Ill-Gotten Gains of Bai Wenyou from Chaoyang City Police
2004-04-03
He has also taken advantage of this persecution to act in a self-serving manner under the protection of Jiang's commands. He not only ransacks practitioners' homes, but also brutally steals Falun Gong practitioners' valuables and belongings. He has also threatened practitioners' relatives and blackmailed them for hundreds of and even thousands of Yuan [Chinese currency, the average monthly salary of an urban worker in China is about 500 Yuan] with the threat of sending practitioners to forced-labour camps or prisons if he did not get the money he demanded. -

Non-Practitioner Witness: Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Li Shumin Dies As a Result of Persecution
2004-04-02The Dafa practitioners that I know are all kind and wise. I have seen the persecution against practitioners. You could say that it was brutal murder. I think there must be a lot of practitioners being detained across the country, and there must be a lot of people like me being sentenced to forced labour, jailed or detained together with Dafa practitioners, and there must be a lot of policemen or judges who have handled cases dealing with practitioners. We are all witnesses to this persecution against Dafa practitioners. No matter how the persecutors have been beautified on TV or in the newspaper, with their crimes being covered up, and no matter how they deceive with lies people who don't know the facts, and defame the founder of Falun Gong and his practitioners, everything will one day be exposed and the facts will be revealed. -
Jiang Zemin's Persecution Against an Entire Family of Dafa Practitioners: Father and Son are Tortured to Death in the Chaoyanggou Forced Labour Camp
2004-04-02After March 5, 2002, Falun Dafa practitioners from Changchun City successfully tapped into a cable TV system to broadcast the truth about the abuses occurring throughout China. The police conducted large-scale arrests throughout the Province. More than 5,000 practitioners were arrested in Changchun City alone. A perpetrator of the persecution, Wang Yunkun, went to the Chaoyanggou Labour Camp on April 6 to arrange for the purchase of large quantities of electric batons, torture devices, monitoring equipment and electrified wire nets. The Financial Bureau also went to the labour camp and allotted more funds to build buildings and to give bonuses to the police. Ever since then, the Chaoyanggou Forced Labour Camp has become a concentration camp specializing in the persecution of Falun Gong. -
136 Shaanxi Province Falun Gong Practitioners Sue Jiang Zemin's Political Gang -- Part 1
2004-04-02Police captain Zhao Xiaoyang (age 40), said with hypocrisy, "At each meeting we'd like to know about Dafa practitioners' opinion. So everybody can write out your thoughts. You can also talk to me." However, when practitioners truly wrote out their righteous understanding of Dafa and expressed their determination to continue practising, Zhao revealed his true nature. He raised the police club (except for the first meeting, he always carried a police club with him) saying, "Carrying people out from the labour camp is the same as carrying people out from the hospital!" (Meaning deaths at the labour camp are not different from deaths at the hospital, both are treated as deaths from natural causes). -
Police Chief Lu Hongyan Severely Tortures Elderly Women in Lushuihe Town, Jilin Province
2004-04-01Since Lu Hongyan, deputy chief of Lushuihe Town Police Department, took office, he has been the major culprit responsible for persecuting local Falun Dafa practitioners. He has extorted money from Falun Gong practitioners and cruelly beaten them, often leaving their entire bodies bruised, not even sparing elderly women of sixty to seventy years of age. He beats them up the same way as he does criminals. -
Details Surrounding the Torture and Death of Falun Dafa Practitioner Wang Jihua from Shandong Province (Photo)
2004-03-31 Lin Lianghua hurried to the hospital, and found Wang was very pale with clumps of blood in his hair, and wounds on his head. There were several big scars on his head, and there were several purple coloured bruises on his forehead. He was only skin and bones, he had urinary and fecal incontinence, and was mentally a vegetable. She questioned medical employees and plain-clothes police around her, as to why her husband was dying, when he was perfectly fine before they arrested him? They could not answer her. Lin Lianghua had to arrange to take her husband home on April 20. -
Death of Chongqing City Dafa Practitioner Ms. Liao Furong as a Result of Torture in the Pengshui County Detention Centre
2004-03-31Currently only scanty details are known about the death of Ms. Liao Furong,due to the information blockade from the Chinese authorities. On November 19, 2000, Liao Furong went to Tiananmen Square with another local practitioner to unfurl a "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance" banner. Ms. Liao was arrested and suffered severe torture at the Pengshui County Detention Centre. Later she was sentenced to four and a half years of forced labour. However, the Yongchuan Female Prison refused to accept her because of her severe injuries from the beatings. Her death is tragically yet one more senseless fatality due to firmly adhering to her peaceful belief. -

Jilin Province Dafa Practitioner Mr. Cui Jianbo Dies of Torture-Induced Illness
2004-03-31After his release, Cui recovered a bit. But he was still very weak. His wife was sentenced to a labour camp for her belief in Dafa, which also caused a great mental burden for him. He also needed to take care of the heavy housework with his emaciated body. In late 2003, his condition worsened. He was twice rushed to the hospital. The doctors said his lungs were rotten. After he came back from the hospital, he struggled for another 6 months. On February 14, 2004, he passed away with his illness not cured. He was only 41 years old. -
Belated News: Ms. Zhang Yanju Confirmed to Have Died of Persecution Four Years Ago
2004-03-31A policeman from Chengdong Police Station (phone: 86-418-8823404) confirmed Zhang's death and told the caller that it was the police department that ordered them to send Zhang to the detention centre. But he refused to provide any further information, claiming that the campaign the authorities waged against Falun Gong is a political battle and he cannot answer relevant questions. The above news indicates that many of the death cases of Falun Gong practitioners have been intentionally blocked. The actual death toll of Falun Gong practitioners should have far exceeded the figure of over 900 known to the public. -

2004-03-30At that time, my son was fifteen years old and studying at Nanlan Middle School. On the night before my home was searched, the police woke him up.

Practitioners Forced to Do Slave Labour and Exposed to Environmental Contamination at the Qingpu Female Forced Labour Camp
2004-03-30 During that time the work was to connect light bulbs. A practitioner had to link eighteen small light bulbs together with metal clamps, which meant connecting two wires for each section. The goal was one and a half bags, or connecting many sets of a total number of 4,800 light bulbs daily. Many people's hands became deformed, finger-nails broken and some suffered from stiff finger joints or tendonitis. The practitioners were not allowed to sleep until the goal was reached. Meanwhile, the captain and monitors accused them of being lazy. -
