On February 2, 2005, Falun Gong practitioner Wang Guilan of the Xiangheyuan Area, Chaoyang District, Beijing was deceived into the residents committee office by the Committee Secretary Zhang Xueying, and was later illegally arrested. Since the persecution began on July 20, 1999 until now, the Xiangheyuan Area (around Zuojiazhuang), the local 610 Office, the police station, and residents committees have cooperated with Jiang Zemin's regime to viciously persecute Falun Gong. The Xiangheyuan Area has encountered the most severe persecution.

For more than five years, more than one hundred Falun Gong practitioners in the Xiangheyuan Area have been directly persecuted. They have been monitored, harassed, threatened, arrested many times, detained and held in custody, physically abused, sent to brainwashing centers and forced labor camps, sentenced to prison, and even tortured to death. The 610 Office and policemen also incited the public to hate Falun Gong practitioners. They arranged security guards, elevator workers, Communist Party members, activists in the area, and practitioners' neighbors to monitor and follow practitioners. From the young to the old, many people in the area regarded persecuting Falun Gong practitioners as the most important task. In the Xiangheyuan Area, the numbers of people being sent to the forced labor camp and brainwashing center are the greatest in Beijing. In order to achieve a 100% "transformation" rate, the money the brainwashing center has spent is also the greatest in Beijing. The number of evildoers who persecute Falun Gong practitioners, from police station managers to area police, from the 610 Office chief to the Residents' Committee Secretary that have been commended and promoted, is also the greatest in Beijing. For example, Residents Committee Office Chief Xue Youxin and Zhang Decai have been promoted for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Xue Youxin even boasted that they had a 100% "transformation" rate. Cao Guo from the 610 Office became a top Communist Party member for "transforming" and arresting Li Shanjuan.

We demand that the murderers and accomplices who persecute Falun Dafa and practitioners are severely punished, and all the evildoers receive justice according to the law. We will expose the crimes of the Xiangheyuan Area to the world.
