The practitioners were arrested, detained. and sent to both brainwashing centers and forced labor camps. Some were tortured to death and some are still detained.

Before his death, he was arrested many times and detained in a forced labor camp for three years. He was fired from his job. Once while in a detention center, he was beaten by a guard because he tried to stop the guard from beating other Falun Gong practitioners; as a result of the beating, he lost a front tooth.
