On October 21, 2000, he was unlawfully arrested and sentenced to 4 years in jail in a prison in Gansu Province, which is Mr. Cao's domicile. During his illegal imprisonment, Cao Dong had firm righteous thoughts and was persecuted for refusing to cooperate with the evil.

It was said that they were brutally tortured, but their righteous thoughts were unmoved. Later they were illegally sentenced to 4 to 6 years in jail (no details available).

Follow up on Yu Ping's situation:

An article in Chinese on Minghui on December 3, 2001, " Qinghua University Alumni Domestic and Abroad, Please Help Rescue Persecuted Qinghua Students!" has the following introduction:

Yu Ping, male, 30 years old, graduate research student in the Thermo-energy Department in the year 1995, started his doctoral program ahead of time, in March 1997, because of his excellent academic record. He had won both the "1.29" scholarship, and the "Simons Scholarship" from Qinghua University. Mr. Yu had been the President of Graduate Students' Union and the Deputy Head of graduate students' workgroup. In early June of 1999, the evaluation committee unanimously approved his doctoral thesis (responsible for the National 863 Plan, a high-tech project in the field of Astronomy), rated as Excellent Graduation Thesis. However, because he went to Tiananmen Square on June 20 to peacefully appeal for Falun Gong, Qinghua University refused to grant him his degree, treating it as if he had abandoned his doctoral program. Mr. Yu Ping, who had been granted a full scholarship to Ohio State University previously, thus lost his chance to further his study and research. Mr. Yu was later unlawfully sentenced to 4 years in jail.

More about him is now known as follows:

Yu Ping had written to Qinghua University to explain why he was firm in his practice and belief in Falun Dafa. Then he went to Tiananmen Square to unfurl a Dafa banner, and having righteous thoughts, came back on the same day. Later he went to Tiananmen Square with his newly wed wife (and an 8-year-old child) to validate Dafa. On the Square, he and the child were brutally beaten, but he left on the same day having held righteous thoughts. The whole family downloaded truth-clarifying literature from the Internet, and printed them in the room they rented. They also received practitioners from other cities. In November 2000, their home was illegally ransacked, and the police from Sanjianfang Police Station in Chaoyang District took all their personal belongings. Yu Ping was illegally detained and persecuted in the No. 7 section of Beijing Police Department and later was unlawfully sentenced to 4 years in jail.
