Ms. Wang Yu, 34, was arrested by officers from the Yunfeng Street Police Station in Tiexi District for distributing Falun Gong truth clarifying materials in February 2002. She was brutally beaten, and then transferred to the Sitaizi Women's Drug Rehabilitation Institute in Shenyang City. She resisted this persecution by going on a hunger strike. Seven days later she was in critical condition. Since the officials worried about being held responsible for her failing health condition, they sent her home. The neighborhood administrative office sent people to keep an eye on her every day, and noticed that she started eating again. Three days later, the police station abducted her and sent her to the Sitaizi Women's Drug Rehabilitation Institute. They tricked her into going by telling her she was required to have a physical examination. Ms. Wang went on a hunger strike again. Officials in the facility issued orders to have her force-fed. Seven days later, she began to show symptoms of potassium overdose. The officials released her again. In order to avoid further abduction, she had to leave her home the next day and move from place to place.

On January 8, 2004 Ms. Wang Yu was arrested for the third time by the Tiexi Branch of the Shenyang Police Department. She is being held in the Longshan Forced Labor Camp, serving a three-year term. So far her family has been denied the right to see her.

On January 14, 2004 two Falun Dafa practitioners from out of town, Hu Xingyu and Jiang Congmeng, joined two local practitioners in Salian Town to share some thoughts. Zeng Yuanqiu, party secretary of the No. 3 Brigade in Salian Town, and Chen Longhua, head of the No. 3 Brigade in Salian Town, called in the state security brigade. The officers chased the practitioners to a graveyard in neighboring Pingyang Village. The two out of town practitioners were caught first because they were not familiar with the area. They were brutally beaten by Chen Longhua and his wife. Later Yang Zihua, Zhou Lin, and other members of the state security brigade took the four Falun Dafa practitioners to the Binggu Town Police Station. The practitioners had their arms handcuffed behind their backs for two days and two nights. Another practitioner went to check on the four abducted practitioners before bringing some food to them. Yang Zihua beat the practitioner, yelling, "We don't welcome you" and drove the practitioner away. The four practitioners are being unlawfully held in the Miyi Detention Center. No more details about their condition are available.

Ms. Ma Xiuqin, 61, is a Falun Dafa practitioner from Yi County, Baoding City, Hebei Province. She was arrested in June 2001 and subsequently sentenced to nine years in prison for distributing materials about Falun Dafa. Ms. Ma is currently being held in the Taihang Prison in Mancheng, Hebei Province. When she was initially sent there, officers in the prison forbade her from going to bed after work, since she refused to write the so-called "statements of transformation." [Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write these as proof that they have given up their belief. Created by the "610 Office," the three statements consist of a letter of repentance, a guarantee to never again practice Falun Gong, and a list of names and addresses of all family members, friends and acquaintances who are practitioners.] After suffering both mental and physical abuse, she now has high blood pressure. Her health condition no longer permits her to participate in forced labor.
