[Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province] "610 Office" Forces Jiamusi Zidi School to Intensify Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners

The "610 Office" intends to establish a branch in Heilongjiang Province.

He reprimanded them for not working hard on the Falun Gong issue. He asked, "Are you able to detain [Falun Gong practitioners]? If not, leave them to us!" He also ordered that Falun Gong practitioners, no matter whether they are still in service or retired, as long as they are still practicing Falun Gong, to write the so-called "statements of guarantee" not to practice Falun Gong any more. Otherwise, they are dismissed from their jobs or cut off from receiving their retirement pensions, and sent to the Jiansanjiang Brainwashing Class to be forcibly "transformed." What's more, one leader from each unit has to accompany the practitioners at the brainwashing class. He claimed that the, "the transformation goal should be totally reached" by the end of the year.

[Fuzhou City, Fujian Province] Practitioners' Righteous Thoughts Disrupt an Evil Trial

Ms. Wang Donglin, a 39-year-old practitioner from Fuzhou City, graduated from Fuzhou University and was an engineer working at the Fujian Tea Import & Export Company. In March 2003, she was illegally arrested by security guards Wu Youkai and Yan Mengchun outside the library of Fuzhou University. She was detained at the Fuzhou No.1 Detention Center for seven months. In October, she was unlawfully put on trial at the Criminal Hall of Gulou Court, Fuzhou City. At court, over twenty Falun Dafa practitioners were present and eliminated the evil by sending forth righteous thoughts. Before the trial, the main judge suddenly did not feel good, which delayed the trial for half an hour. Also, while the trial was going on, Wang Donglin did not acknowledge any false evidence provided by the authorities, and the prosecutor only read the false evidence intermittently. Perhaps she also felt that those pieces of evidence were not valid. When it was the defense's turn to speak, Wang Donglin tried to explain the facts of Falun Dafa. The main judge did not allow her and tried to take away her written speech. Practitioners present protested together against the main judge. Wang Donglin was able to finish her speech. Eventually, the illegal trial ended hastily and in vain.

[Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] "610 Office" in Jinjiang District Tricks Falun Dafa Practitioners into Brainwashing Center

1. Through the community committee, Dafa practitioners are asked to pick up their pay check or to have a talk at the community office. As soon as practitioners arrive at the office, the "610 Office" authorities immediately arrest practitioners and force them to be subjected to a brainwashing session, where about eight people brainwash practitioners each day in order to have them give up cultivation practice.

2. At the same time, the "610 Office" authorities cuts off the telephone line and other communication channels at the practitioners' home, and then conducts an illegal search for Dafa books and materials. They lie to others, saying that they are doing it with the practitioners' permission.

3. They write the so-called "four statements of guarantee" [to give up Falun Dafa] in the name of Dafa practitioners, especially the elderly and illiterate practitioners. Then they claim that practitioners wrote the statements willingly. In this way, they use these fabricated statements to obtain promotions and awards from their superiors and deceive people ["610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and other political and judiciary systems].

When local practitioners got the news, they resisted the evil with righteous thoughts and almost were successful in stopping the brainwashing class. However, some practitioners were arrested and sent to the brainwashing center because of insufficient righteous thoughts. As a result, they became the focus of persecution.

[Tai'an City, Shandong Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners from the No. 2 High School Are Persecuted

Since April 25, 1999, the No. 2 High School officials in Taian City have been putting pressure on Falun Gong practitioners, and closely following the directives against Falun Gong issued by Jiang's Regime. The officials defame Falun Dafa, stir up hatred and poison teachers and students in the school. Especially Zhang Dequan, the Party Secretary, and Sun Zhigang, have been openly slandering Falun Dafa at meetings since they began their positions in December of 1999. They arranged for practitioners' colleagues, neighbors and gatekeepers to monitor, follow and report on practitioners. Practitioners' personal freedom and freedom of speech have been totally trampled. They also put pressure on practitioners' family members and force practitioners' family members to cooperate with the persecution. Some practitioners' spouses were forced to get divorced. Together with the local "610 Office" and public security bureau, they illegally searched practitioners' homes, detained practitioners in brainwashing classes and forced them to go to labor camps. When it comes to work, superficially they do not sign contracts with practitioners, but actually force practitioners to do an excessive amount of work. For instance, normally a teacher teaches one or two classes; however, they arrange practitioners to teach three classes. Or they do not give practitioners normal teaching positions, even though they are significantly understaffed. Instead, they force practitioners to work as janitors or even totally deprive them of their right to work. They illegally deprive practitioners of salaries and all benefits. Some practitioners haven't received any living expenses over the past four years. They often disrupt practitioners' normal lives by interrogating practitioners or asking them to write statements guaranteeing that they will stop practicing Falun Dafa.
