Mr. Guo Xingguo, around 40 years old, was sentenced to 15 years in prison after attempting to go to Beijing to appeal against the persecution in 2002. In 2003, he was released because he was dying as a result of torture. But in 2004 he was imprisoned again. He became ill again and died on June 3rd, 2009.

Forty-something-year-old Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Fang Min was severely persecuted at the Chongqing Women's Forced Labour Camp and her life was in danger. She had symptoms of cancer, her four limbs were swollen and she was not able to speak. The forced labour camp issued a notice for her to be released on bail for medical treatment on June 8th, 2009. The local police station came to take her back on June 9th and she was sent home the same day.

In January 2009, guards in the Xishanping Forced Labour Camp in Chongqing City beat practitioner Mr. Jiang Xiqing until he was unconscious. While he was still alive, the guards cremated him. In the afternoon on May 13th, lawyers Mr. Zhang Kai, and Mr. Li Chunfu from Beijing were in the victim's home providing legal assistance and investigating the case when they were detained, beaten, and interrogated for over five hours. There were over twenty police officers at the scene. To force Mr. Jiang's family to abandon legal proceedings, Jiangjin District Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Politics and Law Committee Secretary Wan Fenghua increased the threats and persecution against Mr. Jiang's family.

On February 1st, 2007, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Guan Hua was sentenced to one year and six months of "re-education" through forced labour in Wanjia Forced Labour Camp. The guards attempted to force the practitioners to take a so-called test. The guards decided that Ms. Guan failed her "examination," so they forced her to stand on a stool, then pulled both hands behind her back. A guard tied her hands with one end of a rope, then passed the another end through a heating pipe above a window, while two other guards pulled forcefully on the rope. Ms. Guan then hung helplessly in the air. In order to cover up their torture activities, guard Jiang Tao used adhesive tape to cover Ms. Guan's mouth.

When I do a good deed, I have a strong desire for fame. And when my desire isn't satisfied, I am disappointed. Sometimes, I've even given up on myself and fallen into low spirits. In my daily life, I seek my parent's approval, my colleagues' approval, and my superior's approval.

In the end, they agreed to push me forward in the process because I was the only one in the school that "never accepted any money or gifts from parents." Even then, the principal was still unwilling to have me promoted. He gave me a half endorsement and asked me to go to another school to compete further.

On June 27th, 2009, a rally began with the performance of the Divine Land Marching Band at the City Square in central Melbourne, Australia. The rally was held to "Support the 56 Million Chinese People Who Have Quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Its Affiliated Organizations."
