Mr. Wang Youjiang, Ms. Chen Jie, and Ms. Chen Shuxian were arrested at Ms. Chen Jie's rental residence by two dozen officers led by Chen Zhikai from Chengguan District Domestic Security Division on June 28, 2012. After a hurried interrogation, Ms. Chen Jie and Ms. Chen Shuxian were taken to the Lanzhou City No. 1 Detention Center, and Mr. Wang was taken to the No. 2 Detention Center. Ms. Chen Shuxian was released on August 24, 2012.

Mr. Wang is a former lieutenant commander of the Lanzhou City Military Command Communications Department. He went to Beijing to appeal in January 2000, and has been detained several times since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began its persecution of Falun Gong in 1999. He has been imprisoned and tortured for ten years after being arrested by the Lanzhou City Police Department on January 6, 2001.

Ms. Chen Jie from Huining County in Baiyin City has a bachelor's degree education. Her elder sister, Ms. Chen Shuxian, was arrested in Yinchuan City in November 2002, when she was speaking to people about the persecution of Falun Gong. Ms. Chen Jie went to the Yinchuan Detention Center to bring clothes to her sister. On her way home, she was followed and arrested by officers from the Yinchuan Domestic Security Division.

After being brutally tortured, Ms. Chen Jie was taken to the Huining County Police Department in December 2002, and was detained on orders from the Huining Domestic Security Division. She was illegally sentenced to a three-year prison term by the Lanzhou Qilihe District Court in 2003, and was brutally tortured because she talked to people about the persecution of Falun Gong.
