1. Ms. Wang Shuying was 51 years old. She was from the Manzhouli City, Neimenggu Province. She started to practice Dafa in 1996. In November 2000, police illegally searched her home and found some truth-clarification materials. They "illegally detained" her at a detention center for one year. Ms. Wang got sick because of long-term detention and persecution. In April 2001 and August 2002, she was sent to a brainwashing center and went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal detention. The brainwashing center then force-fed her. Her husband was also detained for six months simply because his wife was a Falun Dafa practitioner. Later on, police stopped by her home several times and harassed her. Ms. Wang Shuying died on January 22, 2006. Before she died, she repeatedly encouraged her families to firmly believe in Dafa.

2. Ms. Wang Guanying was from Dingzhou City of Hebei Province. She used to have bronchitis, heart diseases, high blood pressure, insomnia, and many other illnesses. She started to practice Falun Dafa in 1996. Soon after that, she became healthy, and she was able to work again. Her family was very happy about her improvements. On July 20, 1999, the CCP started the persecution of Falun Gong. Ms. Wang wrote a letter to appeal to higher authorities and clarify the truth to them. The Dingzhou police arrested her because of this. They illegally detained her for 50 days at the Dingzhou Detention Center in late September, 2000. Policeman Lu Shujun from the Criminal Branch beat her and forced her to sit on the tiger bench. He didn't let her sleep, and he would wake her up immediately the second she closed her eyes. She wasn't able to get any sleep for 50 days, which caused her high blood pressure to come back. Ms. Wang fainted away several times. She had bruises all over her face. Policewoman Lu was very vicious. She beat and cursed Wang and tried to force her to write the so-called "guarantee letter" to give up practicing Dafa. The police refused to let her family visit her. In order to get her out, her family catered to the police and invited them to dinners, spending over 30,000 yuan before she was released to get medical treatment.

After Ms. Wang was released, the police didn't allow her to go anywhere. Because they took away her identity card, she had to report to the police station every time she went out, even to visit her relatives and friends. She had to pay 10 yuan to pick up her identity card every time before she could go out. Otherwise, the police would arrest her. The police often came to her home to harass her. On the national holidays or any holidays, the police would search her home and threaten her. They didn't allow her to practice the Falun Gong exercises. They stopped by any time they liked, which made her very nervous. She couldn't go to sleep and she got anxious every time she heard a police car siren. She was even afraid of people knocking at her door. She had to take pills to sleep. The authorities continued to persecute her relentlessly. Ms. Wang suffered a lot both physically and mentally. She died from taking too many sleeping pills.

3. Ms. Li Jing was 79 years old. A retired elementary school teacher, she had taught at the Huanren County Elementary School in Liaoning Province. She had many illnesses before she started to practice Falun Dafa in 1998. After she became a Dafa practitioner, she became healthy. In April 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal to higher authorities to clarify the truth and validate the Fa. The police detained her for a month. In 2003, they illegally arrested her when she was distributing truth-clarification materials in her area. She was detained for two weeks. Later on, the police repeatedly stopped by her home to harass her and threaten her. She suffered a lot both physically and mentally. She died on January 24, 2006.
