It has been more than 4 months since Falun Dafa practitioner Gao Fengqin was arrested on April 23, 2004. Back then, Mo District Court found Gao Fengqin 'guilty' and sentenced her to 4 years in prison. Currently, Gao Fengqin is still being detained in the Third Labor Camp of Qingdao City, Shandong Province, and she is said to be in very poor health as a result of maltreatment.

Dafa practitioner Sun Lin from Laixi City, Shandong Province was arrested on August 7, 2004 by Binhelu Police Station.

She was also tied up and dragged on the ground behind a motorcycle. Sun Lin went on hunger strike, and she became very weak and fainted on August 16th. Today, Sun Lin is bed-ridden and is unable to stand or walk.

In May 2001, Dafa practitioner Deng Yunlin from Zhangshu City, Jiangxi Province was sentenced to 3 years in a labor camp. Dafa practitioner Zeng Xiaotu was also sentenced to 3 years in a labor camp.
