Ms. Guo Qiutian is around thirty years old, and is from Zhangjiakan Village in Xingwangzhai Township, Zunhua City. Ms. Guo started practicing Falun Gong before the persecution began on July 20, 1999. To make it easier for others to study Falun Gong, she bought a tape recorder. After July 20, she continued practicing Falun Dafa. In November 2002, she left for Tiananmen Square in Beijing with other practitioners to peacefully appeal for Falun Gong. Her family members notified the local "610 Office." (The "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.) Mayor Zhang Xiaofeng personally drove a car and caught up with her while she was on her way to Beijing. She was unlawfully sent to a forced labor camp. Police officers injected her with medicine that was harmful to her central nervous system. She became mentally disabled. Although in March 2003 her family took her back home, she still suffers from the mental disability caused by the inhumane treatment.

In the evening of February 29, 2004 Falun Dafa practitioner Ren Youpeng was unlawfully arrested at the Yaowang Township government. Ren is currently being held at the Xingcheng Detention Center.

On the afternoon of February 24, 2004 Falun Dafa practitioner Fan Jinzhi from Xuchang City was arrested at home. Police officers Li Hongwei and Sun Lina from the Political Security Section of the Weidu District Branch Police Department carried out the arrest and ransacked Fan's home. In addition, two young Falun Dafa practitioners, Yang and Lin, were arrested by a police officer who had followed them. Lin was arrested on March 1, 2004 by officers who followed him all the way to Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. Many other Falun Dafa practitioners have been harassed at their homes by the police.

Since July 2003 officials of the Yongchun Prison have denied family members of steadfast Falun Dafa practitioners from visiting their loved ones. This policy has targeted, in particular, those family members who are themselves Falun Dafa practitioners. As a result, details of the persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners held in the prison are not available. It has so far been reported that Wei Xia is being held in Subdivision No. 6 of Section No. 4, and Ms. Wang Ya and Ms. Li Xiuying are being held in Section No. 6.

Ms. Du Wanrong, 52, is a doctor in the Qijiang County People's Hospital in Chongqing City.

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Yue Chunhua, 45, is the Chairperson of the Workers' Union at the Equipment Factory of the Chongqing City Bearing Company, and Head of the Labor Section. Ms. Yue was arrested in the train on her way to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She was initially sent to a brainwashing center for twenty days, and then detained for eighteen days. As she refused to give up practicing Falun Dafa, she was unlawfully sentenced to one year of forced labor. While being held in the Maojiashan Women's Forced Labor Camp in Chongqing City, she held firm her belief in Falun Dafa and its founder no matter what torture she had to go through. Her term was extended for a month because she refused to be transformed. After that she was directly sent to the Geleshan Brainwashing Center in Chongqing City and has remained there ever since.

In addition, informants notified the police when Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. You Jian and Ms. Li Fumin (of the Special Steel Factory) were clarifying the facts of the persecution to local residents in the Shuangbei area in Shapingba District, Chongqing. They were initially taken to the Baihelin Detention Center in Shapingba District and subsequently transferred to the Geleshan Brainwashing Center. On the morning of February 12, they managed to escape from the facility. The persecutors caught them while they were making phone calls. After being returned to the brainwashing center, they remained on hunger strike to resist the unjust persecution.
