Please Show Concern for Dafa Practitioners Illegally Detained in Beijing's Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp!

During the current "sensitive" period while the "Two Meetings" [the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference] are going on, the evildoers once again are relentlessly persecuting Dafa practitioners. The "610 office" ["610 Office" is a bureau specifically created by the Chinese government to persecute Falun Gong. It has absolute power over each level of administration in the Party, as well as over the political and judiciary branches] officials and local police officers forced some Dafa practitioners in Beijing from their homes into brainwashing centres.

The places where the evil authorities illegally detain Dafa practitioners, such as the brainwashing centres, jails in the districts and counties of Beijing, the Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp, and the Tiantanghe Women's Forced Labour Camp (Formerly known as Xinan Forced Labour Camp) will be our focus appeals until all the Dafa practitioners who are illegally detained can be unconditionally released.

It's known that the term of Li Xupeng who has been illegally detained at the Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp will be up on March 15, 2003. Li Xupeng was born in 1975 in Shan'xi. He graduated from the sociology department of the Renmin University of China, and later became a teacher at the Shenyang Administrative University. He was the executive director of a foreign-owned company, and his capabilities were lauded by his boss and colleagues. After he attained Dafa in 1996, he and his classmate Bai Shaohua initiated the first practice site at Renmin University of China; After July 1999, when the persecution of Falun Dafa began, the courage and resourcefulness he showed in protecting Dafa against slander by the Jiang regime encouraged many fellow Dafa practitioners. In 2001, after he was illegally arrested, he was first detained in the seventh department of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, then transferred to the notorious Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp. Because of his determination in practising Dafa, he suffered from torture and other inhumane treatments. His clear understanding of Dafa and his powerful upright mind greatly strengthened the righteous energy field, which purified the environment.

Exasperated policemen confined him to a boiler room during the hot summer, which caused him to faint several times. March 15 is the last day of his illegally imposed sentence; the evil people are trying to force him to give up Falun Gong using even crueller methods.

We hope the 'World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong' pays high attention to Li Xupeng's case.

Another fellow Dafa practitioner whose term will be up is Wang Yanfang. He is almost 30, was born at Yanqing, Beijing. He was abducted twice and brought to Tuanhe where he courageously shouted, "Falun Dafa is good" when visitors came or when the camp held meetings. Cold-hearted policemen led by Liu Jinbiao shocked him with electric batons and caused Yanfang to faint many times and he received injuries all over his body. But these horrors have never been able to force him to yield. His great deeds have moved and inspired many Dafa practitioners, and have also greatly restrained the evil authorities.

Zhen Libin's term will be up around April 16, 2003. He is 31 years old, and his home is in Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province. During the past three years, to protect Dafa and to expose the evil persecution against Dafa to people, he suffered from illegal imprisonment and electric shocks, which caused heavy injuries to his heart. His family members are very sad and concerned about his case. His mother who has suffered a lonely life was unable to bear his situation, and now is in a confused state. Zhen Liben has been practising Dafa in the camp. Right now Zhen is facing heavy pressure, and is in immediate danger.
