Ms. Qi Lanying, 51, lived in Dongjie Village, Longhua County, Hebei Province. She had diabetes before she learned Falun Dafa, and was cured after practising. She was first arrested in May 2003 while posting leaflets exposing the persecution. She was detained in Longhua County Detention Centre, her body was severely injured, and officials extorted three thousand yuan¹ from her.

She was arrested the second time on March 24th, 2005 when she was posting a banner exposing the persecution, and again she was detained in Longhua County Detention Centre, where she was cruelly tortured. She was already extremely weak, but the guards still shackled her legs, dragged her by her hair, and forced her walk in circles in the yard. She was picked up by her family when she was dying. Local police still went to her house to harass her constantly, threaten her, try to extort more money, and try to arrest her daughter. Her family did all they could to persuade Ms.Qi to renounce her practice. This hurt her more than anything else. She died in November 2005.

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Yu Bo, 60, was a retired doctor from Longhua County Women's and Children's Hospital. After the persecution began on July 20th, 1999, she was harassed by the police many times and was locked in a brainwashing centre. The police later arrested her at her home, detained her, and released her after her family paid several thousand yuan in extortion. Under the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution, she suffered huge pain and pressure, and died in the first half of 2005.

In November 2000, Mr. Dong was sentenced to two years of forced labour and then was bailed out by paying seven thousand yuan. His wife paid an additional 3350 yuan. Later, his wife was sentenced to forced labour, his life was very difficult, and he had to give up cultivation under huge financial and mental pressure. He became very ill and died in 2004.
