Practitioner Yang Zuolin is from Jiangjing City, Sichuan Province. After being released from a forced labor camp, he went to Chongqing City to help with the preparation of truth clarification materials. On the morning of December 7, 2004, he was forcibly arrested from his rental house in Liudianzi District, Shiqiaopu area. The police confiscated two computers, many Falun Dafa books and a large quantity of truth-clarification materials. Eyewitnesses said that after Mr. Yang's arrest, they found blood on a piece of white cloth on the ground.

Practitioner Ms. Yin Wenlan was arrested on the evening of March 31, 2004. She was detained at the Tieling City Police Department. During interrogation, she was tortured by policemen Yu Honghai (male, 49 years old) and Wang Hong (male) to obtain a confession. They used electric batons to shock and beat her. Yin Wenlan suffered tremendously both physically and mentally.

In October, Yin Wenlan was illegally sentenced to 9 years of imprisonment. Her appeal to the Tieling City Intermediate People's Court was rejected.

During her detention at the Kaiyuan City Detention Center, Yin Wenlan showed symptoms of high blood pressure, heart disease and an inflamed gallbladder. No treatment helped. On the evening of November 30, 2004, prison doctor Hu Bo administered a large amount of unidentified medication to her. The next morning, on December 1, the detention center sent Yin Wenlan to Lianning Women's Prison without disclosing to them her medical condition. Subsequent to the November 30 medication, Yin Wenlan showed a variety of symptoms: a state of mental fog for some time, temporary memory loss, a burning sensation in her internal organs and extreme difficulty breathing. Additionally, she barely had any feeling in the area above her chest, felt numb in the arms and legs and had night sweats. Yin Wenlan was diagnosed with lack of blood in the myocardium, high blood pressure, pancreatitis, high concentrations of alanine in her system and signs of liver disease.

Practitioner Ms. Yang Lingpu, 66 years old, is from Beijing City. On October 22, while handing out truth-clarification materials to people in Xuanwu District, she was arrested by a plainclothes police officer. She was first taken to the Xuannei Police Station, and later to the Xuanwu District Police Station. Family members were not allowed to either visit or send clothes to her.

Practitioners Mr. Gao Yanhai and Ms. Jiang Zongyu are from Yulin Town, Lanxi County, Heilongjiang Province. On November 23, 2004, they, with two other female practitioners, went to Hulan County to distribute truth-clarification materials.

At around 7:00 p.m. on November 24, 2004, the head of the Lanxi County Police Department Political Security Division, Wu Lizhong, with several policemen from the Yulin Town Police Station, went to practitioner Mr. Li Dekui's home with a camera. Li Dekui's residence is in Xiaofangsheng Village, Yulin Town. The police took pictures of one wall in Li Dekui's home. The wall has phrases like, "Falun Dafa is good," and, "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance." They also called the county Police Department to report that there were several people practicing Falun Gong in Li Dekui's home. They then used force to arrest several people present at the time: Mr. Qin Yunfeng (Li Dekui's son-in-law), Mr. Li Dekui, Ms. Li Jifeng (Li Dekui's daughter), Ms. Wang Fenghua, and Ms Wang Huanying. These practitioners are now detained at the Lanxi County First Detention Center.

About a week later, practitioner Li Yunyan, from Linjiang County, Lanxi County, was arrested while she was clarifying truth about Falun Dafa to a man on a Linjiang Street. She is now also detained at the Lanxi County First Detention Center.

Practitioner Ms. Han Wei is about 38 years old. She used to be a doctor at the infirmary of Guizhou Industrial University. She was secretly arrested by special agents from China's National Security Bureau.

Practitioner Ms. Li Shiying is in her 60's. In September 2004, while on her way to another practitioner's home to obtain Teacher's new articles, she was followed and arrested by the police. After her release, she maintained her righteous thoughts and continued to clarify truth about Falun Dafa to people. On November 24, 2004, Li Shiying was telling people the truth about Dafa on the street. Many passersby were surprised to learn the real story behind the persecution. This helped to eliminate their misunderstanding of Dafa. In a little while, a patrolling police car noticed this, and the officers roughly dragged Ms. Li into the patrol car in front of everyone, and then drove away. The crowd was astonished by the policemen's violence.

Li Shiying is now detained at the Beijing City Police Department, Fengtai Branch.

Practitioners Ms. Yang Guiping and Ms. Yang Benquan are outstanding nurses at the First People's Hospital in Jingmen City, Hubei Province. Because they believe in Falun Dafa and clarified truth about the persecution, they were arrested by officers from the Quankou Police Station in Jingmen City. Since then, they've been detained at the Huyaguan Detention Center for two months. When they went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution, they were force-fed.

Practitioner Ms. Wang Yuzhen is 43 years old. Her home is close to the Chuangshang Hospital in Changyi District, Jilin City. At around 10:00 a.m. on November 4, 2004, Ms. Wang was arrested by policemen from the Jilin City Police Department National Security Section. Without proper legal procedures, Wang Yuzhen was sentenced to one year of forced labor and was sent directly to Heizhuizi Labor Camp in Changchun City. The main reason for Wang Yuzhen's one-year forced labor sentence was that she had written letters to national leaders to tell them the facts about Dafa and the brutal persecution of Dafa practitioners.

Gansu Women's Labor Camp imprisons female practitioners who have been sentenced to forced labor. These practitioners are from different places in Gansu Province. It is said that a "100-day Safety Competition" campaign is going on right now in all the forced labor camps in the province. In order to force practitioners to give up their belief in Falun Dafa, guards use various tortures: heavy labor, beating, punishment by forcing practitioners to stand for a long time(see note below), sleep deprivation and isolation. Recent reports from the Women's Labor Camp reveal that practitioner Ms. Yan Ping wasn't allowed to sleep for 9 consecutive days. She was forced to do heavy physical labor both day and night, was not allowed to sleep, and also suffered physical abuse.

Note: The so-called "Punishment by forcing inmates to stand for a long time," means that the victim has to stand, facing a wall all day long except for the time spent eating, sleeping and using the toilet, from the time s/he rises at 5 a.m. until 1 a.m. or 2 a.m. the next morning, when s/he is allowed to go to bed. This abuse usually lasts several days. If someone cannot withstand the intensity of prolonged standing and loses consciousness, the guards will then force-feed him or her with drugs.

Practitioners Song Qiyue and Lu Hongmei (a couple) were born in Jilin Province. After they obtained their Master's degrees in Beijing, they went to work at the Northern Vehicle Research Institute in Beijing City. In Fall, 2001, because Song Qiyue refused to give up his belief in Falun Dafa, the Research Institute planned to arrest him and take him to a brainwashing class. Using his righteous thoughts, Song Qiyue managed to escape. To avoid further persecution, he went to Shanghai. At the end of 2003, personnel from the Research Institute went to their parents' homes to ask them to transfer their residence registration back to their birthplace. On November 2, 2004, Song Qiyue and Lu Hongmei were arrested by the Yangpu Police Department's National Security Section in Shanghai. Their arrests came after Song Qiyue's personal correspondence was obtained illegally and then opened by the police. The opened letters contained truth-clarification material. Song Qiyue is to be put on trial soon.

Practitioners Mr. Di Jianchao (39 years old) and Mr. Wang Shiqing work for the Shipping Machinery Ltd. in Kunming City, Yunnan Province.

On November 22, Mr. Di and Mr. Wang were taken to the Anning Detention Center in Yunnan Province. The detention center will not allow anyone to visit them.
