Ms. Xu Deqiong is from Danjingshan Town in Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province.

She clarified the truth to people and was arrested by officers from the Taiping Street Police Station in Dujiangyan. The same night, Ms. Xu was sent back to the Danjingshan Town Police Station in Pengzhou City. Officials from Danjingshan government and officers from the police station jointly ransacked her home, but they failed to come up with anything related to Falun Gong.

Mr. Li Jun, Mr. Ji Jianwei, Mr. Shen Guigen, and Ms. Dai Jufen were abducted by the police to a brainwashing center for abuse after July 20, 2004. Mr. Li Jun and others later declared over the Internet that they would continue practicing Falun Gong. The police found out and forcibly sent them to the Shiliping Forced Labor Camp in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province.

Ms. Zhu Xianzhi is from Yanshi City, Henan Province. On September 29, 2004, she was taken into custody at the Yanshi City Detention Center. She was forced to work 18 hours per day. She was whipped with leather strips and put into shackles (connected by a foot-long iron bar between the pair of ankle cuffs) for refusing to engage in slave labor. Ms. Zhu wore only a jacket when she was arrested. The officers still prohibit her from putting on a winter coat. Inmates in the same cell have been intimidated by the officers for, out of sympathy, putting a quilt on her back at night to keep her warm.
