1. Ye Wenfu was the former deputy head of the Forestry Department's employee hospital in Yunnan Province. He was illegally arrested for writing seven letters to his senior officers explaining the truth of Falun Gong. Mr. Ye was sentenced to two years in a forced labor camp, and his daughter was also illegally detained for one year. His detention term expired last August, but the labor camp did not release him, stating that, "Whoever has not been transformed will not be released." In order to protest the extension of his sentence, Mr. Ye went on a hunger strike for more than 20 days. His physical health condition was very poor. His current whereabouts are unknown.

2. Zhou Mofang was an associate professor in the Forestry College in Yunnan Province. His wife, Yi Weiyun, was also a faculty member. Because they practiced Falun Gong and clarified the truth to people, Zhou Mofang was illegally sentenced to one year of forced labor. His wife was illegally sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp. Since they both were sent to a labor camp, their daughter had to be cared for by relatives. In November 2002, Professor Zhou was once again illegally arrested and sentenced to five years of forced labor. Professor Zhou is detained in the First Prison in Yunnan Province. Recently, he has been very unwell, and his family requested a conditional release for medical care, but the prison officials refused this request saying, "whoever has not been transformed will not be released for medical care."

3. Ms. Wei Yunmei is in her 50s. She is very determined in practicing Falun Dafa, and clarifying the truth to people. On May 3, 2002 Ms. Wei was illegally detained and sentenced to five years of imprisonment. She was then detained in the Second Prison in Yunnan Province for further persecution. In the prison, she persisted in doing the Falun Gong exercises, and clarifying the truth to the inmates. The inmates liked her and called her "Big Sister of Falun Gong." After several months, she had the symptoms of severe heart failure and her body seemed to go into shock. In April 2003, she was released conditionally for medical care. Through doing the exercises and Fa-study, she regained her health in a few days. Ms. Wei then continued to expose the evil and clarify the truth. In November 2003, she was arrested once again and sent to the Second Prison Hospital. It is unknown if she is still alive.

4. Ms. Miao Qing was a teacher in Yunnan Province's Art School. In November 2002 she was arrested for clarifying the truth to people. Ms. Miao was then illegally sentenced to five years in prison, and was persecuted in the Second Prison in Yunnan Province. She has been on a hunger strike many times, and was isolated and detained in solitary confinement during the most recent. On the fourth day of the hunger strike, she was threatened with force-feeding torture. So she had a little milk. Meanwhile, in order to protest against the "Personal Cangues" [cangue is the name of an instrument of torture, and is now used to indicate the person who is designated to supervise the behavior of practitioners], her legs were injured, and she had to go to the hospital for therapy. No detailed information is known about her, and the police have not allowed family members to visit her. Because of work, Miao Qing's husband has to travel frequently. Their young son is still in middle school, so the family matters have to be taken care of by the grandfather.
