• In Memory of a Panjing Dafa Practitioner--Mr. Liu Dejun

  2003-12-09
  I heard that Mr. Liu had been shot by the police at his home. They abducted him and sentenced him to three years of forced labour on May 25. A month later, on June 25, I heard that Mr. Liu staged a hunger strike in order to resist the persecution and his life was in danger. I was informed on July 16 that Mr. Liu had left this world on July 11. It had only been 41 days since Mr. Liu was abducted. In these 41 dark days and nights, how much had he suffered in that bloody persecution? Thus far, we still do not know.

• What Was Seen and Heard in the First Labour Camp of Hebei Province

  2003-12-09
  The labour camp head and police claimed that they were going to construct more buildings. They also said that in different parts of China, all places for incarceration, such as labour camps and prisons, are expanding and more new ones are being built. They boasted of "catching all the Falun Gong practitioners and totally eliminating Falun Gong.". ...Some practitioners had been on a hunger strike for a long time. The authorities came into their room several times a day to force-feed them. Policewoman Zhang kept saying, "This is fun!" while she was brutally force-feeding Dafa practitioners. She claimed that she wanted to have fun force- feeding Dafa practitioners. Later, after she had done it many times, she said she did not have fun doing force-feeding anymore; she was tired of it.

• Shandong Province: 23 Year Old Shandong University Student Killed by Police

  2003-12-08
  A 23-year-old university student was tortured to death like this. The police department tightly blocked the news. Later on, a relative of Zhang Zhenzhong saw a piece of news in a newspaper in Beijing, "A tourist drowned after falling into a river in Tongyin county, Henan province." When he saw the picture, he recognised the person and realized it was Zhang Zhenzhong. In this way, the police covered up the truth and tried to avoid taking responsibility. Zhang Zhenzhong's father could not believe it was true. When he went to the Tangyin Detention Centre to ask for his son, the police did not dare to admit what had happened. In order to get justice for his son, Zhang's father brought the case to the court in Tangyin County. However, the judge said, "We know that Falun Gong is innocent, yet who can make a ruling on this case since it was a result of Jiang Zemin's orders?"

• Jilin Province: Jiutai City Court Puts on a Cultural Revolution Style Show Trial

  2003-12-08
  A few days before this secret trial, these thirteen Dafa practitioners, who had been kept in the Jiutai City Detention Centre for a long period of time, each suffered severe beatings. The beatings injured the practitioners in various ways: Mr. Shi Wenzhuo has bruises all over his body; Ms. Liu Yamin suffered broken teeth; Ms. Han Xiaolian's eyes were swollen shut and she could not see. The police handcuffed these thirteen behind their back, tied ropes around their necks and secretly brought them to court. In court, the police did not allow the practitioners to speak up for themselves. They would tighten the rope when anyone spoke, so the practitioner was choked and could not utter a word.

He was abducted by personnel from the Plant and the Sa District's Yongjun Police Station, Daqing City. On November 15, 2002, the Honggang District Court secretly and illegally sentenced him. The Court could not show any criminal activity on the part of Mr. Zhang and did not follow any legal procedure.

Your case was already decided by the provincial authorities." Zhang Xingye was thus illegally imprisoned in Daqing City Prison.

• Hubei Province:The Criminal Acts of Torture Committed against Dafa Practitioners at Police Station in Shiyan City

  2003-12-07
  His body was so deformed from the tortures that he no longer resembled a human being. Because the policemen could not find any criminal evidence against the man to justify their cruelty, they started fearing for the potential legal consequences of murder. Out of cowardice, the policemen took the man to a hospital in Sanyan for resuscitation and medical treatment. To conceal their crimes, the head of the Renmin Road Police Station warned his subordinate officers before they headed for the hospital, "When the doctors ask you the cause of his injury, you must reply that the injuries were caused by two bandits, who robbed the man's wallet and beat him. If you give them the wrong answer, you will pay for the consequence with your life." So the head of Renmin Road Police Station and two police officers took the man to Taihe Hospital in Sanyan. The doctors and nurses were shocked to see the man's severe injuries. They demanded, "Who has done this to you? Do these criminals have any humanity left in them?"

• Entire Family Abducted and Persecuted for Practising Dafa - Fifty Four Year Old Ms. Guo Sulan Passed Away

  2003-12-06
  Her husband was unjustly sentenced to two years of forced labour, and she was sentenced to one year of forced labour. Because her physical health was poor, due to torture, the labour camp did not accept her. She was released only after she was taken back to Tongnan County and after being almost persecuted to death by malicious police officers. After one year of suffering through this painful situation, she passed away at about one o'clock on the afternoon of November 3, 2003. What is more tragic is that Guo Sulan's husband is still jailed in the labour camp and could not go home to see her for the last time.
