Tang Chunfang was sent to a forced labor camp because she insisted on practicing Dafa and was held at Tangshan City's Kaiping Women's Forced Labor Camp. There she suffered all kinds of excruciating tortures. She was sent back home when she became extremely weak. On October 23, Tang Chunfang was not feeling well and lying in bed, unable to move.

They refused to sign or write the so-called "Three Statements" (Note: they are documents coerced under extreme pressure, torture and brainwashing, designed by the authorities as part of the brainwashing. The statements consist of a letter of repentance, a guarantee to never again practice Falun Gong, and a list containing names and addresses of all family, friends and acquaintances of the detainee who practices Falun Gong. The notorious "610 Office" concocted this system). They have been detained over a month so far. The police prohibited their family members from visiting them and blocked the news of their arrest.
