In 2002, in a detention center in Yueyang City, Hunan Province, three policemen from the Junshan District punched and kicked Dafa practitioner Cao Xianghui. They forced her to face a wall and kneel down with two arms up against the wall, and then stomped on her feet with their boots. Her two knees rubbed against the ground and soon became bloody and soiled. She has been tortured to the point of becoming nothing but skin and bone.

One night after Ms. Cao was released, 4-5 policemen from the Cengshang Police Station arrested her again and detained her for one week. Afterwards, the police tied her up with rope, hung a sign saying "Falun Gong Fanatic Cao Xianghui" around her neck, and paraded her through the Qianhu Street in Yueyang City. Then they threw her in the Hubin Detention Center, where she was kept for half a month before she was transferred to the Baimalong Forced Labor Camp in Hunan Province.

Cao Xianghui was very determined and refused to give in to the labor camp guards, who tried to force her to curse Master Li and write the "three guarantees", statements promising to give up the practice of Dafa. She persisted in practicing Falun Gong and clarifying the truth. On one occasion, the police stuffed dirty socks into her mouth and forced her to stand facing a wall. Some prisoners were assigned to monitor her. The guards in the labor camp handcuffed her hands to the top bunk bed and didn't allow her to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom. The police mocked her, saying that she could go to the bathroom in her pants. The police also bound her to a tree, then shocked and beat her with batons and clubs. Cao Xianghui had scars all over her body from the shock torture. Whenever she fainted, they revived her by splashing her with water and continued to beat her. However, Cao Xianghui still clarified the truth of Falun Gong to them. The original sentence given to her was only one and a half years, but now two years have passed and the Baimalong Labor Camp continues to confine her indefinitely.
