Mr. Zheng Dejun, who is in his 30s and a Yichang City resident, was illegally arrested in 2000 and later sent to the Shayang Forced Labor Camp for a 3-year term. In April 2003, he was sentenced to another 3-year term. During his imprisonment, police asked drug addicts to drag him on the ground. He was dragged all the way to a field miles away. With one hand handcuffed to a tree branch, his body was dangling two meters from the ground.

In the summer of 2004, because he tried to stop police from torturing other Falun Gong practitioners, Mr. Zheng was put in solitary confinement. Despite the hot weather, the door and the windows all remained shut, and he was forced to stand, sit, and squat straight and still for hours. Police viciously beat him up and repeatedly subjected him to electric shocks in order to force him to give up his faith. All year round, he was not allowed to go to bed until 1 a.m. and had to get up at 5 a.m. Zheng had gone on hunger strikes to protest the torture.

At about 9:00 p.m. on January 12, 2006, officials from the Jiexi 610 Office, along with the Mianhu Police and local security guards went to the homes of Ms. Wen Fenhua, Ms. Yang Li, Ms. Wang Fenzhen, and Ms. Hong Lizhu, and conducted illegal searches, intimidating and harassing them. They took away the fax machine that the husband of Ms. Hong Lizhu used for business. When the 610 Office officials arrived, only Ms. Hong's daughter was at home, and she was forced to sign the papers, or else she would be taken to the police station. Afterwards, the officials and the police went to Ms. Hong's business to ransack it as well.

In October 2005, the police, on a tip that Ms. He Shuqin of East China Designing Academy in Jiaozhou had clarified the truth to the leadership at a recreation center for retired cadres of the academy, arrested her and later sentenced her to one year of forced labor. Now Ms. He is serving her term at the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp in Shandong Province. Prior to her arrest, her home had been illegally searched.

Ms. Liu Yuying, in her 50s, lives at Huang Village Stop, Daxing District, Beijing. She was twice arrested by Daxing Police and was sent to Tiantanghe Forced Labor Camp. While serving her term, she was twice sent to the Shatan Police Hospital for further torture. Now she is in critical condition and her family has not been allowed to visit her.

Mr. Li Lianjun, who was arrested in the late afternoon of December 28, 2005 in Dalian, is now detained at the House of Correction in Jinzhou City.
