At about 9 a.m. on May 7, 2004, Dafa practitioners Ms. Gao Chengnu and Tang Haiyun were walking on a street. Unexpectedly, four police offices jumped out off a car and arrested the two. They took them to the Nanwei Police Station. That same evening, they were transferred to the Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp. Tang Haiyun escaped successfully, but Gao is still suffering in the camp. Gao is in the process of applying for emigration to South Korea because her husband is a resident of Tianan City, South Korea. The Public Security Bureau refused to approve her application, arrested her and sent her to forced labor camp.

Two Dafa practitioners were arrested at Hengyang County: Ms. Liu, 58 years old, from Yuanchun, Ziyunan, Xidu District. She was arrested when doing Falun Gong exercises at home at 4 a.m. on May 14, 2004. Ms. Peng Junnan, an Excellent Teacher Title holder from the Xidu Township Middle School, was arrested on May 13. Her whereabouts are unknown.

On May 15, 16, 2004, Dafa practitioners Ms. Li Runxian and Aunt Lai were arrested after leaving their residency. Another Dafa practitioner, Ms. Huang Yulan, was also arrested outside her home on May 9, 2004.

Ms. Sun Minglian, in her 60s, a resident of Yangshan Township, was arrested on May 9, 2004. The Linqu "610 Office" from her mother's township, arrested her and sent her to the Weifang Brainwashing Center.

Mr. Liu Yongming is 54 years old. He lives at the No.38-1-371, Linhe Road, Dadong District. He was sentenced to two years of forced labor because he showed banners at Tiananmen Square, Beijing on February 18, 2004.

On April 23, 2004, Han Changlin and her sister Han Changdi were arrested by police officers from the Changde City Public Security Bureau when they were hanging up Dafa truth materials.

On March 25, 2004, deputy director Zhou of the Nanpi Public Security Bureau, Wang Yuliang, the head of the Police Brigade, and a number of police officers arrested Dafa practitioners Wang Hongsheng, Sha Mei, Liu Hongqin, and Hou Mujiang.

Another tragic case is reported about Xu Fengchen's family of three. Xu is a retiree from the Transportation Bureau. Because of the persecution carried out by Zhang Junming, Xu, his wife and their daughter, who suffers from a mental illness, became homeless.

Ms. Ying Qirong is a retiree from a branch of the Chengdu City Radio and TV Bloc, Sichuan Province. Although no legal grounds existed, her home was monitored by 8 plainclothes police around the clock. To protect her legal rights, Ms. Ying wrote an appeal letter and submitted it to a local street office (may be the Shuyuanjie Office) accompanied by her husband. She was arrested and her whereabouts are unknown.

Dafa practitioner Ms. Qu Shufan went to Beijing to clarify the truth of Dafa to people. She was arrested by Tiananmen Square police officers. She resisted the persecution, but was beaten and hung upside down at the Pinggu County Detention Center by police officers.

At the Honggu District Detention Center (Haishiwan Drug Addicts Center), Lanzhou City, police officers coerced drug addicts to torture Qu. They kicked her lower abdominal area, and the area of her kidneys, 300 times. Her entire body was injured. After Qu went on a hunger strike, she was force-fed with dirty water, which almost killed her.

Because she has been clarifying the facts about Dafa to people, she has been detained many times. Her home was searched, and she was sent to brainwashing programs.

In August 2002, Qu held a Dafa practice experience-sharing seminar at her home. Police officer from Lanzhou City Public Security Bureau and the Haishiwan Police Station, and officers from the "610 Office" of the Lanzhou Carbon Materials Inc. locked them into a room for 9 days.

Thereafter, Qu was sent to forced labor camp for one and half a years. On April 27, 2004, her family members wanted to bring her home, as her term was over that day. Unfortunately, she had been secretly taken to the Gongjiawan Brainwashing Center (so-called Legal Education Center), Lanzhou City for further persecution.
