(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Zhang Mengzhen was a Falun Dafa practitioner from Zhucheng City, Shandong Province. She was in her thirties and was the sole owner of a clothing shop. After she began practicing Falun Gong, her conduct became more truthful, simple, open and frank. When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began the persecution of Falun Dafa, Ms. Zhang went to Beijing to appeal three times. She was arrested and subjected to brutal persecution which caused her father to die from shock. Ms. Zhang was beaten many times by a policeman named Cao Jinhui. To defend herself, she made arguments based on strong reasoning and explained herself with goodwill and compassion. However, she subsequently suffered even more cruel torture from Cao. She was tortured to the point of being near-death. Her back, buttocks, and the inside of her thighs all turned purplish-black due to the torture. Ms. Zhang was secretly transferred to a cave in Shandongtou, Zhucheng City, to be persecuted more. On September 1, 2007, she rode a tricycle to Weifang to shop. On her way home, she died in a car accident, but the details of the incident are unclear.
