Having been subjected to severe beatings, Mr. Deng sustained many injuries, including injuries to his head and chest. He also lost one of his front teeth due to the beatings. Mr. Deng is very determined in his belief in Dafa, so the police had no way to deal with him.

The police tortured her so severely that she became disabled. Soon after, Ms. Dong was sent to Jintang County's 201 Hospital for medical treatment. Not long after the facts about the persecution of Don Jinzhi were exposed on the Clearwisdom website, she was arrested and taken to the Qingbaijiang Detention Center.

Under such circumstances, on October 28, 2003, the Qingbaijiang District Court sentenced Dong Jinzhi to five years of imprisonment but allowed the sentence to be served outside the prison. Six months have passed since the trial, and Ms. Dong is still detained at the Qingbaijiang District Detention Center.
