Dafa practitioner Ms. Tang Hengfen, 41 years old, was a kindergarten teacher from Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province. Her husband divorced her in 2003 after she was sentenced to three years in prison for practicing Falun Gong. Tang Hengfen and her 12-year-old son lived with her sister in the Dongyang Building, in the Xinfeng Neighborhood District, of Jiguan District. Tang Hengfen was arrested on April 5, 2007 and detained by officers from Yongchang Police Station in the Jiguan District. Her family consulted with numerous people in an effort to rescue her. The police threatened the family.

Tang Hengfen is currently held at the No. 1 Detention Center in Jixi City. Her family hired a lawyer to defend her in court. Jiguan District Police Department agents in Jixi City and those from the procuratorate are planning to hold a trial. When the lawyer requested a meeting with his client Yang Hengfen, the procuratorate told him, "You cannot see her until the trial is over."
