(Clearwisdom.net)

On March 27 of 2003, Haidian District Court of Beijing City illegally sentenced Tan Shouli, Xu Xueqin (female), Kou Guihuan (female), He Xinping, Zhou Zi (female), Liang Zhansheng, Wang Pu, Xu Jing (female) to jail terms ranging between 3.5 and 10 years.

Some of these practitioners had already been illegally detained for one year and others even for more than a year. Cruel prison guards tortured the practitioners during their detention both mentally and physically, using all means to force them to give up their belief. Yet, all the evil methods they tried were in vain before the righteous thoughts of Dafa practitioners..

According to internal reports, initially the authorities had planned to handle those cases in a "low key" manner, although later this turned into severe jail terms.
