Practitioner Zheng Gui-ying, female, 33 years old, college degree. She lives in the Tianhe South Road #48-304, Guangzhou City. On February 22 of 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, but the Appealing Office in the Yong-ding Gate has already been closed. So she decided to unfurl the banner of Falun Dafa to express her will. She was taken to the Tiananmen Square police station shortly after she carried out her plan. At 2:30pm, she was questioned by a police officer but she refused to answer any questions. She was then back-handcuffed (with one hand coming down from above the shoulder, and the other hand coming up from the lower back --- an extreme torture that can lead to death). She had been handcuffed like this for over one hour. The police also started to beat up her body, her head and her face. Later, the police found a wooden comb from her bag and used it as a weapon to hit her head. Later, the comb was broken. Her nose bled from the beatings. Her face was beaten up to lose shape. She had been tortured for over one hour.
Practitioner Ms. Wang Ying, 41 years old, college degree. She was a technician in the Earth Chemistry Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Science in Guangzhou. On February 28, she was called to the office of the Party secretary, Mr. Zhao Zheng-hua, to accept the "thought education". Secretary Zhao forced practitioner Wang to turn in the small Falun Emblem she carried on her clothes and also to write a pledge that she would not go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. Practitioner Wang refused to do that and she was then detained illegally in the secretary office and a conference room for over 9 hours. She was guarded by the security officers of the institute. At around noon of March 3, practitioner Wang Ying was again called to the Wu-shan police station of Guangzhou City and was demanded to promise not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She again refused to do that. Then, she was thrown into the Tang-xia detention center of Tianhe sub-police department of Guangzhou City at 10pm of the same day under the accusation of "spreading Falun Dafa". She was forced to work for more than 12 hours per day. She got released on the morning of March 18.

At the end of last December, she was arrested and detained in the Tang-xia detention center because of her participation in a small-scale Falun Dafa experience sharing conference. She was detained for more than 15 days, which is the legal limit for administrative detention. Later, she was transferred to criminal detention. She is still in custody. She is forced to work for over 12 hours per day. She has been detained there for over 100 days. The condition there is very bad. She is not allowed to practice Falun Gong.

Practitioner Lin Kai was sent to the Tie-pu Wang-shan-hong labor camp in his hometown in Chaozhou City for 3 years of forced-labor "education". Another 5 local practitioners are also serving 2 to 3 years of forced-labor "education" in the same labor camp, because they had gone to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong.
