In the spring of 2002, Dafa practitioner Cheng Guilan was illegally arrested, his home was ransacked, and his property was confiscated. The police even took away a total of 12,000 Yuan, which was aid given to the immediate family members from the Deceased Soldiers' Fund.
On July 12, 2002, Dafa practitioner Dou Lihua was arrested at her home. The police fabricated the evidence and sentenced her to twelve years of imprisonment.
During the Moon Festival of 2002, Wu, an elderly Dafa practitioner from Longquan Village, was illegally arrested by the police. During the arrest, the police kicked him so hard that one of his ribs was broken. He was later sent to a detention centre. At first, the police tried to extort 5,000 Yuan from his family, then later lowered the amount to 2,000 Yuan in exchange for his release. Since the practitioner was extremely poor and had an aged and sick relative at home, the police finally realised that the chance of getting any money from them was slim, so they sentenced the practitioner to a forced labour camp without notifying his family.
