Ms. Wang Yaqing was a 46-year-old hairdresser who lived in Jizhuang Village, Miyun Town, Miyun County, Beijing.

They arrested her and sentenced her to two years in a forced labor camp. According to what Wang Yaqing said before her death, she was first held in a detention center and later in the Dispatch Section for one night. Then she was sent to the hospital within the forced labor camp. The doctor drew one syringe of fluid from her lower back and injected some unknown drugs. She felt dizzy and drowsy after the injection. Five days later, Wang Yaqing was sent home, but her health deteriorated daily. She lost her eyesight and memory. She appeared mentally slow and suffered from asthma and edema. Wang Yaqing passed away on May 27, 2007, after enduring seven months of excruciating pain.
