Ms. Cui was arrested because her previous neighbor, Ms. Ren, had practiced Falun Gong with her before 1999. After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, she stopped practicing the exercises, fearing pressure from the government.

Seeing this, Ms. Ren's son, Gao Jianxun, was not happy and threatened to have Ms. Cui arrested. Gao Jianxun arranged for the family nanny, Bai Li, to collect evidence against Ms. Cui. On June 7, 2005, without any concrete evidence, and with only some verbal information about Ms. Cui and Ms. Ren provided by Bai Li, officers from the Police Station arrested Ms. Cui Rongying

5. [Yi County, Hebei Province] Ms. Zhao Zhiqin Arrested for Practicing Falun Gong

On July 21, 2005, four police officers led by Wu Fengpo from Yi County, Hebei Province arrested Ms. Zhao Zhiqin from Xishan North Township.

Ms Zhao Zhiqin, 50 years old, lives in Gangli Village, Xishan North Township, Yi County, Hebei Province. Before 1996 Ms. Zhao's health was bad. She suffered from heart disease, nephritis, tracheitis, and pains in her abdomen and legs. She went to many places looking for a cure, but nothing worked. Only when she started practicing Falun Gong in 1996, did she start to recover her health. Within less than 3 month she became completely healthy. Many people witnessed the improvement in her health.

Ms. Zhao adheres to Falun Dafa's requirements, following the nature of the universe, "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance." Since she began practicing Falun Gong, her whole family has been in harmony, and their relationship with their neighbors is also very good. Many people around her improved their morality under her influence. Everyone praises her.

The police arrested this nice person just because she practices Falun Gong.

9. [Zunhua City, Hebei Province] Mr. Li Haidong Suffers Brutal Torture

Mr. Li Haidong, about 30 years old, graduated from Hebei Polytechnic University. Officers from the Hebei Zunhua Police Department arrested him in 2003 for making truth clarification materials. He was interrogated overnight and was brutally tortured by the Zunhua Criminal Unit. When he went on a hunger strike in the Zunhua Detention Center to protest the persecution, he was forced to eat dog food. Later he was sentenced to 3 years in prison and was detained at the Tangshan Hehuakeng Forced Labor Camp. There, officers Wang Yulin, and Li Xiaozhong locked him in special cell and tied him to a Death Bed (1) several times.

After 3 years of torture, Li Haidong was directly sent to a brainwashing center, previously called Tangshan Textile University.

Li Haidong's family information:

Address: Xiaozhuang Village, Baozidian Town, Zunhua City, Hebei Province
Phone: 86-315-6953862

(1) The practitioner is tied to a bed, which is usually just a board, for weeks with all four limbs stretched out and locked so they cannot move at all. Women are even kept tied to the bed while menstruating. The practitioner is tied down at all times, having to be fed by someone else. Sleeping and excreting are all done on the bed; for this reason the practitioner is often stripped naked. The practitioner suffers not only from solitary confinement, but also from the excruciating pain of feeling his whole body atrophying. Many practitioners have lost their lives from this torture

On May 28, 2005, officers from the Neihuang County Police Department in Henan Province arrested Mr. Yang Zhongbo, a Falun Gong practitioner in Zhengzhou City, because he clarified truth to others. His family members asked many times to visit him but their requests were always rejected. During that period, his wife, Ms. Li Shufeng, who was seriously ill, could not take the fact that her husband was being detained. Her illness quickly worsened. She died at the end of July, leaving behind a teenage son and a parent over 80 years old. The police refused to allow Mr. Yang to attend her funeral.

11. [Langfang, Hebei Province] Ms. Wan Hongxia on Hunger Strike to Protest Being Detained and Brainwashed

In June 2005, the police arrested Ms. Wan Hongxia, a Falun Gong practitioner from Langfang. For nearly two months after that, they detained her in a brainwashing center.
