Ms. Cao Qiongfen from Huangshi, Hubei Province, Was Persecuted to a State of Mental Collapse and Is Now Missing
Ms. Cao Qiongfen, in her 40s, was a resident of Dazhi City, Huangshi, Hubei Province. In August 2000, Ms. Cao was "illegally sentenced" to one year of forced labor and sent to Shizishan Forced Labor Camp in Hubei Province. In early September, she was transferred to the Ninth Team of Shayang Forced Labor Camp. Three months later, the persecution had left her in a state of mental collapse.
In March or April 2001, Ms. Cao was transferred to the Second Team of Shayang Forced Labor Camp. At that time, she nearly lost consciousness due to the brutal persecution she faced there. Even people who knew her very well were not able to recognize her. She was previously healthy and a little plump, but during that time, her weight dropped to less than 35 kilograms (77 lbs.), and she completely lost the ability to work. Despite her deteriorated health, the criminal inmates who were sent to monitor her still beat her and yelled at her frequently. People could hear her miserable cries from her room every day.
Ms. Cao Qiongfen's term was extended for a long time. As of now, no one knows her whereabouts.
