On July 1st, 2006, Mr. Ye Zhenlie, a 76-year-old Dafa practitioner, went to Wanzhou District, Chongqing City to clarify the truth about Dafa to the public. Ye was reported by an employee of the town government and was illegally arrested by the local town police. Ye was able to get away, but was secretly arrested again on the next day by the Fourth Police Station of Wanzhou District and the Wangjiang Road Resident Committee. Ye is currently being illegally detained at the Zhoujiaba Detention Facility.
Between 2000 and 2003, Ye Zhenlie was sentenced to 2 years in jail, sent to brainwashing sessions for more than one year, and illegally arrested 4 times because of his firm belief in and practice of Falun Gong. Ye's wife, Ms. He Zhengxiu, was also sentenced to jail due to her practice of Falun Dafa. Ms. He Zhengxiu was also sent to brainwashing and tortured many times both mentally and physically. Ms. He Zhengxiu passed away in March 2006. (For more details, please read the following Clearwisdom article: http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2006/4/12/71862.html.) Currently, there is nobody taking care of Ye's daughter, who is mentally ill.
