Practitioner Gong Yinniu and his wife Bai Suqing lived in Beilou Village, Anguo City, Hebei Province. After July 20, 1999, when the persecution of Falun Gong officially started, the couple was monitored at all times. In winter 2005, Xue Xian from the National Security Division of the police department, led eight people to arrest the couple and sent them to Anguo City Detention Center. The police took away the 4,000 yuan that Ms. Bai Suqing had on her person, and they also stole a copy machine and a box of paper from her. Mr. Gong Yinniu is now held at Division 2 of Baoding Labor Camp, and Bai Suqing is under house arrest due to high blood pressure. Police officers stay outside her home on a daily basis to watch her every move.

Ms. Zhao Yuehong lived in Zhongfuluo Village, Xifuluo Township, Anguo City, Hebei Province. Zhao Yuehong and her husband rode bikes into the city in February 2004 to visit their son, who was studying there. They encountered Liu Jianyong, the former head of Xifuluo Township Police Station, who was with officers from the Anguo City Police Department. The police illegally arrested Ms. Zhao Yuehong. They framed Zhao Yuehong by claiming that the Falun Gong materials she was carrying were produced by her, and they sentenced her to three years of forced labor. She is savagely tortured at Balizhuang Labor Camp in Baoding City to this day. Liu Jianyong deceived Mr. Gong Yinniu into signing a document admitting to all the false charges against his wife. Liu Jianyong also threatened Ms. Zhao Yuehong's younger sister, telling her that he would rape her if she revealed the truth about Zhao Yuehong's arrest. Xue Xian from the National Security Division and driver Wang Dong beat Zhao Yuehong.

Practitioner Ms. Yang Xinli, 39 years old, lived in Zhangjiaying Village, Xifuluo Township, Anguo City, Hebei Province. She is now held at Balizhuang Labor Camp in Baoding City. After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began the persecution in 1999, she went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong by sharing her firsthand experiences. She was barbarically beaten and detained. Officers from the Anguo City Police Department and the 610 Office extorted more than 10,000 yuan from her family before releasing her.

Tian Xu, head of Xifuluo Township Police Station, led some police officers and officials from the City National Security Division to Ms. Yang Xinli's home to illegally arrest her. Yang Xinli was detained at Anguo City Detention Center, savagely beaten and later sentenced to 18 months of forced labor. Her husband left home to work in another city. Her parents-in-law and two children are left home alone. Her mother-in-law, who was healthy before the persecution, fell ill from anger and grief, and passed away three months after Yang Xinli's arrest in June 2006. The officials refused to let Yang Xinli see her mother-in-law for the last time before she died. After suffering the loss of two family members, her father-in-law's health worsened and he went blind. Yang Xinli's older son is 17 years old. He was forced to leave home and work. Her younger son is 14 years old. He left home on his own. His current whereabouts are unknown. A happy family has been shattered by the CCP.

Practitioner Mr. An Shilu is around 30 years of age. He was reported and sent to Balizhuang Labor Camp in Baoding City, where he is still being held. Further investigation into the details is underway.

Practitioner Li Feng lived in Qudi Village, Anguo City, Hebei Province. He was arrested for broadcasting truth clarification videos and was tortured in Xushui for several months, after which he received a lengthy prison sentence. He was tortured at the No. 4 Prison of Shijiazhuang City until he suffered a mental collapse. Li Dongpu, the current political head at the district police department, and officers from Baoding Police Department, once forced Li Feng to ingest some "medicine" that resembled cotton candy. The poison caused Li Feng to lose memory and consciousness, and he suffered general weakness in his body for several months. Even now, he cannot see clearly and he cannot hear anything. His family requested after the 2006 Chinese New Year that the authorities at the No. 4 Prison of Shijiazhuang City release Li Feng on medical parole. Right now, the guards do not allow Li Feng's wife to see him and they deny that he suffers from symptoms of illness. Li Feng's family requested that he be allowed to receive a medical exam outside the prison, but the guards refused. Li Feng currently experiences chest tightness, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, and severe swelling of the lower limbs. He frequently passes out. One time he lost consciousness for two days. His life is in constant danger.
