The Disciplinary Committee of Xishui county of Guizhou province expelled the former Deputy Secretary of Tuchen City, Lu Anqiu, from communist party because he refused to give up his belief in Falun Dafa.The Public Security Bureau decided to sentence him to 3 years in forcedlabor camp.
Toward the end of 1999, about 20 practitioners had been sent to forced labor camps. It is said that practitioners who went to Beijing toappeal more than once would be sent directly to forced labor camp.
Even in jail, practitioners still follow the teachings of Falun Dafa to improve themselves, and they have moved many fellow prisoners. For example, a practitioner named Zhao met a person who had failed to pay his debt in his real estate business in the detention center. The person had had very negative views towards Falun Gong. But through his contact with Zhao, he changed completely. When Zhao was to leave the detention center, he held Zhao's hand in tears and said that he would practice Falun Dafa in the future.
