1) Jilin City practitioner Zhang Shousheng describes the persecution that he experienced in police stations and labor camps:

On November 24, 2000, police from Yushugou Police Station in Jilin City arrested me on charges of "illegal gathering" when I was visiting a fellow practitioner. They put me in Huanxiling Labor Camp in Jilin first, then in Baiquan Labor Camp in Liaoyuan City, and then in Chaoyanggou Labor Camp in Changchun City. The persecution that I received was extremely cruel, but I always followed the teachings of Dafa and kept a righteous mind. I recited Dafa texts, and clarified the truth about Falun Gong to people. The savage torture that I suffered during the two years did not affect my determination to practice Falun Dafa, and the one-month extension to my detention term did not alter my strong belief.

2) Practitioner Huang Xin, a 50-year-old retired worker from Huanggu District Clinic of the Shenbei Hospital, of the Shenyang Railway District Bureau, went to Beijing twice to appeal for Falun Dafa in 1999, and was arrested and persecuted by the local police.

In September 2003, Huang's company reported her to the police and they arrested her when she went to the company to pick up her retirement pension. She was secretly sentenced to 8 years in prison by Heping District Court in Shenyang City, and put in Squadron Six of the Ninth Team in Liaoning Province Women's Prison.

Her house has been repeatedly ransacked, forcing her to flee from home and leave her family behind. Once, in the summer of 2001, the police from the "610 Office"(1) abducted her while she was lecturing at school. Her students went on strike to protest her arrest. The school offered to bail her out, and students' parents appealed for her. The police yielded to the pressure and let her go. In August 2002, they arrested Li again in Yingkou City and sent to a brainwashing class, where they tried to force her to have an abortion after learning that she was pregnant. They sent a police car to her house and watched her, but Ms. Li managed to escape one night by jumping the fence and has stayed away from home ever since.

They brought her to the police station, where she repeatedly explained the facts about Falun Gong. At midnight, the police guarding her went to sleep after cuffing her and another male practitioner to a bench. In spite of her serious injury, Ms. Li managed to remove her hand from the handcuffs, and miraculously escaped. However, she was discovered again in her newly rented apartment and was captured. They kept her in the Third Detention Center in Boquan for one year, and sentenced her to four years in prison recently.
