Ms. Sun Xiuxia lives near Tiebei Erdaogou in Nanguan District, Changchun City, Jilin Province. She was abducted from her home on May 27, 2004.
At 7:30 a.m. on May 27, Ms. Sun was about to have breakfast when eight plain-clothes police officers entered her home. They claimed to be from the Branch Police Department. Upon entering, they questioned whether she still practiced Falun Gong and whether she had CDs with truth-clarifying contents. She told them that she still practices. They told her it was banned by the government, and they started searching her home. They found Falun Dafa books and truth-clarifying materials. Ms. Sun refused to cooperate with their lawless acts and shouted "Falun Dafa Is Good." The policemen beat and kicked her while carrying her into a police vehicle. Her husband was also taken away at the same time.
Their daughter was scared and cried continuously. Her mother, in her sixties, happened to be visiting at the time, and was distressed by this abuse. Ms. Sun's husband is kind and reserved. He could not stop the police brutality, and they demanded that he keep an eye on his wife.
Ms. Sun has been sentenced twice to forced labor for practicing Falun Dafa. After the second unlawful forced labor term, she was taken to the Changchun City Brainwashing Center. She suffered from illness as a result of abuse, and was released only after her family wrote guarantees that renounced Falun Gong on her behalf, which she later nullified.

In order to coerce Falun Dafa practitioners to give up the practice, police of the Heilongjiang Women's Prison have been showing brainwashing videotapes in all the wards, including the hospital area. Three or four police officers then take out preprinted "statements of transformation" and attempt to force practitioners' fingers to sign the document.
Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Fang refused to wear the inmate identification tag and went on a hunger strike, so a tube was inserted into her nose for force-feeding. The tube was left in for almost a week, and was used repeatedly without cleaning, thus infecting her lung. In a recent checkup, she was diagnosed with late stage pulmonary tuberculosis, which is considered incurable. Ms. Wang Fang is losing weight each day.

Informants called township government officials, who beat and arrested the three practitioners.
Ms. Yang Yuman suffered from inhumane force-feeding numerous times after holding a hunger strike for over fifty days.

Ms. Yang was sent to the Baimalong Women's Forced Labor Camp last month. No one has heard anything since, and many are worried about her situation.
Mr. Hu Chougai has been taken into custody at the No. 7 Brigade of the Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp in Changsha City, Hunan Province. His wife Ms. Deng Yue'e is already being unlawfully held at the Changsha Women's Prison because she practices Falun Dafa.

Prison terms are normally processed by the police department, which brings in the procuratorate, and then the court holds a trial.
