1. [Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] The Police in Daqing City Arrest Sheng Xiaoyun, Dai Yi and Other Falun Dafa Practitioners, Brutally Killing a Young Female Practitioner from Out of Town

As the 16th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party draws near, the police in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, have launched a new round of persecution of Falun Dafa and its practitioners. On the night of September 5th, practitioners Sheng Xiaoyun and her husband Dai Yi were illegally taken away from their home in Chengfengzhuang, Daqing City. It is not known where they are being held in custody. Several other practitioners whose homes were under surveillance yesterday cannot be contacted. As for practitioners who have abandoned their residences to escape persecution, the police are checking their hometowns and the hometowns of their spouses.

Also, according to internal sources, a female practitioner of about 20 from outside the area was tortured to death by the Daqing City police in late August. The murderers have secretly disposed of the corpse for fear of being exposed. We are still searching for the name and other information about the deceased practitioner.

2. [Nanyang City, Henan Province] 70-Year Old Li Yuhua Is Illegally Sentenced to Three Years in Prison

On the evening of January 18, 2001, just prior to the Chinese New Year, Falun Dafa practitioner Li Yuhua, an elderly lady from Nanyang City, Henan Province, was arrested by police in the Wancheng District. After a year and a half of detention, she was then illegally sentenced to three years in prison for refusing to give up her personal beliefs. She has already been sent to the Xinxiang Forced Labor Camp.

The elderly Li Yuhua had been sickly for many years. After practicing Falun Dafa, her health was restored. Since July 20, 1999, she has been illegally detained and her home ransacked numerous times. During the illegal detentions, which spanned an entire year, she was tortured to such an extent that she lost all of her teeth and her hair, which had returned to its original black from white as she practiced Falun Dafa. She had to work daily until 2:00 am to complete all of the heavy labor she was required to do.

Three generations in her home, including her mother and daughter, have all practiced Falun Dafa. Her eldest daughter has been forced to leave home to avoid harassment. We hereby appeal to all kind people worldwide to extend your hearts and support to help stop this evil persecution that is taking place in China.

3. [Tianshui City, Gansu Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Dong Peilan Arrested, Her Husband Forced to Leave Home, Their Young Children Left on Their Own

In January 2000, female Falun Dafa practitioner Dong Peilan from Tianshui City, Gansu Province, was illegally sent to the No.1 Gansu Provincial Forced Labor Camp for one year of forced labor. After her release, she was once again taken away from a store on August 25th of this year. She has not been heard from for quite some time. Her husband Zhao Lanzhou was forced to stay away from home for almost a year and has not been heard from at all. Their three young girls, unable to care for themselves, have been left at home alone with no one to rely on.

The three girls went to the Tianshui Police Department for several days in a row, crying to have their mother back. The police teased them with false promises but did not set their mother free. The eldest girl, who is only 13, could no longer take the sadness at home, so she walked away and has been gone for days. People are worried about her. The remaining 10- and 8-year-old girls are having a hard time at home.

4. [Jiutai City, Jilin Province] The "610 Office" and Police Department Arrest Falun Dafa Practitioners and Send Them to Brainwashing Classes

The "610 Office" has also notified police stations across the city that each station has to meet an arrest quota of at least two Falun Dafa practitioners.

5. [Fusong County, Jilin Province] Beigang Town Police Illegally Arrest Falun Dafa Practitioner Song Weixiang and Search Her Home without a Warrant

At noon on November 15, 2001, Chief of the Beigang Town Police Station Du Huanli led several policemen on a raid of female practitioner Song Weixiang's home. At the time, only two children were at home. Without a legal document and not following any legal procedures, the policemen conducted an illegal search of Song Weixiang's home. They toppled cabinets and threw things out of drawers. The two children were screaming with fear. The police did not find anything suspicious, but early the next morning they broke into Song's home again and illegally took her away.

Several days prior to Song's arrest, several practitioners who had been distributing Falun Gong materials were arrested. They included a married couple Zhang Xiushan and Li Zhengfang, Li Xiaowen, and a female teacher from Lushui River Meng Qingling. They have all been held in custody at the Fusong County Detention Center. The police department has tried to hand these practitioners over to the local court for further persecution. Because there is not enough evidence, however, the court has refused to take over the cases. So far the practitioners have been illegally detained for over ten months.

In July 2001, 610 office staff asked her whether she wanted to continue to practice Dafa, she replied she would. She was then arrested by the 610 office and sent to Guangzhou Huangpu drug addiction therapy center brainwashing class and suffered many kinds of torture.

Ms Hu Yingxia went to Beijing to appeal in September 1999. She was forced to resign from the company. In November 1999 she went to Beijing to appeal again and was detained for 15 days. In March 2000 during the "two conference" period, 610 personal asked her whether she still wanted to go to Beijing to appeal. She replied yes. Therefore she was detained in a detention center for 15 days. In May 2000 she went to Beijing again and was detained for another 15 days.

13. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Jiang'an 610 Office Tramples On The Freedom of Belief

The 610 Office in Jiang'an area, Wuhan city arrested Falun Gong practitioners and sent them to brainwashing classes by force. They use violence to persecute steadfast practitioners. They punish them by making them stand for 24 hours a day and forbidding them to go to a washroom. They set up illegal jails.

14. [Beijing] Practitioners Please Beware of The Secret Activity Of The 610 Office

We alert the practitioners in Beijing and its suburbs at this time, to beware of the action of 610 personnel. After the Chaoyang and Tongzhou Daying brainwashing classes were disbanded, the 610 office turned to a more secret means of persecuting Dafa and Dafa practitioners.

They wear plain clothes, drive unmarked cars, follow and monitor "important" persons and the places where "important persons" go frequently, such as their homes, stores, and markets. They have examined and arrested practitioners. They dispatch a person unfamiliar to the local people to detect and watch. The rest stay in the cars. Once they find a practitioner, that person appears in front of him suddenly and blocks his way, examines him and calls the company hidden in the car on a cell phone. When they find practitioners with truth clarifying materials they arrest them.

The above are from personal experience. We hope fellow practitioners will pay attention.
