They took Zhang Fengying, her husband and son to the Funing County Police Department. Her husband and son were released in the afternoon. Police attempted to force Zhang Fengying to tell where she obtained the confiscated items. Because Zhang refused to tell police anything she was held somewhere in Funing County. The following is her story:

Zhang Fengying, 45, started to practice Falun Gong in 1997. She suffered from pulmonary and heart disease before the practice and could not take care of herself. After beginning Falun Gong practice she recovered. After the Jiang regime suppressed Falun Gong in 1999, personnel from Funing County's Zhucaoying Police Precinct, including Pan Weixing and Wang Baohe often harassed her. She was detained four times and fined thousands of yuan. One time she was sent to Tangshan City Kaiping Forced Labor Camp and detained there one year. In order to protest the unlawful detention in the forced labor camp, she held several hunger strikes, and thus her detention term was extended by one month.

Some time ago, Lei Jianli refused to cooperate with police for the so-called "reformation." Policeman Gong Chaolian from No. 7 Division, the Education & Management Section, incited five or six drug addicts to monitor Lei Jianli.

But when Shen Shuge went to the police department, police detained her and sent her into the county's detention center. Policemen claimed the PC contained "illegal" material, but the fact is that Shen does not know how to use the PC, which belongs to his/her family. With a trumped-up charge, Shen Shuge was sentenced to ten months of forced labor. On February 21, 2005, police sent Shen to the Jinan City Forced Labor Camp.
