Mrs. Fend was later illegally given forced labor education for a year.

On April 24, 2002, Wang Zhizhong leading Xu Renying and several other wicked policemen from Xishang Police Station broke into Mrs. Feng's home, confiscated her family's property, and forcefully abducted her, taking her to a detention center. At the detention center, Mrs. Feng went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal imprisonment. The lawless police Wang Qishan prompted some criminals to barbarically force feed her. She was let go after she was detained for a month and had five thousand Yuan extorted from her.

Practitioner Ms. Jia Guilan, 50 years old, was held at a detention center because she spread the facts of Falun Gong.

Ms. Jia was later sentenced to a set term of imprisonment, and currently she is detained at Dabei prison in Shenyang Province.
