(Clearwisdom.net) Some government agencies and individuals have closely followed Jiang's regime to severely persecute Falun Gong practitioners in Jinchang City, Gansu Province. Among them are personnel in the "610 Office,"* National Security Bureau, and Police Department of Jinchang City.

One practitioner, Hou Youfang, a middle school teacher in Jinchang City, is confirmed to have been killed by authorities in prison. Nearly 100 others have been fired from their jobs, have had their personal properties confiscated, and have been detained or sent to forced labor camps and prisons to be tortured. Their family members have also been placed under enormous pressure by the authorities.

As of now, the following practitioners have been illegally sentenced to jail: Fan Yongcheng, Zhang Yonglong, An Zhanfeng, Wu Kaili, Guo Hong, and Hao Jun. Some of them were sentenced up to 12 years imprisonment.

The following practitioners were either detained or jailed temporarily: Mao Wei, Zhao Shenghua, Liu Zheng, Wei Anyue, Wang Yuee, Liu Ruolan, Liu Zhiping, and Su Jianjun.

The following practitioners are still being detained in the detention center: Li Guiying, Ma Zhigang, Zhao Fengliang, Li Dexiang, Shan Siyuan, and Cong Jinxia.

The following practitioners have previously been or are still being held in forced labor camps:

Hou Youxiang, Wang Shuhua, Wang Ailing, Ma Yuefen (legs were once broken as a result of beating), Lu Fenglan, Wang Shushen, Wang Shukun, Zhao Fengliang, Wu Kaili, Lei Zhanxiang, Yang Chengmei, Li Guiying, Guo Qunying, He Binying, Zhu Lanxiu, Fu Guiqin, Zhao Yueqin, Sun Ailing, Li Dexiang, Liu Guiju, Liu Guihua, Yang Xiufang, Wang Yumei, Bai Shufang, Chen Ligao, Wang Jinping, Yang Xiaochuan, Hao Jun, Zhao Peiwen, Ma Zhigang, Ma Yingjun, Chen Xuzhong, and Li Bo.
