She told the police officer that they could not detained Mr. Yu based on his belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Mr. Yu is currently protesting the persecution by holding a hunger strike.

In the detention center Ms. Teng has refused to wear the uniform, and does not recite the detention center rules. She has even carried out a hunger strike. In order to force Ms. Teng to stop her hunger strike, the detention center tried to stir up hatred against Ms. Teng among the inmates by telling them that they could not eat as long as Ms. Teng was still on a hunger strike. Ms. Teng told her son over the phone that she was carried out of her home by four police officers.

The relatives of other practitioners, who went to the public security bureau branch to demand their family member's release, include Mr. Yin Mingli’s wife, Ms. Zhao Xiulan’s daughter, Mr. Li De’s family, and others. It was said that Mr. Li De was cruelly tortured and coerced to reveal his computer password.
