After he began practising Falun Gong, Mr. Yin Zijing benefited both physically and mentally; however, since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute Falun Gong, he has been repeatedly arrested and detained. At the end of February 2012, he was taken to the Shandong Province Forced Labour Camp. This is the third time that he has been detained in a forced labour camp.

On the afternoon of February 3rd, 2012, at about 1 p.m., Xu Xin, Chief of the Yanzhuang Township Police Station, led Wang Baozhuang, Ren Long, Zhu Shuang, Zhang Lianyi and several other policemen to ransack Mr. Yin Zijing's home. They took away Falun Gong materials and forced Mr. Yin into a police vehicle. Mr. Yin's family stood in front of the police vehicle in an attempt to stop them, but the police sounded their siren and took him away. Mr. Yin's sister went to the police station to deliver clothes to him, but her offer was refused. Mr. Yin was first held in a detention centre and then transferred to the Shandong Forced Labour Camp at the end of February 2012.

Before this, Mr. Yin had twice been detained in forced labour camps.

In February 2003, the Guan County 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) issued instructions to arrest three Falun Gong practitioners from every town under its jurisdiction. On February 28th, Mr. Yin Zijing, Mr. Dong Shuhua and Ms. Zhang Sizhen from Yandian Township were arrested. Later on, Mr. Yin was sent to a forced labour camp.

Around May 1st, 2005, Wu Guanzheng, Party Secretary of the Shandong Government went to Guan County to supervise the persecution of Falun Gong. Officers from the 610 Office arrested Falun Gong practitioners rampantly. Mr. Yin was taken to the detention centre at midnight on April 25th, 2005.

On the afternoon of September 28th, 2005, at 6 p.m., Mr. Yin Zijing was arrested and sent to the Shandong Forced Labour Camp in Wangcun, Zibo for three years. He went on a protest hunger strike at the end of April 2006, and the guards brutally force-fed him. Minghui Radio Station broadcast the inhuman torture he suffered to all the world on December 20th, 2006.
