Dafa practitioner Ms. Yang Chunfang is 34 years old, and is from Goubangzi of Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province. She was illegally sentenced to a forced labor camp for going to Beijing to validate Dafa in 2001. In the No. 2 Team of the Second Division, No. 2 Branch of Masanjia Labor Camp, she suffered from severe persecution and was forcibly brainwashed. She resisted the torture and held hunger strikes, but was force-fed by the guards. Because she refused to wear the jail uniforms, which are meant for prisoners, and refused to recite the jail rules, she was deprived of sleep. Three collaborators* took turns torturing her for 24 hours. They held her down to the floor and folded her legs. Two of them then pressed her legs and another one beat her head. In order to prevent her from shouting out so that others could hear, they gagged her with a towel. Over ten days later, her legs were so badly damaged from the torture that she could not walk. Two people dragged her along the floor by holding her legs.

Officials from the 6410 Military Factory in Jinxing County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, utilize the manpower from the entire factory to persecute local Falun Dafa practitioners. These officials put practitioners under surveillance, arranged workers to follow them, limit their travel, and restrict their freedom of speech. They conspire with the "610 Office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.] and local police to arrest and illegally detain practitioners. They also send practitioners to forced labor camps and brainwashing centers. They violate practitioners' basic human rights, including the freedom of speech. In addition, they continuously broadcast practitioners' personal records over loud speakers throughout the factory. These records include birthplace, social status, gender, age, work and social acquaintances. It is no different from the public denouncement excesses that occurred during the "Great Cultural Revolution." Such denouncement usually lasts many days. It is even broadcasted on the factory's internal television network and has caused many bad impressions upon the general public.

(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Yu Jinfang, 59 years old, is a retired worker of the 2^nd Auto Maintenance Factory of Gansu Province.

On July 20, 1999, Lanzhou City police arrested four practitioners for their belief in Falun Gong. Yu Jinfang and other practitioners went to the provincial government to clarify the truth of Dafa and demand that they release the detained practitioners. For doing this, he was detained for six months, and his workplace stopped paying his monthly pension of 400 Yuan [500 Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China]. It wasn't until January 20, 2000 that he was released.
