Female Practitioner Bian Weixiang:
I started practicing Falun Gong in November 1998. After July 2001, police broke into my home and performed an illegal search. They kicked the door of my small grocery store to pieces, scattering biscuits everywhere on the floor, and swept away more than ten Dafa books.
In October 2000, I went to Beijing to appeal, but was arrested when I unfolded a banner and shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" I was sent to the Qianmen police station. At first, they asked for my address. I didn't tell them, so later on, they released me. I kept on doing Fa-rectification work on my return home.
Right before the 2001 Chinese New Year, the head of the local police forced me to his office. Under duress, I signed a guarantee saying that I would not go to Beijing during the Chinese New Year period. They also forced me to give them 3000 Yuan [Chinese currency, the monthly salary for an average Chinese urban worker is about 500 Yuan] as bail. I was freed after a two-day detention.
During the 2001 University Students Sports Games, the police went to my home to coerce me into writing a "no appeal, no practicing" guarantee, but I refused. They then brought me to the police station. I was unable to keep a strong will, and I wrote the "guarantee." Later I realized that was wrong, and wrote a solemn declaration to say that the "guarantee" was void.
During the 2002 Chinese New year period, the police forced me to the police station again and threatened to send me to a forced labor camp. I stayed there for one day, and escaped at about 8 p.m. by sending forth righteous thoughts to deny the arrangement of the old forces. I waited over 20 days before going home. My family was forced to give police 1000 Yuan as bail. I was actually monitored by police all the time, and my phone was tapped. On April 12, 2002, the local police station illegally sent me to the Wuchang 2nd Detention Center, where I am currently being detained. During this period of time, I was shackled and handcuffed in the room because I did Falun Gong exercises; I was even monitored while going to the bathroom.
Female Practitioner Chen Chunlan:
I am from Lalin Township, Wuchang City. On July 22, 1999, for going to the provincial government to verify Dafa, I was detained at Shuangcheng, then later at Wuchang, and released the next day. Since then, police have threatened us on all the holidays and festival days, saying that whoever goes to Beijing would be sentenced to forced labor camps.
In November 1999, I went to Beijing to verify Dafa, but was sent back to Wuchang city detention center and illegally jailed there for 15 days, and was released after 5000 Yuan had been extorted from me. On November 13, 2000, I went to Beijing to validate Dafa, and the police searched me and took 170 Yuan. I was illegally detained for over 50 days. I went on a hunger strike for 7 days, and 4000 Yuan was extorted from me and another 400 Yuan from my family. To avoid being arrested by police, I had to leave home for about 10 months. On April 14, 2002, I was arrested while staying in a fellow practitioner's home, and was sent to the Wuchang 2nd detention center. According to the orders from the city's "6.10 Office," we were not allowed to study Dafa or practice Falun Gong in the detention center. I was shackled and tortured for ten days for doing Falun Gong exercises.

I am a female, 37 years old, from Baojia village, Weiguo Township. I lived in a rented apartment in Wuchang City.
