger strike, jail officers agreed to release on the condition of practitioners ending the strike. However, when the hunger strike ended, the officers reneged on their promise. In response, practitioners re-started the hunger strike. As of July 24, there have been two force-feedings. The strikers lay still on their beds virtually all day long. Their lives are in danger.
2. [Pinggu County, Beijing] The Cruelty of the Police: "Another death is no matter" "You will be a nameless corpse if you die"
I went to Beijing to validate Dafa on June 30. Just because I said, "Falun Dafa is good! Restore the reputation of our Teacher! ...," the police arrested me. Since I did not violate the law, I refused to tell my name and address. I was sent to Pinggu Criminal Team in the evening and soon began a huger strike in protest of the illegal detention. On the afternoon of July 3, two persons, one male and another female, entered my cell. The policeman on duty told me that the man was the director of the Public Security Bureau. The director spoke, "If you do not report your name and address, we will not release you even if you die from hunger. There have been so many who died here; it is nothing to have another death." The woman said, "You will be a nameless corpse if you die and we'll just throw your body in the mountains. You want this?" I shook my head and said, "I am not afraid." The woman cursed and left.
3. [Macheng, Hubei Province] A female Nurse Sent to Mental Hospital
A 48-year-old female nurse, Dong Shuzhen, was detained in April when she attempted to withdraw money from her bank account. Police accused her of planning to go to Beijing to appeal and sent her to a mental hospital. Not being able to bear the thought of her torture, Dong's brother wrote a "letter of guarantee" on her behalf in exchange for her release. On May 28, Dong declared in writing that her brother's letter was invalid, as she had not written it. The local Party Secretary sent her to the mental hospital a second time. She refused to cooperate. Local Security Office Director, Zhao Macheng and several other men beat her and dragged her to the mental hospital, where they continued to savagely beat her.

4. [Wuhan, Hubei Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Kidnapped by Police; Possibly Killed
Female Falun Dafa practitioner Chen Jingchun started practicing Falun Dafa in April 1999. Because she persisted in her practice after the crackdown, she was wanted by the Wuhan Public Security Bureau, Section One. She had to leave her home to go into hiding. The Bureau often dispatched police cars to patrol by her house. The police and street committee men often inquired about her whereabouts, to the point of disrupting her neighborhood.
One day, policemen visited Chen's mother and identified themselves as the teachers of Chen's child. They entered the house and searched everywhere. Finally they showed their Public Security badges and told her mother that Chen had jumped from a building and had multiple bone fractures. Police arrested her in a supermarket and sent her to a police hospital for treatment. Chen's mother inquired at the police hospital and then other big hospitals for her daughter's condition but found no answers. She requested help in inquiring after the situation and eventually heard that an internal Public Security Bureau notice stated that Chen had died on April 30. At the time of this writing, Chen's death has not been confirmed. Chen's mother is often followed and her telephone is being monitored.

All people who ever practiced Falun Gong are to be reinvestigated. Anyone not clearly "reformed" is to be sent to a brainwashing class.

8. [Herbin, Heilongjiang Province] Practitioner Yang Tian Under House Confinement after Brainwashing Class
According to an insider, on March 9, 2001, Falun Gong practitioner Yang Tian, an employee of the East-Asia Airline of the Civil Aviation Bureau of Heilongjiang Province, was told by her supervisor that she would be sent to a rehabilitation center. Yang Tian firmly refused. However, her supervisor had four people transport her by force to the Herbin City Rehabilitation Center. The general secretary of the Airline said, "I think you are transformable. I would spend 100,000 RMB Yuan (about US $12,000) to transform you..."
From March 9th to June 27th, Yang Tian was illegally detained. However, Yang refused to renounce her beliefs. After suffering from severe mental torture, she was released unconditionally. The authorities of the brainwashing class told the Civil Aviation Bureau to take her back. However, after she came back, her employer wouldn't allow her to go home. He put her under house confinement and forced her to write a resignation letter. If she refused, the Civil Aviation Bureau would send her to a re-education labor camp. Yang is still under house confinement.

9. [Shandong Province] Police Who Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners Receive Retribution
According to Haikou Evening Paper of July 19, the Government of Shandong Province will investigate the crimes committed by police in prisons and re-education camps, such as corruption, extension of detention terms, and illegally releasing prisoners using medical treatment with bail as an excuse, etc.
The police of Shandong Province are extremely immoral and have done monstrous crimes in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. This investigation will be likely to bring retribution to those policemen who have done so many evil deeds, because of the heavenly principles of karmic retribution.
