Ms. Qing Mingzhen from Chengdu City, Sichuan Province was detained twice by Xiaotianzhu Police Station. She was sentenced to forced-labor for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong on November 29, 1999. In March 2000, Ms. Qing, along with her nine-year-old daughter, went to Beijing to appeal to the government for Falun Gong again. She was sent back to her hometown and detained for over thirty days before being imprisoned for one year in a forced labor camp. She was also dismissed from her job. In December 2000, Ms. Qing was sent to a labor camp and sentenced to another one and a half years.

In early July of 2003, Ms. Qing took vacation in her relatives' home in Hongyuan City,

Sichuan Province. Local government officials constantly telephoned to harass her, and even sent people to tail and watch over her, which caused tremendous stress to her family. This continued until her return to Chengdu. A few days later, when Ms. Qing visited her daughter at her mother-in-law's house, policemen harassed her by telephoning her around 1 o'clock in the morning. Her nearly 70-year-old parents and other family members were scared; the disturbance caused her father-in-law's high blood pressure to relapse. A few days later, less than ten minutes after Ms. Qing's return home, three policemen went to her house, and attempted to abduct her. The next morning, deceived by the police, Ms. Qing's brother sent her to a brainwashing class. A policeman slapped her face heavily 18 times in front of her family, causing her dizziness and profuse bleeding from her nose. Police then handcuffed her hands behind her back to a tree.

Later, Ms. Qing managed to escape and now has become destitute and homeless.
