(Clearwisdom.net) Note: The following is an excerpt of an article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).

At 7:30 a.m. on June 28, 2006, officers from the Hebei Police Department in Heilongjiang Province went to the homes of Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Wu Guangmin, Mr. Jiang Biao, Ms. Jia Qiumei and to that of her mother Ren Xingqin. They arrested these practitioners and took them to Hebei County Detention Center.

Hebei County Police Department officials sent the four practitioners to the Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp around July 21 and sentenced them to two years of forced labor. Wu Guangmin and Ren Xingqin didn't pass the physical exam and were taken back to the police department. The Hebei County police not only didn't release the practitioners, but instead sent them to Hebei Detention Center. The practitioners have not been permitted to meet with their families for more than one month.

Ren Xingqin's oldest son Jia Yongfa and her third daughter Jia Dongmei were tortured to death at the hands of Jiamusi Labor Camp authorities and Hebei police officers. They left behind their young children. Within two years Ren Xingqin lost a son and a daughter to the persecution. Now her first and second daughter are being held at the Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp.

Currently, Wu Guangmin is being held at a Hebei Detention Center and is extremely weak. Her husband used to be the deputy head of the Hebei Forest Bureau, but is now semi-paralyzed and cannot take care of himself.
