(Clearwisdom.net) Shanghai practitioner Ms. You Xiuyun recovered from many diseases after she began practicing Falun Dafa. However, after the persecution started in July of 1999, Ms. You was "illegally detained" many times because she insisted in her belief of Falun Dafa and would not give in. In 2003 she was sentenced to a three-year term in a forced labor camp. While she was serving her sentence, her husband passed away because he could not bear the mental pressure of the situation. She was released from jail on May 6, 2005, but again arrested on the afternoon of May 24. More details follow:

Ms. You Xiuyun, 58 years old, lives at 89 Longshui South Road, room 104. At the end of 1997 she was diagnosed with cancer. She went to see famous doctors and went through surgery and chemotherapy treatment, but it was all in vain.

At the end of April 1999, she was lucky enough to join a Falun Gong exercise class and within less than a month, all of her illnesses disappeared without any further medical treatment. Since then, a previously hopeless family started to have a new life. Her husband also benefited from Falun Gong a great deal. His illness stabilized and his confidence that Dafa could cure illnesses increased.

On July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin started to insanely persecute Falun Gong. Ms. You Xiuyun went to Beijing in order to explain to the government the truth about Falun Gong based upon her actual experiences and compassionate heart. Unfortunately, she was taken into custody, sent back to Shanghai, and then detained for 30 days. Since then, representatives from the local Longhua police department, the street security, and neighborhood spies constantly come to her house, trying to force her to stop practicing Falun Gong.

On May 7, 2003, police came to her house, searched it, and confiscated some of her property. They then illegally arrested her. After that, Ms. You was sent to prison for nine months. She was tortured in prison and her weight dropped to only 35 kilograms. She was then detained for three years in Songjiang City's Sijing Women's Forced Labor Camp. She was strictly controlled by a single person for a long time. She was not even allowed to go to the restroom unattended. In order to attack her mentally, the guards brainwashed her, while using the hard labor to weaken her body and mind. They then manipulated a drug addict to attack her physically, which caused her body and mind to suffer from severe persecution.

Even more hateful is that in March 2004, Sijing Women's Forced Labor Camp sent a letter to her husband. In the letter, they lied about her having breast cancer and threatened her family to force her not to practice Dafa anymore by deceiving them into believing that she would be released on bail after she quit practicing. Her husband didn't realize that was a lie, and it concerned him very much. So, in spite of his sickness, he went to the cancer hospital to ask for his wife's patient records, and he then went to the police department and the street security department to get more information. Even though he was worried and tired, he went everywhere he could think of to find out information about his wife. Unfortunately, on the night of April 2 he had a stroke. He was sent to intensive care for emergency treatment, but he was already in a coma. On the afternoon of April 4, he passed away. This year he would have been 54 years old.

This lies and deception on the part of CCP officials directly led to the death of Mrs. You Xiuyun's husband. Her family was broken apart and her children were faced with some very serious burdens.

On May 6, 2005, when Ms. You was finally released, the local public security, street security, and neighborhood spies still kept a close watch on her. They even assigned people to watch her door. She totally lost her rights as a regular citizen. This kind of conduct breaks Chinese laws. Around 4:00 p.m. on the afternoon of May 24, 2005, police officer Xu Zhihua from Longhua Cetention Center and police officer Wang Weixing from the Xuhui Division Police Department lead some other people to once again break into Ms. You's house, illegally confiscate her belonging and arrest her. Now she is being detained in the Xuhui Detention Center, which is located at 15389 Lane, Longwu Rd.
