(Minghui.org) Ms. You Quanfang and her sister-in-law Ms. Xiao Danfeng were illegally arrested on April 9, 2015, and their homes were ransacked by police. The raid was carried out after a piece of currency marked with messages about the persecution of Falun Gong was allegedly found at their store.
Ms. You's family has suffered brutal persecution for their belief in Falun Gong.
Ms. You and her sister Ms. You Quanfen were sent to Nanmusi Women's Forced Labor Camp in 2000, where guards used numerous torture methods to coerce Falun Gong practitioners into renouncing their belief.
Guards cuffed and hung Ms. You from a window, with only the tips of her toes touching the ground. She almost lost consciousness from the pain. Her hands and legs were injured and festered after being beaten with wires, and her buttocks became purple-brown.

A month later, Ms. You was shocked with an electric baton for practicing the Falun Gong exercises in the labor camp. When asked if she would continue practicing, Ms. You firmly said yes.
Ms. You's elder brother Mr. You Quanming and her sister-in-law Ms. Xiao Danfeng left home to avoid further persecution. They were found by police in Lijiang, Yunnan Province in October 2007, detained for a year, and sentenced to five and three years in prison, respectively. Ms. Xiao has spent a total of nine years in prison simply for refusing to renounce her belief in Falun Gong.
