Dafa practitioner, Mr. Kong Deyi, 38, was an employee of the Yonghong Mechanical Factory in the Xiaohe District of Guiyang City, Guizhou Province. After July 1999, he was interrogated by State Security authorities many times because he practiced Falun Dafa. In October 2000, he was interrogated by Police Officer Chen Dengliang (male) and others from the Xiaohe Police Substation, where he was handcuffed to the doorframe for 24 hours. Police also ransacked his home. He was demoted from his position of factory car driver to the supply department. The factory leader arranged to have him pick up materials from Yunnan Province during this time. Because he met with fellow practitioners while in Yunnan, State Security agents interrogated him closely upon his return. On March 2, 2001, he was deceived into attending a brainwashing program advertised as a "Legal Education Class" held at the Huaxi Dairy Farm.

On April 24, 2002, Mr. Kong was forced by male factory police officers Liu Chuanye and Niu Xingguo to go to the Provincial Zhongba brainwashing class, where he was imprisoned for nine months. His father was very worried that his son might be sentenced to prison, plus he missed him so much, he could not bear the intense mental anxiety. He died because his illnesses grew worse and his physical condition quickly deteriorated.

On January 15, 2003, Mr. Kong was sentenced to three years in a labor camp. The first four days in the camp, the police would not allow him to sleep or use the toilet. They beat him up at will, causing him to pass out several times. He suffered inhumane torture. His wife and daughter both relied on his salary to live. Now his family has no means of support.

Dafa practitioner Mr. Hu Rongfa, 56 years old, was an employee of the Yonghong Mechanical Factory in the Xiaohe District of Guiyang City. His wife Liu Anqin and his daughter are also Falun Dafa practitioners. On the evening of February 8, 2002, around 8 pm, factory police officers Niu Xingguo and Jia Jian-gang, together with Police Officer Chen Dengliang from the Xiaohe Substation, stormed into Mr. Hu's house and ransacked his home. Niu Xingguo was drunk and started cursing in Mr. Hu's home, slandering Falun Dafa's Founder. They messed up Hu's house over several hours, took away three Falun Dafa books and more than 10 pieces of Dafa materials, and took his wife Liu Anqin to the substation to be interrogated for two hours.

On June 10, 2002, factory police officer Liu Chuanye, administrator Xia Jianliang (male), and Xiang Ming (male) tried to force Mr. Hu to write some documents according to the upper level's requirements, by threatening him, "If you refuse to cooperate, we will send you to a brainwashing class. If you still refuse to write those documents in the brainwashing class within three months, you will be sentenced to three years in a labor camp." They had this "talk" with him three times.

On June 12, Xiang Ming told Mr. Hu, "This is the last time we will talk with you." That evening, Mr. Hu had to leave his home in order to avoid being illegally arrested and persecuted further. He wrote a letter to his boss about taking a vacation and about his unfinished work at the factory. Factory police officers Niu Chuanye and Niu Xingguo later searched for him all over the place to abduct him to the brainwashing program. Since they could not find him, they posted an announcement in the Guizhou Daily and the Guiyang Evening Post, requesting that he return to the factory within 15 days, or he would be dismissed from his job.

On August 12, 2002, the heads of the factory Zhang Jun and Li Yaoguang completed the paperwork to dismiss Mr. Hu from his job. The factory police Liu and Niu continued to go to Mr. Hu's home as well as his father-in-law's home and even his home town looking for him. They even dared to take his friends and family to the Xiaohe Police Substation in order to pressure them into giving out Mr. Hu's whereabouts. Now Mr. Hu and his wife simply cannot return home and live in peace.

On the evening of April 28, 2002, Dafa practitioner, Ms. Jin Yunbi, went to visit friends and met with her employer, factory police officer Sun Haizhou, who accused Jin of passing out materials, which explained the facts of the persecution of Falun Dafa. Although he had no proof, he wanted to take her to his office. Sun asked another police officer to call the Xiaohe Police Substation. Police Officer Chen Dengliang then brought several police to Jin's home. When they asked Jin's husband Mr. Tao if his wife was home, he said, "No." The police said that someone reported that she was passing out flyers. They also accused Mr. Tao's oldest son Tao Derong of passing out flyers. In fact, Tao Derong had been out giving an acupuncture treatment to one of his patients. On his way home he happened to run into the police, who did not find any truth clarification materials on him. Even with no evidence and without proper legal procedures, Chen Dengliang arrested the father and son and took them to the police station for interrogation. When Ms. Jin returned home, the police wanted to arrest her as well. They pounded on the door, but she refused to open it. Chen Dengliang made his helper kick in her door, which damaged the lock, and stormed into her home. They ransacked her home, but did not find single flyer. They arrested Ms. Jin anyway and handcuffed her overnight. During the interrogation, Officer Chen said that Ms. Jin would be deprived of all her political rights for the rest of her life. When this produced no results, they took Ms. Jin's fingerprints by force for the interrogation record. Officer Wang Yuxiang cursed her, punched her in the face with his fist, and bruised her.

Next day, the police sent Ms. Jin to Lannigou Detention Center. When the police in the detention center asked her how her face got bruised, Officer Wang Yuxiang did not allow her to say that it was he that had punched her. They detained Ms. Jin for 26 days, and then had to release her because she was innocent.

Their son Mr. Tao Derong was locked in the Xiaohe District Drug Rehabilitation Center. Whoever visited him had to pay 300 yuan (the average monthly pay of an urban worker is 500 yuan ). Because Mr. Tao Derong refused to give up Falun Dafa, the police beat him up, confined him in a solitary compartment (1), and handcuffed him to the window frame. After forcing him to wear a helmet so that they would not have to worry about killing him, the police brutally beat him, causing wounds all over his body and such pain in his lower back that he was unable to move. He suffered a nervous breakdown from the constant torture he received. Finally the police had to send him home. His family had to send him to a hospital for six months, at the cost of thousands of yuan for him to recover. He was not able to return to work for over a year.

The factory police often harass people in their homes, request that they write a "Guarantee Statement (2)," and threaten to send them to brainwashing program if they refuse to cooperate. Mr. Tao Xianming's family could not live in peace and for over a year had to leave their home in order to avoid being illegally arrested and persecuted further. The persecution caused them mental, physical and financial losses.
