Ms. Niu Lanying and Ms. Li Honggui are practitioners from Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. On December 16 last year they were abducted while taking a taxi to Linxia City. They were then thrown into Linxia Detention Center. In no more than half a year, both ladies were tortured so severely that they were reduced to just skin and bone and they had gray hair. Later both of them were sentenced to three years in prison. On May 8, 2006, they were transferred to Gansu Women's Prison.
