Mr. Zhou Xirong, 55 years old, resided at Benjie, Machang Village, Jiangping County, Liaoning Province. He was a teacher at Machang Middle School. He obtained the Fa in 1995 and is an active, diligent and steadfast Dafa practitioner.
Since he was an assistant and his home was a practice site before July 20, 1999, he was a primary target when the persecution began. After July 20, 1999, Zhou Xirong was frequently abducted and fined, arrested and jailed. He was fired from his job, and his salary was withheld. He became homeless and traveled about to avoid abduction. On October 22, 2003, the Shaoguo Yingzhi Police Substation arrested him in his hometown. That same day he was escorted to the county public police bureau and transferred to the No. 2 Detention Center. Later he was transferred to the No. 1 Detention Center and illegally sentenced. He was secretly sent to Jinzhou Prison and later to Shenyang Dongling Prison.
At Dongling Prison, Zhou Xirong has been the main target for persecution. He was first assigned an extremely laborious job. Now he is no longer told to do heavy labor, but he is confined in the "small cell." The prison police have incited prisoners to torture him day and night. Prison guard Zhou Xizhong used his false kindness, force and deceit to torture Zhou Xirong. Now Zhou Xirong is on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Ms. Zhang Jimei, 30 years old, comes from the countryside. Her family is very poor, and she has a six-year-old boy. She has been steadfast in her practice of Falun Dafa and does not cooperate with the evil persecution. She was on a hunger strike to protest the persecution for over two years. Since she insisted on doing the exercises, she was severely beaten up by Policewoman Wang Shuzhen. At night she was almost frozen because she was not allowed to have a blanket. She was force-fed for a long time and could hardly speak because her larynx was damaged. Her stomach was also damaged very severely, and she vomited often. The police added unknown medications when they force-fed her.
For some time, Zhang Jimei was kept in a small dark room close to the stairs. Later, she was tied to her bed for a long time and kept under surveillance by collaborators (3). She was forced to use her bed as a toilet, and her blankets decomposed into rags. As a result, her hands were ice-cold, and she had difficulty relieving herself. She was numb and very slow in responding because of the long-term torture. Her present situation is unknown.
Ms. Wang Xiaoling was jailed in a small dark cell when she went on a hunger strike. Both of her wrists were tightly tied for a long time, but she remained steadfast in her belief in Falun Dafa. In June or July 2003, the police took her away, and her current whereabouts are unknown.
