(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Guo Fengxia, 36 years old, lived in Wang'anfang Village, Town of Yaojiafang, Gaoxin Square, Zhangjiakou City in Hebei Province. She suffered from diseases before practicing Falun Dafa. After she began practicing Falun Gong, the illnesses vanished. She went to Nanxinqu to distribute truth-clarifying materials in April 2003. She was illegally arrested and sent to Shalingzi Police Station, and then to the Xuanhua Detention Center. After that she was sentenced to a year in Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp of Baoding City. During this persecution, her family members were also under severe duress and lived in fear. They tried to rescue her but were swindled out of 30,000 yuan by the CCP officers. The CCP officers didn't release Ms. Guo until her one-year forced labor camp sentence was over. Ms. Guo said it was very evil in the forced labor camp. For instance, police guards would throw poisonous snakes on female practitioners. Ms. Guo was harassed and threatened by the local police again in December 2005. The authorities were always harassing and torturing her. Her family members couldn't endure the tremendous pressure, so they did not allow her to study the Fa, do the exercises or clarify the truth. If Ms. Guo went out for a while, her family members would go find her immediately. Ms. Guo suffered greatly in both body and mind. Over a long period of time, Ms. Guo suffered persecution and harassment. As a result, she passed away on February 19, 2006.

Ms. Liu Yuqin, 53, lived in Xiaotang Village, Chengguan Country, Town of Miyun in Beijing City. She began to practice Falun Gong with her husband in 1997. Ms. Li was a community manager in her village. She was very kind and unselfish, and the local citizens deemed her a good community manager. But she was later dismissed because she practiced Falun Gong. Wang Yujing, the head of Town of Miyun District Political and Legal Committee, sentenced Ms Liu and her husband to two years of forced labor. Ms. Liu was refused by the Assignment Department after she had a medical checkup revealing an issue with her thorax. Ms. Liu was arrested again in the middle of June 2003. The Beijing Women's Forced Labor Camp diagnosed her with breast cancer. Against her will she was given injections of unknown substances as "treatment." They caused Ms. Liu extreme pain. She became extremely weak and unable to take care of herself. Nevertheless, the authorities still tried to force her to write a guarantee statement. After Ms. Liu went home, they continued to harass and threaten her. They forbade her from practicing Falun Gong or contacting Falun Dafa practitioners and harassed her by phone every week. Under such severe persecution, Ms. Liu became as thin as a skeleton. Her thigh muscle became disjointed from the bone, and she was a tragic sight to see.

Ms. Liu said to someone who came to question her that she did not need that guarantee statement and needed nothing but Falun Dafa. Ms. Liu passed away in October 2004.

Mr. Bi Yaoming, 79 years old, was a Yangluduan employee in the Town of Nong'an, Jilin Province. He began practicing Falun Gong in June 1997. After he started the practice, all of his illnesses disappeared and he became very healthy. He went to Beijing to appeal for justice in 2000. He was arrested and taken back to a local detention center for two days. After he was released, officers from his company continually harassed him. They did not allow him to practice Falun Gong. They did not pay his wages, either. This persecution resulted in a relapse of his old illness. He passed away in November 2000.
