Case Description:
Ms. Zhang Fengxian was a Falun Dafa practitioner from Shuangqiao Village, Guanshang Town, Guandu District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province. Her husband, Mr. Yan Jingxiong, also a Dafa practitioner, was arrested and detained for one month by the national 610 Office starting on February 8, 2000. Ms. Zhang was severely devastated by her husband's arrest. On April 26, 2001, the police started to harass her. They broke into her home and ransacked it. Her husband was detained and tortured extensively. On July 20, 2001, the police broke into her home again and arrested Ms. Zhang's husband. On December 28, 2001, Ms. Zhang Fengxian and her husband were tricked and arrested by the police. Her husband was imprisoned in the local police station. Without any evidence or trial, Ms. Zhang's husband was sentenced administratively by the Yunnan Province Kunming City Guandu Police Station to two years in prison (the person in charge was Feng Jun) . Furthermore, his sentence was lengthened by the Administration Section of Yunnan Second Prison (Head of the Administration Section is Qu Kaiming). After experiencing firsthand dozens of forms of persecution and compounded by the torture of her family, Ms. Zhang could not care for her basic needs and her physical and mental health were devastated. Even after her husband was released from prison, the police still harassed the couple and monitored their activities. Ms. Zhang Fengxian passed away on May 8, 2005.
