A Brief Report of the Incident:

Long Cuihua, her husband Zhou Yuelin, and her son Zhou Qiang are all being persecuted because of their faith in Falun Gong. Zhou Qiang is a good student in Wuhan Topography and Cartography University. Since he refused to denounce Falun Gong, he was expelled from the University. When Ms. Long and Zhou Qiang went to Beijing to appeal for their right to practice Falun Gong, they were arrested and detained in Xinzhen Detention Center in Kunshan city until May 18, 2000.

On the evening of June 28, 2000, all three members of Ms. Long's family were tricked by the police and sent to a detention center with their hands cuffed behind their backs. While in custody, they were interrogated many times and suffered all kinds of personal attacks, vicious abuse, insults, and beatings.

One month later, on July 28, 2000, when Ms. Long's husband was released, Ms. Long and her son, Zhou Qiang, were sent to Chengbei Mental Hospital in Kunshan city. They were treated as psychiatric patients and forced to take unnecessary medicine for over ten days.
