Facts of the Persecution

1. Mr. Shang Xiping and Mrs. Cheng Shujie, a Couple from Huanan County, Heilongjiang Province, Unlawfully Sentenced to Prison Term

Since July 20, 1999, when the persecution of Falun Gong was initiated by the Chinese Communist Party, Shang Xiping and Cheng Shujie have been illegally arrested on numerous occasions. Mr. Shang Xiping has been detained six times and sentenced to do hard labor for eighteen months. Mrs. Cheng Shujie has been detained four times for periods of up to five months each. She was also sentenced to hard labor for seventeen months. Corrupt officials have also unlawfully extorted as much as 30,000 yuan from them, and both were also expelled from their work units. On September 30, 2004, the Public Security Bureau detained them yet again on a trumped up charge. With only fabricated charges, Mr. Shang Xiping was sentenced to a four-year prison term and Mrs. Cheng Shujie was given one year.

2. Ms. Zhong Lingshen Abducted by Police for Practicing Falun Dafa

On March 14, 2005, the 610 Office and the Public Security Bureau from Huangpi Section together with Qianchuan Street First Detention Center, abducted Ms. Zhong Lingshen, 46, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Wuhan City, Hubei Province. Her home was ransacked, and household belongings including Falun Dafa books, Falun Dafa exercise equipment, a calculator, a dehumidifier and an electric stove were stolen from her. In 1995, Ms. Zhong had an operation to remove part of her gallbladder and bile duct, as well as three gallstones. In 2000, she again had to undergo surgery to remove a handful of gallstones. Her surgical incision didn't heal for a long time due to premature discharge from the hospital, after which she needed to remain in bed under the care of her family. Even though she was in extreme pain, she started practicing Falun Gong. Soon after that, her incision healed and she regained her health.
