1. [Lanzhou City, Gansu Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Yang Xuegui Is Put
on Secret Trial in the Gansu Provincial Prison Hospital
Falun Dafa practitioner Yang Xuegui from Lanzhou City, Gansu Province has
been forced to wander, homeless for his refusal to give up his belief in Falun
Dafa. He was arrested on September 3, 2001 in Jinchang. After the exposure of
the police brutality against him on the Minghui website (Chinese version of
Clearwisdom.net) on October 22, 2001, the police secretly sent him to the No. 2
People's Hospital. The police had exhausted all possible means of inhumane
torture in an attempt to force him to give up cultivation and reveal information
about his fellow practitioners. Yang resolutely refused. The police handcuffed
his hands behind his back, bent his calves under his thighs, and shackled his
ankles to a bench for several days and nights. His eyes turned dark purple due
to the beatings he received, and there were injuries all over his body.
The No. 1 Division of the Lanzhou Police Department sent him to the infamous
Xiguoyuan Detention Center. In the dark and damp environment at the detention
center, Yang became inflamed with scabies and was sent to the Gansu Provincial
Prison Hospital.
On June 6, 2002, the Qilihe District Court and Prosecuting Council in Lanzhou
City illegally set up a courtroom in the provincial prison hospital and secretly
put Yang Xuegui on trial.
2. [Qinghai Province] Large Number of Falun Gong Truth-Clarifying Materials
Distributed in a University in Qinghai Province
Around April 25, 2002, in Huangzhong County as well as around Duoba Forced
Labor Camp, a large number of truth-clarifying Falun Dafa leaflets appeared. A
broadcast of the truth about Falun Dafa took place three times, each lasting one
hour. The evil forces were shocked and intimidated.
Recently the Xining City Police Department in Qinghai Province has gone
unchecked in arresting Falun Dafa practitioners. The authorities claimed that
they have caught the leaders who were in charge of producing truth-clarifying
Falun Dafa materials. Still Falun Dafa materials, banners, and CD's that clarify
the truth are being distributed everywhere.
Not long ago, on campus at a university in Qinghai Province, many Falun Dafa
truth-clarifying materials appeared. Falun Dafa practitioners have been
clarifying the truth with rationality and wisdom. The "610 Office" [an
agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over
each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary
systems] has been forced to chase one lead after another.
3. [Beijing] Falun Dafa Practitioners on Hunger Strikes Held Secretly in the
Basement of Beijing Municipal Police Department Hospital
Many Falun Dafa practitioners who are on hunger strikes have been illegally
held in the basement of the Beijing Municipal Police Department Hospital. Some
of the practitioners have been on hunger strikes to protest the evil persecution
for over six months. However the police simply will not release them. These
practitioners have been force-fed and forcibly injected with medicine. We hope
that people in all walks of life pay attention to this.
4. [Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province] Wang Guojian, Former President of Qianyuan
Traditional Chinese Medicine Institute, Is Illegally Sentenced to Prison
Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Guojian from Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province is
the former president of Qianyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine Institute. After
July 20, 1999, Wang was once illegally detained on criminal charges for going to
Beijing to file an appeal for Falun Gong.
In January 2001, Wang Guojian downloaded from the Internet and duplicated
over four hundred copies of Falun Dafa materials. Unfortunately the police
confiscated these materials. After being illegally held for over a year, Wang
Guojian has recently received a three year prison term from the Yingze District
Court in Taiyuan City on fabricated and unsubstantiated charges.
5. [Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Seventy-Two-Year-Old Female
Practitioner Yu Yaling Sent Directly to Forced Labor Camp upon Illegal Arrest
On June 6, 2002, the "610 Office" immediately arrested 72-year-old
female Falun Dafa practitioner Yu Yaling in Shijiazhuang City, just as she
returned home from out of town. She was sent directly to the forced labor camp
without being presented any legal documents to undergo so-called "reform
through forced labor."
6. [Lanzhou City, Gansu Province] Gansu Provincial Prison Hospital Falsifies
Testimonies of "Death by Natural Causes" in Conspiracy with the No. 1
Detention Center of Lanzhou City
The No. 1 Detention Center of Lanzhou City (the infamous Xiguoyuan Detention
Center) has tortured to death three Falun Dafa practitioners. Falun Dafa
practitioner Zhang Fengyun (female, originally held in the 14th Team)
was sent to Gansu Provincial Prison Hospital after she died from torture. Falun
Dafa practitioner Liu Lanxiang (female, originally held in the 14th
Team) died in the hospital two days after being sent there. Falun Dafa
practitioner Wan Guifu (male, originally held in the 4th Team) was
brutally beaten, causing severe injury to the internal organs in his chest. Wan
was unconscious when he was sent to the hospital, and died three days later.
These three practitioners died as a result of brutal torture, yet the Gansu
Provincial Prison Hospital stated in their death certificates that it was due to
"natural causes."

Take Possession of Private Property
It is reported that the police have ransacked Falun Dafa practitioner He
Wanzhu's home, and confiscated a TV set, a VCD player, boom boxes, recorders,
and walkmans. Besides these things, the police also took 6,000 Yuan his two sons
had saved from odd jobs they worked around town to pay back debts. [The
average monthly salary of an urban worker is about 500 Yuan.] The police
found 600 Yuan in his wife's wardrobe and tried to take it away as well. His
wife (not a Falun Dafa practitioner) found out just in time, sternly demanded it
back from the police, and resisted these barbaric acts.
The police also ransacked the homes of Falun Dafa practitioners Xu Xianglan,
Zhang Huiqing, Hao Min and others.

for harvesting wheat crops.
10. [Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province] Heilongjiang Institute of Science and
Technology Violates Academic Conscience
Students in the Heilongjiang Science and Technology Institute in Jixi City,
Heilongjiang Province have been forced to compose "materials" that

received pressure from the school authorities, and the school used various
methods in an attempt to brainwash these students.
