(Clearwisdom.net) On August 11, 2007, Yuan Dongnan, a female practitioner from Changde City, Hunan Province was illegally arrested by the evil policemen in Chenzhou City and is currently illegally detained in the Changde No.1 Detention Center. Just one month later, on September 11, 2007, her husband practitioner Liu Xianglin was illegally arrested in Changsha City and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

Ms. Yuan Dongnan is in her 30s. She started to practice Falun Gong in 1999. On November 6, 2002, she was illegally arrested by Changde policemen and not long after this she was able to get out of the prison. After this, she became homeless in order to avoid being illegally arrested at home and could not go back home. On August 11, 2007, Yuan Dongnan was illegally arrested by policemen from Changde and Chenzhou nearby the house that she leased in Chenzhou City, Hunan Province. Her personal stuff, the computer and the printer were taken away by the policemen. Yuan Dongnan was sent to Changde from Chenzhou and secretly detained in the Changde No. 1 Detention Center. During the detention period, her family was looking for her everywhere. Her family finally received notice of the arrest some 3 weeks later.

According to the news from the detention center, Yuan Dongnan hadn't cooperated with any "interrogation or questioning" from the beginning to the end and was very firm. Yuan Dongnan has been seriously persecuted because she did not give up her faith.

Just a month after Yuan Dongnan was illegally arrested, on the night of September 11, her husband, a Falun Dafa practitioner named Liu Xinglin was surrounded and attacked by three plainclothes policemen in a hospital in Changsha city and was thrust into a car with a plate of Yue B(translator's note: Yue means Guandong province). Nobody knows where he is currently at.

Before Liu Xinglin began to practice Falun Gong, he was a little bit "famous"locally because he had joined a gang to fight and exchange blows a couple of times. He was put into jail for that reason. His parents and his family had no way to control him. Later, some Falun Gong practitioners persuaded him with compassion and clarified the truth to him many times. Liu Xinglin also walked into Falun Gong cultivation. After cultivating Falun Gong, Liu Xinglin got rid of all these bad habits, did things seriously, and became a steady person. He is totally different from before. His parents and family are so excited and proud of him. After Yuan Dongnan became homeless, Liu Xinglin took the responsibility to raise and educate the kids all by himself and did not have any complaints. However, he is now illegally detained too.

Yuan Dongnan's mom, 58 year old Song Zhezi, is a retired female employee from the Eastern suburb supply and sale company. Because she did not give up cultivating Falun Gong, she had been illegally detained in the Changde City Detention Center and the Baimalong Labor Camp in Zhuzhou City. She is currently detained in the Hunan Woman Prison and has been seriously tortured there. Her privately owned shop was destroyed and her bank savings are frozen.

Three people from this family have been put into CCP jails just because they've remained steadfast in their belief in "Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance", remained true to their consciences, and worked to become better people.
