(Clearwisdom.net) [China] A Supplement to "Fellow Practitioners in Mainland China, Please
Don't Casually Reveal Your Identity Over the Telephone," Posted on March 2 According to a friend working at the National Security Bureau, all international
phone calls to this city are tapped and all mail coming from and going overseas from this city are
opened and checked. This is a routine "practice" being carried out for years. It's
estimated that the situation is the same in other cities and provinces. As a result, we now know
what was described in the article posted on March 2. The article can be found from this link: http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2003/3/11/33159.html. [Beijing] Two-Year Forced Labor Sentence for Dafa Practitioner Jiang Jianxue On January 16, Minghui (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net) reported that Beijing
Dafa practitioner Ms. Jiang Jianxue was arrested. The information we gathered so far is this: Jiang
Jianxue distributed some New Year's greeting cards made by Dafa practitioners to her students after
the class. A student reported her to the school's security section and she was thus arrested. Later
she was sent to Haidian District's Detention Center. In the meantime, the personnel from the
detention center assembled several collaborators* and attempted to brainwash her. In order to resist
the persecution, Jiang Jianxue staged a hunger strike for 14 days. She was sentenced to two years of
forced labor. Right now, she is held at a dispatch center. *Collaborators [Former Falun Gong practitioners who have gone astray due to brainwashing

is Arrested Dafa practitioner Ms. Pang (pseudonym), over 40 years old, has been living in
exile for over two years to avoid persecution. During the afternoon of March 3, 2003, Ms. Pang went
to visit fellow practitioner Ms. Mu Qinglan who had been persecuted in a brainwashing class. At
around 4:00 p.m., policemen from the Xili Police Station, including Liu Shushan, went to Ms. Mu
Qinglan's home to harass her. The two practitioners refused to open the door. Later, police caught
Ms. Pang when she jumped out the window on second floor and handcuffed her in the entrance
guardroom. Liu Shushan, the police officer, had someone get Ms. Mu Qinglan's husband and had him
open the door. As the door was locked inside, the lawless policemen attempted to break the door and
threatened Mr. Yin, Mu Qinglan's husband, who is a non-practitioner. After the police left,
practitioner Mu Qinglan decided to leave home and live in exile in order to avoid being persecuted
again in the future. Phone number of the Xili Police Station director: 86-311-3034714 ext. 8201 [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Please Send Forth Righteous Thoughts to Help
