[Shanghai]

Xu Weifen, female, formerly a full time student of Tongji University, was forcibly suspended from school in the year 2000. Around July 20, 2000, security officers searched her dormitory and found Falun Gong materials. She was thus detained in Yangpu District Detention Centre for over a month. In September 2000, she was illegally sent to a labour camp where she protested against these illegal acts through a hunger strike. One month later, she was sent home. Nevertheless, within one month of her being sent home she was arrested again and further details are not available.

Huang Bei, female, fulltime student of Tongji University, had been held in custody within the university after being taken back from Beijing in July 1999. The university security division illegally sent her to a labour camp on a 3-year term in June 2000 as she distributed truth-clarifying floppy discs to faculty members of the university.

Deng Zhihui, male, enrolled in an MS degree programme at Tongji University. He was forcibly suspended from school during the school year of 1999-2000. Teachers of his department spotted him when he went back to his dormitory to retrieve his personal belongings in January 2001. He was forcibly thrown into the university lodging facility and placed under house arrest. Two days later, he escaped. In May 2001, he was arrested together with Chu, a Tongji graduate with a bachelor's degree, and sentenced illegally to forced labour "reeducation."

Li Rongqing, male, enrolled in an MS degree programme in Tongji University, was forcibly suspended from school during the school year of 1999-2000, and was persecuted repeatedly after that. Currently his whereabouts are not clear.

Lin Li, a female, is a part-time student of Shanghai Foreign Language University. Three teachers in the university informed the police on her when she distributed truth-clarifying materials to faculty members in the university in December 2000. One night after 11pm in December 2000, these same three teachers lured her out of her home. Police officers in Yangpu district illegally sentenced her to 1 year in labour camp due to the testimony against her by these teachers.

Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Peng's sentence was illegally extended for six months over his original term for passing around new articles from the founder of Falun Gong, Mr Li Hongzhi.
