Two Dafa practitioners, Liu Hongtao and Zhang Qi, went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. They were forcibly sent to the Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp by police officer Zhang Jinsheng from the Cement Factory Police Station. They were sentenced to a one-year jail term. After their release, the police on many occasions went to the residence of the two Dafa practitioners to harass them. They were forced to leave home to avoid the further persecution. Later, they were arrested again and sent to Harbin No. 2 Detention Center and are still being persecuted there today.
