(Clearwisdom.net) On April 16, 2007, officers from the Luohu District Branch of the Shenzhen City Public Security Bureau, National Security Division, and Dongxiao Police Station arrested nine Falun Dafa practitioners, including Huang Ruhong, Wei Ruihua, Yang Huimei, Chen Ailan, Chen Shaoqin, Ma Yujiang, Chen Mushun, Liu Haifang, and Zhou Jinsong.

On May 23, 2007, Wei Ruihua, Yang Huimei, Chen Ailan, and Chen Shaoqin were sent to Guangdong Province's Sanshui Women's Forced Labor Camp to serve two-year labor sentences. However, Yang Huimei was subsequently released because she suffers from high blood pressure.

On March 11 and May 15, 2008, the Chinese Communist Party's public prosecutors announced the following sentences: One year and four months for Chen Mushun, two years for Liu Haifang, and three years for Ma Yujiang and Zhou Jinsong. Ma Yujiang was sent to the Xinhui Prison in November 2008 and Ms. Zhou Jinsong was sent to the Guangzhou Women's Prison on January 19, 2009.
