According to reliable sources in Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province, on the night of April 20, 2002, within Hegang City, a Falun Dafa truth-clarifying video was broadcast for 45 minutes on the cable TV network. After the broadcast, police relentlessly arrested Dafa practitioners. In a few days, in such a small city as Hegang, 32 Dafa practitioners were illegally sent to forced labour camps.
According to people close to the Jiamusi City's Police Department, during the large-scale raid in April, hundreds of Dafa practitioners were illegally imprisoned in detention centres without proper legal proceedings. All were arrested from their homes. As long as they said that they would continue practicing Falun Gong, they would be arrested.
Among these Dafa practitioners, 100 were illegally sent to forced labour camps, as were another 100 Dafa practitioners from surrounding counties. Jiamusi City's Forced Labour Camp is already full. Although new buildings were built last year, it still could not keep so many people in detention.
As a result, a lot of Dafa practitioners in the camp have been transferred to Xianglan and other places for further persecution.
