They were reported and arrested by Qian'an City Domestic Security agents. Ms. Liang's home was ransacked on May 23rd, and on June 11th, 2008 she was bailed out.

On April 2nd, 2009, Ms. Liang was detained for four hours, and her home was ransacked. The police shocked her private parts with electric batons. This incident took place after Ms. Liang revealed the persecution she was subjected to.

On September 11th, 2009 after having lunch, Ms. Liang Xiulan went downstairs from her apartment and was about to start her motorcycle, when suddenly a car stopped next to her. Policemen got out and forced her into their car.

Several days later, her mother and daughter went to the police department to request her release. The police chased them out and cursed them. They went again a few days later, but were turned away. On September 20th, 2009, Ms. Liang's mother and brother went to give her winter clothes. The detention centre guards refused the clothes and did not allow them to see her, but took 2,000 yuan¹ in cash.

Ms. Liang's husband is a stroke patient and needs care. Her daughter is a college student who lives out of town.

On December 3rd, 2009, Ms. Liang was secretly sentenced to eight years in prison, and she is currently held in the Qian'an City Detention Centre.
