On the night of December 30, 2002, the Deputy Superintendent of Shuangta and Linghe Police Department, Liu Guozheng, along with two policemen, kidnapped Dafa practitioner Wu Rongjia from Zhaoyang City, Liaoning Province at the entrance of a Dafa practitioner's apartment. They held Wu at Linghe Police Station overnight with both of his hands handcuffed to a chair. The next day, they handcuffed Rongjie's hands together and hung him with his hands suspended over his head for the whole day. Rongjie was very firm and did not give in. Around five o'clock in the evening, he was sent to the No. 1 Detention Center in Wujiawa.

On January 18, 2003, Zhaoyang City Dafa practitioners Meng Qingxiang and Zhang Cuihua went to Jianping County to clarify the truth. They were followed by police and detained in Yebaishou Town. They were inhumanly tortured at the Yebaishou Detention Center. On January 28th, the National Security Unit of Jianping County Police Branch Office sent both practitioners back to the First Detention Center in Zhaoyang City, where they were prosecuted by the Shuangta Judicial Office.

On January 22, 2003, near the Jinyuan market in Zhaoyang City, a few policemen from the National Security Unit of Shuangta Police Station detained Dafa practitioner Yan Xuguang. After being inhumanly tortured by the Shuangta District National Security Unit, he was imprisoned and persecuted at Xidayingzi Forced Labor Camp in Zhaoyang City.
