At around 10:00 a.m. on June 23, 2009, Mr. Liu, 53, was clarifying the facts on Jinxia Road when he was reported to authorities. Two policemen soon arrived and showered Liu with kicks and punches, resulting in his many bruises and wounds. Later on, six agents from the Dongbao District 610 Office, from the Domestic Security Division and from the Police Department took Liu back, to ransack his home. Mr. Liu decided to go into exile to avoid further persecution.

Mr. Liu had gone to Beijing the second half of 1999, to appeal for Falun Gong. Agents from the Jingmen 610 Office sent people to Beijing to arrest him. Liu jumped out of the high-speed train on the return trip to Jingmen, resulting in paralysis in one of his legs.

In January 2000, Liu was sentenced to three years incarceration and sent to the Shayang Forced Labor Camp to serve his time. He was released three years later.

Ms. Zhu was reported to authorities while clarifying the facts in a park on May 19, 2009. She was captured by agents from the Shaowu City Domestic Security Division and interrogated.

Ms. Fang, 50, was arrested on July 3, 2008. Participating in the arrest were agents from the Sanjiang Town Police Station in Qijiang County. Following her two-week lock-up in a detention center, the officials transferred her to the Shabao Women's Forced Labor Camp where she was closely monitored. Due to the persecution she suffered from, she had back pain, swollen legs and vaginal bleeding. Since the labor camp forbade family visit, her family knew nothing about her deteriorating health. Labor camp officials sent her to the Heping Hospital for an examination. The doctors found multiple tumors in her body and recommended immediate surgery. To shirk responsibility, the camp officials decided to release her on medical parole and informed her local police station agents and her family to pick her up on June 9, 2009. Her family took her to a local hospital where her tumors were removed. At present, Ms. Fang has not yet fully recovered. Her back pain still persists, and she can't straighten her upper body.
