(Clearwisdom.net) Twenty-nine Falun Dafa practitioners in Changde
City, Hunan Province were seized on December 20, 2005. Some of them were
released, some sent to labor camps, and some faced illegal trials. We know that
the following fellow practitioners now face trial: He Bolian, Yin Hong, Zhang
Chuntao, Shi Yuhua, Yang Dongzhi, Yang Fu, Wang Xiaoqun, and Guo Zhaoqing.
Zhang Chuntao was seized on December 20, 2005. He went on a hunger strike to
protest the persecution and was released before the Chinese New Year. On
February 2, 2006 he was taken away again, and is presently illegally detained
in the Changde City detention center. His life is in danger. At present Shi
Yuhua's life is also in danger. However, the chief of the Changde City police
department ordered that Shi Yuhua was not to be released, claiming that he
himself will take the responsibility if Shi Yuhua dies.
On about April 22, 2006, Falun Dafa practitioner Guo Zhaoqing and two others
escaped from a hospital in Li County, Changde area with their righteous
thoughts. At present their whereabouts is unclear. Notices have been posted
everywhere in Changde City offering a reward in order to catch them. It is said
that whoever provides news about the practitioners will get a monetary reward of
5,000 to 10,000 yuan.
It was reported that last year in Changde City, a few Falun Dafa practitioners
were tracked for a very long time. The local government organs were rewarded for
destroying Falun Dafa truth-clarification materials production sites. The
destruction of one materials production site resulted in the arrest of many
Falun Dafa practitioners. There appeared many indications beforehand. Some
practitioners found they were being followed many times, some found they were
photographed or that someone had broken into their rented house leaving the
contents inside untouched. Some heard their landlord saying that National
Security personnel asked whether certain people lived there while showing their
pictures. Obviously, there were security loopholes, and the practitioners did
not pay enough attention. Some individual practitioners who were alerted, were
even labeled by others as having fears.
