Case Description:
Ms. Zhou Laxiang was the wife of Ms. Ji’s eldest son. She stopped practicing Falun Gong out of fear after seeing the police beat her mother-in-law and take her to the brainwashing center in the village.NNShe later had a stroke and lost the ability to take care of herself.NNShe started to practice Falun Gong again around 2011, and two months later she had recovered enough to do household chores. Seeing her healthy appearance and rosy complexion, one could hardly imagine that she had suffered a stroke not long before. Her whole family once again witnessed the miraculous power of Falun Dafa.NNWhen she attended the trial of a fellow practitioner in Yuci on May 18, 2015, along with her mother-in-law, the police threatened and interrogated her.NNEight days later, on May 27, Zhang Jiangang, head of the Ximing Police Station, and other officers went to harass her family. They searched her house and confiscated her Falun Gong books, Master Li’s portrait, her exercise music player, and Falun Gong literature. They intended to take Ms. Zhou away with them.NNMs. Zhou fainted, however, and the police left.NNIn early September 2015, Zhang Jiangang took several officers to her house again. Ms. Zhou had become very weak and could hardly walk, so they made her son carry her to the police car. At the police station, they forced her son to sign some kind of statement before they were allowed to return home.NNThe police harassed her family a number of times, and all this took a toll on Ms. Zhou’s deteriorating health.NNHer family took her to a hospital, where she stayed for ten days. The doctors finally told her family that there was nothing more they could do for her and asked them to take her home.NNIn the last few days of her life, Ms. Zhou became extremely feeble. She could sit only with support and could hardly utter a word. She could not eat or drink and had become just skin and bones. She needed oxygen all the time.NNEven so, Zhang Jiangang did not let up. He took about a dozen officers to Ms. Zhou’s home on the morning of October 15, 2015, to harass her again. Ms. Zhou could no longer bear it, and she passed away at 7:00 p.m. that evening, not long after the police left. She was only 54 years old.N
