Mr. Zhang Hongquan, a Practitioner from Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, Persecuted to Death

(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Zhang Hongquan, an IT engineer at Well-Survey Company of Daqing City's Petroleum Administration Bureau, started to practice Falun Gong in 1997 and regained a healthy body.

His life, however, changed after July 20, 1999, when the Chinese Communist regime cracked down on Falun Gong. Zhang Hongquan went to his local government agencies to clarify the truth about Falun Gong, but what awaited him there was always arrest. In 2000 he was headed off by his employer on the way to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and was subsequently detained for months. They persecuted him by withholding his pay, and then he was fired.
