• Recently Learned Facts of Persecution at Baoding Forced Labour Camp in Hebei Province

  2007-04-12
  There was an incident in 2005, where the labour camp was confronting an "important investigation." Guards said that to deal with the investigation would take lots of money. But the labour camp was short of money at the time. In order to solve the problem, they took 200,000 yuan from the "persecuting Falun Gong fund." We have no idea how much this fund really has, but certainly it wouldn't be a small amount. Guards were heard saying that the 610 Office had a special fund for the "persecuting Falun Gong team," but the fund assigned to slave-labour production was comparatively much smaller, only ten thousand yuan in 2004 for a company detaining more than 50 practitioners. This means that guards could torture practitioners as much as they'd like without worrying about hurting them so much that the quota for slave-labour production could not be met.

• Letter from a 15-Year-Old Girl to a Policeman -- To He Yu, Head of the National Security Team in the Liaohe Oil Field

  2007-04-12
  This year I lost the chance to reunite with my family and enjoy Chinese New Year. My mother Cao Chunyan was arrested while she was working one month ago and is now detained in Xinglongtai Detention Centre. We are not in a mood for celebrating the New Year, and we worry about the safety of my mother every day and every night. On Chinese New Year's Eve, my grandfather and grandmother were in despair and their eyes were filled with tears. My father was anxious and silent. My younger sister, who is seven years old, and I held each other and cried. We missed our mother so much and no one was in the mood to eat. I fell asleep as I cried, and I dreamed that my mother was beaten by police with a baton. I was so scared that I cried.

• The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Persecutes Falun Gong by Restraining Practitioners from Leaving China

  2007-04-12
  The new passport law of the People's Republic of China (abbreviated as the passport law) was signed by Chinese President Hu Jintao and became effective in January 2007. Most people would think that the new passport law would loosen the control on Chinese people entering and leaving the country, but I found out that it is not this simple. A friend of mine submitted an application for a new passport and was given the following list of "Supplementary Documents required for Personal Travel Abroad" by the Port of Entry Authority of Hengshi City in Hebei Province. It is clearly written on the list that the applicant's local police station must submit documents showing that the applicant is not a Falun Gong practitioner.

• Belated News: Non-Practitioner Mr. Li Weiji Sentenced to Eight Years in Prison for Helping to Rescue Persecuted Falun Dafa Practitioners

  2007-04-11
  I met Li Weiji in late August 2002 in China. He told me that his sister, Li Weixun, was severely persecuted for practising Falun Gong. He decided to return to China and rescue Dafa practitioners who, like his sister, were being persecuted. With help from two other practitioners, Li Weiji collected persecution evidence. He took me and another practitioner (whose lower spine was broken from a police beating) to the home of his wife's sister so we could write our persecution experiences. I was truly moved by his sacrificing everything in an effort to rescue practitioners. His wife's sister and her husband were later persecuted for keeping us at their home. I heard that Li Weiji was injured in a beating and was sentenced to eight years in prison.

• Liangshanzhou National Security Bureau Agents (Sichuan Province) Carry Out the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) Persecution from Behind the Scenes

  2007-04-11
  Officials from the Liangshanzhou National Security Bureau (NSB) posted several propaganda pictures in Yuecheng Square, Xichang City, Sichuan Province around March 18th, 2007. The posters advocate so-called national security laws. They included some slanderous content against Falun Gong such as falsely claiming that Falun Gong practitioners receive funding and equipment from foreign governments, and they claimed practitioners are monitoring the police through mobile phones and landlines.
