(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Ma Jun, in his forties, is an employee of Bengbu City Filter Factory. He is an honest and kind person. Since the persecution began on July 20, 1999, he has been arrested and his house has been searched several times by agents of the city 610 Office and police department. He has been detained several times at the Bengbu City First Detention Center. On July 20, 2004, Mr. Ma was arrested by policeman Zhong Yongxiang from the Longzihu District Department in Bengbu City when he was on his way to work. Mr. Ma was taken to a brainwashing center. He escaped with righteous thoughts and had to leave home to avoid being arrested again. In January 2005, he was arrested by the police in Shanghai and taken back to Bengbu City. He was detained in the Bengbu City First Detention Center. The police fabricated "proof" from other fellow practitioners and he was secretly sentenced to four years in prison. He was taken to the Anhui Province Third Prison in Suzhou City. Mr. Ma is steadfast in Dafa cultivation and refuses to accept the brainwashing. He has been tortured in prison nonstop and he is not allowed to be visited by his family members.

Ms. Xu Jinxian, 61, is a senior engineer at the Committee of Huai River Control with the Ministry of Water Resources. At 4:00 p.m. on March 30, 2006, policemen Hu Liuzhu, Zhong Yongxiang, and officers from the city 610 Office broke into her house when she was at home. She was detained and taken to the city brainwashing center. Ms. Xu will not allow herself to be "transformed" nor will she cooperate with the officers, as she maintains strong righteous thoughts. She was again detained at the Bengbu City Detention Center. Six months later, she was sentenced to four years in prison. She was secretly taken to the Anhui Third Prison in Suzhou City and has been detained there ever since.

Ms. Chen Guiying and Ms. Wang Qixia were followed and arrested when they were distributing truth clarifying materials in September 2006. Both were later sentenced to one year of forced labor. They are still being detained at Anhui Province Women's Force Labor Camp.
