(Clearwisdom.net) (Correspondent in Henan Province) Ms. Wang Yufen, due to her solid belief in Falun Dafa, has been detained in the Puyang City Detention Center and its brainwashing center. Her husband, who believed the lies of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), was unable to take the pressure. He frequently beat his wife and passed away in his mid 40's, leaving two children for his wife to take care of. It was a tough life.

Ms. Ma Lihui became a practitioner because of her health problems. When the CCP started persecuting Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, she went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice. Upon her return home, she was taken to the Shibali Forced Labor Camp in Zhengzhou City for three years. After that she was forced to go from place to place like a homeless person for a year because police frequently interfered with her at home, and her husband, unable to take so much pressure, also passed away.

At her job, her retirement pension has been withheld. Ms. Ma was forced to rent a place to live because Anyang City's 610 Office personnel kept bothering her even in the middle of the night, monitoring her for as long as 15 days in a row.

On September 24, police officer Zhang Xiaojiang of the Puyang City State Security Bureau in Henan Province, after monitoring Ms. Ma and Ms. Wang for four days, forced their landlord to open their door and arrested them. He confiscated everything in their room. The police then used force to extort confessions from them, causing them acute heart problems in the process.

Officers of the CCP took them to the Puyang City Detention Center even though the practitioners looked to be on the brink of death. However, the detention center officials refused to admit them. Not wanting to give up, the police took the women to two different hospitals to be examined. The results were the same both times, the practitioners had acute heart problems and were in grave danger.

Under these circumstances, the police forced them to call their families. After extorting 20,000 yuan from each of their families, they were finally allowed to go home on bail. The two practitioners are still under continuous surveillance.
