We are three young Falun Dafa practitioners. In 1998 we started practicing Falun Gong together with our parents. We practiced diligently and steadily. But after the persecution began on July 20, 1999, police ransacked our home several times and often monitored and threatened us. Our father, Zou Kewen, was sentenced to five years of imprisonment. Mother and the three of us have consequently had a difficult life. In 2004 our father's prison term was up and he was released. Even though our family had not been together for a year, on August 9, 2005, personnel from the "610 Office" in Wulumuqi City and the Shuimogou District, as well as local police station officials sent our father to the Legislature Education Class at the Hygienic Institute in Banfanggou Township to brainwash him. Our mother chose to leave home to avoid persecution. We went to the brainwashing class, clarified the truth to them, and asked for our father, but they deceived us. They even ordered more than 20 police officers to push, drag or beat us. We were hurt. They took us to a police station against our will. At present, government personnel often harass and threaten us.
