Practitioner Mr. Lu Zhixiang was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment and is being held at the Xinjiang Autonomous Region's No. 5 Prison. Because he refused to renounce his belief, policemen only permit him one hour of sleep per day. They exposed him to the summer heat and the winter cold.

Because of his determination to Falun Gong, policemen only give Mr. Zhu Yihua a minimum amount of food to keep him alive. They use this hunger torture to damage the practitioner's will and body. In order to cover their atrocities, they ordered that released prisoners not reveal any information about the prison conditions to the outside.

Mr. Zou Zhengming, former deputy chief from the Toutunhe District Police Precinct, affiliated with Wulumuqi City's Police Department in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, was sentenced to three years of imprisonment.
