Female practitioner Ma Li, 27, from Dalian city, Liaoning province, was followed and arrested on March 28, 2003 on her way to work. Her house was subsequently ransacked. Police seized her computer and all of her Falun Dafa books. Ms. Ma is currently detained in Yaojia Detention Center and has been sentenced to a one-year term in a forced labor camp. Using her meager income, she has been sponsoring a poor child who lives in one of the poor mountainous regions of China, but that is no longer possible.

Ma Li's mother Ma Guiqin is firm in her belief in Falun Gong. She is being detained in the Dalian Detention Center and has been sentenced to a two-year term in a forced labor camp.

Wang Zhendong, Ma Li's stepfather, went to the police station many times to try to rescue both Ma Li and her mother. He showed the police the document certifying Ma Li's sponsorship of the child in his attempts to prove how good of a person Ma Li is.

Wang Zhendong passed away at 7 p.m. on April 25, 2003 in a car accident. His body is still in the morgue, waiting to be claimed. The otherwise happy family has been totally destroyed by the persecution.
