Ms. Qi Lanying, 51, lived in Dongjie Village, Longhua County, Hebei Province. She had diabetes before she learned Falun Dafa, and was cured after practicing. She was first arrested in May 2003 while posting truth clarification materials. She was detained in Longhua County Detention Center, her body was severely injured, and officials extorted three thousand yuan from her.

She was arrested the second time on March 24, 2005 when she was posting a truth clarification banner, and again she was detained in Longhua County Detention Center, where she was cruelly tortured. She was already extremely weak, but the guards still shackled her legs, dragged her by her hair, and forced her walk in circles in the yard. She was picked up by her family when she was dying. Local police still went to her house to harass her constantly, threaten her, try to extort more money, and try to arrest her daughter. Her family did all they could to persuade Ms.Qi to renounce her practice. This hurt her more than anything else. She died in November 2005.

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Yu Bo, 60, was a retired doctor from Longhua County Women's and Children's Hospital. After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, she was harassed by the police many times and was locked in a brainwashing center. The police later arrested her at her home, detained her, and released her after her family paid several thousand yuan in extortion. Under the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) evil persecution, she suffered huge pain and pressure, and died in the first half of 2005.

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Dong Jingxiang was in his 50s and lived in Taishanhou Village, Longhua County, Hebei Province. He used to do small business, and his wife was also a Falun Dafa practitioner. After July 20, 1999, both he and his wife were detained many times, forced go through brainwashing sessions, and extorted of several thousand yuan. In November 2000, Mr. Dong was sentenced to two years of forced labor and then was bailed out by paying seven thousand yuan. His wife paid an additional 3350 yuan. Later, his wife was sentenced to forced labor, his life was very difficult, and he had to give up cultivation under huge financial and mental pressure. He became very ill and died in 2004.

Longhua County is a well known poor mountain area. During the past five years, the villains from the Longhua County State Security Division of the Police Department and 610 Office arrested Falun Dafa practitioners in order to extort money. They sentenced practitioners to forced labor, and then let them out after monies were paid.

On February 25, 2005, nine Falun Dafa practitioners from Longhua County went to the countryside to pass out truth-clarifying materials. They were reported, and detained in the County Detention Center. Three families were extorted of various sums of money (and released). Ms. Yang Sujie is still detained in the County Detention Center, and the other five practitioners, Ms. Li Xiulan, Ms. Pan Guiyun, Ms. Liu Ruifen, Ms. Shang Shuqin, and Ms. Jia Suxia are now in the Shijiazhuang City Women's Prison.
