The Domestic Security Division of Duanzhou District arrested Deng Yuehua and sent her to a detention center because her husband went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. For two weeks she was subjected to a brainwashing program. In 2003, because they had not given up their belief in Falun Dafa, Mrs. Deng and her husband were again arrested and jailed.
